1, Qin Zhen rice skin originated from Qin Shihuang period.
Legend has it that when Qin Shihuang, there was no harvest in a year of drought, and no rice was paid. At that time, the punishment was harsh, and the villagers were all afraid, so they asked a squire for advice. The next day, the squire figured out how to make cold rice noodles and pay tribute! Soak the aged rice overnight, grind it into slurry, precipitate, skim the supernatant, steam it in a cage, and add various seasonings to make Qin Zhen cold rice noodles. Qin Shihuang tasted it, and it was soft, smooth, sour and delicious. Under the great joy, he was exempted from the tax of that year, and designated Qin Zhen cold rice noodles as a royal tribute from now on.
2. Hanzhong rice noodles originated from the Qin and Han Dynasties.
According to legend, Liu Bang was king in Hanzhong, and ordered Xiao He to build Shanhe Dam, and the grain was harvested year after year. In order to improve their lives, farmers dilute flour with water, steam it into pancakes, cut it into strips and eat it cold. It tastes delicious. One day, Liu Bang went traveling incognito and entered the people's home, and the hospitable farmers entertained him with cold steamed cakes. Liu Bang praised it while eating. When asked about the name, the farmer couldn't say it. Liu Bang laughed at the making method and said casually, "This is steamed cake." Later, people switched to overlapping bamboo cages, which could steam several sheets at a time, and were large and thin. Cut into thin strips, the tendons are flexible, soft and continuous, just like pimps, renamed "dough".
