Authentic Shui Ye shortbread is "housekeeper sesame seed cake". The founders are Guan Jixing and Guan two brothers in Dongbei Street, Shui Ye Town, Anyang County.

1905, 12 year-old Guan Jixing and 10 year-old Guan lost their parents. In order to make a living, Guan Jixing worked as a coolie and sold cookies to others. Although the two brothers work hard from morning till night, they still don't have enough to eat and wear. Seeing that others can eat and wear warm clothes when doing business, I discussed the idea of starting my own business-making sesame cakes. After selling cookies every day, Guan went to see how the master beat cookies. Later, he tried to hit a few, took them to the street and sold them out at once. This increased the brothers' idea of doing business. He and his brother worked hard and saved money to open a biscuit shop. After several years' efforts, the preparations were finally completed at 1927, and it was officially opened. They are not conformist, dare to innovate, and gradually turn the original two-layer baked wheat cake into a multi-layer crispy baked wheat cake. The pastry is crispy outside, like a thousand-layer cake inside, with a pastry center in the middle, sweet and salty. Young and old minds.

At 1930, more than 100 biscuits in Shui Ye Town started a competition. Therefore, Guan Jixing and Guan's crispy sesame cakes are unique, ranking first among the sesame cakes. Since then, the "housekeeper sesame seed cake" has gained a great reputation in Zhangde, and its business is booming.

After liberation, with the development of cooperative movement, Guanjia bakery closed down. In order not to lose the craft, Shui Ye Town Catering Service Company recruited Guan Jixing to teach in the state-run canteen, and Guan Jixing's uncle only learned from him.

After the death of Guan Jixing and Guan, due to the left-leaning trend of thought, Guanjia baked wheat cake disappeared after repeated robberies.

After the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee, in order to explore this famous folk food, Shui Ye Town Catering Service Company recruited Guan Shu, a descendant of the housekeeper's baked wheat cake, to teach technology in the state-run canteen.

From 65438 to 0980, "housekeeper's sesame seed cake" was exhibited in Zhengzhou, the provincial capital, and was well received by the famous teachers attending the meeting. The production method was compiled into the book "Henan Flavor Snacks".

1983, Guan E, the daughter of Guan, was under the care of the town people's government, and then hung up the brand of "Guanjia Roasted Sesame" again, which was managed by her son Qiao San and her daughter Qiao. They constantly improved their production technology and made the housekeeper's roasted sesame seeds famous again. Now, "housekeeper baked wheat cake" can be seen everywhere in Shui Ye, and it has opened a shop in Anyang, which has become a kind of flavor snack in Anyang.
