At that time, "Ryusu noodles" were made. Just cook it with water and then change the method of baking it. Therefore, it is called "baked noodles".
According to legend, when Empress Dowager Cixi of the Qing Dynasty fled, she stayed in Kaifeng, and the famous chefs of Kaifeng Province paid tribute to "sweet and sour boiled fish" and "baked noodles". After Cixi saw this, she said on a whim that the carp was lying quietly on the plate, probably asleep, and should be covered with a quilt to avoid getting cold.
