The origin of spicy strips

Spicy strips originally originated from an accident. The history of making bean products in Pingjiang, Hunan Province is very long, and it is an important part of Pingjiang industry.

During the period of 1998, a serious flood disaster occurred in Hunan, resulting in serious losses of agricultural products. The price of soybean, the main raw material of dry sauce industry in Pingjiang County, rose sharply from 7 cents per catty to 5 1 kg per piece, which directly dealt a devastating blow to the dry sauce industry. In order to support their families, farmers in Pingjiang county urgently need a new way out. Under such circumstances, relatively cheap and easily available flour has become the first choice. In order to reduce the cost, the masters of foreign dry sauce workshops jointly developed a formula of gluten snacks.

This gluten snack is the prototype of spicy strips. It turns out that spicy strips are mainly used for seasoning as long as they are salty and spicy. Later, after the reaction of some dealers, children prefer to eat some sweet and spicy strips. In order to meet the market demand, they specially made sweet and spicy strips, which were quickly welcomed by people after facing the market. [ 1]

The problem broke out

Pingjiang county, located in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, does not produce wheat, and its raw materials are mostly transported from other places. First, transportation takes a lot of time, second, it increases the logistics cost, and third, long-term transportation will affect the quality of wheat. Therefore, the Central Plains (Henan) where wheat is produced has become the first choice for the production of spicy strips. For this reason, the production of spicy strips is divided into two factions: North and South. "Southern School" is mainly concentrated around Pingjiang County, Hunan Province, where it originated. Spicy strip production enterprises are small in scale and have many brands, but they lack representative enterprises. The "Northern School" is mainly concentrated in Zhengzhou, Luohe and other places, with Wei Long Spicy Strip as the main representative enterprise.

It is worth noting that many problems of spicy strips (small workshops, dirty factories, excessive additives, etc. ) also broke out during this period, and these problems continued until 20 17, and many unscrupulous manufacturers still made unqualified spicy strips and sold them to the market. [ 1]

In 2000 alone, there were as many as 4,000 enterprises of seasoned noodle products in Henan. "At that time, it was a manual workshop, and the processing was relatively rough. In addition to an extruder, it is difficult to find a second decent food machine with a daily production capacity of more than several hundred pieces. " Li Changgen, secretary general of Zhengzhou Pingjiang Chamber of Commerce, said.
