The whole village is full of faces like waterfalls
Pan Zhoujia Village has the two surnames of Pan and Zhou. Administratively, it still belongs to two villages, one is Panjia Village and the other is Zhoujia Village. The two surnames live together, and the village boundaries have long been unclear. They are also famous for their noodles, so they are collectively called Panzhoujia Village. There are more than 500 households in the Panzhoujia family with a population of more than 1,600, and every family can make noodles. The handmade noodles with the trademark of Panzhoujia Village have now become a unique local product in Pujiang County. They use this noodles as gifts to relatives and friends, especially the elders.

To make handmade noodles, the temperature needs to be appropriate. Generally speaking, there are only five months of production time in a year, and mid-September is the "noodle making" season this year. When the reporter rushed to Pan Zhoujia Village
, they saw dozens of noodle stands densely packed on the drying ground. The noodle stands were more than two meters long and 1.78 meters high, with strips of white noodles like Hanging down like a waterfall, several villagers were busy. Villager Zhou Changbing skillfully used two bamboo strips to separate the noodles from the top and stroke them down, and the noodles were divided into two thin halves. This process is called ramen, and it is also a technical job. Villagers with high skills can't break a few noodles from a noodle stand. After making the noodles, dry them

Walking among the houses along Ququ Village Road, you can often see villagers wearing masks and working hard. Today is the first time this year for Aunt Zhou Xianzhu to make noodles. The sun at noon is still fierce. The aunt is sweating on her forehead, but she is smiling happily. Last year she earned more than 2,000 yuan by making noodles, and she is even more motivated this year. Yesterday morning, she deliberately moved out the noodle rack that had been hidden for more than half a year and washed it again and again. These noodle stands are the treasures of Pan Zhou's villagers. Each household has at least three or four, and as many as a dozen. The noodle stand that Zhou Xianzhu still uses today was passed down from her great-grandmother and has a history of more than 100 years. The simple shape and blackened wood all tell the story of the village's indissoluble bond with noodles.
The villagers told us that it is not yet the time for large-scale production. If we look at it in a month or two, every household will make noodles at that time.
