1. Hot dry noodles are a specialty of Wuhan.

2. Its origin is in the early 1930s. There was a food vendor named Li Bao in Changdi Street, Hankou, who made a living selling jelly and soup noodles in the Guandi Temple area.

3. One day, the weather was extremely hot, and a lot of leftover noodles were not sold out. I was afraid that the noodles would go rancid, so I cooked the leftover noodles, drained them, and dried them on the chopping board.

4. I accidentally knocked over the oil pot on the table and poured sesame oil on the noodles.

5. Li Bao had no choice but to mix the noodles with oil and let them dry again.

6. The next morning, Li Bao scalded the cooked noodles mixed with oil in boiling water, took them out, drained them and put them into a bowl, then added the seasonings used to sell jelly and made them steaming hot. The aroma is overwhelming.

7. People rush to buy.

8. Someone asked what kind of noodles they were selling, and they said they were "hot dry noodles."

9. From then on, he specialized in selling this kind of noodles. Not only did people compete to taste it, but many people also learned from him.

10. A man surnamed Cai opened a hot-dry noodle shop at the Manchun intersection of Zhongshan Avenue. It was named "Cai Lin Ji", which means prosperous financial resources, and became a famous hot-dry noodle shop in Wuhan.

11. Later it moved to Zhongshan Avenue opposite Hankou Tower and changed its name to Wuhan Hot Dry Noodles.
