Speaking of Hanzhong noodles, there is a folk legend. In the Three Kingdoms, Cao Cao led an attack on Shu Han, marching into Hanzhong during the rainy season. One day passed by the Han River, suddenly the river soared, and even the collection of a boat full of rice soaked, Cao Cao heard that this is the boatmen scolding, coincided with a peasant woman passing by, they will be to Cao pleaded for mercy, to save the boatmen.

Noodle skin has been passed down in the folklore, this local flavor food and ancient legends together, no wonder Hanzhong people so much like noodle skin it. Noodles can be used as a staple food, but also as a dish, is one of the favorite foods of Hanzhong people. Whether in the city or in the countryside, no matter how cold it is, or how hot it is, the noodle skin has almost become an indispensable delicacy for people. After the eighties, the operation of noodle snacks all over the streets and alleys, roadside village, especially in the morning and evening on both sides of the street, simply become a "noodle world". "Noodle skin" of the shouting and shouting, a more than one, singing opera, hooked pedestrians to stop, all the noodle store patrons, almost full. "Eaters" either sitting or squatting, cozy and at will, openly chewing, and drinking, the formation is spectacular. The most interesting thing is to eat noodles for some pretty men and women, especially women, they walked into the noodle store, the mouth does not leave a red circle, forehead does not hang some strings of beads of sweat is not willing to put down the bowl. In the past, this "lower bar" of the noodles can not reach the hall of elegance, now in the luxury hotel banquets, the noodles have become a fresh flavor of the diners called good. "Go, eat a bowl of noodles to go." Almost become the Hanzhong people's "mantra". Every morning, wage earners at work, out of work farmers, are crowded into the noodle store, to a bowl of noodles, a bowl of rice, spend less than two dollars, both affordable, but also rhyme, has become a lot of people's breakfast alternative. Housewives boil a pot of porridge, buy a few pounds of noodles, that is, a family meal. Even the author's three-year-old son saw the rice non-yelling eat noodles can not be, noodles actually cultivate a new generation of "love family". Hanzhong outsiders, the most evocative of the lingering flavor than the noodles. One of my friends in Xi'an, every time I come to Hanzhong, especially like to eat noodles, three meals a day, not noodles do not eat, over the lack of "noodles addiction" is not to return to the provincial capital. The first sentence of the letter is: "and want to eat your Hanzhong noodles, spicy, sour, fragrant, flavorful!
Crust is based on rice as raw material, after soaking, ground into rice paste, add water to dilute the appropriate, on the special cage steamed, to be cooled and cut into thin strips, with white, thin, light, tender, fine, soft, tough, fragrant and other characteristics, and then supplemented with bean sprouts, spinach, caraway, deployed into sesame paste, chili sauce, garlic juice, ginger juice, mustard, five spices, fine salt and other condiments.

There are fried, braised and other eating methods. It has long been a favorite, unique flavor of local snacks.
Crust, is called Hanzhong people. Outside people generally called rice noodles, also called cold skin. Now, the more common name is Hanzhong noodles skin. Noodle skin production process is traditional and troublesome, first of all, the rice amalgamated with water to soak well, and then grind into pulp with a stone mill, and then a sheet of steamed out with condiments to eat. Said trouble, first of all, soak the rice is not good steam can not be good crust, for those housewives, can not grasp this degree is a measure of its level of standards. Then there is the grinding, pushing the stone mill requires strength, scooping rice requires patience, pushing and scooping require considerable skill and close cooperation. In particular, the amount of rice to be scooped and the amount of water to be brought in are very delicate, and the thinness and thickness of the rice-flour batter determines the thickness and toughness of the dough. And nowadays, the technology of polishing rice by machine has been used, which can be quite exquisite.
Hanzhong people have a great love for noodles, from the dignitaries to the common people all good, it seems that the noodles are the most addictive food under the sky. Each authentic Hanzhong people, breakfast generally eat noodles, and then a bowl of vegetables and tofu rice, but the price of 2 yuan, so that people eat the heart of the beautiful stomach beautiful. I remember when I went to school and worked abroad, every time I was sick and homesick, I went out of my way to look for our Hanzhong noodles. Even if you are sick and have no appetite, as soon as you see the noodles, it's not a good idea! By the way, our Hanzhong noodles are generally divided into hot noodles and cold noodles. Oh, in fact, are the same process, but the hot crust is out of the cage can be enjoyed, the flavor is tender. And cold noodles, it is the hot noodles cooled only, the flavor, smooth, strong. As for how to choose, it is completely out of their own requirements!
