I'm from Xinyang, but I recommend Zhengzhou.

The answer that many people give is that Xinyang comes first, which makes sense, because people in Henan are generally frugal, except Xinyang. Xinyang people enjoy life the most among Henan people. It is no exaggeration to say that the consumption level of Guangshan County, a small county here, has already surpassed that of Zhengzhou. For example, I have participated in Zhengzhou people's weddings. The tobacco and wine used in the wedding banquet are relatively economical, with a cost of about 2, yuan, while the tobacco and alcohol used here are all good cigarettes and good wines. A wedding banquet costs about 9, yuan, and the house price in Guangshan County is as high as 8, yuan. High consumption level, naturally willing to eat, eat well.

Xinyang cuisine is famous outside, including Gushi Goose Piece, Luoshan Dachang Soup and Xinyang version of Wuhan Regan Noodles. Xinyang eats rice, which is unique in Henan Province. Influenced by Anhui, heavy oil and heavy salt are the characteristics of Xinyang cuisine, with one word; "Smelly" to describe.

But I prefer the northern style of the uninhibited school, which brings together Zhengzhou cuisine, which is famous all over the world.

I have only lived in Zhengzhou for four years, but I have always been obsessed with the delicious food in Zhengzhou.

When I first came to Zhengzhou, as a Xinyang person, I didn't understand the food culture here. For example, the Huimian Noodles bowl that was so big was too unattractive, and the noodles in the saute chicken were too simple and rude. When eating, everyone had a bowl of noodles, which always felt impersonal.

Later, I still couldn't escape the law of "real fragrance". The most fascinating thing about Zhengzhou's food is the variety, because Zhengzhou is located in the transportation hub of the whole country. Zhengzhou is a place where delicious food is gathered from north, south, east and west, and there are many kinds of pasta, such as Lamian Noodles in Lanzhou, biángbiáng noodles in Shaanxi, oil-sprinkled noodles in Regan Noodles, Wuhan, and Huimian Noodles, cold noodles with Zhengzhou characteristics. It's really "comprehensive"

.

Snacks are not an ornament of food culture, but a very important key. Kaifeng snacks are very famous, and some of them are also found in Zhengzhou, Kaifeng, and even have more patterns. The snacks in Zhengzhou are inexpensive, with all kinds of barbecue stalls, fried skewers, meat pies and steamed buns. Naturally, it goes without saying that the meat in the gravy and the baked gluten are even better.

Cold dishes are also very important. Peanuts, cucumber slices, salted edamame and beans are also beautiful landscapes. After going to Hangzhou, they have never been eaten again.

Large pieces of chicken and potatoes are packed in a big plate, which makes people feel heroic. Real men should drink and eat meat in large pieces, and the taste is never vague. Thrift is a virtue. After eating chicken and potatoes, it seems to be a customary rule to stir the soup with a plate of noodles, which is full of ritual.

finally, I spit out the food in Hangzhou. I didn't know what to eat when I went there. The stir-fried dishes tasted just so-so, snacks almost disappeared, and the baked wheat cakes were all unpalatable. Lamian Noodles in Lanzhou became the only lifeline for foreigners.
