A cultural history of noodles? The history and culture of the origin of noodles

The British "Times" carried an article saying that scientists had discovered.

The world's first bowl of noodles comes from China.

Archaeologists recently pointed out that the first known bowl of noodles in the world did not come from Italy, but from China.

A well-preserved bowl of yellow noodles was discovered during an archaeological excavation near the Yellow River in northwestern China, and the 4,000-year-old examination has put an end to the debate over the origin of noodles with irrefutable evidence.

Previously, both Italians and ** people claimed that their ancestors had invented noodles more than 2,000 years ago.

The noodles were excavated by Morihong at the archaeological site of Laga in Qinghai Province, and the noodles were thin, about a centimeter in diameter and 50 centimeters long, with a yellowish color, similar to today's ramen.

Like ramen, they are also made by hand, but in ancient times, noodles were not made from flour, but with millet.

The new finding, published in the British journal Nature on the 13th, proves that China was able to make noodles and cook them 2,000 years earlier than Italy.

Now, the origin of spaghetti is still unknown, and there are different theories, some say that they came from the Etruscans of the ancient country of central and western Italy, some say that they came from the ancient Romans, and some even say that they were passed down by ** merchants.

In the north of Rome, Italy, there is a tomb of the Etruscans from the fourth century BC, and the frescoes in the tomb depict the whole process of making noodles with water and noodles by servants.

In fact, the Etruscans and ancient Romans preferred to eat something baked, and pizza is a case in point.

Laga, where the noodles were found, is a Stone Age site.

4,000 years ago, a sudden** and flood destroyed the village, and now the entire village is buried three meters underground.

A team led by Dr. Li Houyuan, a member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, who was in charge of the archaeological excavations, found an upside-down bowl that turned over to reveal that it was noodles.

To find out what ingredients were used in the noodles, the group compared the noodles in the bowl with the flour they are today.

Modern pasta and Asian noodles are usually made with wheat flour and bread flour.

Whereas, the ancient noodles were made from millet and did not contain any flour.

This discovery provides us with evidence that in ancient times, on the arid Loess Plateau, early basic crops and food production were dependent on millet.

Noodles have been made in China for 4,000 years. Noodles are simple to make and nutritious, which can be used as a staple food or as a fast food, and are deeply loved by Chinese. The original name of the noodles was very interesting, "soup cake".

Boiled noodles are the cleanest and can greatly reduce the occurrence of gastrointestinal diseases, so noodles have become one of the most common foods in China, especially in the north. Due to the difference in seasoning, thickness and filial piety, and strip making, thousands of noodle varieties have appeared all over China, all over the country. Therefore, there are also 10 famous noodles in China, such as Shanxi knife cut noodles, Sichuan dandan noodles, Henan braised noodles, Lanzhou beef noodles, Shandong Kangguo noodles, Beijing fried sauce noodles, etc.

Noodles originated in China, and noodles were first called "soup cakes".

More than 4,000 years ago, a sudden** event destroyed a village in northwestern China, and the floods that followed froze it.

More than 4,000 years later, in 2005 to be exact, archaeologists found noodles about 50 centimeters long and 3 millimeters wide in the rock formation in Lajia Village, Qinghai Province, known as the "Pompeii of China".

However, it is likely that at that time it was not called "noodles".

In China, the earliest noodles were called "cakes" or "soup cakes".

1400 years ago, the "Qi Min Yaoshu" recorded for the first time the "water to lead the dumpling method" of making noodles - 挼 (ruó) is as big as a chopstick, one foot and one break, the plate is soaked in water, it is advisable to put your hand on the bell, and the thin leek leaves are boiled one by one.

If you are like a big finger, two inches are broken, soaked in the basin of water, it is advisable to use your hand to the side of the basin to make it very thin, and it is boiled and cooked in a hurry. ”

To put it simply, "Mizuhiki noodles" are made by making noodles the thickness of chopsticks, pinched into a ruler shape, soaked in water, quickly kneaded into flat strips by hand on the steam of a boiling pot, and then cooked and poured chicken broth over the pot.

The method of dumpling is similar to that of Shuiyin noodles, except that the shape is more like a flat noodle crust, but the taste is "smooth and beautiful", which is the earliest noodle soup in the Central Plains.
