"Where is this, if it is really according to the standard, these noodles I make are not qualified, but I don't plan to use it to sell, there is no need to make it so meticulous, anyway, I eat it by my own people." ”

Ye Luo smiled, took out the boiled noodles, and filled two bowls each, and then said to Lin Kai: "Wait until I study and study it well, and strive to pull out finer noodles when the time comes, in fact, I think that it doesn't mean that the thin noodles are delicious, it depends on personal taste." ”

As in the process just now, he knew that his daughter loved meat as much as he did, so he scooped a few pieces of meat separated from the bones in the big bone broth, and gave one bowl to his daughter and the other to Elizabeth.

"Whew, whew......" The little guy couldn't wait to pick up a wisp of noodles and blew a few breaths, and then followed with a big bite.

It's still a little hot, but the little guy is also a tried and tested person, and he doesn't care about this hot at all.

After taking a bite, the familiar smile of the little guy after eating the delicious food was presented in front of everyone.

Seeing this, Elizabeth ate it unceremoniously, and after tasting the taste, her beautiful eyes suddenly widened, and then she was not afraid of being hot, and began to devour it.

Lin Kai on the side couldn't help but swallow his saliva, staring at Ye Luo with fiery eyes, it seemed that he was also planning to taste it.

After perceiving Lin Kai's eyes, Ye Luo pursed his lips, but still filled a bowl and handed it over.

Noodles originated in China and have been made and eaten for more than 4,000 years.

Noodles are a kind of health food that is simple to make, easy to eat, nutritious, and can be used as a staple food and fast food, and has long been accepted and loved by people all over the world.

Noodles are a kind of flour made of grains or legumes and ground into a dough with water, and then either pressed or rolled or rolled into slices and then cut or pressed, or kneaded, pulled, pinched and other means to make strips (narrow or wide, or flat or round or small flakes, and finally boiled, fried, stewed, fried into a kind of food.

It is famous for its wide variety of patterns, varieties and local characteristics.

For example, longevity noodles eaten during birthday celebrations and fragrant pasta from foreign countries are almost always mild and chewy, and the flavor of the noodles is developed to the extreme.

In China, originally all noodles were collectively referred to as cakes, and those cooked in soup were called 'soup cakes', the earliest noodles.

Han Liu Xi's "Interpretation of Names and Diets" has suo cakes, and Jia Sixian's "Qi Min Yaoshu" of the Northern Wei Dynasty records "water leading cakes", which is a kind of boiled food that is one foot and one break, as thin as 'leek leaves'.

In the Tang Dynasty, there was also a cold noodle called cold water Tao.

There are as many as 10 varieties of noodles in the Song Dynasty food market, which are rich and colorful, including meat noodles and topping noodles.

In the Yuan Dynasty, there were somen noodles that could last for a long time.

In the Ming Dynasty, there were highly skilled ramen, and there were also special knife-cut noodles made in Shanxi and other places.

During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, there were Yifu noodles that were boiled and fried, and then boiled and cooked with dishes, which are famous noodle products in Chinese history.

"Jing Chu Years Chronicles" says: "In June, the soup cake is eaten on the Fu day, and it is called to avoid evil." ’

Evil, sickness and filth also. Futian flies have many bacteria, unclean diet, and are prone to intestinal diseases.

The 'soup cake' is boiled in boiling water and eaten hot, which is probably the least polluted food in ancient times, which will greatly reduce the occurrence of diseases.

The patient has poor immunity, so of course he must eat the cleanest food. This is why, for thousands of years, noodles have been used in the meals of patients.

Today's research shows that the soup cake is actually a kind of dough soup, and the mixed dough is torn into a dough sheet in the hand and boiled in a pot.

If the word "tear" is changed to "knife cutting", it will become a knife cutting surface that is still widely spread in Shanxi.

Later, the noodle-making process was changed to knead it to a thickness like chopsticks

The ruler is broken, and the dish is soaked in water. 'It is advisable to put your hand on the bell, and the order is as thin as a leek leaf, and boil it one by one' ("Qi Min Yao Shu", at this time the appearance of the noodles resembles a wide noodle.

