The story of Qianlong and Zhang's sister-in-law noodle shop
Zhenjiang's noodles at that time were not rolled out by hand, but people sat on a long rolling pin, "jumped" on the reconciled rolling table and pressed into thin slices, and then cut them with a knife, so that the "jumped" noodles were extremely flexible, called "jumping noodles".
In the sixteenth year of Qianlong (1751), the Qianlong Emperor went down to Jiangnan for the first time, and Weifu took an entourage of eunuchs to the south along the ancient canal from Xijindu to the shore, all the way to Zhenjiang's most famous Zhang sister-in-law noodle shop and sat down.
The sister-in-law Zhang, who moves sharply, works quickly, is polite and dignified, and is serving tea and handing hot towels. Qianlong's entourage passed down the words: "I want to eat Zhenjiang noodles!" Sister-in-law Zhang immediately ordered, but the face inside had not yet jumped.
Sister-in-law Zhang urged her husband, who was still jumping: "Quick, move faster!" The husband was stunned: "Am I not the same as usual?" Sister-in-law Zhang quickly added some firewood to the stove, feeling that the fire was burning, and soon the water in the pot finally boiled, and her husband's noodles were cut.
At this time, the entourage came in again to urge, Zhang Sister-in-law was grabbing a handful of noodles into the pot, while talking back, she quickly covered the lid of the pot, and in the midst of the chaos, she put the small lid of the soup pot into the noodle pot. Before Sister-in-law Zhang put the ingredients in place, the water in the pot rolled away again, straight up, and Sister-in-law Zhang quickly scooped two spoons of warm water in the soup jar with a spoon and poured it, and the noodle pot calmed down. As soon as the water was boiled again, Sister-in-law Zhang fished the noodles into the bowl with a small bamboo cage and long chopsticks. The attendant took the bowl out with one hand.
Sister-in-law Zhang, who had been busy for a while, leaned outside the door, saw the Qianlong Emperor eating noodles, and said in a loud voice: "The taste is good, the taste is good, it is not rotten, it is not hard, and the fragrance is refreshing!" Sister-in-law Zhang was turning around to go under the edge of the pot, when the Qianlong Emperor actually paced in, saw the lid of the pot in the pot and exclaimed: "How do you put the lid of the pot inside the pot and boil it?!" ”
At this time, Sister-in-law Zhang found that she was busy using the small pot lid as a large pot lid and boiling it in the pot. At this moment, the husband came over and said: "Everyone outside customers said that today's noodles taste particularly good, what good ingredients did you add?" Sister-in-law Zhang pointed to the small pot lid and said, "I'm afraid it's because the noodle pot is boiling the lid inside?" ”
Qianlong patronized the Zhenjiang noodle shop and even said two stories of good taste spread, Qianlong was even the royal gift of "the first side of the world", since then Zhenjiang pot cover noodles reputation has been greatly enhanced, has been passed down to this day.

Unexpectedly, the noodles cooked in this way taste surprisingly good. There are small holes in the noodles pressed with bamboo, the marinade is flavorful, the noodles repeatedly pressed by thick bamboo bars are chewy and energetic, and the noodles cooked under the lid are cooked but not rotten.
