What are the delicacies that Northwest people can’t live without in winter?

The northwest has Gansu, Gansu has Lanzhou, and Lanzhou has ramen, but Lanzhou also has the characteristics of the northwest—mutton noodles.

Gansu is long and narrow, like a meat bone. There are huge differences in the south. The northwest of Gansu is the real northwest, with obvious regional characteristics and food culture. In the south of Gansu: Gannan Longnan is close to Sichuan and has a warm and humid climate. There are huge differences between the north and the south of Gansu. Gansu is a multi-ethnic region.

The species in the northwest are not as abundant as those in the south, and they cannot make delicious dishes, but they definitely have a say in the various ways of eating pasta.

Many people cannot accept the mutton smell, but the flour cleverly resolves the mutton smell. The noodles absorb the deliciousness of the soup, and the soup blends into the wheat aroma of the flour. The two collide to create a unique delicious.

People in the northwest like to drink. After a few drinks, some are high and some are floating. But if there is a bowl of hot mutton noodles at this time, you will suddenly feel full of strength and appetite. Northwesters must eat a bowl of mutton noodles after drinking wine.

Noodles are a common dish for Northwest people, and there are a series of customs attached to them. If a man goes to the woman's house to propose marriage, and the woman's family serves the dough, it goes without saying that the man's family has rejected him because the dough is broken. If there is a long tie on the side, it means that the marriage is possible. People have long been accustomed to this. Anyone who expresses their consent to marriage and serves noodles will be laughed at.

When guests from afar or distinguished guests come to your home, you must not upload videos, otherwise it will be disrespectful to the guests. The family is going on a long trip. Some places specialize in grabbing noodles to see people off. It is said that the noodles wish the person leaving the house neat and successful.

It is said that this kind of noodles wishes the travelers a smooth journey back and forth, while the noodles are believed to make things go wrong on the way.

Of course, modern people don’t believe this anymore. But noodles will always appear on Northwest people’s dining tables.
