On February 9, inside Jiaoji Steamed Bun Shop in Mazhuang Village, Jiaozuo City, Henan Province, the artisan’s hands brought to life intricate flour creations: golden hedgehogs carrying red dates, plump smiling piglets, and other figures. Each piece emerged as a fragrant work of art, carrying the warm scent of wheat.

In Jiaozuo, decorative steamed buns hold ceremonial, gifting, and symbolic significance during important occasions such as weddings and birthday celebrations. In recent years, as handmade decorative buns shifted from home kitchens to workshop-based, standardized, and scaled production, high-power electrical equipment such as electric steamers, electric ovens, and electric dough kneading machines became standard equipment. These devices place high demands on voltage stability and continuous power supply. The State Grid Jiaozuo Power Supply Company placed bun workshops under a dedicated power supply protection program. Through hazard inspections, equipment upgrades, and safety training, the Company has effectively ensured stable electricity supply and safe electricity use for traditional flour craft production.

The State Grid Jiaozuo Power Supply Company has proactively coordinated with local government authorities, cooperatives, and craft inheritors. While continually upgrading the power grid, it has also provided customized power supply services, providing stable and reliable power support for the industrial development of traditional folk products.
