On the origin of dried dragon and noodles

Lehe has a long history and is a popular pasta in North and Northwest China.

Legend has it that as early as 1400 years ago, ancestors drilled 6 or 7 small holes with horns, which were as big as coarse hemp lines. The batter was put into the horns and fell into a boiling pot to cook noodles.

A river leaks from its source.

During the reign of Kangxi in Qing Dynasty, Emperor Kangxi appointed a special person to make statistics on the national flavor snacks, and "river leakage" was also reported to the court as one of them.

Kangxi saw "River Leak" and attracted attention because of its strange name. After eating it, he praised its unique taste.

However, due to the disharmony between the homonym of "river leakage" and river regulation, Kangxi was unhappy and changed "river leakage" to "Lehe".

According to reports, Lucun Hele began in the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty and spread to the seventh generation of his father Wei.

According to legend, when Queen Qianlong came to Anyang, local officials presented Wei Ji of Lucun to cater to the royal family.

After using it, the Queen Qianlong praised it again and again, and Wei Ji Lehe became a household name.

Extended information noodle is one of the traditional pasta in Shanxi, Hebei, Shandong, Henan and Shaanxi provinces in northern China. The producer put the mixed buckwheat noodles and sorghum noodles (mostly wheat noodles now) under the bed, sat on the lever and directly squeezed the noodles into strips (noodles) and cooked them in the pot.

Noodles in southern Shanxi originated very early. Noodles can be seen everywhere in the streets of Yuncheng, Linfen and Jincheng. The locals joked that "Quwo noodles can apply for intangible cultural heritage", which shows the local people's love for Lehe.

Xiguan Lehe Pot in Ningjin County, Hebei Province, noodles in Jiaxian County, Henan Province, and buckwheat noodles in Wulanchabu City, Inner Mongolia are also very famous, similar to those in Quwo, Shanxi Province, but each has its own characteristics.

Noodles are also common in Datong, Shanxi, Handan, Hebei, central and western Inner Mongolia, eastern Gansu and Yanchi, Ningxia.
