Where is the birthplace of spicy noodles?

Spicy strips were invented by Pingjiang people Qiu Pingjiang, Li Mengneng, and Zhong Qingyuan.

In 1998, a catastrophic flood occurred in Hunan, resulting in serious losses of agricultural products, and the production capacity of soybeans, the main raw material of the dried soy sauce industry in Pingjiang County, fell sharply, which directly dealt a devastating blow to the dried soy sauce industry.

In order to support their families, the farmers of Pingjiang County urgently need a new way out, but in such a situation, the innovative Pingjiang people Qiu Pingjiang, Li Mengneng and Zhong Qingyuan of the three towns of Pingjiang County used flour instead of soybean flour in the exploration, improved the production process, used single-screw extrusion mechanical processing, added pepper, pepper, cumin, sugar, salt, vegetable oil and other condiments, and innovated and invented the spicy spicy strips, which are called gluten in the industry and spicy in Pingjiang.

The reason why the spicy strips are hot.

Under normal circumstances, most snacks actually have two kinds from the perspective of taste, one is sweet, such as chocolate, biscuits, etc., and the other is sour, such as various plums and preserved fruits, but spicy strips have a bloody way in snacks and snacks with their special taste.

It can be said that spicy strips have become a rare spicy food in the memories of most post-80s and post-90s young people, and it is precisely by virtue of the special spicy taste that spicy strips have become a very special thing, as long as everyone says spicy snacks, we must say spicy strips, and it is exactly like this, in the case that other snack companies have been shuffled for several rounds, spicy strips are still standing, and have become an important part of everyone's minds for many years.

Spicy strips, a food that once became an Internet celebrity, originated in Pingjiang County, Hunan.

The birth of spicy noodles is very legendary, its birthplace is Pingjiang County, Hunan, Pingjiang County has a special dried soy sauce, which is a mellow, chewy dried tofu product, which is loved by the locals.

In 1998, when the Hunan flood, agricultural products suffered heavy losses, the shortage of raw materials could not produce dried soy sauce, people always have endless imagination about eating, the producer of dried soy sauce used wheat flour instead of soybeans, and creatively invented a large gluten with a taste similar to dried soy sauce, which is the spicy strip that later swept the world.

The production area of spicy noodles moved north:

Pingjiang County, Hunan Province does not produce much wheat, flour is mostly transported from Henan, the main wheat producing area, but the price of this large gluten is low, Henan is hundreds of kilometers away from Hunan, the freight is quite high, and the gains and losses are somewhat outweighed by the use of spicy strips, the production process of spicy strips is not too complicated, and in a short period of time, a large number of enterprises producing spicy strips have appeared in Zhengzhou, Luohe and other places in Henan.

Henan's local wheat production can account for a quarter of the country, and the flour quality is high, the labor cost is low, all kinds of conditions are too suitable, the flour is made into spicy strips after simple processing, the profits are huge, and gradually formed a large enterprise represented by Weilong, spicy strips formally formed a complete industrial chain, almost become a specialty of Henan, various tastes, forms of spicy strip products, cheap and satisfying spicy strips quickly spread all over the small shops at the entrance of the school, becoming one of the most popular snacks for children.

Spicy strips were invented by Qiu Pingjiang, Li Mengneng, and Zhong Qingyuan.

In 1998, Hunan had a catastrophic flood disaster, the loss of agricultural products was very heavy and serious, the main raw material soybean of Pingjiang County's dried soy sauce industry has a substantial decline in production capacity, in order to support the family, Qiu Pingjiang, Li Mengneng and Zhong Qingyuan of Pingjiang County three towns after many explorations, decided to replace soybean flour with flour, and improve the production process, using single-screw extrusion machining, and finally add pepper, pepper, cumin and other condiments, spicy strips are born from this, the industry is called gluten, but Pingjiang people like to call spicy.

The first person in the world to eat spicy noodles is a woman surnamed Zhang, in 1998, Qiu Pingjiang, Li Mengneng, Zhong Qingyuan invented spicy noodles, and the first package of spicy noodles was given to the landlord's daughter to try, Ms. Zhang was full of praise for the first time when she tried spicy noodles, and every time she went home, she had to find them to take spicy noodles to eat, which gave Qiu Pingjiang, Li Mengneng, and Zhong Qingyuan the confidence to launch spicy noodles.
