1. The birth of hot-dry noodles
The advent of hot-dry noodles was purely an accidental opportunity. About 70 years ago, there was a cooked food vendor named Li in the Guandi Temple area of ??Changdi Street in Hankou. Because he had a sarcoma on his neck, others called him "Li Bao". He originally sold jelly and soup noodles. One summer, after a day of hawking on the street, he returned home with a lot of noodles left. He was afraid that the noodles would go rancid, so he boiled the noodles, took them out and let them cool on the chopping board. Unexpectedly, he accidentally knocked over the sesame oil pot and splashed all the oil on the noodles.
When Li Bao was frustrated, he had an idea and simply mixed the noodles with sesame oil, then fanned them to cool, and took them to market early the next morning. He scalded the noodles in water for a few times, took them out, put them in a bowl, added seasonings, and sold them to customers. Someone asked: "What kind of noodles are these?" Li Bao blurted out: "hot dry noodles". The noodles sold better that day than any other day, and a new snack was born by accident.