When it came to the Jin Dynasty, it was formed into thin strips again. Fu Xuan's "Seven Mo" Dao, there is the sum of three animals, when the guest is in the face, suddenly swimming in the water and leading, into the thin feathers, as thin as the thread of the Shu cocoon, as beautiful as the line of Lu Min, which is almost comparable to Li Enhai's craftsmanship.

The shape of the noodles is finally fixed into long strips.

In the Song Dynasty, soup cakes were also renamed noodles (in the Tang Dynasty, it was called '馎饦'.

The appearance of noodles makes people associate them with "shapes given to the situation", and associate noodles with birthdays and birthdays.

According to customs and etiquette, eat longevity noodles on birthdays.

As for why you eat noodles for your birthday?

Ma Yongqing of the Song Dynasty said in "Lazy Zhenzi" that "those who must eat soup cakes will want the so-called longevity noodles in the world." ’

Why are noodles a symbol of longevity?

Because the shape of the noodle is 'long and thin', and the homonym is 'longevity'.

Noodles have become the best food for plattering.

There is also a theory that during the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, people believed that the length of life was related to the length of the person, and the length of the person depended on the length of the face, and the noodles were secretly in line with the 'length of the face', and the longevity of the noodles came from this.

Noodles are mainly made of wheat flour, and before the appearance of noodles, rice and porridge were the staple foods of the common Chinese, but after the appearance of noodles, noodles were on an equal footing with rice food.

Northerners mainly rely on pasta as their staple food, while southerners rely heavily on rice, but pasta has also become an important snack.

There is a world of difference between the north and the south.

In the south, 'noodles' refers to noodles made of flour, mainly egg noodles, using duck egg yolk instead of eggs, with a small body and a refreshing texture. Among them, there are both raw noodles and dry noodles. Popular dishes include thin strip noodles and shrimp noodles.

The 'noodles' in the north refer to the flour made from wheat, and the noodles are mostly made of alkaline water, which can be easily digested by adding alkaline water, so noodles have become the main food of northerners.

Compared with the southern ones, the northern noodles are thicker and the surface quality is soft and flexible. In the north, if you say 'ask for noodles', the normal boss will only give flour, while in the south, you will sell noodles that have already been processed.

Northerners eat noodles as their staple food, so pasta is more important in terms of quality and quantity.

Northerners often add seasonal leaves to make noodles freshly cooked, accompanied by raw onions, raw garlic, coriander and other seasonings, the flavor is heavy and oily, the ingredients and soup are relatively salty, mainly to ward off the cold, and the large amount of rice can also be served with steamed buns and baked cakes.

On the contrary, in the south, because the southerners take rice as the staple food, noodles are snacks or entertaining, catering to the tastes of the northerners, because of the small habit of preferring to serve in small bowls, but do not put green onions, ginger, leafy vegetables, like to put soy sauce, mustard, and cabbage oil, generally dried noodles, the appearance and taste are unsatisfactory for the noodle-loving people.

Of course, traditional noodles are made by hand, with Japanese noodles, noodles beaten, ramen or cut noodles by hand, but the southern and northern noodles are also different and have their own characteristics.

The famous ramen in the north, as the name suggests, is made by hand, and it is not easy to make ramen soft but tough, and it requires excellent strength, proper control of strength, and softness in the middle to make a good product.

On the other hand, the southern noodles are soft and rigid, cool but not crispy, and the key is also the strength of the dough, after the dough is reconciled, the bouncing force of the human body is used to press it with a large bamboo, the dough is pressed, and finally cut into fine strips.

To be the characteristics of Chinese noodles, the first recommendation is Yifu noodles, referred to as 'Yi noodles', which can be boiled in soup or stir-fried, created by the Qing Qianlong Jinshi Yi Bingshou family chef.

Yifu noodles are produced in both the north and south of China, especially Fujian and Jiangxi. The characteristic of Yifu noodles is that it does not use water and noodles, but uses egg liquid, which is boiled in boiling water and then cooled and dried in cold water, and then fried in oil to make it a semi-finished product.

