Sanjia Village Noodle Introduction
"Sanxia Village Yangchun Noodles" is the only noodle stall near Sanxia Village, with a history of 40 years. People from Sanxia Village have been eating here since childhood and still come back as grandparents. The owner, Kong Jijun (born in 1934), was originally a professional soldier. After his wife passed away, he retired early to raise three children and opened a noodle stall selling Yangchun noodles to support the family. His daughter-in-law, Hou Liyun (born in 1966), married into the family and initially helped with miscellaneous tasks while learning the cooking secrets. After six months, she became familiar with the cooking techniques and took over the business, while Kong Jijun still comes to help at the stall every day. The preparation of Sanxia Village Yangchun Noodles consists of three steps. First, the seasoning is made: dried tofu is shredded, chopped, and stir-fried with lard until crispy, then set aside. Second, the broth is prepared: pork bones are simmered for a long time, then set aside. Finally, the noodles are cooked. When customers order, seasoning is scooped into a bowl, the pork bone broth is added, followed by the noodles, and then served.
