From the birth and development of "crossing the bridge rice noodles", what is the inheritance and carrier of Yunnan food culture?

When it comes to Yunnan, it is inevitable to mention Kunming, the picturesque Lijiang, and Dali, the business capital that people are reluctant to leave. Yunnan's environment and climate are the highest in the country, so there is no need to introduce them.

Today we are going to talk about Yunnan cuisine. Everyone in Yunnan has a different taste of Yunnan. Some people say that the flower cakes are crispy, some people say that the fried potatoes are spicy and delicious, some people say that the steamed fish bait is soft and glutinous, others say that it is all kinds of delicious food, and many people have a special liking for crossing the bridge rice noodles.

For me, crossing the bridge rice noodles is homesickness. Time is always hard to study and work thousands of miles away. Not used to eating, not used to living and not used to people. Even if the long journey finally landed at the airport, the warm wind blowing on my face quietly told me: you are home. But I'm always a little nervous. I'm afraid it's the scene in that dream. I didn't really believe that I really went home until the bowl of hot rice noodles was served, and the oil was removed with chopsticks to let the hot air slip out and eat the rice noodles in my mouth.

So what are some anecdotes about crossing the bridge rice noodles that people have to remember? Today, we will return to Mengzi, Yunnan, to see how this kind of rice noodle crossing the bridge is formed.

First, the birth and development of crossing the bridge rice noodles

There are always many beautiful legends about crossing the bridge rice noodles, which were created by a beautiful and virtuous wife for her husband. It can be said that it adds a touch of warm color to crossing the bridge rice noodles.

Legend 1: According to legend, in the Qing Dynasty, a young man in Mengzi, Yunnan, was inspired by the imperial examination and moved to an island in the lake alone. There is a pavilion on the island called "Pavilion in the Lake". The island has lush trees and a very quiet environment, separated from the land by only a bridge. So teenagers study hard here day after day. The virtuous and kind wife at home is very distressed by her husband, so she cooks a meal for him every day, but the island is far from home. By then, the food was cold and the husband could only eat a few mouthfuls. Soon after, the husband became thinner and thinner, and his wife was very distressed.

One day, my wife killed the chicken raised at home, made chicken soup with casserole and brought some vegetables and rice noodles to her husband. The husband was also surprised to eat hot dishes, his appetite increased greatly and his body slowly recovered. In the end, her husband lived up to expectations and was finally admitted to the top spot. Neighbors and classmates rushed to congratulate. The husband set up a sumptuous banquet, and the wife brought the rice noodles to the table. After eating, all the guests were surprised and asked their wives, "What is this?" The wife had a brainwave and blurted out: "Crossing the bridge rice noodles."

Since then, crossing the bridge rice noodles has taken root and sprouted in Yunnan as a kind of delicious food suitable for all ages.

Legend 2: According to legend, there is a scholar who is very active, likes to have fun and doesn't care much about getting fame. He has a wife and a son. The wife is virtuous, gentle, beautiful and generous, and the son is still young. The wife was so worried that she couldn't sleep at night, so she said to the scholar, "You really have the courage to have fun all day. Have you ever thought about your wife and children? " The scholar was ashamed to hear that. A few days later, the scholar built a study in Nanhu, determined to study hard and study hard.

Seeing her husband's change, the wife is also very pleased, so she walks several times a day to deliver food to her husband. Scholars have made great progress in their studies, but their bodies are getting thinner. The wife was distressed to see her husband's belt widen. So the wife prepared all kinds of nutritious food for her husband to supplement her body.

My wife slaughtered the chicken at home to make soup, and prepared all kinds of vegetable slices and meat slices. The son was very naughty and put the meat slices directly into the chicken soup. The wife was furious. I picked up the sliced meat and tasted it. I thought it was delicious. I was so happy that I took my son with me to deliver the meal.

However, the wife who worked hard day after day fainted on the bridge because of exhaustion. Only when the scholar heard the news did his wife wake up. She went up to him and found that the chicken soup in the casserole was still warm. The scholar was surprised and asked his wife how to cook this delicious food. The wife gave a detailed explanation. The scholar marveled at his wife's skill and said, "Is this dish called crossing the bridge rice noodles?"

Finally, under the careful care of his wife, the scholar's body gradually recovered and he was finally admitted to Juren. The news spread all over the neighborhood, and all the streets and alleys were talking about it. Since then, the reputation of crossing the bridge rice noodles has spread like wildfire.

