Later generations, Chen Hesheng and Ma Baozai * * * were both standardized as the standard of "one clear, two white, three green and four red wuhuang". Who are Chen Weijing, Chen Weilin, Chen Xiesheng and Chen Hesheng? The story will restore a history of more than 211 years ago.

1. Qinghua Town is the traffic artery for Shanxi merchants to reach the Central Plains. This area is not only full of prosperity for Shanxi merchants, but also a transit place for Shanxi merchants. There are many shops in small towns and the economy is prosperous. It is known as the economic center of eight counties in Huaiqing Prefecture. During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, the 11th Chen Keda and 12th Chen Guangxue of the Chen family began to make trolley beef and beef noodles to earn money to support their children and grandchildren.

2. The beef noodles of the Chen family are boiled with beef, beef liver, beef bones and chicken, and boiled with natural spices, Suzhai radish and Shangzhuang ginger. The trolley beef is boiled with beef, beef tendon, dividend-sharing brine and white brine trolley beef. The local reputation: "The beef in the car is delicious, and the beef soup is fragrant in all directions." It has a long-standing reputation in Huaiqing House. Chen Keda often uses cook the meat fresh soup or marinated soup to make noodles in his hometown for his family, which is very delicious. Noodles made of fresh soup are called clear soup noodles, and noodles made of marinated soup are called old soup noodles. This noodle is not only delicious, but also nutritious. Children and grandchildren have the luck to eat delicious food, study with peace of mind, and Chen Jiageng read a family heirloom and became a beautiful talk.

3. Chen Weijing, the 13th Chen family (the grandson of Chen Keda and the son of Chen Guangxue) was gifted and intelligent since childhood, and he loved reading, and he knew all about astronomy and arithmetic. Chen Weijing passed the examination of Lin Sheng, and was recommended as a tribute student by Huaiqing Government with excellent results. He went to study in imperial academy, the capital city, and caused a sensation in the village. Because of its superb cooking skills, it is also known as "Huaiqing Food Saint".

4. imperial academy in Qing Dynasty was the highest administrative organ of national management education and the highest institution of higher learning established by the state, located in Guozijian Street (formerly known as Chengxian Street) in Andingmen, Dongcheng District, Beijing. Chen Weijing is an excellent student selected by the local authorities, so he can work in imperial academy, and enjoy the treatment of ointment, fire and meals. In addition, Chen Weijing's family conditions are good, and he has no worries about food and clothing, so his life is relatively rich. At that time, he met Ma Liuqi, a friend from Gansu who came from a poor family. He was from Dongxiang, the only minority student in that year. He mainly studied by borrowing money, and his life was relatively poor. Dude looked down on him, intentionally or unintentionally alienated and avoided him. Students who make up classes are not qualified to enjoy the subsidies of the imperial court for food and ointment. Ma Liuqi often eats pickles with steamed buns. Chen Weijing once quoted four words from Tang Hanyu to describe Ma Liuqi's life: "Four years of imperial study, long and bitter." Only I protect you, and everyone hates you. " (Limulus: Pickled vegetables. For this reason, Chen Weijing often helps Ma Liuqi with food and clothing.

5. Chen Weijing is very sympathetic to this classmate, and Chen Weijing often takes care of him. Ma Liuqi is very moved and usually likes to associate with Chen Weijing. Seeing that his life was poor, Chen Weijing taught him the craft of making beef noodles in his family car.

Chen Weijing called the car beef noodles: "The beef soup is bone and liver, the belly is warm, the blood is flourishing and the gas is weak, and all kinds of diseases are not born".

