Zeng Lu suddenly saw the person next to him eating something fragrant in the big bowl, gobbling it up, swallowing dates, so he asked curiously: "Boss, what is this delicious?" It looks pleasing to the eye and relaxing, and each of us has to come to such a big bowl." ”
The boss said sprinkledly: "This is the famous Xinjiang mixed noodles, commonly known as pulled noodles, a kind of noodle made directly by hand without rolling and pressing." The key to making noodles is to put an appropriate amount of salt. It is named because of its unique preparation method and mixed with vegetables. And our Xinjiang noodles originated from Shanxi camel guests. Because people transported goods to Xinjiang through the endless desert, they could only rely on camels, the ships of the desert. Therefore, in the past, these camel passengers who ran transportation traveled to and from the Silk Road for many years, and after going out for a long time, the hometown meal was always the concern in their hearts. The technique of Shanxi ramen was brought to Xinjiang by Shanxi camel customers, and it was named Xinjiang mixed noodles because it was made with vegetables. We nodded approvingly, it turned out that there is a moving story behind each dish.
Xiao Feimei said: "By the way, I want to eat this, Xinjiang's hand pilaf, rich in variety, colorful, colorful, it looks very Xinjiang local color." ”

He chose mutton, carrots, onions, clear oil, mutton fat and rice with water and salt, and then simmered over low heat, and finally after eating for many days, he felt that his body was cured and he was much healthier, which is the pilaf commonly eaten by Uyghurs. ”
After a while, Xiao Erli served the food, Xiao Fei ate a few bites, devoured it, and left oil in his mouth, he wiped the oil on the side of his mouth while eating, and unconsciously a large bowl of noodles was eaten by him, he wiped the oil on the side of his mouth, the aftertaste was endless, and he was full of praise and said:" It seems that the mutton of Xinjiang is really worthy of its name, especially delicious and delicious, fragrant and glutinous and soft, especially the mutton in ancient times, it seems that the mutton of Xinjiang is really worthy of its name, worthy of its name, it can be described as the most delicious mutton in the world, because they drink pure glacier water from the snow-capped mountains, the real Nongfu Spring is a little sweet, eat the hot Chinese herbal medicine, with the function of detoxification, is the real green, pollution-free, pollution-free mutton, it is really delicious, fragrant and delicious, melt in the mouth.
