Yuanjiacun is a characteristic town full of ancient and heavy feeling, the culture here has a long history, full of the core elements of the ancient Qin culture of the Great Northwest, the specialty snacks here are famous all over the world, with a hint of anticipation and fondness, the following to share with you Yuanjiacun one-day tour travel strategy.

"A little fly up to the sky, the Yellow River bends at both ends; eight big open mouth, the word inward, left a twist, right a twist; west a long, east a long, in the middle of the addition of a horse big (dai) king; heart word bottom, the word side of the month, leave a hook hanging sugar; push the cart cart into Xianyang."

One word, one paragraph, one piece of love

The ballad above is the stroke order of one word, which is closely related to eating and connected to Xianyang.

When it comes to eating in Shaanxi, think of biangbiang noodles, and when it comes to noodles, think of Xianyang, this piece of ballad is about the word that can only be replaced by pinyin, and say that the word eating and noodles If the old Guanzhong culture in Xianyang, then Liquan Yuanjiacun is the paradise of the eaters.

The word "biáng" can't be written with typing software, it can only be handwritten, and it's said that the Kangxi Dictionary can find it out, which is awesome for my Qin ancestors, representing the depth of history and the origin of culture. Word is who made, has been unable to trace said, look at the word alone is a cultural enjoyment, the image will be.

The character structure not only summarizes the characteristics of this noodle, but also reflects the raw materials, seasonings, production process, hard work, and the feelings of diners. It also shows the Qin people's broad-minded, angular, bitter and happy character temperament, maps the geography of mountains and rivers and the world, and makes up the unique food culture of Shaanxi.

How delicious the noodles are, omit 10,000 words here, I'm afraid 10,000 words are not enough to explain its meaning and culture. Legend has it that the unification of the six countries of Qin Shi Huang ate this noodle, it will be regarded as the "imperial" noodle, nine or five emperors after the imperial, naturally can not allow civilians to eat at will, so the imperial complex font, so that the people can not write a say, a poem said: "cart Xianyang street turn, meet the officials of the old man Han, endowment! The king of the good imperial meal, the king knows to receive, served a bowl of biangbiang noodles".

Qin Shi Huang loved this noodle, and shouted, "Protect my Qin!" In order to inspire the people and call for the defense of the motherland, he wrote this character with his royal pen.

Eating, in Shaanxi is not just a basic condition of survival, but a culture with a long history. Shaanxi is a large agricultural province, fertile land, rich in produce, living in peace and security, since ancient times is the Feng Shui treasure of the family and business.

The comfortable and affluent state of life did not allow our ancestors to just enjoy life, but to add to it. Developed countless kinds of down-to-earth, grounded, smoky flavor, simple operation, easy to take snack food.

The other day I saw a set of statistics, Xi'an has been ranked second in all of Asia snacks, pattern flavor, enough to dazzle people, originally, eat there are so many origins and culture.

Guanzhong impression - Yuanjiacun is a Shaanxi snacks concentrated in the convergence, no you can't eat, only you can't think of, can't see a variety of food, today, go up, two under the Xianyang - Liquan Yuanjiacun, open eat, drink, play, wave.

Said the ancient Xianyang, said the present Xianyang. The first thing you need to do is to get a good deal of money to pay for the services of the company. Every time I sped across the Weihe River Bridge, I thought, "The opposite side of the bridge is Xianyang. When you go to the airport, when the plane lifted off, looking at the foot of the place where the lights are off, the heart also remembered that it is Xianyang.

Having never been to Xianyang makes me miss it, and Yuanjia Village has only been here twice. The first time is the nephew-in-law Nizi baby after the wedding, the family together to pull together, I heard that grandpa, big aunt, two aunts have not been to Yuanjia Village, a mouth opened into a round

, shocked jaw dropped half a dozen times, like you say you are Shaanxi people, but have not eaten the biangbiang noodle feeling. Baby Neko then decided we had to make a trip there because it was her hometown and village.

