Northwest Jin is rich in wheat, and people in northwestErn Jin also love to eat noodles. Far from home, eating an authentic noodle has become a luxury, and the strong, fragrant smell of steamed noodles has always tempted my taste buds. I am attached to the mellow and delicious noodles of The Northwest of Jin, and I can't help but think of the renovated and tireless noodles of the Northwest of Jin.
The sweetness of the northwestern Jin dynasty is derived from the unique water and soil of the northwestern Jin, condensing more hardships than other crops. So add a unique fortitude and endurance. This fortitude and endurance are integrated into the bones of every Jinbei person together with the unique nutrients in the noodles. Therefore, the character of the people in the northwest of Jin also has a facetious personality. According to the "Shanxi Provincial Chronicle", the wheat has a long history of cultivation in China for more than 2500 years, called Jiashi in the Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic, called Si in the "History", and the scientific name is oats. The climate in northwest Jinxi is cool and the rainfall is moderate, so the wheat has chosen the northwest of Jin, and the people of the northwest of Jin have also chosen the wheat, which is really the best choice made by the heavens.
The flour made of wheat milled is called noodles, and the processing of noodles is very complicated, and all the grains in the world are not as complicated as flour noodles when processing flour. First of all, the wheat should be sieved clean, removing the impurities such as gravel and soil blocks, called "sieving the wheat"; then it is necessary to clean the wheat with water to remove the dust on the surface of the wheat, called "tao cunei"; the washed and clean cherweed is dried and then fried, called "fried cherry"; the fried quinoa is ground into noodles called "grinding yarrow", "sieve, panning, frying, grinding" is the unique four processes of processing the noodles. The grains are spindle-shaped, with a groin, the top is covered with fine fur, commonly known as "quinoa hair", if the skin is stained with "quinoa hair", it will make you itchy, and it will be red and swollen, all the adults are looking for hordes, stir-frying gnome, we hide far away.
Especially when frying the wheat, the adults set up a simple pot stove in the yard, armed themselves before frying the wheat, wrapped themselves in a turban, put on gloves, tightened the cuffs, and repeatedly told the children not to get close, we also know the strength of the wheat hair, and when we saw the situation, we had already fled. Despite this, we, especially the grown-ups, will always learn the all-pervasive magic of the woolly hair. Therefore, my villagers from the field, threshing, harvesting until the panning of wheat, stir-frying, each process completed, will experience the pain of being invaded by the wool of the barley. Every farmer in northwestErn Jin has a love for the wheat, and the complex emotion of hatred for the wheat hair, it is in this interweaving of love and hate that the people of the northwest of Jinxi have established a deep affection with the noodles.
From the wheat to the noodle rice to go through "three raw and three cooked", that is, one stir-fried, two hot and three steamed, so that you can eat the noodles. The fried wheat grains are crisp and raw and very sweet to eat, so when the farmers process and make the noodles, they specially fry some wheat grains for children to eat, and when we were children, we used to put the fried wheat in our pockets as snacks, just like children eat pots and pans now. Fully fried gnocchi ground noodles are fried noodles, is a convenient emergency food, in the busy agricultural season is very practical, it can be eaten dry, can also be mixed with water to eat, it can be seen that the hometown farmers are extremely smart, this food is said to continue for thousands of years, far earlier than the current instant noodles and canned, biscuits. When I was in middle school, I always brought some fried noodles with me every week when I came home. After the fried half-cooked cherbee noodles are ground, the noodles are put into the basin, boiling water is injected at once, and the hot noodles are kneaded at once, which requires a certain amount of endurance.
Good noodles can make many kinds of tricks, noodle nests, fish, feeding, taking cakes... Jin Northwest daughter-in-law made a good hand of noodles, take a small ball of noodles on the smooth stone slab with the palm of the hand to push into a thin slice, pick up and gently roll with the index finger, it is made into a noodle nest (because the shape resembles a cat's ears, so it is also called hairy ears) one after another, lined up, much like a huge honeycomb; put two pieces of noodles on the palm of the two hands on the board, there are eight thin silk noodle strips flowing out of the finger seams, soft and even, like the velvet thread spun by the loom; in addition, you can also rub out fish and fish, press out slender bird dumplings. Matching the noodles with potatoes can be made into yam caviar and yam cakes; the noodles can also be matched with sorghum noodles and cornmeal to improve the taste and taste. When steaming the noodles, be sure to put the yam with the noodles and sand, so that it will taste sweeter. To eat noodles, there must be "soup", "soup" has cold and hot. The simplest is the salty soup of pickles pickled in farmhouses, which is most common in times of poverty. The top grade is lamb mushroom soup. There are also stews, eggs and tomatoes. Any kind of noodle practice that matches any kind of condiment can give rise to a new way of eating, a new art of food, and what kind of food has such virtue? The noodles are not too poor to love the rich, not still high and low, giving every housewife the spirit of cooking, and giving sincere returns to the people of The Northwest Jin.
The proportion of people suffering from hypertension, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and diabetes in northwestErn Jin is very low, and the results of modern scientific and technological research believe that this is related to long-term eating of noodles. It is the most nutritious of all crops. Its protein content is high, the composition of eight amino acids is more balanced, the lysine content is higher than that of rice and wheat flour, and the fat and heat energy are high. In addition, the noodles are rich in vitaminS B1, B2, E, folic acid, etc., which can improve blood circulation and alleviate the pressure caused by life and work; the minerals containing calcium, phosphorus, iron, zinc, manganese and other minerals have the effect of preventing osteoporosis, promoting wound healing and preventing anemia. Rich in nutrients, moisturizing generations of People in Northwest Jin. The people of northwestErn Jin harvested wheat in hardship, and the wheat repaid the sincere love of the people of northwestern Jin.
In the past, noodles were a common meal for people in northwestErn Jinxi, but now it is the opposite, eating a meal of noodles is as fresh as eating dumplings in the past, and noodles have become a delicacy on the table today, becoming the most classic hospitality of people in northwestern Jin. Now there are more and more coarse grain-based restaurants in the city, and the business is becoming more and more prosperous, especially the "Noodle Restaurant" is loved by everyone, and from time to time to eat a meal, feel the special flavor, let people taste endlessly. Chinese food culture has a deep heritage and a long history, and the noodles in the northwest of Jinxi are no exception, and the noodles in the northwest of Jinxi are the magnificent songs in the food culture of the northwest of Jinxi, and the sons and daughters of the northwest of Jinxi have carefully tasted this complex that will never be released... The thick fragrance still lingers in the heart, and the lips and teeth remain fragrant.
