When and what this snack started has never been verified, except that Hanzhong people can't live without it. Once you don't have it for a long time, you will miss it like a child without a mother. You always feel that something is missing in your life.

In recent years, whether on business trip, study or work, when we got off the train or bus, we all watched the noodle stand eagerly, rushed up, left our luggage behind, ate a bowl or two of noodles before coming out, and then said something else. It seems that with the enjoyment of breathing, all the troubles of going out and deep homesickness will disappear.

This kind of stall is generally small, and a facade is enough. There is a big stove at the door, with a cauldron burning boiling water on it, and towering steamer stands on the water layer by layer. Slowly lift a cage, then pour rice paste into a cage and steam it. There is also a stove next to it. There is a big pot of seasoning soup on the stove that has been cooked all night. There are many good things in it: chopped green onion, ginger rice, pepper, tsaoko, aniseed and other spices, as well as gastrodia elata and angelica sinensis.

Dough is actually made of rice, similar to rice noodles in the south. Because tenderness and strength are like good noodles, it is named. You can cut it as thin as noodles, or put it in a bowl and mix it with seasoning soup.

If you eat dough without pepper, you won't taste anything. Pay attention to the selection of fine peppers, finely ground into flour, add sesame seeds, and then pour hot oil, which makes people's appetite open from a distance. So you have to sit down. Who made your stomach so naughty? I just ate a bowl unconsciously, which is a bit like pig eight quit eating ginseng fruit. She only knows how delicious it is, how to eat it, but forgets the taste, so you have to have another bowl and savor it.

It's just that some people can't tell why after all. Not spicy, not sour, not numb. I just feel warm in my heart, comfortable in my stomach, fragrant in my mouth, oily but not greasy, refreshing and warm. It's best to drink another bowl of vegetable tofu, just like drinking coffee with your partner. After a while, your head and feet are steaming, and your face is like a peach blossom. No wonder the girls in Hanzhong usually look moist and gentle, but they are quite swallowing mountains and rivers when they eat their dough.

After eating, I put down two or three dollars, and the stall owner happily pushed a mount for you-your bike or motorcycle, and said hello: Walk slowly! Come again!

With the reform and opening up, this snack in southern Shaanxi has also been put on the streets of Beijing and food stalls in Shenzhen. It's just expensive. Forget it, the taste is not very authentic. In particular, I am not used to outsiders always calling dough cold noodles. Because I always think that eating cold dough is good, and eating hot dough is even more tasteless. Late at night in the middle of winter, the weather is cold, but the night market is crowded with people. Just to eat a bowl of steamed and hot dough. Especially the excellent midnight snack between couples, steaming, snuggling up to you, eating with emotion and tone, has made it prosperous and sweet, beautiful!

I thought snacks were snacks after all and could not be served. Who knows that once I accidentally saw dough at a friend's wedding banquet, it was surrounded by a circle of polished lean meat, covered with a large piece of lettuce leaves, surrounded by many cherries and lotus seeds, and all the color, smell and fragrance were occupied by it. The big plate was served in less than two minutes, and one person and two chopsticks were swept away.

So, but I always feel that dough is popular after all, it is better not to put on those noble and gorgeous coats.
