Ma Baozi

It is said that the end of the Qing Dynasty, Lanzhou city came to a cooking Hui master, named Ma Baozi, he is very good at thinking about the problem: Lanzhou Hui people love to eat beef and mutton, the Han people love to eat pulled pork, how can we will be here to the Hui and Han residents are inviting to eat the meal I do? He thought of combining these two ways of eating together. At first, he tried to do "mutton pulled noodles", found that not, why?

Because the lamb has a stink, a large part of the people do not like to eat. In addition, the lamb is too tender, the meat is too crumbly, not easy to mold, and the sheep's size is too small, the meat yield is low, not very suitable for doing the ingredients of the popular diet, and ultimately compared to the comparison, or decided to give up the "sheep" with the "cow".

At first, the noodle is still pulling the noodles, and later found that this kind of noodle pulling up is quite laborious, and can not meet the peak demand, the noodle is too monotonous, the children old people are not very suitable. This is the choice of rolling noodles, and found that there is still a single type of noodles. The last thing I wanted to do was to pull the noodles, which greatly improved the efficiency of the work and catered to the taste of the general public.
