The traditional cuisine in Shanxi is as follows:

The traditional cuisine in Shanxi is a kind of pasta, and the "fishing", also known as Liujian, originated in Yuncheng and Jinzhong, Shanxi, and is popular in Shanxi, Mongolia, Shaanxi and Hebei. Picking tip is convenient and quick to make, delicious and easy to digest, so it is widely favored by the public and is a very representative kind of pasta in Shanxi.

In Traditional Pasta, Li Shimin's imperial sister, Bagu, went to Mianshan to recite scriptures and practice, collecting medicine for the villagers to treat diseases. One day, Aunt Ba prepared medicine and cooked for a sick old woman. When mixing dough, add dough when it is soft, add water when it is hard, and finally mix the dough until it is thin and soft. Seeing the water boiling in the pot, Aunt Ba used her quick wits to pick up a piece of wood, put the soft dough on the board, tried to dial it into the boiling water pot with a chopstick, and actually set aside noodles.

When the old woman cooked the bowl and enjoyed it, she asked, "What's this called, son?" Aunt mistook "this" for "you" and blurted out, "It's called Aunt." The old woman mistakenly heard it as "dialing stocks", and from then on, there was a "dialing stocks" face, which was the earliest picking. Later, picking tips gradually spread and gradually became an indispensable exquisite staple food on the Shanxi people's table.

there are two ways to make tips: picking fish and picking stocks.

From the nickname "Diaoyu", we can see not only the method of making it, but also its shape. "Dial" bluntly describes the main process of its production; "Fish" refers to the shape of pasta.

The book "Characteristics of Vinegar Country" records that in 1958, two masters, Wang Yuxiu and Zeng Zhaozhi of Taiyuan, improved the folk fishing method, put the noodle paste in a special plate, and held a special bamboo chopsticks in his right hand. When picking, he turned the plate with his left hand and picked it out with his right hand, which improved the production speed and the length of the finished product. Later, this noodle making method was fully popularized in Taiyuan pasta industry and became one of the basic skills of Shanxi noodle chef.

when picking the tip of the turntable, it is important to put a hole in the middle of the plate with water around it, so that the plate can be picked up, and then put the batter in the hole, and repeat. Today, the fish-plucking is also a unique performance of Shanxi pasta. The pasta flying in the air, such as "fish chasing the waves and carp jumping on the dragon gate", expresses good wishes for people's bright future.
