Wheat shrimp is the most representative coastal snack, and it is also a very "deceptive" snack.

Linhai's wheat shrimps are actually gnocchi. I jokingly call them Linhai shaved noodles because they are the same as Shanxi's shaved noodles. The dough is cut off with a knife. The difference is that in Shanxi's shaved noodles, the wheat flour is kneaded into a ball.

A piece of thin iron sheet cuts off the dough strips like a meteor chasing the moon, while wheat shrimp is made by mixing wheat flour into a slurry, and then using a kitchen knife to "cut" the slurry one by one, so Linhai people call it "cutting" wheat.

Shrimp, the cut powder is not as long and thin as a wicker, but a small lump, shaped like a curved prawn, so it is called wheat shrimp - this name is quite freehand, I think this name alone can...

It embodies the charm of "Taizhou Prefecture for thousands of years, filled with cultural people in the streets".

Really, if Mai Xia was in the north, he would not be called "knife cut noodles" by the honest northerners.

When I was in Henan, I saw a kind of noodle that was called "dao guillotine noodle". Such a name made me feel a bit violent.

Shengzhou, our neighboring county, calls wheat shrimp "Maiji Niang", "Duguo" and "Maixianguo", just like children playing house. How can our wheat shrimp be as poetic and loud as ours!

Wheat shrimps have been blooming all over Taizhou for a long time. No matter which snack street you go to, there is a wheat shrimp shop.

Even Hangzhou, Ningbo and other places have wheat shrimp restaurants near the sea.

However, this store and that store, the most famous wheat shrimp store is on the edge of Ziyang Street in Linhai, called Shuangping Wheat Shrimp Store.

Speaking of Ziyang Street, it is the most interesting and delicious ancient street in Taizhou. The Baitaqiao Restaurant on the street is highly praised by old Linhai people. I have eaten hot sweet wine rice, freshly baked molded vegetable cakes,

The fluffy, crispy and fragrant scallion pancakes, and the sweet egg white lamb tail.

However, the most famous one is the wheat shrimp of Shuangping Mai Shrimp Restaurant.

No matter which season you go, spring, summer, autumn or winter, this place is always crowded.

A few years ago, a Lanzhou Ramen opened diagonally opposite it.

But the invincible Lanzhou Ramen was finally defeated by Mai Xia, and it closed not long after it opened.

The tall and big boss of the wheat shrimp shop is quite impressive. Although he is only a small owner of the snack shop, he is quite interesting in life and is a cycling enthusiast. Unfortunately, he went to Chaliao Village, Hetou Town.

While admiring the red leaves, he fell off a cliff while riding his mountain bike and died. Several local newspapers published the news.

If it weren't for the amazing wheat shrimps, the accidental death of a small snack bar owner would definitely not occupy every page of the local media like the death of a celebrity.

A few years ago, when I ate wheat shrimps at Shuangping Wheat Shrimp Restaurant, the tall boss cut the wheat shrimps himself. Although he looked tall and thick, he stood at the door of the store like a door god, but when he cut the wheat shrimps,

The shrimp came very quickly, tilted the basin slightly, and cut it into strips along the edge of the basin with a kitchen knife. The thick wheat strips fell into the hot pot. These wheat strips were jumping around in the pot, like lively and clever waves.

In the white strips, I met some poets and literati, and maybe I chanted a few sour poems while reading - "One piece, two pieces, three or four pieces, five pieces, six pieces, seven or eight pieces. Nine pieces, ten pieces, eleven pieces, fall into

Not even in the soup."

The delicious wheat shrimp at Shuangping Mai Shrimp Restaurant has something to do with the owner's knife skills in cutting the wheat shrimp, and of course the ingredients. In the past, the condiments for wheat shrimp were green vegetables, shredded radish, and a few grains of lard were considered a luxury.

Nowadays, the ingredients of wheat shrimp are quite rich, including black shiitake mushrooms, ivory white shredded radish and bamboo shoots, bright red shredded pork, green shredded pumpkin, as well as small white shrimp, razor clams or clams, but the double-flat wheat shrimp

The store has always sold only beef wheat shrimps. After the wheat shrimps are cooked, a layer of minced beef is poured on top. The taste is very delicious, and the noodles are chewy and smooth.

Some people like spicy food, so they scoop a spoonful of their home-made butter chili sauce into it and eat it like a gizzard, making them happy.

The braised vegetables sold at Shuangping Mai Shrimp Shop are also delicious, including snails, chicken feet, chicken gizzards, beef tendons, and pork liver.

For me, who loves to eat chicken and dog offal, the attraction of Shuangping Wheat and Shrimp Restaurant is not only the wheat shrimp, but also the offal.

I think wheat shrimp has the best taste among Jiangnan noodles. Shanghainese people talk about Yangchun noodles, and Hangzhou people talk about Pianerchuan noodles. If they eat Linhai wheat shrimp, I guarantee they won’t hold back.

Add a pound of flour, an egg, a spoonful of vegetable oil, a spoonful of salt, and an appropriate amount of water into a large bowl to make a flour paste and set aside.

Heat oil in a pan over high heat, add shredded white radish and stir-fry, then add shredded braised beef, shiitake mushrooms, and rice wine, then add stock, bring to a boil over high heat, use a kitchen knife to cut the flour paste into strips along the mouth of a large bowl, and add it to the pot

, bring to a boil over high heat and add an appropriate amount of salt (you can also add shrimp, razor clams, clams, fried eggs, etc.). After it is cooked, add a little soy sauce, MSG, green onions or garlic leaves, and put it into a bowl.

Its taste characteristics: fresh and delicious.

Note: This dish is easy to cause internal heat, so it is not advisable to eat too much.

You can drink a cup of herbal tea to clear away the heat after taking it.
