What is the nutritional value of Wuyang Gangzi bread

Fermented bread and Mantou are conducive to digestion and absorption, because enzymes in yeast can promote the decomposition of nutrients. Therefore, people with weak digestive functions such as thin bodies, children, and the elderly are more suitable for eating such foods. Similarly, it is better for office workers to eat fermented pasta such as Mantou for breakfast, because the energy in it will be released quickly, making people energetic all morning; But for those who want to lose weight, it is better to eat less Mantou for dinner to avoid getting fat

Barbecue steamed buns are made by burning wood in a special farmyard made iron pot, which retains the rich flavor of Mantou, which is incomparable to Mantou

How did the history of Wuyang Gangzi bread come about

When the army was preparing to cross the river, suddenly there was a strong wind, waves hitting thousands of feet, ghosts crying and wolves howling, and the army was unable to cross the river. At this moment, Zhuge Liang summoned Meng Huo to inquire about the reason. Originally, during the battle between the two armies, the fallen soldiers were unable to return to their hometowns to reunite with their families, so they caused trouble on this river and obstructed the return of the soldiers. If the army wants to cross the river, they must sacrifice 49 heads of barbarian soldiers to the river in order to calm down

Zhuge Liang thought to himself: casualties are inevitable in the battle between the two armies, how can we kill 49 more people? He thought of this and came up with a plan, which was to order the chef to use rice flour as skin, wrap it with the flesh of black cows and white sheep, and shape 49 human heads. Then, set up incense burners and sprinkle wine to offer sacrifices to the river
