Beiwudu Town is located in the south bank of Shahe River, 25 kilometers north of Wuyang County, Luohe City. It was called Dingling in ancient times and has a long history of more than 2,000 years. According to historical records, in the Ming and Qing dynasties, the commercial economy here reached its peak, and merchants from Shanxi and Shaanxi gathered here, with Rushui (Shahe) in the town, Ruluo in the west, Jianghuai in the east, Jingchu in the south, Zhengbian in the north, and miscellaneous commercial goods in the south of the Yangtze River, and the coastal reed salt aquatic products were swallowed up and transferred. There have been praises such as "Northern Dance Crossing the Day to Earn Gold", "Nine Doors and Nine Closes to Small Beijing", "Endless Shops (Sheqi County) and Unsatisfied Northern Dance Crossing", which was an important commercial distribution center in central Henan at that time. Due to historical accumulation, there are many famous snacks in Beiwudu, such as Hu spicy soup, paper buns, canned plain dumplings, mutton steamed dumplings, fried cakes and glutinous rice dumplings, among which Hu spicy soup is one of the most famous snacks in Beiwudu.

Beiwudu's stewed meat and spicy soup is delicious, spicy and delicious, and has an endless aftertaste. It is made of more than 30 Chinese herbal medicines plus stewed meat, pepper, pepper, pepper and star anise. Judging from the color of the soup, the Hu spicy soup in Beiwudu is dignified; In terms of taste, because more pepper is used, it is full of spicy taste. Another elegant name for chili soup is Bazhen soup, which is naturally exaggerated, but it also shows that chili soup has a lot of "content". The most common products are gluten, kelp, vermicelli, thousand pieces of silk, peanuts, coriander, Jiang Mo, pickled mustard tuber and pepper. According to the different festivals and regions, there will also be beef (sheep) meat, soybeans, fungus, day lily, spinach, radish strips, chopped green onion and so on. The method is very complicated. First, mix the flour with light salt water, knead it into dough, and then constantly add water to "wash" the gluten. After the water is boiled, the gluten is tender. When the gluten is cooked, pour the water for washing the gluten, that is, the thin starch paste, into the pot, simmer until the soup is thick, then add other ingredients and bring to a boil. After Hu spicy soup is put into a bowl, add mustard tuber, sesame oil, balsamic vinegar, etc., and it tastes sticky and delicious. Spicy is its main feature, but that kind of spicy is not as spicy as eating Chongqing hot pot, but spicy in the mouth and beautiful in the heart. Sour is next. Generally, vinegar should be added to drink this soup, which is spicy and sour, and spicy in acid. Coupled with the comprehensive reaction of various raw materials, it is fragrant, smooth, moist and chewy after swallowing, which is very satisfying. There is another way to eat chili paste soup. Half a bowl of chili paste soup and half a bowl of bean curd are mixed together, which is called "two mixed children". People who sell sticky soup often sell tofu brains by accident. Stir it a little with a small spoon, and the delicacy, lightness and bitterness of bean curd will be stimulated alternately with the viscosity, sour and spicy taste of sticky soup, which will add more flavor. Especially in the early morning of winter, when a bowl of sticky soup is eaten, thin sweat will seep from my forehead, and my body will be warm and my appetite will be opened.

Although Beiwudu hot soup has been enduring for hundreds of years, compared with Xiaoyaozhen hot soup, how to further develop Beiwudu hot soup is a problem worthy of people's deep thinking. Shan Baomin, the person in charge of Shanjia Hu Spicy Soup in Longyuanzhai, Wuyang County, has a more positive view: First, the local government should take the opportunity of China Food Festival to make great efforts to guide the market development, increase the packaging and publicity of Beiwudu Hu Spicy Soup, and promote industrial upgrading. We can learn from the industrial expansion of Taiwan Province Yonghe Soymilk and kaifeng soup dumplings Zi. Second, it is necessary to organize some relevant technicians to excavate and integrate Beiwudu Hula Soup, so as to foster strengths and avoid weaknesses, and let it continue to develop on the basis of traditional famous snacks.
