Salty noodle soup can be divided into oil noodles and alkali noodles. The oil noodles are hot noodles, mixed with oil and cooled, and eaten. The alkali noodles are hot noodles.

Salty noodle soup should start from the night before. Knead the flour repeatedly with proper amount of alkaline water, tear it into wide or narrow noodles, cook it, take it out, cool it thoroughly, mix it with cooked vegetable oil and store it in a plate. The next morning, boil the soup with noodles, add the mixed powder made of more than ten kinds of raw materials such as salt, fennel, anise, pepper, clove and longan, and add tofu slices and crushed tofu pieces. Soak a bowl of noodles that are white and yellow for several times with the prepared soup, heat the noodles thoroughly, pour the original soup, add ginger powder, raw onion (leek) flowers and oily spicy seeds, and the salty noodle soup is ready. Pay attention to tofu and sheep blood clots as ingredients. There are many stores in Yaozhou city, but the delicious ones are very prosperous.

Compared with Qishan whistle noodle, which is famous for Sanqin, salty noodle soup is much less well-known and only popular in the local area. It did not hit Tongchuan and went to Sanqin. I think the main reasons for this are as follows: First, salty noodle soup is salty as its name implies. Compared with the acidity of Qishan noodles, salty noodles are more difficult for outsiders to accept, and too salty is not good for health; Second, Qishan noodles should be added with meat whistle, which naturally has high value and high added value, and is appreciated for elegance and vulgarity, while salty noodle soup is pure vegetarian noodles with low added value, which is difficult to popularize in a large area, and is a typical civilian food; Third, Qishan noodles are rolled, which is suitable for large-scale processing, while salty noodle soup is pulled. If you eat it now, you will naturally be too busy.

Salty noodle soup is more expensive than soup. Famous people cook more than ten kinds of seasonings, such as clove, star anise, cinnamon, longan, ginger, fragrant leaves, small incense and angelica, and then mix them with noodle soup. Put a handful of yellow noodles in an old bowl, pour it into hot soup, then pour it out, pour it into the soup repeatedly, and add some chopped green onion, leek segments and oil-sprinkled peppers. It's delicious beyond words. The noodle soup has the effects of soothing liver and regulating qi, warming kidney and strengthening yang, invigorating spleen and regulating stomach, enriching blood and removing blood stasis.

When Jia Pingwa wrote a novel in Taoqupo Reservoir in the north of Yaoxian County, he ate it once and became addicted.
