Name legend
Legend has it that a scholar who was full of talent but not cynical, poor, hungry, and cold came to Xianyang. When he passed by a noodle shop, he heard "biang——biang——" inside. "The sound kept coming, and I felt hungry for a while, so I couldn't help but walk in. I saw that the white table was filled with long strips of noodles that had been mixed together. The master picked up a piece, grabbed both ends, beat it into a piece as generous as a trousers belt, and threw it into the pot. In an instant, he smashed several pieces. In an instant, a large bowl was taken out of the pot. The bottom of the bowl was filled with condiments and some bean sprouts and green vegetables. Naturally, a large spoonful of oil and spicy pepper was poured on it and served hot. The scholar became excited and shouted: "Okay! The store will bring you a bowl!" "This guest, a bowl..." The waiter in the store gave a long shout, and in an instant a bowl of noodles was placed in front of him, and in an instant the bowl was empty. , eating until the scholar was sweating profusely. "Store, check out!" Xiucai shouted. As soon as I touched my pocket, it was broken. I got carried away for a moment and forgot that the pocket was already empty. I was immediately embarrassed, and the hot sweat just now brushed coldly on my face. On the side, the waiter squinted and shrugged, with a wicked smile on his face. "Waiter..." the scholar murmured, but as soon as the words left his mouth, he was blocked by the waiter: "Sir, our store operates on a small budget and does not accept credit." Seeing the unaccommodating look of the waiter, the scholar touched his body again, one on the left and one on the right. Touch, touch, touch, it seems that sooner or later you will be able to find a few pennies. The waiter thought to himself: "You poor scholar, let's see what you come up with." Oh my god, isn't this an insult to politeness? While the scholar was touching, he was thinking about how to escape. He struck up a conversation with the waiter in the store and said, "Waiter, what's the name of your place?" "What's the name biang?" The waiter imitated the scholar's accent and said, "biangbiang noodles." The scholar asked, "biangbiang noodles? How do you write the word biangbiang?" This noodle shop is a well-known time-honored brand. Its noodles are made in a special way. The noodles hit and hit the panel, which means "biangbiang", so it is called "biangbiang noodles". How to write the word "biangbiang"? No one has thought about it when the store makes the noodles and the customers eat the noodles. Seeing that the waiter couldn't answer, Xiucai suddenly had an idea. He said, "Waiter, you have discussed with the boss. I have no money today. Can you write the word 'biangbiang' and exchange it for this bowl of noodles?" The waiter came back immediately. , said: "Sure." The shopkeeper thought to himself: "Since ancient times, there has been no word 'biangbiang'. Let's see how you, a poor scholar, default on your debt." "biang, biang, biang, biang..." The scholar muttered in his heart and mouth.
Scholars read books and know books best. Throughout the ages, the words "biang, biang" have never been used. "If it's not in the book, how can it be created?" The emperor can create a name for himself, but how can a scholar dare to compete with him? The scholar is full of sadness and melancholy; he studies hard in a cold window, but fails to achieve success and fame. In full view of the public, he falls into such a situation as defaulting on his debt. It is unfair! He was anxious and scolded the emperor in his mind: "What's the 'sun and moon shining in the sky'? The people are suffering and mourning is everywhere; the palace is divided and wolves are in power; corrupt officials are rampant in the countryside; I, a scholar, studied hard in a cold window, but because I have no money and no one, I can't get through. Joints, no fame... Come on, your emperor can create calligraphy, why can't I, the scholar? Wrote a □! He wrote and sang: "One point flies up to the sky, the Yellow River bends on both sides; the eight-character mouth is wide open, and the words go inward, twisting to the left, twisting to the right; one long to the west, one long to the east, with a horse king in the middle; heart At the bottom of the word, next to the word "month", leave a hook to hang sesame candy; "Pushing the cart to Xianyang" is a word that describes the mountains and rivers, the geography and the coolness of the world.
The scholar threw his pen away after writing, and the whole hall cheered. Since then, "biangbiang noodles" have become famous in Guanzhong.
