It is impossible to verify when the cross-bridge rice noodles originated. A relatively unified theory is that Cross-Bridge Rice Noodles originated in Mengzi, southern Yunnan, and have a history of more than 100 years.

Allusion——

A scholar studied hard in a cold kiln in order to gain fame. In order for her husband to eat nutritious and cold-repelling food in the cold winter, the virtuous wife thought of Easy to make rice noodles. Use a large casserole to hold chicken soup or pork bone soup separately, and rice noodles and other ingredients in separate containers. When eating, mix the two and it becomes a steaming bowl of nutritious rice noodles.

This kind of dispensing has two advantages: 1. The oil film formed on the surface of the soup blocks the heat and plays a heat preservation effect; 2. Dispensing the soup and staple food can avoid not eating for a long time. The staple food is soaked. The invention of this good wife not only allowed her husband to study hard without any worries, and finally won the gold medal, but also left a traditional delicacy for future generations.

The origin of the name——

There are many theories. One theory is that the wife has to cross a bridge when delivering rice noodles to her husband. So when the husband asked his wife what the name of this novel way of eating was, the wife made up the name "Crossing the Bridge Rice Noodles". Another theory is that the name comes from the way rice noodles are eaten. Because you have to carry fresh rice noodles from one bowl to another bowl filled with soup, the process is similar to flying across a bridge between two bowls, so it is called "crossing the bridge rice noodles".

There is also a theory that the wife fell while crossing the bridge to deliver food to her husband, and the hot broth in her basket accidentally spilled into the raw meat in the bowl. Later, when I opened it, I found that the meat was cooked and tasted delicious. Because it originated from a fall while crossing a bridge, this way of eating rice noodles was named Crossing Bridge Rice Noodles.

There is another saying that once when a wife was delivering rice to her husband, she accidentally fell down on a bridge and spilled all the soup in the rice noodles. So she scooped some water from the river and added it to the river. Got in. After the husband finished eating, he noticed that the taste was not right, so he asked his wife what kind of rice noodles it was. When my wife got nervous, she made up a random name and said it was Cross-Bridge Rice Noodles. That's how Cross-Bridge Rice Noodles came about.

Another way of saying it is that my husband is working outside and I am waiting for him to come back. I cook a bowl of rice noodles and cross the bridge every day, waiting for my husband to come back. But before my husband could wait, someone passed by the bridge and smelled the fragrance of rice noodles, and he started selling rice noodles and became famous.
