Dried noodle Dried noodle is a kind of pasta with unique flavor in Guoyang. In Guoyang, its concept is not only a food, but also represents the food culture of a place, or even one of the regional symbols of a place.
There are different opinions on the history of Dried noodle, but its delicious and unique flavor is unanimous. In this remote county town in Huaibei Plain, no matter where people flow, A few steps away, you can see a dry-button noodle restaurant. There are no advertisements on the facade of the noodle restaurant except for a few big signs. But when people don't arrive at the store, the unique aroma of the dry-button noodle will come to the nose. When I entered the store, I saw the onion, ginger and garlic in the bowl, the pepper mixed with oil in the basin and the dog meat in the basket, all of which smelled appetizing. Because of the different customs and tastes, many people did not eat dog meat. Seriously, the dog meat was really stained with the luster of the dry button noodles when they were mixed together.
When a pot of fragrant and greasy bean sprout soup and two fresh and yellow poached eggs were served on the table. Wolf down. Sometimes outsiders don't understand why a bowl of ordinary dried noodles makes people eat so much, drink so little, and don't understand why local people always have a soft spot for dried noodles ... Yes, food culture is always marked with strong regional characteristics, just like Cantonese people like to eat sugar, Sichuan people like to eat spicy food, Shanxi people like to be jealous, and Guoyang people just like to eat dried noodles. It has become an indispensable part of the diet life of Guoyang people.
As an ordinary person, I also like or live alone, sneaking into the streets when I have nothing to do, meeting in the fun of the noodle restaurant, feeling full of food and feeling comfortable, and then enjoying the happy loneliness in my heart with a foolish posture; Or on a calm weekend, invite friends, huddle in groups of steaming people, sit down at the noodle table, chat while blowing the sea, while copying and mixing the noodles, smelling the attractive spicy, sweaty forehead, which is really romantic. Whenever friends visit in the distance, invite them to the dry noodle restaurant to taste it, which has become a reserved program. Whenever friends are sweating and full, they are amazed, as Guoyang people. Drinking leisure tea leads to a high grade. Generally, stalls make people poor, but when you go to dry noodle restaurants, it's different, regardless of whether you are high or low, regardless of age, chirping, unrestrained, and no one says you are indecent; People go in and out with peace of mind, 1 yuan and 8 yuan, and no one says you are stingy. You eat friends, but you don't want to eat, and you don't eat friends. You don't spend much money, but you also eat a little sweaty self-satisfaction and enjoy a beautiful mood.
A friend from other places came to Guoyang on a business trip the other day, and he has heard about Guoyang's name for a long time. His friend is a gourmet and gluttonous at the noodle restaurant. The pool that is "soft to water" has a beautiful water rhyme, and the granite Kowloon column stands beautifully, quite lamenting the thick Taoist atmosphere of this dragon and earth. It is said that "the Kowloon column is a combination of form and spirit, and it looks like the ten fingers of a vortex person: nine fingers resolutely dominate the sky, and one finger extends the ground." I thought what I said was very interesting. "However, there is another story," my friend added.
I traveled a long time ago, but I haven't returned home for a long time. I occasionally read an online article about the dried noodles with dog meat in my hometown, which caused the worms in my abdomen to crawl around and couldn't help themselves. In this foreign land far from the countryside, there are some mountains and rivers in Ming Xiu, some trees are towering, but there is no dried noodles with dog meat in my hometown. I thought to myself, if I wander in a foreign land one day and suddenly look up in a corner of the market, This meeting is a different taste.
Generally speaking, the noodle restaurants with dry buttons are not so conspicuous and look not so neat. There are two facades in this street, one is the entrance to the entrance, the other is opened with a big window, and the big stoves are facing the street. On one of the stoves, there is a huge iron pot, which is steaming. At the entrance of frontispiece, there is a greasy man squatting or standing, guarding one probably from the Han Dynasty. There is a small pot covered with a thick layer of oil and filled with dog soup, and the aroma is overflowing. When you enter the door, you will find that the facade is not big and the stomach is not small. A hall inside is filled with tables and chairs in sequence, and the ordinary dry noodle restaurant can also accommodate at least 3 people at the same time. Some noodle restaurants are built according to the situation, and there is no wide hall, but along the narrow aisle, there is a hole in the sky, where people are buzzing and hot. Finally, I can find a place.
After choosing a place, I go to a disinfection cupboard near the door and take a big enamel bowl and a pair of bamboo chopsticks, and then scoop a bowl of bean sprout soup from the iron bucket next to me-the soup before eating noodles. Don't underestimate this bowl of bean sprout soup, which is original bean sprout soup, without any seasoning, just the soup cooked by the original bean sprouts. It's something you can't taste in any other restaurant or home. It's original ecology, and it's cooked directly from the vat where bean sprouts grow. Although it may be a little unsanitary, it's the temptation of its taste that makes people forget the good training of "getting sick from the mouth".
Noodles are applauded as soon as they enter the door, and now they are tumbling in the cauldron. In the case next to the cauldron, One by one, the enamel bowls were filled. While stirring the rolling noodles in the pot with a pair of long chopsticks, the shopkeeper put soy sauce, salt, monosodium glutamate, mashed garlic and other seasonings into the enamel bowls one by one according to her established order. The noodles with dry buttons are different from ordinary noodles, which are hard-looking noodles with a yellow color. I don't know if they are corn flour or other miscellaneous noodles, but they are actually made with more alkali than usual. Cooking this kind of noodles is like cooking jiaozi. This is true. From time to time, the shopkeeper lifts the lid of the cauldron and adds cold water into it.
Noodles are directly put into a bowl with seasonings, and served by Xiao Er or himself. Don't be busy eating, Chili oil on the table is essential, whether you like Chili or not. Put more if you can eat spicy food, so that the whole bowl of noodles will be as red as fire. If you can't eat spicy food, put less, just change the color of the noodles a little. Chili oil in noodle restaurants is also a unique seasoning, and many regular customers go there with Chili oil. Just like the bottom material of Chongqing hot pot, "every village has its own tricks".
The noodles contain more alkali and are hard. It is not green food.
