it is said that the first bowl of Hou' an noodle soup comes from the bright noodle soup shop located in Hou' an town farmers' market.
At that time, fishermen went out to sea in the cold morning, and when they landed, everyone really wanted to have a warm breakfast. So, a villager cooked hot soup at home, and when the fishermen went ashore, they added fresh fish, shrimps and rice noodles that local residents loved to eat to the soup and cooked it for a while, which was quick and warm. Over time, this kind of noodle soup has been welcomed by more and more people, and it has gradually become popular in villages and towns from the seaside.

Especially the crabs produced in Gangbei Village and Lequn Village of Hele Town have the characteristics of "red back and belly, full of cream". The golden and shiny grease almost fills the crab cover, just like salted duck egg yolk, which is rich in nutrition. The reason why Hele Crab is plump and delicious is mainly because the Sun River, Longshou River and Longwei River converge into the small sea, and the current is peaceful and salty, and a large number of seaweed and seaweed grow on the seabed, which provides a rich food source for crabs.

3. Wanning pork intestines have been passed down for a hundred years
Coconut shredded glutinous rice rolls are found in Hainan province, but they are called "pork intestines" only in Wanning. Beimen Village, Wancheng Town, Wanning City is the only place where pork intestines are produced.
It is said that this special food was introduced into Wanning with Fujian immigrants in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. In ancient times, because of the limited preservation conditions, fishermen who went out to sea often went hungry because of food deterioration. Fishermen's wives found that Ciba made of glutinous rice was both resistant to storage and hunger, so Ciba became a necessary food for fishermen when they went out to sea.
The production process of pork intestines is complicated, and it needs main materials, auxiliary materials and ingredients such as glutinous rice, coconut, sugar, white sesame, ginger, peanuts and lard.
Now, I'm afraid Master Yan Jiaxing is the only one who can cook pork intestines with a length of 1 meters. At 7 o'clock every morning, Master Yan always appears at the intersection of Hongzhuan Street and the second market in Wancheng Town, and puts out three pork intestines for sale. He doesn't have to shout and sell, and people will soon buy all the pork intestines.
The old master's craft was handed down by his father, and roughly speaking, it has a history of one hundred years. The pork intestines made by Yan family have accompanied Wanning people from generation to generation, which is a nostalgia that many people can't give up. However, due to the time-consuming and laborious production and low profit, no one is willing to take over his craft.
