According to historical records, the production of vermicelli in Bozhou was the earliest in the Eastern Han Dynasty, with a history of more than 2, years, which was once listed as a tribute. Mulan vermicelli is a famous Bozhou specialty. It is the hometown of Mulan, a heroine, and it is the birthplace of vermicelli, and Mulan is the ancestor of vermicelli.

After joining the army, Hua Mulan traveled to the front line of Montenegro day and night. After entering the barracks, he repeatedly made outstanding achievements, which was deeply appreciated by the marshal and supported by the soldiers. One day, when it rained suddenly, Mulan visited the kitchen camp and found that the masters in the kitchen camp were worried about the flour paste soaked by the rain, fearing that the marshal would punish them. Hua Mulan used her quick wits, remembering a delicious food that her mother had to cook on holidays when she was a child, she ordered the chefs in the kitchen to raise fire and boil water. He also ordered to bring several copper pots, put a spoonful of flour paste into the copper pots, spread it evenly at the bottom of the pots, and then put the pots on the water surface of the boiling pot to rotate. Soon, a crystal clear pancake appeared, and the fragrance was fragrant, and the soldiers rushed to grab food. From then on, this crystal clear pancake was called "Mulan vermicelli" and became a necessary food in the military camp.

Twelve years later, the soldiers returned triumphantly, and also brought the production technology of "Mulan vermicelli" back to their hometown. Although there are various legends about "vermicelli" all over the country, the story of "Mulan, the ancestor of vermicelli" has been circulated for more than two thousand years.
