On March 31, Yibin City, Southern Sichuan, "Yibin Noodle College" was officially unveiled.

The news immediately drew a lot of ridicule and questions: can a bowl of burning noodles support a college? Do you really need to be born in a science class to make noodles?

Netizens with big brains have followed the post: next you can open Lizhuang White Meat College, Meishan Kimchi College, Yunnan Bridge Rice Noodle College, Lanzhou Ramen College, Chongqing Hot Pot College, Chengdu Husband and Wife Lung Film College...

In the face of ridicule and doubts, the relevant person in charge of Yibin Burning Noodle College explained that the complete name of Yibin Burning Noodle College should be "Yibin Vocational and Technical College burning noodle college", which is a subordinate college of Wuliangye Technology and Food Engineering College under Yibin Vocational and Technical College, "is the yibin noodle series of Yibin noodles based on the history of local snacks, skill inheritance, management and marketing and other systematic courses, the most important of which is vocational skills training." ”

Aiming at the scale of tens of billions of industries Yibin should make the burning noodles into a city business card

Yibin City is located at the confluence of Jinsha River and Minjiang River, and has the reputation of "the first city of the Yangtze River". The developed inland waterway shipping has cultivated the typical dock culture of the city, and has also formed many local snacks that are inseparable from the dock culture, yibin noodles are one of them.

Yibin burning noodles were originally named Xufu burning noodles, formerly known as fritter noodles, because of their oil weight and no water, ignition is ignited, so the name of burning noodles. After hundreds of years of inheritance, Yibin noodles have become a unique local snack, and in 2011, it was included in the list of intangible cultural heritage of Sichuan Province.

Stroll through the streets and alleys of Yibin, where you can see burning noodle signs everywhere. The breakfast of Yibin people is also mainly based on burning noodles.

In 2017, the Yibin Municipal Government promoted the development of the burning noodle industry at a high level, established the "Yibin Burning Noodles" National Geographical Indication Product Protection Declaration Leading Group, formulated the "Yibin Burning Noodles Industry Development Plan (2017-2021)", and laid out the industrial status, development goals, development ideas, key tasks and safeguard measures, and strived to form an industrial scale of 10 billion yuan by 2021, making Yibin burning noodles the third city business card after Yibin wine and Yibin tea.

Yibin Noodle Inheritor: It only takes 6 days to master the basic skills

Cao Zhiqing, 70 years old this year, entered the former Yibin Catering Service Company as an apprentice at the age of 17, and learned the inheritance skills of burning noodles according to the company's arrangement in 1975, and has been with burning noodles for more than 40 years.

"Yibin Burn is very strict in the face of various raw materials, especially secret soy sauce and sesame oil fried with a variety of spices, which is the key to the rich taste of burn noodles." After years of exploration, Cao Zhiqing has explored a complete set of methods in the selection of raw materials, oil temperature control, spice addition time, noodle boiling time, and selection of sprouts and chives. In 2016, Cao Zhiqing was named a representative inheritor of Yibin's traditional noodle making skills by the then Sichuan Provincial Department of Culture, and he has also appeared on CCTV's Intangible Cultural Heritage and Food column many times.

After the establishment of Yibin Burnt Noodle College, Cao Zhiqing was hired as a visiting professor to teach courses related to the burnt noodle process.

Cao Zhiqing said that in recent years, he has often been invited by various places to teach Yibin noodle making skills to independent entrepreneurs such as migrant workers. "As long as you study hard, you can master the basic skills in 6 days."

Cao Zhiqing said, of course, if you want to master all the skills of Yibin noodles and become a high-level noodle craftsman, it will take longer.

Cao Zhiqing hopes that in the process of teaching the cooking noodle craft skills at the Burning Noodle Academy, he will be able to find good seedlings and cultivate successors for the next generation of non-genetic inheritance of burning noodles.

The owner of the noodle shop laughed dumbly: I have been doing it for decades, can't I be a professor?

"Burning Noodle Academy? Oh. On April 6, an old noodle restaurant on the north bank of the Minjiang River in Yibin, the owner, Mr. Zeng, said that he was dumbfounded when he talked about this topic, "Burning noodles can set up a college, then I have been doing burning noodles for decades, can't I go to be a professor?" ”

Yibin Vocational and Technical College is located on the banks of the Jinsha River, approved by the Sichuan Provincial People's Government in 2002, and was formed by the merger of Yibin Agricultural School, Yibin Industrial (Agricultural Machinery) School and Yibin Adult Secondary Professional School. According to the information on the official website of the school, the college covers an area of 829 acres, with more than 700 faculty members and more than 13,000 students. The total value of teaching instruments and equipment is nearly 110 million yuan, and there are 12 second-level colleges.

The relevant person in charge of the asset management company of Yibin Vocational and Technical College, which participated in the preparation of the Burning Noodle College, introduced to the West China Metropolis Daily and the cover news reporter that the full name of the Yibin Burning Noodle College is "Yibin Vocational and Technical College Of Burning Noodles", which is a subordinate college of Wuliangye Technology and Food Engineering College, a subordinate college of Yibin Vocational and Technical College.

"Isn't that equivalent to a major in Wuliangye Academy?" In the face of the reporter's questions, the person in charge said that the college was established after approval by the education administrative department, so there was no problem in the establishment procedure.

Broaden the employment channels for students In addition to the burning surface process, there is also business management

According to reports, yibin burning noodle college has not yet started after the unveiling, and the college's sign is currently hanging in a canteen in area A of Yibin vocational and technical college. "In the early days, we mainly conducted free training for school students, in order to let students master one more vocational skills in labor and broaden the path for future employment." Chen Huan, chairman and general manager of the asset management company of Yibin Vocational and Technical College, said that in addition, the college will also carry out training work for those who have the intention of starting their own business and re-employment.

Chen Huan said that the establishment of the Burning Noodles College is mainly to cooperate with the development strategy of "10 billion burning noodles industry" of the Yibin Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government, large-scale training of catering professional and technical talents led by burning noodles, the development of burning noodles series products, the opening of Yibin burning noodle chain franchise stores, and the expansion and strengthening of the Yibin burning noodles industry.

How about a college with a specialization of at least three years, a labor skill that only takes a few days or a few months to master? After graduation, will students become "koban noodle masters" as netizens ridicule?

Chen Huan said that in the early days of the college, it was mainly based on short-term training, and the complete professional curriculum is still being improved. "In addition to courses such as burn noodle technology, burning noodle history and culture, and nutritional composition analysis of burning noodles, a series of courses related to the operation of burning noodles need to be mastered, such as marketing management, promotion and publicity, and even store selection and decoration." To put it bluntly, we just want to take the burning noodles as the leader and cultivate high-level catering management talents, not just to cultivate a noodle master. ”

What diplomas do students at The Burnt Noodle Academy get after graduation? "At present, only students can be issued with a certificate of labor skills issued by the vocational and technical college." Chen Huan said.
