Xiao Hua heard that there was a national state banquet chef living in Chrysanthemum Valley, and people called him Xu Guochu. After he retired, he lived in seclusion in his hometown of Chrysanthemum Valley.

Xiaohua and Yuanyuan took a long-distance bus all the way to Chrysanthemum Village, and Xiaohua asked Xu Guochu in the village to live in seclusion in the Chrysanthemum Valley, which is still five kilometers away from the village.

The side of the sheep intestine path in Chrysanthemum Valley is full of all kinds of chrysanthemums, and the flowering period at this time has passed, otherwise it must be better than good-looking. Chrysanthemum Valley is named after chrysanthemums.

Xiaohua said: "The environment here is so beautiful, no wonder Xu Guochu is reluctant to go out." Yuan Yuan said: "I don't know if I can invite Xu Guochu this time." ”

At noon, Xiaohua and Yuanyuan came to a wooden house, there were three wooden houses, the outside was surrounded by a fence, and there was an uncle in the backyard of the wooden house who was farming.

Yuan Yuan shouted outside the fence, "Uncle, excuse me, can you let us in?" The uncle still bowed down to farm and ignored the two of them.

Yuan Yuan said: "Auntie, this uncle is a little weird and ignores us. Xiaohua said: "I heard that many people came here before, and invited the uncle to work with a high salary." The uncle refused. ”

When the land was planted, the uncle went into the house. Yuan Yuan said: "What should I do?" This uncle can't hear with his ears. Xiao Hua said: "He may not want to see us, let's wait patiently outside!" See if he can let us in. ”

They waited until late in the evening, and the two of them shouted loudly, "Uncle, can you let us in?" The uncle in the house seemed to hear the voice, "It's getting dark, these two girls haven't left yet, I'll go out and tell them to go back, otherwise I won't be able to catch the long-distance bus when it's late." ”

Xu Guochu came to the fence with a charitable face, "Mushroom Liang, you better go back!" Xiao Hua said: "Uncle Xu, we are from the provincial capital and want to invite you to work." ”

Xu Guochu looked at the small painting and actually opened the fence door, "Come in!" Uncle Xu took them to the house, "You haven't eaten yet!" I don't have any ingredients here, so I'll make you some noodles to eat. ”

Xu Guochu said to Xiao Hua: "You go to the vegetable field to pick some chives and vegetables." Xiaohua and Yuanyuan went down to the ground, and Yuanyuan said: "Auntie, Uncle Xu originally wanted to refuse us, but as soon as she saw you, she let us in, so strange." ”

After picking the vegetables, the two returned to the wooden house, the uncle had already made the handmade noodles, the small painting burned the fire, boiled the water in the pot, the uncle put in the noodles, and then made the ingredients of the noodles, put them in a bowl, the noodles were cooked and picked into the bowl, stirred evenly and handed to the two.

Xiaohua took a bite and sighed: "There are still such delicious noodles in the world." Yuan Yuan took a big bite, "It's delicious, the simple ingredients are really delicious." ”

Xu Guochu explained: China's noodles originated in the Han Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty poet Du Fu praised a kind of cold noodles, and the teeth were cold in the snow. In the Song Dynasty, there were many types of noodles, such as three fresh noodles, boiled noodles, bamboo shoot noodles, etc. Yuan Mei's "Suiyuan Food List" in the Qing Dynasty recorded that noodles include eel noodles, somen noodles, eel noodles, etc.

When Qianlong went down to the south of the Yangtze River, he wanted to eat noodles, and the boatman said: "There are noodles but no rolling." The boatman's granddaughter said, "You can twist it by hand." So he twisted the noodles with his hands, twisted them out like cat's ears, cooked them, poured the marinade of fish and shrimp, and served them to Qianlong, and felt that the aftertaste was endless after eating. So I asked my granddaughter what kind of face it was, and she said that it was called Cat Ears. Xiaohua and Yuanyuan listened attentively, but they didn't expect that there were so many stories in a bowl of noodles.

Xu Guochu said: "Mushroom coolers, it's not early, there is no signal here, and you can't access the Internet." You two live in the North House, and the house is relatively simple, so you will just take a look! ”

Xiao Hua and Yuan Yuan cleaned up the table, returned to the north house, and said: "Uncle Xu is worthy of being a national chef, and every bowl of noodles is so delicious." "The important thing is that the ingredients are simple." ”

Xiao Hua said: "I don't know if Uncle Xu will agree to work with us tomorrow." Yuan Yuan said: "It seems that Uncle Xu's family has gone through some kind of change, causing him to live in seclusion here." ”
