Crossing the bridge rice noodles has a history of 100 years, which originated in Mengzi county in southern Yunnan. 1920 The first rice noodle shop "Renhe Garden" was established in Kunming. Legend has it that a scholar was studying on an island in the middle of the lake in South Lake of Mengzi, and the scholar's wife sent her husband meals through a stone bridge every day. One day, the wife studied hard for her husband. She stewed a fat and strong hen and put it in a jar. She was about to deliver food to her husband, but she couldn't deliver it on time because of something important. When she finished eating, she found that the soup pot was still hot. It turned out that the noodle soup was covered with a thick layer of butter, which played a role in heat insulation. So he crossed the path and the stone bridge and gave it to her husband. After soaking rice noodles in hot chicken soup, he immediately fished them out and put them in a bowl. The scholar is very satisfied. This matter was circulated as a beautiful talk.
