Personal insights, please read.
Zhenjiang is a city in southern Jiangsu Province, everyone loves to eat noodles dare not say, but one thing is certain, is that Zhenjiang people and SuXi Chang people, many people like to eat noodles, especially in the morning. However, unlike the people in Su Xichang, Zhenjiang people are very much in favor of the "pot noodle".
I originally thought that Zhenjiang people eat "pot noodle" and Su Xichang and other places to eat the same noodles, the change is only "topping" different, only show different.
Since I went to Zhenjiang many times, listening to Zhenjiang students said, "pot noodles" sounds just different noodles under the law, but in fact there are great care. Zhenjiang "pot noodle" also known as "knife noodles", according to its face of the practice process, Zhenjiang people called "jumping noodles". I have been led by my classmates to visit the traditional practice of "pot noodle", that is, the initial kneading of the dough on the board, and then a bamboo pole, one end of which is fixed on top of the board, the other end of which sits on a noodle maker, skillfully using the elasticity of the bamboo pole, up and down, left and right, constantly jumping and pressing the noodle, until the dough is pressed into a thin, crisp sheet of noodles, and then cut with a knife into a variety of different widths of the noodle. I feel that this process is almost similar to the production process of Guangdong "bamboo rising noodles".
Nowadays, there are so-called Zhenjiang "pot noodle" everywhere, and almost no one is bothered by the noodle's practice and instructions, and is curious about why they put a lid on the noodle when they cook it. What could be a better topping than Zhenjiang pork?
Whenever I go to Zhenjiang, I always have to eat a bowl of pot noodles, but I doubt that so many stores are still using the traditional process to make pot noodles. I don't have time to wonder, because eating a bowl of real Zhenjiang pot noodles with my favorite topping "fried eel," I always feel that it's not a waste of time to come to Zhenjiang.
In addition to Danyang, Zhenjiang area people come to the north more than words and food are like northern customs.
I know that said scolding, but I still want to spit out the Zhenjiang noodles is really hard to eat!

The earliest pot noodle is called gang noodle, ancient military system, ten people for a gang, called each other partners, eat the same collective meal. The noodles were accompanied by soldiers from the north or people from the north moving south to Zhenjiang, and the ancient handmade noodle-making techniques and tools (some of which have been lost in the north) have been preserved to this day, which is a living fossil of handmade noodles.
Authentic Gangmian (or knife noodles) is the longest inherited noodle in Jiangnan, preserving the ancient noodle-making techniques and tools that have disappeared elsewhere and are relatively complete: jumping noodles (Guangdong Zhusheng noodles, Sichuan Silver Silk Noodles also retains this process) - wooden poles or bamboo poles to press the noodle, rolling out the noodle on a thick bamboo gabion row, a small knife (the knife). In fact, sixteen pounds of crucian carp back cutting knife) cutting noodles, bamboo funnel fishing noodles, handmade ten pounds of authentic gangmyeon need to spend two hours. The masters who can do the authentic gang noodles (or knife noodles, pot noodles) are few and far between, so the vast majority of pot noodle stores may use the mechanism of the noodles, in the pot cover, modulation of the soy sauce on the effort.
