Mr. Pham Viet Cuong - Secretary of Bui Xa Ward said that although the village has been moved to the city, there is still a lot of agricultural land, most of the people have gathered their land to lend or rent to focus on making traditional Nem Bui. The difference of Nem Bui is that it must use hot meat, butchered pigs, the buttocks are still warm and the owner has mixed them with a little fat, skin and spices. Nem Bui has similarities with Nem Phung but the ratio of lean meat is higher and only uses roasted rice powder. The pork is steamed rare and then mixed with powder to create a characteristic sweetness and aroma.

The ward secretary's house also makes Bui spring rolls, producing 1,000 rolls a day, each weighing 300 grams, the scale is classified as small, while larger houses make up to several thousand rolls a day. Bui Xa's total daily output of spring rolls is about 100,000 rolls with a selling price of 30,000-50,000 VND/roll depending on regular or custom-made products, mainly exported to neighboring provinces and cities such as Hanoi, Bac Ninh City, Bac Giang .

Each household in the neighborhood is in charge of a stage: this household makes spring rolls, that household makes leaves, that household makes rice powder…creating jobs for thousands of workers with an average income of 8-10 million VND/month.

However, it is worth noting that people with experience making Nem Bui are increasingly rare, mostly old people, while their children often choose other jobs, few people follow this profession because of the hard work, meticulousness and low income.
