What is the origin of eating fried noodles on June 6?

In Huai 'an, along the old Yellow River, there is a custom of eating fried noodles on June 6th. It is said that it comes from an old legend.

In ancient times, outside the east gate of Huai 'an was the sea, where the Yellow River entered the sea. There are still relics called "Abandoned Yellow River". At that time, disasters often broke out in the Yellow River. People thought it was the sea dragon king, so they built the Dragon King Temple to worship the dragon king. As a result, the temple was repaired and washed, washed and repaired, and it cost a lot of money and goods, but it still failed to impress the sea dragon king. Later, people learned the way to deal with floods-damming.

The steamed bread and cakes brought by the dam repairman will rot in a few days. A man named Gu Shan came up with a way to fry the flour dry, and then let the embankment builders take the flour and send it to eat with boiling water. Sure enough, it won't break after a long time. Since then, people have learned how to be a good aunt.

June of the lunar calendar is the rainy season and the peak period of flood control. People designated June 6th as a holiday, on the one hand, to remind people of Qi Xin's joint efforts to win the flood control, on the other hand, to express gratitude and nostalgia for Gu Shan. So in this festival, although there is a sumptuous meal, we must eat some fried noodles.

Nowadays, fried noodles are not only fried noodles, but also walnuts, almonds and peanuts, which are more delicious and nutritious.
