The definition of "Lehe" in Cihai was consulted, and it was interpreted as: "A food made of buckwheat flour in the north, see" River Leak ". The explanation for the river leakage is: "that is, Lehe is a kind of pasta in the north." Wang Zhen's "Agricultural Books Buckwheat":' There are many kinds of counties behind the mountains in the north, which are peeled and ground into flour for processing ... or made into soup cakes. This is called river leakage. Wang Zhen was an agronomist in Yuan Dynasty. In his monograph "Agricultural Books Buckwheat", there is another sentence that is not mentioned in Ci Hai: "Smooth as powder is a long food." In other words, Lehe used to be a "river leak" with a smooth and delicate appearance. At that time, it was a kind of food made by the family itself, just like rolling noodles made at home today.
So, when did the diamond surface originate?
According to the records of Jiaxian County Records, it is said that King Kong noodles were introduced from Shaanxi in the early Ming Dynasty. At first, buckwheat flour was used as the main ingredient, and mutton soup boiled with cooked mutton and chopped green onion was served. At that time, residents used a tool called Helezi to "make their own food". In the late Qing dynasty, wheat flour was used instead of buckwheat flour, which was more nutritious.
There are many interesting records about the diamond face. At the beginning of the 16th year of Chongzhen (A.D. 1643), Sun Chuanting, a famous trilateral governor, left Tongguan and went to Henan to fight the rebels in Li Zicheng. According to legend, in order to enrich the taste of Guanzhong soldiers, he told the three armies that each army could carry 20 birch music machines. In June 5438+10, the Ming army and the insurgents met in the southeast of Tancheng, and the insurgents pretended to be defeated. The Ming army pursued the Rebel Army 15 Li and reached Lizhuang on the blue bank of Yongjiang East. The rebel army adopted the strategy of "luring it with benefits and taking it from the enemy", abandoned gold and silver, and won a great victory. Sun Chuanting fled, so he had to break the west, and dozens of birch music and music machines were acquired by the people and insurgents in Lizhuang, Guangxi. The insurgents got eight sets. In order to commemorate the spirit of King Kong of the insurgents, the people in Li Zhuang changed the word "Gang" to "Steel" and named it "King Kong Lehe". The exquisite equipment for making noodles suddenly made people's homes like heaven, and for a time, the "King Kong Le He" flag (that is, the signboard of ancient hotels) fluttered in the wind in the pavilion lane on the street. Since then, the production level of noodles has been further improved.
On the other hand, Jia County had a diamond face in the Tang Dynasty, which was closely related to Han Yu, the leader of the eight great masters in the Tang and Song Dynasties. In the book Supplement to the Collected Works of Mr. Changli written by Zhang in the Ming Dynasty, there is a passage by Han Yu: At the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, the thief returned from Cai and the river leaked. "Here refers to, Yuanhe nine years (AD 8 14), Cai Zhou (now Shangcai area, Henan Province) secretariat of Wu Yuanji resistance to the Tang Dynasty, mercenaries and self-reliance. Han Yu led the army to fight back and captured Wu Yuanji alive, which is known in history as the "War of Huai System". In the thirteenth year of Yuanhe (AD 8 18). Tang Jun left Cai and went to the west of Jia County to eat King Kong noodles. It can be inferred that the surface of "King Kong Le He" has a history of at least 1200 years.
In Jiaxian County, Pingdingshan, King Kong noodles have become the staple food of the masses. Li is the most popular shopkeeper.
At the end of last century, with the improvement of people's living standards, the condiments in Lehe Jingang were more abundant. On the basis of the original materials, more than ten kinds of traditional Chinese medicine seasonings, such as cinnamon, medlar, asarum and Ophiopogon japonicus, are added, which have the health care and disease prevention effects of warming stomach, resisting cold, nourishing yin and strengthening yang.
