This diary is about Grade One. The title is "This is the smell". Everyone is welcome to contribute enthusiastically.

Part of the secret of success in life is to eat what you like and then let the food fight to the end in your stomach. This is a sentence from Mark Twain, and I agree with it very much, because I am also a food fan. I've eaten it all over the country, such as roast mutton in Mongolia, salted fish cake in Dalian, donkey meat cold salad in Xi 'an ... but none of them can get into my eyes, except the paste noodles, which I'll never forget. I'm from Henan, so it's good.

The main ingredient of the batter is noodles, but the most important thing is the ingredient paste. The batter is delicious only when it is cooked. Let's make the batter first. When pulping, first soak mung beans or peas in water, put them on a stone mill and grind them into coarse pulp, filter them with gauze to remove residues, and then put them into a pot or jar. After a day or two, the slurry is fermented and turned sour, and the slurry is ready. When cooking, when the sour slurry is poured into a pot and boiled to 80℃, a layer of foam appears on the surface of the slurry. At this time, you should pat the pulp gently with a spoon. After the pulp foam disappears, the pulp becomes fine and smooth, and then rolls down. Add seasonings such as onion, ginger, peanut, sesame, celery and pepper according to personal taste. As soon as the condiment is put into the club, it smells everywhere and can be eaten after a while.

You will soon present a bowl of one product, which is the characteristic of Luoyang. At the first bite, the fragrance overflows and fills your mouth. The second bite of noodles is slippery, and you will feel relaxed all over. The third bite is sour, which makes your appetite big. Then you will take one bite after another and fall in love with the smell.

You eat first, and I'll tell you about the origin of the paste noodles: According to legend, during the Ming Dynasty, there was a man named Shi in this county who opened a restaurant and his business was booming. One year, the wheat crop failed and the peas were bumper. The restaurant sells pea noodle rice every day, and the business has been sluggish for some time. One day, an imperial envoy from Beijing took his entourage through this restaurant for dinner. The owner was in a hurry because he didn't have any rice dishes. When he saw the broken peas in the basin and the noodles on the table, he was anxious. He used pepper leaves and agastache as ingredients, pea paste as noodle soup, and a pot of pea paste. The imperial envoy was very satisfied after eating. Since then, the shopkeeper has put batter on the menu, and the business of the small shop has flourished again. Since then, this kind of paste noodles has become a famous food in Henan.

The batter not only tastes good, but also represents the folk characteristics of Henan. Whether you like it or not, I'm sure that's the smell anyway.
