Daoxiao Noodles is the most representative noodle in Shanxi Province, which is the best in the world and has a history of hundreds of years. According to legend, after Mongolian Tatar invaded the Central Plains, the Yuan Dynasty was established. In order to prevent the "Han people" from rebelling and uprising, all the metals in every household were confiscated, and ten households were required to use a kitchen knife, which was used in turn to cut vegetables and cook, and then returned to the Tatar for safekeeping. One day at noon, an old woman made sticks, sorghum flour into dough and asked the old man to take the knife. As a result, the knife was taken away by others, and the old man had to return. When he left the Tatar gate, his foot was touched by a thin iron sheet, and he picked it up and put it in his arms. After returning home, the pot kept ringing, and the whole family waited for the knife to cut noodles. But the knife didn't come back, and the old man was so anxious that he suddenly remembered the iron sheet in his arms and took it out and said, Use this iron sheet to cut the plane! When my wife saw it, the iron sheet was thin and soft, and she murmured, How can such a soft thing cut noodles? The old man said angrily: "cut" and "cut" without moving. The word "chop" reminded my wife that she put the dough on a wooden board, picked it up with her left hand and held the iron piece in her right hand, and stood at the edge of the boiling water pot to "chop" the noodles. One piece fell into the pot, cooked it, fished it into the bowl, and poured the marinade on it for the old man to eat first. The old man said while eating, "Very good, very good. I don't need to take the kitchen knife to cut the noodles again." In this way, one spread ten times, ten spread hundreds, and spread all over Jinzhong. So far, Pingyao, Jiexiu, Fenyang, Xiaoyi and other counties in Jinzhong, both men and women will cut noodles. Later, "Fengyang" gave birth to Emperor Zhu (Zhu Yuanzhang), unified China and established the Ming Dynasty. This kind of "noodle cutting" spread among social vendors, and after many reforms, it evolved into the present Daoxiao Noodles. Daoxiao Noodles is soft and hard, soft and tough, and it has a unique flavor when it is marinated, fried or cold, such as a little vinegar.