Because of the unique preparation method, it can be suitable for different cooking methods, so Yifu noodles are indeed the top quality noodles and special noodles on the banquet.

Another well-known dandan noodles was produced in Sichuan in 1841.

The meaning is extremely simple: 'carrying the burden and selling noodles'.

It is said that at that time, the people's livelihood was poor, and a hawker named Chen Baobao took up the burden to sell noodles along the street in order to make a living.

Although pasta was considered a high-quality dish in ancient times, it was loved by dignitaries and nobles; However, dandan noodles are not only sold to the wealthy, but also to the common people.

At first, the dandan noodles were only sold in the narrow alleys of the side streets, the noodles were quite rough, only cooked with boiling water, and the soup base was made of chili oil, soy sauce, and a little fried vegetables, which tasted spicy and made to make a stomach. It was not until the later stage that I entered the big hotel and hotel, and then boarded the banquet table with other snacks.

Wanton noodles, which are very popular in Hong Kong, are made up of raw noodles on the bottom.

Raw noodles were made in Guangdong in the early days, and they were made with eggs or duck eggs, which made the noodles refreshing, and duck eggs that added an eggy flavor to the noodles. Good raw noodles are called silver silk young noodles, the noodles should be young, yellow after cooking, of course, they should be refreshing and springy, not too hard and not too soft, and most importantly, the raw noodles should not have the smell of alkaline water after cooking.

Of course, in addition to the different cultures of the North and the South, many Chinese noodles also have different meanings or unique stories behind them.

Traditional Chinese noodles – longevity noodles.

Chinese must eat food at the end of the banquet on their birthday, because the noodles are long, meaning a long life.

In ancient times, eating longevity noodles symbolized blessings for a long life and a hundred years old for newborn boys, and this world has been passed down.

When eating noodles, swallow the whole noodle at once, neither with chopsticks nor with a bite.

Eating longevity noodles not only means longevity, but also represents respect for the elderly.

It is rumored that the Yellow Emperor became an immortal on the day of the winter solstice, and every winter solstice since then has eaten longevity noodles to represent respect for the elderly, so longevity noodles are also called 'winter solstice noodles'.

In fact, there are many opinions about the meaning of 'longevity noodles', and the above is just one of them.

The noodles eaten on birthday are also called 'shou noodles'.

The noodle line is most famous in Fuzhou and has many names. For example, when you get married, you will be called 'happy noodles', if you give them to your wife during childbirth, if you give them to relatives and friends, if you give them to your relatives and friends, if you eat them as healthy food, you will be called 'healthy noodles'.

There is a folk legend that the noodle thread is a congratulatory gift prepared by the Nine Heavens Xuannu for the birthday celebration of her mother, the Queen Mother, so the people who make the noodle thread will worship the idol of the Nine Heavens Xuannu at home.

Another example is the 'cold tao' mentioned earlier, which was originally created by Wu Zetian, the only female emperor in China today.

It is said that Wu Meiniang was beautiful when she was young, and she was elected to the palace as a talented person at the age of fourteen.

Because they wanted to be separated from their childhood sweetheart Chang Jianfeng, they went to a noodle shop to eat noodles before entering the palace.

Seeing that the weather was hot that day, Mei Niang had an idea and developed a soft and delicious 'cold tao' with her boss.

Coincidentally, the day was Mei Niang's birthday, in order to miss the situation of the year, to the future every day of Wu Zetian's birthday, the imperial kitchen was ordered to cook cold Tao, until the end of his life, this habit has not changed.

Shaanxi Qishan noodles have another story, Qishan noodles are also known as 'harmony noodles'.

It is said that during the Western Zhou Dynasty, King Yin was jealous of the merits of King Ji Chang of Zhou Wen and imprisoned him in the castle of Jinli.

Later, when King Wen of Zhou returned to his hometown, the villagers saw that he had become emaciated due to suffering, and they brought a lot of food to replenish his body.

In order to thank everyone for their love for him, King Zhou Wen personally made noodles and cooked noodles with the food brought by everyone.

After eating the noodles in person, everyone poured the remaining soup back and poured the noodles again.

This method of eating only noodles without soup is called 'waki noodles'.
