Jixi's specialty snacks are Korean specialty foods. Its noodles are thin and tender, accompanied by sweet and sour cold noodle soup, which makes people memorable. I have the opportunity to invite Jixi people to taste them. Cold noodles are traditional Korean food. They are made of buckwheat noodles or wheat noodles (also corn noodles, sorghum rice noodles and elm bark noodles), starch and water, and then pressed into round noodles. Soak it in cold water after cooking, then remove the cold water with seasonings such as beef slices, peppers, pickles, pears or apples, soy sauce vinegar, sesame oil, etc., and add beef soup. In the past, Koreans had the tradition of eating cold noodles at noon on the fourth day of the first month, or on their birthdays. According to folklore, eating slender cold noodles on this day indicates longevity and longevity, so cold noodles are also called "longevity noodles".

In Jixi, there is a kind of diet that has been deeply loved by citizens for decades. Even when the "city flower" and "city emblem" are always difficult to produce, this diet has openly become a "street food". Even if it is cold outside, the cold noodle restaurant is full. It's Jixi cold noodles

A few decades ago, there was a special cold noodle shop in Jixi, and there was a famous one in the bustling business circle that year. People in Jixi call it "Jixi Cold Noodles". The restaurant changed its position after the times, but its name is still preserved. It is still famous. After evolution and innovation, Jixi cold noodles have broadened the choice of raw materials, integrated into the diet taste of the northeast people, and have a strong local flavor. For example, in Jixi, "cold noodles" refers to both "noodles" and "vegetables", which is the unified title of main and non-staple foods, that is, people often say that "eating cold noodles is inseparable from cold noodles", and the raw materials of cold noodles are limited to buckwheat noodles and wheat noodles.

North Korea's cold noodles are spicy and sweet. Jixi's cold noodles are mainly Yuxiankou and Suankou, and beef soup has also been replaced with soy sauce clear water soup, and some beef slices and fruit slices have been simply omitted. As for cold dishes, Koreans only have several kinds of spicy pickles (also called Beijing pickles), while Jixi cold dishes are mainly spicy, with more than 50 kinds. Common vegetables, meat and seafood can be eaten, and the basic taste is one: spicy. After these transformations, authentic Korean cold noodles are no longer favored by Jixi people. Jixi people who have been to North Korea, South Korea or Yanji, China, taste the local cold noodles, and always feel that they are not as "tasty" as Jixi's cold noodles. In the eyes of Jixi people, Jixi cold noodles have become "authentic goods". Of course, one thing about Jixi cold noodles is unchanged, that is, the processing technology must be eating and pressing now to keep the taste fresh, which is different from some big cities processing cold noodles like dried noodles.

Many Jixi people have this feeling, and they don't eat cold noodles for several months, which seems to have shortcomings. Summer used to be the peak season for eating cold noodles, and there were a large number of "cold noodle families" in winter. Especially after the Spring Festival, people who are tired of eating big fish and meat flock to cold noodle restaurants. If a friend invites you to eat cold noodles at this time, it is also quite intimate etiquette. Just be sure to get to the hotel early, because every cold noodle shop is full and business is booming. Jixi people who have left their hometown are also obsessed with Jixi's cold noodles. As soon as they get to Jixi, they immediately rush to the cold noodle restaurant. People who can't come back for a while will be sent by relatives and friends as long as there is an opportunity. When I went to Shenzhen one year, I remembered that there was a high school classmate there, so I made a phone call and asked if there was anything wrong with my hometown.

She said, great, before you come, my family will come to you for something. Sure enough, when I left, her family brought a big bag full of cold noodles. I smiled knowingly: this is Jixi people. My classmates also met me at Shenzhen airport. I am very clever. I borrowed spicy light, because the plane under this spicy weather needs to be put in the refrigerator urgently because of the long journey. Because of this, some cold noodle bosses in Jixi were inspired to "expand" their business, launch vacuum-packed cold noodle dishes or go out to open stores, and even open cold noodle shops to some big cities inside and outside the province. In Harbin, Beijing, Nanjing, Guangzhou and other places, there are cold noodles with Jixi signs, and some plaques actually say "Jixi Korean Cold Noodles", which makes people laugh. It seems that the cold noodles have also played the "Jixi card".
