The origin of the name "Bridge Rice Noodle" is quite a story. Legend has it that more than a hundred years ago during the Qing Dynasty, there was a large lake outside the city of Mengzi, Yunnan Province, with a small island located in the center of the lake. A certain scholar who was determined to study went to the island every day to study. His wife, a virtuous scholar, made his favorite rice noodles for lunch every day and delivered them to him personally. However, because of the long distance, by the time she arrived at the island, the rice noodles in the food box were no longer warm.
By chance, when Xiu Cai's wife was delivering a chicken soup to the island, she realized that the thick layer of chicken oil covering the soup surface could lock the heat and keep the soup warm for a longer time than usual.
So she was inspired to try to use chicken, bone boiled broth, rice noodles at home first hot, the ingredients are also at home to wash and cut ready, wait until the island, and then poured into the soup.
This method was a great success, and then quickly spread, people have followed suit. Because every time Xiucai's wife went to the island, she had to cross a stone bridge. In order to honor this
virtuous and intelligent wife, the descendants of her invented the practice of rice noodles, called "bridge rice noodles".
In southern Yunnan, the local people often start their day with a bowl of rice noodles. Only after drinking a mouthful of warm, sweet and thick soup, and eating chopsticks of smooth, sweet and soft rice noodles, the stomach of Yunnan people is considered to be a solid sink into the fireworks.
Someone once asked the question: why is the bridge rice noodle the most expensive among the many rice noodles? The answer is because it charges a bridge toll.

The book reading habit of sleep and food, his wife knows that he is weak, afraid that he is too tired to read, hungry stomach. In order to make up for his body with a casserole stewed a hen, the scholar reading too seriously at noon forgot to eat, and so his wife came in the evening when he did not move.
When the two went home, they touched the casserole, and the temperature was not reduced. Why? The casserole is originally a bad conductor of heat, not heat dissipation, coupled with a layer of chicken soup above the chicken oil, the heat to the inside of the isolation. At this time to take out the rice noodles, dinner, you have to eat the main food, shelved, a hot one over, and then fish out to eat, ouch flavor is delicious, the scholar repeatedly said "mother really good craft."

The lady had to cross a bridge to deliver the food. The scholar asked, "What kind of rice noodles is this?" Niangzi said, "Rice noodles across the bridge!" This is how the name "Bridge Rice Noodle" came about.
