Introduction to scallion rolls

Hanamaki is a pasta similar to steamed buns and steamed buns. It is an ancient Han Chinese pasta, a classic and homely staple food. It can be made into various flavors such as salt and pepper, sesame sauce, scallion oil and so on. Rich in nutrients, delicious and simple to make. Make the noodles into thin slices, mix the seasonings, roll them into a hemisphere, and steam them. According to legend, during the Three Kingdoms period, Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of the Shu Kingdom, led his troops to attack the Southern Barbarians. He captured and surrendered the barbarian general Meng Huo seven times, making Meng Huo finally surrender. Zhuge Liang's troops had to pass through Lu River on their way back to the court. When the army's chariots and horses were preparing to cross the river, suddenly a strong wind blew up, waves hit thousands of feet, ghosts cried and wolves howled, and the army was unable to cross the river. At this time, Zhuge Liang summoned Meng Huo to ask why. It turned out that the two armies were at war and the fallen soldiers were unable to return to their hometowns to reunite with their families, so they created trouble on the river to prevent the soldiers from returning. If the army wants to cross the river, it must sacrifice 49 heads of barbarian soldiers to the river to ensure calm. Zhuge Liang thought to himself: Death and casualties are inevitable in the battle between the two armies. How can we kill 49 more lives? Thinking of this, he came up with a plan, that is, he ordered the cook to use rice flour as a skin and fill it with the meat of black cattle and white sheep to shape 49 human heads. Then, they set up the incense table and sprinkle wine to worship the river. From then on, the term "steamed buns" became popular among the people, and Zhuge Liang was also revered as the founder of the dough-making industry. Lang Ying of the Ming Dynasty recorded in his notes "Seven Revised Drafts": "The original name of steamed buns is Mantou. Human heads were used as sacrifices to gods in barbarian lands. During Zhuge's campaign against Meng Huo, he ordered bread and meat to be used as human heads as sacrifices. It is called 'Mantou'. Today It’s called steamed buns by mistake.” After all, the steamed buns created by Zhuge Liang contain beef and mutton fillings, and the process is complicated and expensive. Therefore, later generations omitted the filling process and became steamed buns. Those with fillings become steamed buns, and those with many wrinkles like blooming flowers are named "Hanamaki"
