Located on the west bank of the lower reaches of Xijiang River, the Waihai Sub-district Office in Jianghai District of Jiangmen City belongs to the sedimentary plain of the Pearl River Delta, with criss-crossing river networks, dotted fish ponds and fertile soil, and is known as the land of plenty.
1993 was listed in the famous town records of China.
The craft of offshore waters has a history of at least 65,438+000 years, and the offshore city of Wonton Noodles enjoys a long reputation.
Wonton is another name for "Wonton" by offshore people. Wonton and noodles are cooked together, which is what people call wonton noodles.
As early as 1930s and 1940s, the production and sales of offshore waters were very prosperous, and the most famous producers were Ji Ze, Donghua, Fatty Chicken and Chinese Chicken.
At that time, when the mobile noodle vendors crossed the streets, they knocked on two bamboo boards, making a "wussy" sound, which attracted the attention of the neighbors.
In the 1930s and 1940s, noodle shops with "front shop and back factory" appeared in the market, and some food stalls selling offshore were all produced and sold by themselves, with authentic flavor.
At that time, many offshore people liked to eat offshore, and some even had to eat a bowl of offshore every night to sleep well.
Nowadays, with the change of people's living habits, the open sea has begun to appear in a diversified image.
Although there is no street selling style, people can still eat some freshly made offshore water in some old shops. In addition, some shops have boxed offshore waters for sale, and even some supermarkets can see the offshore waters.
In addition, the outer sea surface is also regarded as a local specialty food as a gift.
With the great wealth of materials, the popularity of the open sea today is far less than before. Not many people leave Jiangmen to know this special food, and even the younger generation who are born and raised don't know much about the open sea.
At present, overseas people have opened more than 20 noodle shops in Jiangmen, among which Li Ji, Mingxian, Yuanyuan and Jeffery Ji are the larger ones, and their chain stores also have 2 to 5 branches each.