I'm a native of Hanzhong, Shaanxi Province, and my love of noodles is irreplaceable. Early in the morning, the big stalls of the noodle skin that is a joyful tolerance, at noon, no matter which street of any one noodle skin store is still eaten by a large number of people. In the evening, that's not to mention, a variety of fancy snack stalls in front of the business is still not more than an authentic noodle business is booming. I have no other hobbies to eat, if you come across a good taste of the noodle store, and the chili is also a lot of flavorful, that kind of slander needless to say, must be a deep breath to expand their stomach capacity, filled with a full and then said. The first thing I want to do is to make sure that I have a good taste of the food, and the chili peppers are very good!
A near year-end, whether it is a business trip, study, or working back home, a train, car, Baba looked at the noodle stalls, can not wait to rush up, casually put the baggage a put down, the first to eat one or two bowls of noodle only out of the cage, and then say something else. As if with the enjoyment of the mouth and tongue, all the troubles of going out in the world as well as the strong feeling of homesickness will also be dissipated. Noodle skin, which is the Hanzhong of the loud snacks, the world is called "Hanzhong cold skin", but most people in Hanzhong to eat is "hot skin", hot noodle skin white and soft, smooth taste, similar to the girl here qualities. Hot noodle skin is made of soaked rice, ground pulp and steamed in a cage. Hot noodle skin guillotine cut across the pot, soybean sprouts in a bowl, and then seasoned with chili, garlic, ginger and five-spice soup is ready. Hanzhong noodles to enhance the flavor of the key is "play a hot pepper", this oil splash chili pepper are generally stall owners own concoction, family has a secret recipe, who has a hot pepper incense, eat more people, but also rumors will spread, people will say that so and so stalls of the noodle skin hot pepper tuned to "dichlorvos", "big smoke shell shells shells shells shells shells shells shells shells shells shells shells shells shells shells shells shells shells shells shells shells shells shells shells shells shells shells shells There are also rumors that the spices are mixed with "dichlorvos", "big tobacco shells" and "doll's urine". Eat Hanzhong noodles generally want to "set meal" a bowl of vegetables and tofu rice, vegetables and tofu rice boiling method is: fresh soybean milk boiling, with a shallow spoon along the side of the pot dripping into the pickled vegetables water water, to be tofu brains flooded with a round pile of tofu to seal the pot can be. When scooping, half a bowl of soup floating a piece of tender tofu, both refreshing and nutritious. As for the Guanzhong noodles, is to Qishan rolling the most relaxation of the name, rolling the shape of the skin seasoning and the Hanzhong skin is not much different, just in essence or "noodle", it is the wheat flour and dough into molasses, and then warm water, "wash out" gluten, the empty under the soup slurry, scooped into the white cage cloth, and then the soup, and the noodles, and the noodles. It is made by mixing wheat flour into dough, then washing out the gluten with warm water, and steaming the empty soup mixture on a white cloth cauldron grate. The Qishan noodle skin is cut into one-finger widths and put into a big iron ladle, then the steamed gluten, garlic water, mung bean sprouts, seasoning soup, oil spices, mustard seeds and all into the mix, stirred well, and served on a plate. The taste qualities of Qishan noodle skin are gluten and tang, sour and spicy flavor, after eating a dish of Qishan cold skin will guarantee that your head will be sweating. Qishan noodle skin, in fact, is a small revolution in the noodles, it draws the noodles "tendon", so that the noodles of the bold show a flexible side, in terms of quality, is very close to the Hanzhong noodle skin.
Rice noodles, respectively, Hanzhong Guanzhong dietary direction, at the same time, but also shaped the two places of people with very different character traits and life values, at this point, is from the "Compendium of Materia Medica" to find a little bit of basis, the "Materia Medica", said: rice can nourish the spleen, wheat can make up the heart. When the spleen is good, human nature is soft, and when the heart is good, people are honest. Therefore, in general, the Hanzhong people, more than born rice white tender and short, Guanzhong people, more than born wheat color thriving male dominant thick. Aided by the mountain and river situation of the conditioning, and then, Hanzhong people from the temperament on the side of the soft and sentimental, good elegance, free to think of life, and Guanzhong people, it is in the heart and mind of the earth-like rough, permanent chivalry and righteousness, and sometimes have a swordsman behavior.
