The origin of spicy strips
Spicy strips originated from an accident. The production of bean products in Pingjiang County, Hunan Province has a long history and is an important part of the industry in Pingjiang County.
During the period of 1998, a serious flood disaster occurred in Hunan, causing serious losses of agricultural products. The price of soybean, the main raw material of dry sauce industry in Pingjiang County, rose sharply from 70 cents a catty to 5 1 kg, which directly dealt a devastating blow to the dry sauce industry. In order to support their families, farmers in Pingjiang county urgently need a new way out. In this case, relatively cheap and easily available flour has become the first choice. In order to reduce the cost, the masters of foreign dry sauce workshops jointly developed a formula of gluten snacks.
This kind of gluten snack is the embryonic form of spicy strips. It turns out that spicy strips are mainly used for seasoning as long as they are salty and spicy. Later, after the reaction of some dealers, children prefer to eat some sweet and spicy strips. In order to meet the market demand, they specially made sweet and spicy strips, which were quickly welcomed by people after facing the market. [ 1]
The problem broke out
Pingjiang County, located in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, does not produce wheat, and all raw materials are shipped from other places. First, the transportation time is long, second, the logistics cost is increased, and third, the long transportation time will affect the quality of wheat. Therefore, the wheat-producing Central Plains (Henan) has become the first choice for the production of spicy strips. For this reason, the production of spicy strips is divided into two factions: North and South. "Southern School" is mainly concentrated in Pingjiang County, Hunan Province, where it originated. Spicy strip production enterprises are small in scale and have many brands, but they lack representative enterprises. "Northern School" is mainly concentrated in Zhengzhou, Luohe and other places, with Wei Long Spicy Strip as the main representative enterprise.
It is worth noting that there are many problems with spicy strips (small workshops, dirty factories, excessive additives, etc. ) also broke out during this period, and these problems continued until 20 17, and many unscrupulous manufacturers still produced unqualified spicy strips and sold them to the market. [ 1]
In 2000 alone, there were as many as 4,000 enterprises of seasoned noodle products in Henan. "At that time, it was a manual workshop with rough processing. In addition to an extruder, it is difficult to find a second decent food machine, and the daily production capacity is more than hundreds. " Li Changgen, secretary general of Zhengzhou Pingjiang Chamber of Commerce, said.
