Classification of cable surface

Nanshan Village, Pingyangkeng Town, Ruian City is a well-known handmade noodle village. It is said that this traditional noodle making technology has been passed down for more than 300 years, and almost every household in the village can make it. The annual noodle production exceeds 500 tons. Products are also exported to France, Italy and Spain. Suomian is a traditional food in Wenzhou, which is mild, warm and easy to digest. Because it is more than 3 meters long, it is also called longevity noodles.

In Wenzhou, whether in urban or rural areas, children and relatives will greet the elderly on their birthdays and wish them health and longevity. When a child is born at home, the host will invite relatives, friends and neighbors to eat noodles and share the joy of Tim Ding. In the early years, in the streets and alleys of Wenzhou city, the shouts of selling noodles were often heard, and most of the women carrying the burden of selling noodles came from the rural areas of Ruian.

In the past, women who made rope noodles often came by boat. After landing at Xiaonanmen Wharf, they used a pole to carry two baskets full of rope surfaces and began to walk in the street. Nowadays, the sales of noodles have entered the fixed stalls and supermarkets in the market. We can no longer see the girls carrying the burden of noodles, nor can we hear the long shouts of "Noodles-Oh, Noodles-". However, the custom that people in the city have to eat noodles for birthdays and children still remains. In particular, Wenzhou people who emigrated abroad also brought the custom of eating noodles to Europe.

One morning a week ago, I first came to Nanshan Village. This mountain village with more than 360 families is built on the mountain, and a cement road with a length of about 1 km winds from the village head to the village end. Along the cement road, you can see rows of wooden frames in front of people's houses on both sides, and the villagers are busy drying noodles in and out. Under the strong sunlight, the cable surface hanging on the high wooden frame looks like a silver line at close range and becomes an elegant waterfall at a distance. What is even more amazing is the looming figure of men and women behind the slender silver line, which makes people fall into a dream. When I was immersed in the beautiful scenery in front of me and was amazed, the villagers told me that it was not the most beautiful time in Nanshan Village. Because there are not many people who cook noodles in hot weather, after the Millennium season, when the weather turns cold, every household will do it. At that time, all the open spaces in the village were drying noodles, and the scene was spectacular!

The cable surface processing in Nanshan Village is manual from beginning to end, which is time-consuming and laborious. However, it is this pure handwork that ensures the quality of noodles in Nanshan Village. It's hot in summer, and noodles will be too sour to eat after a long time. Making noodles from midnight is the hardest day of the year. You can do it every afternoon after autumn, and take it out to dry the next morning without staying up late. There are generally four procedures for making noodles: mixing noodles, mixing flour with proper amount of salt and water, and kneading thoroughly; Kneading: Knead the thoroughly kneaded dough embryo into a long noodle rope slightly thinner than the little finger and put it in a wooden basin; Roll-up: wrap the noodle rope left for one or two hours on a bamboo stick about 50 cm long, put it in a long wooden cabinet, and then stretch it to 20 cm or 30 cm in the wooden cabinet; Sun drying: Take out the noodles that have been "awake" for several hours in the wooden cabinet, put them in the wooden frame outside the house, stretch them and dry them. The key technology of making cable surface is to control the amount of salt. Salt is mainly used to adjust the elasticity of noodles, and the amount of salt depends on the temperature. Generally speaking, if the amount of salt is controlled accurately, the flexibility of the cable surface will be good, not only will it not break during drawing, but also the taste will be good. It is very important to do the weather, so you must choose sunny days. In the past, villagers could only "naturally" look up at the sky. By experience, but with the weather forecast, the villagers' peace of mind has been settled a lot.

For more than 300 years, the villagers in Nanshan have never thought that their hard work has created an amazing beauty and attracted many photographers and photographers. In recent years, the beautiful scenery of mountain villages and the images of villagers' labor frequently appear in film festivals, networks and magazines. Not long ago, Ruian declared the national photography base, and Nanshan Village was also listed as one of the cultural landscapes. Experts from China Photographers Association spoke highly of it after inspection, and it is expected to become a national photography base. I think, through the lens of countless photographers, the beauty of Nanshan Village will be discovered more deeply, and its reputation will spread further and further. Suomian is a specialty of Fuzhou, handmade. Select refined white flour as raw material, add salt, potato flour and crude oil, mix and stir evenly, and make it through several procedures such as kneading dough, kneading strips, loosening strips, stringing noodles, Lamian Noodles and sun exposure. There are two kinds of finished products: one is "noodle head", which is slightly thicker and is usually used for frying food; One is the "face tail", that is, the cable surface in Fuzhou people's usual sense, with a diameter of less than 0.6 mm.

The length of Fuzhou cable surface can reach several meters, and the diameter is only 0.6 to 0.7 mm. When I was in Lamian Noodles, I tied a red line on the surface. Because the cable noodles are the longest noodles, they are also called "long noodles" and "longevity noodles". Because of the homonym of "long face" and "long life" in Fuzhou dialect, Fuzhou people also call it "long life"

Noodles are widely loved by people in Fuzhou. On New Year's Day, people eat a bowl of noodles and wish them health and longevity. Noodles also have the following nicknames: birthday noodles, which are the staple food for women during childbirth and confinement; birthday noodles with egg wine and chicken soup; wedding and engagement noodles, which are called "happy noodles"; cooking noodles when going out or not at home, which is called "peace" and praying for peace.

Noodles production in Fuzhou began in the Southern Song Dynasty and has a long history of more than 800 years. The plane cross section of Fuzhou cable is circular, with fineness of 0.7 mm and length of about 3.5 meters. The raw materials are refined flour or proprietary flour, supplemented by salt, potato flour, crude oil and eggs. Suitable for the elderly and children. Every 100 kg of flour can make noodles of about 120 kg.

Yangkou lock noodles