These stalls are generally not big, a front is enough. Doorway plate up a large stove, stove on the support of a large pot, pot boiling water, water on the frame of a layer of towering steamer baskets. A cage of end of the uncovered, and then a cage of water on the rice steam up. Next to a stove, sitting on the stove is a large pot of seasoning soup boiled overnight. There are a lot of good things in it: chopped green onion, ginger, pepper, grasshopper, dashi, etc. There are also several herbs such as tianma, angelica, and so on.
The noodles are actually made of rice, similar to southern rice noodles. It is named so because it is tender and strong like good noodles. It can be cut as thin as noodles or gulped down in a bowl and eaten after pouring on the seasoned soup.
Eating noodles without chili is not taste anything. The more sophisticated selection of the best pepper, finely ground into flour, add sesame seeds, and then splashed with hot oil, far from smelling people's appetites. So you had to sit down, who let the intestines so naughty? Just unknowingly ate a bowl, a little like a pig eating ginseng fruit, only know how to eat, only know how to eat, but forgot to taste, you have to come back to a bowl, savor. Just after all, some can not tell a reason to, spicy is not, sour is not, hemp is not, only feel the heart hot, stomach and intestines, mouth and tongue fragrance, oil and not greasy, refreshing and warm, it is best to drink a bowl of vegetables and tofu, like drinking coffee with a companion, not a moment, you will be on the top of the head and feet are bubbling with heat, but also the face of the peach blossom. No wonder the girls in Hanzhong usually look watery, moist, gentle, but eat up the skin but also some of the air swallowed the momentum of the mountains.
With the reform and opening up, this kind of southern Shaanxi snacks are also on the streets of Beijing, Shenzhen, the big block. Just the price is expensive and not to mention, the flavor is not very authentic, especially very unaccustomed to outsiders will always call the noodles cold skin. Because I always thought that the noodles eat cold solid good, can eat hot on the more general flavor. Late at night in the winter, the sky is cold, the night market is crowded, a steady stream of people. All just to eat a bowl of freshly steamed and sold hot noodle skin. Especially it is a great night snack for couples, steaming, snuggling up to you a bite, I bite, eat with love and tone, the days of the harsh achievements of the red-hot, sweet, that beauty, don't mention it!
Originally thought that snacks are snacks, is not on the surface of the table, who knew that back in a friend's wedding banquet unexpectedly saw the skin, it was surrounded by a circle of shiny meat, covered with a large lettuce leaves, surrounded by a lot of cherries, lotus seeds, and so on, for a time, the color and flavor was it accounted for, that a large plate served up not two minutes, a person with two chopsticks also The first thing you need to do is to get rid of all the stuff that you have to do.
While this is the case, but I always feel that the skin is ultimately the people, popular food, or not to give it to put on those noble, beautiful coat for the good. A little bit of understanding of a love of eating noodles outside the country:
Shaanxi's noodles a lot, from the regional points, there are several kinds of noodles, Qinzhen noodles, Qishan noodles, Hanzhong noodles, which is still only I know. The raw materials are basically flour and rice. Qinzhen and Hanzhong noodles are made of rice, Qishan noodles are made of flour and rolled out, so Qishan noodles are also known as Qishan rolled out noodles. Most people in Shaanxi prefer to eat noodles, especially women, a few days do not eat will definitely want.
Three kinds of noodles, I personally prefer the Hanzhong noodles, softer, more slippery. Good Hanzhong noodle skin must not put growth factor to grow out of soybean sprouts as a base, with farmers first in the iron pot fried incense, and then in the stone nest smashed out of the chili pepper, and then finally splashed with hot oil, sprinkled with sesame seeds, that is called incense. Eat Hanzhong noodles, the authentic way to eat a bowl of noodles, a vegetable tofu, a small dish of sauce, sauce is dedicated to the vegetable tofu with. Hanzhong noodle skin just look at the appearance, can arouse people's appetite, white noodle skin, soybean sprouts, red chili. But the tofu is not so pretty. It looks like broken tofu, with some savory things dotted on top, and it also looks like unfresh tofu that's been sitting around for a few days. But don't look at it inconspicuous, but very healthy food, the so-called pickles but the store's homemade slurry vegetables yo, it turns out that Hanzhong people are using slurry vegetables to order vegetables tofu, healthier than using brine, right? Hanzhong people are very good noodles, many people almost every day to eat at least one meal, and even some people will bring some on the road to eat business trips. Hanzhong in addition to the noodles, vegetables, tofu, and the skin, rice cold noodles, soybean milk rice, are quite delicious.