Second, the production process of crossing the bridge rice noodles

Cross-bridge rice noodles are the staple food, and there are two kinds of rice noodles. One is "sour rice flour", as the name implies, which is fermented with rice and ground into powder. It tastes slightly sour, has good bones and muscles, and tastes chewy. The other is called "dried rice flour", which is made by directly grinding rice into powder and pressing it in a machine. Dried rice noodles taste good and are thinner than sour rice noodles. Many friends who travel far away may bring some dried rice noodles, which are dried.

Followed by soup, the essence of a bowl of rice noodles crossing the bridge, all in the soup. Therefore, the quality of soup must be high, and some rotten bones can't be used for the sake of cheapness. The practice of soup is very particular. You must use two strong hens and a duck. The soup cooked in this way tastes the best.

But now many shops no longer use this firing method, and people's taste changes have also brought about changes in this industry. The most common soup now is made of pig bones and chicken. Good soup is milky white with a layer of oil floating on it. It's not steamed, but it makes people have an appetite.

Finally, the side dishes. There are too many side dishes now. Add whatever you want. The most common vegetables are bean sprouts, pea tips, Chinese cabbage strips, leeks and tofu skin. Meat often includes: pork slices, chicken breast, mullet slices, pork belly slices, etc. Quail eggs are added in some places.

Crossing the bridge rice noodles can be said to be completed by chefs and customers, and many chefs have been pursuing it all their lives. A first-class chef can make the color, shape and taste of dishes perfect, but without a customer who can taste, dishes lose their meaning of production and existence.

Therefore, a first-class chef is as important as a first-class customer. Here, if you want to cooperate with the chef to complete a delicious meal, the most important thing is the order of the dishes. Meat and vegetables can't be heated, just put them in boiling soup. In what order can I eat the most refreshing rice noodles across the bridge? One by one, listen to me.

First, put the meat down while the soup in the casserole is still boiling. Even if it is cut into pieces, meat is still more difficult to cook than vegetables, so the first one put it down and let him touch it for a long time. Moreover, there are more bacteria in the meat, and the soup can kill more bacteria when it is hot. And more importantly, you can't eat meat raw, but most vegetables can be eaten raw.

After putting the meat, put the quail eggs in. But don't stir, or quail eggs will turn into egg flowers. When the soup is put in hot, the probability of quail egg yolk leaking out is smaller, so that the whole quail egg can be eaten. After that, add rice noodles, because the hardness of rice noodles is greater than that of vegetables, so you can put them in advance appropriately. At this time, the rice noodles put down will not be broken because of high temperature, nor will they be soft enough because of low temperature. Taste q bomb, very refreshing.

Finally, add vegetables, most of which are cut into strips and can be eaten simply by scalding. Add spices such as pepper and soy sauce according to your own taste, and eat with homemade radish strips or pickled cucumbers. But when you start eating, remember to eat quail eggs first, or you will hide in that corner, and then gently touch them with chopsticks, and the yolk will float on the soup, which will not only look unsightly, but also affect the taste of the soup.

Many friends who used to eat rice noodles across the bridge saw that there was no hot air at all, thinking that they tasted it if it was not hot. As a result, they not only made jokes, but also set themselves on fire. The essence of crossing the bridge rice noodles is heat preservation ability. It is kept in a casserole container. Most of the hot air is absorbed by a ceramic container, and then it is warmer. There is a layer of oil floating on the soup, which seals the hot air in the soup and keeps the temperature longer.

So, don't drink soup yet. It's not too late to taste all the dishes before drinking soup. The temperature of the outer casserole is very high from beginning to end, so don't touch it easily, it is easy to burn. This bowl of steaming food without steaming is the best heater in winter. Invite three or two friends, go together, eat full head big sweat, chat very heartily, eat full. Isn't it a great blessing in life?

Yunnan rice noodle crossing the bridge has a history of 100 years, which is not only found in Mengzi, but also everywhere in Yunnan. Not only do Yunnan people like it very much, but many compatriots from other provinces and foreign countries have noticed it and praised it after tasting its delicious food.

No matter what kind of food it is, no matter whether its history can be tested or not, it is not only a kind of food, but also a cultural carrier integrated into our bodies and a cultural inheritance.

In every cold winter, the cold wind whistling outside the window, the heavy rain with dark clouds seems to come instantly, but we still go out with our friends and wait patiently in front of a shop that has to wait for 20 minutes, just for a bowl of rice noodles crossing the bridge, and also give us an excuse to take time to eat, drink and enjoy life with our friends in a busy and impetuous world. But for people far away, it's just that this bowl of rice noodles is nowhere to be found.

I believe that no matter where you are, crossing the bridge rice noodles has an irreplaceable position for everyone in Yunnan. It is a kind of homesickness that we can't trace back but follow closely.
