Stories and legends of Guilin rice noodles
According to legend, there is an abbot among the hidden rock nuns in Yashan, Gu Yue. Because of eating this noodle for a long time, he even lived to be 85 years old, and he could climb mountains like shoes on the ground, carrying 100 kilograms on his shoulders and walking like flying.
Over time, the news spread, and the reputation of nuns' health and longevity was well known. However, not everyone can eat the people who came here at the beginning, because the nuns who make this noodle have to wash their hands and burn incense on the first day of the first month of the first month, and worship the Buddha in front of the Buddha, so they can make it fragrant and delicious, and people eat it, so the output is quite limited. At present, the supply of nun noodles is increasing, and the nun noodles in Crescent House have been made by chefs instead of nuns.
Practice: nun noodles, with bean sprouts, straw mushrooms, mushroom feet, winter bamboo shoots and so on. Boiled into soup, the soup color is Huang Chengcheng, and the aroma is tangy; Select the best white powder and refine it into smooth, greasy and uniform noodles by hand. When cooking noodles, first cook them with clear water until they are 70% cooked, then take them out and cook them in the cooked soup. After the noodles are put into the bowl, cover with vegetarian dishes such as straw mushroom, vegetarian ham and gluten, drop sesame oil, and sprinkle with peanut paste and pepper. It tastes light and delicious, and it is delicious to the aftertaste.
The noodles of nun's noodles are thin and thin, all made by hand. It's best to cook them now and eat them while they are hot. When cooking, first cook the noodles with clear soup, then take out the noodles and put them into a celadon bowl, then put the specially cooked soup into the bowl and pour the topping, and serve them to the guests. The essence of nun noodles is not known until you eat it. First, it is in a special noodle, second, it is in a special soup, and third, it is in a special ingredient. The soup of nylon noodles is golden yellow and crystal clear. It is made of bean sprouts, straw mushrooms, mushrooms and winter bamboo shoots. After drinking it in one gulp, its fresh fragrance immediately penetrates into the heart and spleen and spreads from the mouth to the whole body, which definitely makes people say "good" from the heart.
Holding a small bowl of celadon and eating a nun's noodles with sesame oil and pepper, it is fragrant and appetizing. When eating, one chopstick is used, but the noodles are very thin and the entrance is very smooth and delicate. The toppings are mushrooms, fungus, gluten, yuba, vegetarian ham, fried peanuts, fresh vegetables, and a little fragrant onion floating on the noodles, which makes people praise while eating. I really feel the beauty of the local food culture. It can be said that they are eating luck. I am glad that you have come.
It is said that eating nun noodles is also related to Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty. When Zhu Yuanzhang was chased by the Yuan Army, he begged all the way and fled to buddhist nun. He fainted in front of a nun because of hunger. Later, the old nun saved him and cooked a bowl of vegetarian noodles to satisfy his hunger. Zhu Yuanzhang called the noodles "delicious" and asked the old nun for a second bowl after eating. Unexpectedly, Zhu Yuanzhang had just finished the second bowl, and before he could wipe his mouth, Yuan Bing caught up with him. Fortunately, buddhist nun, an old man, was clever, kind and alert. He lured the Yuan Army away and chased it elsewhere, so that Zhu Yuanzhang got rid of Great Britain. Later, when Zhu Yuanzhang became emperor, he didn't forget the bowl of nun noodles when he was down and out, so he quickly sent someone south to look for Lao Ni. Unfortunately, Lao Ni has been dead for more than a month. Zhu Yuanzhang was deeply saddened by the bad news, so he wrote down the word "nun face" and sent it to buddhist nun. Because the emperor personally gave the name, the reputation of nun face spread like wildfire from now on, and it has been passed down to this day.
Unfortunately, eating nun's noodles changed from clean buddhist nun to gilded crescent covered with glazed tiles. The eating environment is not as quiet and detached as the swaying trees in buddhist nun, but in any case, even so, the nun noodles are still worth eating. In Guilin, it is really a pity not to go to the crescent building of Qixing Park to eat nun noodles.