Hanzhong people more long life, many Hanzhong people believe that this is often eaten with their noodles and vegetables tofu related. Hanzhong is also a place of great talent, Liu Bang, Han Xin, Cao Cao, Zhuge Liang ...... Hanzhong is also a place of great talent, with Liu Bang, Han Xin, Cao Cao, Zhuge Liang , and many famous historical figures leaving their footprints in Hanzhong. Hanzhong climate is pleasant, known as the small Jiangnan. April, Hanzhong rape flowers will bloom very romantic, Mianxian Zhuge Liang Temple of the dry lotus seems to be open in April, there is an opportunity to really should go to walk, eat noodles, trekking assessment of the ancient, there must be a taste. Hanzhong Basin climate is humid, rich in water, fertile land, rich in produce, rice, known as the "land of fish and rice" reputation. Hanzhong rice noodle skin is to the local abundance of high-quality rice as raw materials, the first day will be clean rice, soaked and ground into a pulp, the pulp can not be too thick or too thin to thin paste is appropriate, and then to the special white iron skins pan sheng pulp, put in boiling water, a little hot will be cooked. Put out the pan, soak it in cool water, and then use chopsticks to spin it along the edge of the pan, and then snap it back, and a white, soft noodle sheet will be ready. Wipe the skin with a bit of cooked oil, fold it over and cut it into finger-width noodles with a knife. The skin of this noodle is pliable and soft, smooth and delicate in the mouth, and has an excellent flavor. Of course, the skin of the noodles is not accompanied, usually add some shredded cucumber or boiling water blanched bean sprouts, cowpeas, mostly crisp things, each other complement each other. In addition, there is no shortage of seasonings: soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, monosodium glutamate (MSG), chili peppers, mustard, sesame paste, Hong Kong, all of them. Especially chili. Is the most flavorful seasoning, if there is a lack of red oil chili peppers, will be less soul. Eat noodles not divided into seasons, all year round, spring, summer, fall and winter, are made and sold, available at any time. Rice noodle skin is Hanzhong people hospitality of the top meal. The size of the hotel, on the seat will be gold bottles of wine, mountain treasures and sea food, never less than a large plate of noodles, and the skin quasi-definitely the most popular, the first to eat the net. Even the sick people who do not think about food, but also want to eat a bowl of rice noodle skin, open open stomach. Later, people switched to using overlapping bamboo cages, which can steam several sheets at a time, and are large and thin. Cut into thin strips, tendons, flexible, soft and uninterrupted, like noodles, renamed "noodles". (The noodle here refers to the noodle made of rice, not flour.) However, Hanzhong people are getting more and more sophisticated in the craft of making noodle skin. In winter, you can eat noodles to keep warm, eat in the summer you can eliminate the Department, eat in the spring you can relieve fatigue, eat in the fall you can go wet, it can be said to be suitable for all seasons, rare natural green pollution-free food.
A 20 square meters of cold skin store profit analysis:
Hanzhong rice skin cost profit analysis: 50 pounds of rice as an example:
50 kg of rice unit price of 1.3 yuan, that is, 1.3 yuan * 50 = 65 yuan, you can do 125 pounds of skin, each bowl of 0.5 pounds, adjustable 250 bowls, each bowl sells for 2 yuan, **** count 500 yuan. Fuel costs 25 yuan.
Spice water 37.5 yuan, chili oil 25 yuan, sesame 37.5 yuan
250 bowls of rice skin seasoning *** count: 25 yuan + 37.5 yuan + 25 yuan + 37.5 yuan = 125 yuan
Total cost: 65 yuan of rice + seasoning 125 yuan = 190 yuan
Pure profit: 500 yuan - 190 yuan = 310 yuan
It seems that the rolling out of flour and rice to compare, the cost of rice is much lower. Hanzhong noodles skin is also called cold skin, according to the choice of raw materials, called different, with (large) rice production called rice skin, also called cold skin, with the face (flour) made called gluten skin, according to the taste is divided into Hanzhong noodles skin and Qinzhen noodles skin, due to the Hanzhong noodles skin than the Qinzhen noodles skin tender, smooth, good taste. The most important thing is that the raw materials are easy to purchase, simple production, so in the country's big cities can be seen everywhere to "Hanzhong cold skin (noodles)", "Shaanxi noodles" named specialty stores and stalls, the development of cold skin can be seen there is a large profit space, is a real small investment, risk! Small short, flat, fast project.
