The traditional "bamboo lift" pressing surface is selected. Makes noodles. Put in the soup and boil, scoop up, and serve. The noodles are crispy and elastic, full of toughness, and the soup is delicious.

The bamboo pole selected for the bamboo lifting surface is elegant, and it should be thick enough to ensure that it has a relatively large covering surface to replace people's hands. After the master kneades the dough, he puts the dough on the cutting board, then sits on the bamboo pole, kicks and kicks with his feet, and the bamboo pole crushes the dough. After an hour or two, the dough is ready to be kneaded into thin noodles as thin as silver threads. During the rolling process, not a drop of water is added. Usually when mixing noodles, water is not added, and eggs are not added, but duck eggs are used, and the noodles made with duck eggs are refreshing and full of egg flavor.
