Zheng Zhuang vermicelli

Zheng Zhuang vermicelli is a specialty of Anping County, Hengshui City, Hebei Province. Zhengzhuang Village features Shenggu hand-made noodles. The selection of high-quality wheat, naturally without any additives and purely handmade, is a veritable green food, which has become a brand product of Zhengzhuang Village and has driven the whole village to develop into a green industry. Zheng Zhuang was mainly an immigrant from Shanxi in the second year of Yongle in Ming Dynasty (1404). They used to have the craft of making "tribute noodles", and they brought strong wheat seeds. The wheat they planted themselves was processed with a stone mill, and the good hydrated noodles of Hutuo River were processed through 13 traditional processes, which took two days to complete. The dried noodles are as thin as hair and hollow, which are called "clean, white, clean, fine and dry". The food is flexible, smooth, flexible and nutritious, and it is the first choice for the elderly, children, pregnant women and patients. It is the first meal for local guests. According to the memory of the 80-year-old living in the village, his ancestors sent dried noodles to Beijing as a "tribute". It was only later that the road of the palace was broken and it became a traditional popular famous product among the people. Without speculation, Zheng Zhuang vermicelli was once a "tribute" and a "palace noodle". It has a history of more than 600 years and should be a traditional and famous specialty of Anping. Now there are more than 300 households in Zhengzhuang, and half of them still inherit this traditional craft. They select high-quality wheat to grind their own flour, or choose special flour from famous factories as raw materials, and produce it strictly according to traditional techniques, but it is more advanced and scientific than in the past. The vermicelli they produce can be completely comparable to the so-called "tribute noodles and palace noodles" in the market, but there is no name change, no registration and no exquisite packaging. I believe that Zheng Zhuang vermicelli will one day go to the elegant hall, to the big city, to the supermarket, to the external reception window, and become famous all over the world, adding luster to Anping.
