Bengbu, Anhui Province is located in the middle reaches of the Huaihe River. It has always been a business center where merchants gather. She is a bright pearl, tightly embedded in the skirt of the mother river. At the same time, Bengbu is also a city brought back by trains. With a broad mind, it embraces people from the south and north who come to do business or settle down. Therefore, it is also a diversified city, and the diversity of food is particularly prominent. Food from the east, west, north, and south can be found everywhere, and snacks from all over the country heat up the city’s nights.

?The business of a small Guohun Noodle House on Gongnong Road in Bengbu has always been very good, with an endless stream of customers coming to eat noodles. The owner of the store is Xu Xiangdong. He is a smart, capable young man with a flexible business mind. His store design is simple and elegant. The origin of "Xu Ji's Noodles" tells the story of his hard work and hard work.< /p>

?Hookhun noodles are a famous snack in Chengdu, Sichuan. The business of Huji soul noodles in Jinli, Chengdu is very popular. There is a legend about Huji soul noodles.

According to legend, it was during the Shunzhi period of the Qing Dynasty. There was a salt seller named Hu in Zigong. He bought a few kilograms of pork and accidentally dropped it in the salt pile. He couldn't find it no matter how hard he looked for it. Later, a buyer came to buy salt and found it in the salt pile. Pork was found in the pot. Hu Hu thought it was a pity to waste it, so he chopped the meat into minced meat and made a pot of noodles. The result was so fragrant that the neighbors feasted on it. Due to poor management, the salt farm closed down, and he himself died.

Merchant Hu’s son learned his father’s cooking skills and opened a “Huji Gohun Noodles” on the street, which was also a historical event. The first Guohun Noodle Shop has a unique and excellent taste, and its business is surprisingly good, and it continues to this day. However, because the Hu family’s skills are not spread outside, it is difficult for friends outside Sichuan to have a chance to enjoy it.

In the golden autumn of October, when the lights were on, Xu Xiangdong took some time off from his busy schedule to tell me the story of how he learned the art of introducing Guohun noodles.

Xu Xiangdong was a very hard-working man in Shanghai in his twenties. Doing business in Kunshan. As he grew older, he always wanted to start a business in his hometown, but struggled to find a project that suited him. Nine years ago, he traveled to Chengdu and was attracted by Bengbu Noodles in Jinli. The idea of ??opening a Guuhun Noodles restaurant came to him. So, Xu Xiangdong tentatively discussed the idea with the store owner, but was rejected by the store owner.

Xu Xiangdong is a persistent person. In order to learn the art of making noodles, he stayed in the store for several days and kept communicating with the store owner. The store owner was moved by Xu Xiangdong's sincerity and finally agreed to take him in. As an apprentice, he taught Xu Xiangdong the craftsmanship of Guohun Noodles.

After returning to Beng, Xu Xiangdong began to prepare for the Guohun Noodle House. The promotion of traditional food culture was brought into management, and he called the Guhun Noodles he ran Xu Ji Guhun Noodles. Xu Xiangdong also made a plaque in the store to write "The Origin of Xu Ji Guhun Noodles" and told the story of his learning. The food culture and management methods are written in it. While adhering to the traditional craftsmanship of Guohun Noodles, he also portrays the connotation of Xuji Guohun Noodles.

Zou Linmei, a Northeastern born in the 1980s, has a cheerful and enthusiastic personality. Generous and very sunny. She has worked hard to run the noodle shop with her husband for six years, and their love has been sweet.

During the interview, the noodle shop was running smoothly. One employee told me a touching story that happened in the store last year.

Last summer, a customer from out of town came to the noodle restaurant to discuss business. He left his bag in the noodle shop in a hurry. When Zou Linmei found out, the customer had disappeared. The customer witnessed her opening the bag, and there was more than 40,000 yuan in cash in the bag. Zou Linmei was very anxious, and she saw a box of business cards in the bag. She called the number on the business card, and the person who answered the phone was the owner himself. The owner rushed to the store to take over the bag and offered 2,000 yuan to express his gratitude. Zou Linmei politely refused. The owner felt sorry and bought some fruit and delivered it to the store.

Northeasterners are living Lei Feng! !

?Every customer who has eaten at Xu Ji's Noodle House is full of praise for Xu Ji's Noodles. After eating the noodles, a customer from the north carefully read "The Origin of Xu Ji's Noodles", gave him a thumbs up and said: A bowl of noodles made me get to know two cities.

?This is the charm of a bowl of noodles
