Among the many patterns of Guanzhong noodles, the most amazing thing for outsiders is that one noodle can fill a large bowl of sea. The sight, momentum, and weight all amazed people who met for the first time.
People in Guanzhong eat a lot of noodles and bowls, which is also caused by the natural environment. People in China have always been poor. There is an old saying in Guanzhong that "there is surplus food at home, and everything is not panic". Farmers just want to get more food through hard work, but they have been very diligent and their output is very low. In order to eat enough, farmers grow food on all the land, and there is very little land dedicated to growing vegetables. In the past, half a bed of vegetables was opened in every yard in Guanzhong, and the varieties were only vegetables such as green vegetables, onions, garlic sprouts, leeks, radishes and cabbages. When the noodles were put into the pot, I went to the vegetable field to pull out a few nests of vegetables and leeks and wash them into noodles. I made a big pot of noodle soup and nothing else. When eating noodles, pull out a few onions and garlic sprouts, chop them up and stir-fry them in a long iron spoon. When eating, everyone will take a chopstick as a dish. Besides "sitting at the table" (table meal), people usually only eat this simple pasta.
Farmers in Guanzhong grow grain on the yellow land, which is hard and consumes a lot. In order to save food, they only eat two meals a day. The tradition in Guanzhong is that men work in the fields and don't do housework when they come back. The man came home from work, put down his farm tools, served tea and cigarettes, went to the "men's club" in the village to relax, lost the party and played chess. When the meal at home is ready, the children's daughter-in-law will eat it, and after eating it, she will guess if it is enough. Take the food home by the way. Eat less oil and water and you will eat more. If you always want to have a full meal at a time, this bowl of rice will grow bigger and bigger and eventually become a spectacular sea bowl. The noodles in the bowl should naturally be rolled thick and cut wide, and the vinegar in the pepper should be sour. Eating a bowl can make you hungry all day. However, no matter how big the bowl is, its shape will not change. Some people say that it is strange that Guanzhong bowls and basins cannot be separated. I gave him a friend's mantra: this man is lame (blind)!
The famous biangbiang noodles in Shaanxi can be found in Kangxi dictionary. There are 56 ancient words, and the nursery rhymes specially compiled for it have been sung for two thousand years. There is a local saying in Guanzhong: "Knock the obedient daughter-in-law's face off." Guanzhong's diligent daughter-in-law always promises (with great efforts) to knead the noodles well, and when she gets home, the rolled noodles are thick, soft and chewy.
A noodle is two inches wide and three feet long, which is full of a big bowl. After eating it, you will be filled with incomparable pride. You can definitely go to Beishan to kill wolves first, and then go to Nanshan to catch monkeys. I won't feel hungry even if I go to dark all day.