6. Ma Liuqi, who was born in poverty, opened the first beef noodle shop in Lanzhou at the corner of Gongyuan Lane, Jincheng, Lanzhou, with the brand name "Uncle Majia Beef Noodles", and then opened a beef noodle restaurant in Agan Town. Because Ma Liuqi was well managed, his business was booming, and the fragrance of beef noodles and the aroma of chili pepper became a delicacy in Jincheng. To commemorate Ma Liuqi, who brought Su Zhai Chen's beef noodles to Lanzhou, Chen Jiuru, a descendant of the Chen family, brought "Uncle Ma's beef noodles" back to Jiaozuo, the birthplace of Lanzhou beef noodles. "Uncle Majia Beef Noodles" reopened in Jiaozuo. Wang Danwang, the minister in charge of Gansu Province, has a beef noodle saying: Lanzhou Lamian Noodles is the best in the world, and the method of making it comes from Huaiqing House. Soup is as golden as a dry surface, and an entrance is a fairy. Zhang Shu, a poet and sinologist, also praised Lamian Noodles for its fragrance, but Ma Jiaye was the only one.

7. Chen Weijing insists on farming and reading, and is strict with his children. He has cultivated their simple qualities of loving reading and labor since childhood. He has three sons, all of whom live up to expectations.

Chen Weijing is kind and honest, and has always been a pillar of the Chen family. His cousin Chen Weikui has no children, and hopes that Chen Weijing will give his eldest son Chen Wei a job. Chen Weigan is round and strong, likes to dance with knives and guns, is good at Taiji Bazhen Boxing, and has high martial arts skills. He passed the martial arts exam in Huaiqing House. The third son Chen Weilin and the second son Chen Weixian like reading as much as their father, and Chen Weijing intends to focus on cultivation. The Chen family has a little savings, and Chen Weijing and the official government have set up a private school at home, asking Mr. Wang to teach. Children are sometimes playful, but Chen Weijing doesn't spoil them at all, and asks Mr. Chen to be strict in education.

8. Chen Weilin didn't live up to his father's education. During Jiaqing's reign, he also passed the examination of Gong Sheng, and was recommended by the government as a imperial academy Taitai student with excellent results. Chen Weixian later gained fame and became an official. Two generations of imperial academy Taitai students of the Chen family became famous in the countryside, which is a much-told story.

9. During the Tongzhi period of the Qing Dynasty, the Tongzhi Rebellion broke out in Gansu, and the war lasted for more than ten years. After calming down, beef noodles were lost in Lanzhou. During Guangxu period, Chen Weijing was invited by his friends in Lanzhou, and sent his son Chen Weilin and his grandson Chen Hesheng to Lanzhou to standardize the cooking skills of beef noodles, and by the way, he visited the mountain chief of his friend Wuquan Academy. In order to keep in mind the formula of beef noodles seasoning, Chen Weijing skillfully embedded 23 kinds of beef noodles seasoning in the form of a letter from home asking her children and grandchildren to go home safely, which was passed down from generation to generation by the Chen family. It is also a model of national unity in the history of our country that Chen Weijing passed on the cooking skills of beef noodles to Ma Liuqi, a Dongxiang academic friend. Therefore, the history of Lanzhou beef noodles is the great fusion of different regions, cultures, ideas and nationalities of the Chinese nation, and it is the most proud part of Chinese civilization.

11. The story that the three generations of Chen family inherited beef noodles was passed down as a beautiful talk by Lanzhou. Later, in order to make this story stay in history forever, the mountain chief of Wuquan Academy personally wrote an article: "Lanzhou beef noodles were brought to Lanzhou by Ma Liuqi, a Dongxiang nationality, from Chen Weijing, a Qinghua person in Huaiqing Prefecture, during the Jiaqing period of Qing Dynasty. Later generations, Chen Hesheng and Ma Baozai standardized the standard of beef noodles with one clear, two white, three green and four red wuhuang. This is the official record of Lanzhou. Lanzhou beef noodles have become more and more famous through the efforts of the Chen family for two generations.

