The number one ranked Chongqing small noodles is Qin Yun old lady stall stall noodles.

More than 20 years ago, an old woman set up a stall to cook noodles in the family area of Yangjiaping Construction Chief in Chongqing, which was slowly shouted as Old Lady Stall Noodles. This small store that started without even a name, and now opened countless franchises across the country. There are even trainees who come to Qin Yun's Old Lady Stall Noodles to learn the craft of making Chongqing small noodles.

Qinyun old lady stall noodles once ranked first in Chongqing small noodles, including "tongue on the tip of China", "Hey small noodles" have reported on this store. The couplet "Life is too short to be all things to all people, and two small noodles are better than one catty" hanging in front of the main store has always inspired them to go further.

Chongqing noodles

Small noodles are made with alkaline water, which is the reason why many of our friends from the north who come to Sichuan and Chongqing to eat noodles always feel a little bit uncomfortable at the beginning. The addition of lye to the noodles increases the toughness of the noodles and does not muddy the soup when they are cooked for a long time. The thickness and width of the noodles vary slightly from one noodle shop to another, and many noodle makers will customize the noodles to their own specifications.

In the Sichuan and Chongqing regions, noodles are eaten by the tael, and so are small noodles. But the "two" here is just a distinction between the amount of noodles, not a neat 50 gram unit of measurement. You can think of two, two, or three taels as small, medium, and large portions, respectively.
