Daoxiao Noodles-Daoxiao Noodles is the most representative noodle in Shanxi, ranking first in the world, with a history of hundreds of years. According to legend, after Mongolian Tatar invaded the Central Plains, the Yuan Dynasty was established. In order to prevent the "Han people" from rebelling and revolting, all the metals in each household were confiscated, and ten households were required to use a kitchen knife, which was used in turn to cut vegetables and cook, and then returned to the Tatars for safekeeping. One day at noon, an old woman made a stick and sorghum flour into dough and let the old man take the knife. As a result, the knife was taken away by others, so the old man had to return it. When he left the Tatar gate, his foot was touched by a thin piece of iron, and he picked it up and put it in his arms. After returning home, the pot kept ringing, and the family waited for Daoxiao Noodles. But the knife didn't come back, and the old man was so anxious that he suddenly remembered the iron sheet in his arms. He took it out and said, use this iron sheet to cut the plane! When my wife saw that the iron sheet was thin and soft, she muttered, how can such a soft thing cut noodles? The old man said angrily, "cut" and "cut" don't move. The word "chop" reminds my wife that she put the dough on the board, picked it up in her left hand and held the iron piece in her right hand, and stood by the boiling pot to "chop" the noodles. One piece fell into the pot, cooked, fished out and put in a bowl, and poured with marinade, so that the old people could eat first. The old man ate and said, "Very good, very good. I don't have to take a kitchen knife to cut the plane. " In this way, one spread to ten, ten spread to hundreds, and spread all over Jinzhong. Up to now, in Pingyao, Jiexiu, Fenyang, Xiaoyi and other counties in Jinzhong, men and women will cut noodles.