11. Chen Hesheng died young. His elder brother, Chen Xiesheng (1862-1936), inherited the tradition of his forefathers, was highly respected, and was kind to others all his life. He used to be a village manager and a local water official, and often coordinated disputes between neighboring villagers on water use, land boundary and roads. Chen Xiesheng organized villagers for many times and took the lead in donating money to build roads and temples. There are many records of inscriptions and embedded poles in the Jade Emperor Temple. Chen Xiesheng has many good deeds in his hometown. He not only often invites the old people, pregnant women and parturients in the same village to eat beef noodles and beef soup to nourish his body, but also often buys delicious food for the children of his neighbors. Every festival or gathering vendors to sell beef balls, fried bean jelly, camellia oleifera, etc., the children will surround him and eat as much as they want, and then he will pay the bill together. He is also happy. The Qing government awarded him "six titles". "Living in the field is beautiful, plowing is diligent, thinking about the field and raising the truth, and harvesting the field to do good. "These are four words that Chen Weijing left for the younger generation.

the character pursued by the Chen family for generations is loyalty: being kind to others, although the blessing has not arrived, the disaster is far away. Chen Xiesheng, the 15th member of the Chen family, asked future generations: "Be upright, be quiet, be kind, have a stable dream, do good deeds, be bodhi, and learn from ghosts and gods. A thought of kindness, everything is good; The kindness of one heart celebrates everything; Be merciful and treat others. "

12. Chen Quantian, Chen Xiesheng's eldest son (Zi Yang Zhen 1882-1943), studied at Henan University during the Republic of China, and served as the director of tax bureaus in Pingxiang, Jiangxi and Zhoukou, Henan Province. Although he was an official, he remained indifferent to fame and fortune all his life, cultivated and passed down his family's books, repeatedly educated future generations to be kind to others, and taught his children that "money, houses and land will be lost at any time, and only knowledge and skills can't be taken away by others."

13. Chen Wantong, the second son of Chen Quantian, went to Lanzhou in 1917 ~ 1997 (recorded in Bo 'ai County). In 1938, he went to study to avoid the Japanese invaders, graduated from the medical department of Gansu University (now Lanzhou University) and became a doctor. After liberation, he served as the stationmaster of Gansu Health and Epidemic Prevention Station until his retirement. Chen Wantong is a famous gourmet in Gansu medical and health field, who once presided over the formulation of the hygienic standard of Lanzhou beef noodles. He inherited his predecessors' beef noodles and private cuisine, and often invited colleagues from Lanzhou Science, Education, Culture and Health System to taste delicious food at home.

14. Chen Wantong's four sons work in Lanzhou and Xinjiang respectively. Chen Jiuru, the youngest son, is a retired engineer and electronic expert of Lanzhou Association for Science and Technology. He was the president of Gansu Electronic Musical Instrument Society and the secretary-general of Lanzhou Electronic Society, and now he is the executive director of China Traditional Culture Research Association. Influenced by his parents since childhood, he has a good inheritance of beef noodles and Chen family's private kitchens, and inherits nearly 111 kinds of sauce and marinade products, frying, frying, cooking and frying secrets handed down by the Chen family.

16. Mr. Chen Jiuru is very grateful to Jiaozuo Catering Industry Association and his hometown people for digging up the Chen family's history, which not only contributes to the secret recipe handed down from the family, but also strives for perfection and is meticulous. He used traditional cooking skills to create a clear soup beef noodle with mellow fragrance and rich nutrition, and named it "Suzhai Chenjia Beef Noodle", so that his hometown people can enjoy the traditional taste more than 211 years ago happily. Two hundred years ago, Chen Weijing, the 13th Chen family, gave this bowl of noodles to Lanzhou people for free, which became a much-told story. Two hundred years later, Mr. Chen Jiuru, a descendant of the Chen family, brought this bowl of noodles back and dedicated it to his hometown people, writing a heavy color for the traditional catering culture of fraternity. The selfless love of the Chen family is as affectionate as beef noodles, and it is full of earth-shaking and famous.