The New Year's Day sixteen, in the baby's hospitality, the whole family started camping, twenty people, men and women, young and old, hugely walked up the Xianyang Yuanjia Village. Just arrived at the baby's home on the smell of a hot and sour aroma, the kitchen is steaming, a few people in the busy work. It turned out that the elder brother and sister-in-law gave us to do the authentic Li Quan Shame_lo, a bowl of shame braised world, meat and vegetables, soup and vegetables, fried fire delicious, taste their own can also feel free to modulate add.

Two bowls under the belly, the body of the cold swept away, thanks to the blessing of the baby Nizi, this is the first time in Xianyang boundaries to eat local traditional food.

Sour and spicy tendons of the _ Luo noodles

The second time is Niebao school exams double break, Saturday is the ancient meeting, Sunday was planning to go to the Qinling Mountain climbing, worried about the cold is too heavy, the old man's legs and feet are not convenient, it is proposed to go to Yuanjiacun turn around. Nowadays, the highway goes straight to any place, go to Xianyang and go to relatives, an hour or so to, much less like the past cart cart prepared dry food.

The last time I came to New Year's Eve, a lot of people lively, did not look carefully, the first impression is the pattern is very much like the ancient city of Lijiang, feet to the wide depth of the water from the entrance of each house source long, a variety of food snacks to see me dazzled, and can not wait to eat a bite of each kind of a taste. This time I didn't give the baby said, otherwise the hospitality of the in-laws and no peace, last time it was the peak season, but took a vacation, accompanied us and tour guides as much as an explanation of the introduction, and then arranged a table of sumptuous snacks, the end of the end of the yogurt to the band, twisted flowers, polygonum sugar, oil spinning cake. This time it is really too much to bother, just straight to come, mainly because my mother-in-law did not come, want to accompany her old man to see the old Guanzhong Folk House, experience the memory of Guanzhong mold.

This is a village with these four gates, the place is not big, typical Guanzhong Minjian, the merchants in the village are authentic locals, also rendered a strong Guanzhong folk folk style. South of the village a neat inn clean, bright, cozy, but also about the unique courtyard, high gatehouse, both sides of the building, (Shaanxi rain less, the house is called only half of the building building) in the middle of the patio, (the patio in the middle of the yard, all the rain into the yard of the water cellar, fertilizer flow outsiders field) behind the Anmai big room.

These buildings have both modern and ancient styles. The general facade is an antique building, brick and wood construction, carved beams and painted buildings, very grand. When you go in and look around, the inside is a combination of ancient and modern, and is well-equipped. Each house is numbered to make it easy for guests to find, and all of them have a farmhouse with clear windows and lingering kitchen aroma.

As soon as she entered the street, her mother-in-law was attracted to the handmade cotton shoes and cloth shoes.

Pick up this pair of detailed examination, can not afford to put down, and picked up the pair of left and right to see, looking at the stitching handmade whether the end of the fine, and then look at the style of novelty and beautiful, asked the stall of the aunt, I heard that the 20 yuan a pair of small child shoes, immediately said, not expensive, not expensive, the young people will not do, I do not know the people doing this handmade work, this handmade work is how hard and difficult field (difficult). I asked: Mom, you see this Yuanjiacun how good it is? She smiled and said, "Yes! I came here to see these original images of farm life, as if she had a sense of time and space, as if back to their youth, the nineteen fifties and sixties in the prime of life.

Stirred dough: as a Northwest specialties, defined as "mixed noodles stirred into the paste" in this Guanzhong folklore experience of Yuanjiacun have to say. In the 60's and 70's, it was a life-saving meal for farmers. There are two ways to eat it, one is water siege, one is slipping fish, including cornmeal churning, taro patties, mixed noodle churning, wheat flour and buckwheat can be done, the paste is sour, vinegar water thin Wang. In the Northwest there is a saying: who married the daughter-in-law of the virtuous or not, is to see her play the churn light or not light or _ Road not _ Road. This also do not need to say in detail, come to you to eat a bowl will understand.

They are all handmade and can be viewed at will, and there are no additives that are not good for one's health. Hemp leaves are also a good thing to eat in Guanzhong in the past, only on New Year's Day and festivals. Although the New Year's Day themselves have to fry a bag, see here, or a different kind of affection.

The deep-fried noodle cake

The handmade noodles in the rural areas of Guanzhong region are also one of the best noodle dishes.
