Brief introduction of Nanchong rice noodles

Nanchong rice noodle has a long history and is one of the famous snacks in Nanchong and even northern Sichuan.

As early as the Qing dynasty, Shunqing mutton powder was well known, and the most famous one was Zhu Laofu's noodle shop. Shunqing mutton powder is made of rice flour (cooked rice flour made of rice), mutton soup and stuffing, and the seasoning is exquisite. It has the characteristics of three delicacies (fresh powder, fresh stuffing and fresh soup). The rice flour is delicate and soft, the stuffing is clear and fishy, and the soup is milky and spicy. In the cold winter, eating a bowl of mutton powder will cause fever and sweating, which has a great effect on dispelling cold and dampness. So some people like to treat colds with mutton powder.

In Nanchong city, every day at dawn, as soon as the door of the powder room is opened, many powder customers come from all directions in an endless stream, and the powder room is packed and as lively as the morning meeting. This is the scene of Nanchong people waking up, rushing to the streets to compete for powder. Steaming, fragrant powder rooms can be seen everywhere. In a small street less than 300 meters long, there are seven or eight powder houses crowded, and there are hundreds of thousands of powder customers in one morning. This is by no means exaggerated and sensational. There are dozens of powder mills in the city, which are in short supply, and hundreds of powder mills have long been prosperous.

After the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC), the Party and the government were very concerned about local famous snacks. In the early 1950s, the leaders of the North Sichuan Administrative Office often patronized Zhulaogong mutton powder shop. At present, Nanchong has not only greatly increased the number of rice noodle shops, but also increased the variety of rice noodle shops. In addition to the traditional mutton powder, beef powder, chicken powder, eel powder, three fresh powder, assorted powder and other varieties have been added. Foreign guests like to taste Shunqing mutton powder.

Now Nanchong rice noodles have spread all over the country, and many cities and counties can see Nanchong rice noodles, which is also a unique food landscape in Nanchong.
