Xiao Honghe, the founder of Xiao Ji Hui Mian, was once a chef of Zhengzhou State-owned Changchun Hotel. After retirement, he led his two sons to open the Hui noodle restaurant. He didn't follow the traditional mutton Huimian Noodles style, but found inspiration from his famous face, and added delicious and nutritious sea cucumber and squid to the mutton Huimian Noodles, which is called Sanxian Huimian Noodles.
When 1986 first opened, it didn't even have a store. It started with a canvas tent, a low table, a bench and a pot of soup. With a flick of a finger, today's Xiaoji, only its head office pays profits and taxes to the country every year, exceeding 6,543,800 yuan!
Many people have the same memory. At that time, Xiao Ji Huimian Noodles Pavilion was opened in the triangle at the intersection of Renmin Road and DongTaikang Road, and it was open all night. On a snowy night, three or two confidants gather here, calling for a plate of shredded red bean paste and a plate of roast mutton, and a bowl of steaming three-fresh noodles is placed in front of everyone. Even a bottle of the most common white wine can make you have unlimited pleasure!
It is said that the origin of the emblem is also related to War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression. During his stay in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, Japanese planes often attacked Zhengzhou. At that time, there was a chef named Zhao. One day, the Eighth Route Army came to his noodle restaurant to eat noodles, which coincided with the bombing of Japanese planes. The noodles became cold after escaping the bombing. Chef Zhao had to put the cold noodles in the boiling mutton soup and cook for a while. The soldiers found the re-stewed noodles delicious, too. Later, chef Zhao devoted himself to research, put some salt and alkali in it to make it thicker, and made noodles with different tastes, which later became a popular flavor food. Gu Qingsheng, a writer, learned this legend when he was eating noodles in Zhengzhou. He suggested opening a noodle restaurant in Tokyo, Japan, so that the Japanese can also eat noodles, and then told them that noodles are a witness food for your Japanese invasion of China and give the Japanese people a peace education. This proposal is much stronger than the words of patriotic fighters who bloodbath Tokyo.
