In Guanzhong, many people are industrious and simple, all of them are frugal and frugal, and their sexual toughness and open-mindedness are open-minded.
Guanzhong people three meals a day, the most like noodles, and to eat noodles as a pride, noodles variety, taste is different, noodles to Qishan Zhenzi noodles, Wugong flag flower noodles as representatives.
Wugong flag flower noodles, mainly hand-rolled noodles, green onions, fine rapeseed oil and chicken shredded cheeks. The names of the flags and flowers vary from place to place in Wugong. The four towns of Suwuyou and Puji are called Qihua noodles; the Jia Changning River channel of the Zhenyuan Dynasty is called tangtang noodles or long noodles; and the townships such as Nanren Dazhuang in the small village of Puji Street are called Zhenzi noodles or clear soup noodles. Among them, the flag flower noodles in the three towns of Suwuyou have the highest level, the best taste, and the most authentic method. The rest of the townships are not so, the method is simpler.
What is "Flag Face"? Who first proposed the name, and what is its implication? No one explains! However, some people explain that the diamond-shaped egg cake on the soup is like a flag flower, so it is called "flag flower noodles" or "strange flower noodles". This explanation is stupid. What should the correct explanation be?
Wugong flag flower noodles have a long history, unique taste, whether soup and noodles and exquisite, there is culture, so after hundreds of years of inheritance so far, wide influence, reputation, has become a famous food in Guanzhong, become a part of the martial arts culture, but also become the memory of all martial arts people deep nostalgia and can not forget the taste memory. This side is already on a par with the Qishan Face. The most important and critical ingredient in Qishan noodles is the unique Qishan meat noodles, which have become the key elements in Qishan noodles. So, what are the key elements in the martial arts flag flower?
There is no doubt that it should be noodles!
The quality of the wugong flag flower surface is good or bad, all on the surface. For hundreds of years, people are eating noodles rather than drinking soup, and the soup in the flag flower noodles is only an auxiliary role, which can only be regarded as an auxiliary ingredient, and will not be the "protagonist" in this noodle. Since the protagonist in the wugong flag flower should be the face, how should the word "flag flower" be interpreted?
Before the mechanism surface appeared, the martial artists ate the flag flower face and rolled it all by hand. After hand rolling noodles and noodles, you have to roll them on the case, rolling noodles is a hard job, but also a technical job, not something that anyone can complete, if you want to roll out a good noodle, you must exert strength and ingenuity. In this way, the noodles can roll back and forth regularly on the rolling stick, and the noodles will be slowly spread out evenly, and the face can be picked up with the rolling stick like a big flag, whirring, translucent, and continuous. Therefore, the correct interpretation of the word "flag" in "flag flower face" should be "rolled out like a flag". How should the word "flower" in "flag flower face" be interpreted? In fact, the word "flower" should refer to the floating objects in the soup, green onions, oil flowers and egg flowers. This should be the most reasonable explanation for the "martial arts flag flower face".
Wugong flag flower noodles, mainly composed of two ingredients, one is noodles and the other is soup, the two are combined into one, complement each other, only to make people tongue-tied, can't stop.
The soup of Wugong Flag Flower Noodles is mainly composed of fresh chicken soup, semi-cooked rapeseed oil, spring onions after autumn, Changning vinegar and chicken shredded cheeks. For the boiling of chicken soup, it is necessary to use an old hen that is more than three years old, slaughtered and put into a cold water pot, the water in the pot should be just past the chicken body, and the aluminum pot is preferred. After the high heat is boiled and the floating ale is removed, immediately turn to a low heat and add a pot to cover the slow simmer, when the chicken is six or seven ripe, add the appropriate amount of salt and a small amount of white pepper, other spices are not added to the soup, when the eight or nine are ripe, fish out the chicken, let the chicken soup cool for later. Then, the cooked chicken breast is torn into strips and set aside.
Put the best local rapeseed into a hot pot and heat it for five matures, turn off the heat, pour it into the utensils to set aside, then open the hot pot pole and pour in more wugong Changning grain vinegar, and then turn off the heat after the vinegar boils.
Boil the pot, pour a little rapeseed oil after the pot is hot, sprinkle a small amount of green onion and stir-fry incense, add the hand-torn chicken shreds and the foamed kelp shreds and stir-fry, then add a large amount of boiled chicken soup, let the chicken shreds in the chicken soup and then fully re-cook, so that the chicken shreds are more fragrant.
In a large pot, add enough water, boil and add a large amount of chicken soup, immediately after the soup is boiled, pour in cooked vinegar, a small amount of pepper, etc., turn off the low heat and sprinkle the cut green onions and egg flowers, pour in the cooking oil and cover the pot lid, simmer for about ten minutes, the soup only rolls and does not boil as well. Wugong flag flower noodle soup pays attention to the bottom of the idle taste, sour taste, chicken soup for fresh, onion flavor Titian, vegetable oil to add color to Titian, after giving the full heat, all the ingredients in this soup after a long time of simmering, will be fully integrated, forming a unique and tempting delicacy, so that diners bowl after bowl of food, want to stop.
In recent years, with the continuous deepening of the promotion of wugong tourism, the wugong flag flower surface is also famous, and it has the potential to replace the Qishan Zhenzi noodles and dominate the party. There are many flag flower noodle houses in Wugong Ancient Town and Wugong County, but they are not authentic, and some noodle shops make flag flowers that are disgusting and difficult to swallow. In fact, the best place for the wugong flag should be in the area of Suwuyou. The flag flower noodles made by the chefs here are the best way to eat and authentic, and they are willing to use ingredients. Martial arts are more famous such as, Wugong Town Red and White Celebration Service Team, Zhenyuan Town Mazhuang Red and White Celebration Service Team, Hehe SitRong Red and White Celebration Service Team, etc., their flag and flower face methods are also authentic taste good monument good.
There are many stories and legends about the martial arts flag and flower face, which will be recounted later.
