Guangxi people are familiar with Guilin rice noodles and Liuzhou snail powder, but mainlanders may have heard of Guilin rice noodles, but may not have heard of Liuzhou snail powder.
Guilin rice noodle
Guilin rice noodles come from Guilin, and Guilin's landscape is known as the best in the world. There are too many hymns about her, "Guilin has different mountains and rivers, and autumn is like Luoyangchun." (Song) "Jiangluo Belt, the mountain is like a jade hairpin." (Han Yu) "Wanfeng stands in the wild and holds the city in one water." (Liu Kezhuang) Thanks to the famous beautiful scenery, the rice noodles produced in Guilin naturally get a little light. Besides, it has a long history. She was born in the Qin Dynasty, with a history of more than two thousand years. By the time the Qing Dynasty, especially the Republic of China, entered its heyday, many people should know by now. Not only many stores, but also vacuum sales. In addition, the celebrity effect of literati also advertised her somewhat. Mr. Bai Xianyong, a famous writer born in Guilin, loves Guilin rice noodles. It was after living in Guilin for seven years that he had a special feeling for Guilin. The first thing he did when he returned to Guilin was to serve two bowls of Guilin rice noodles. As soon as these anecdotes about celebrities spread, Guilin rice noodles spread.
Liuzhou snail powder comes from Liuzhou, Guangxi, and its history is not as long as Guilin rice noodles. Because the soup is cooked with snails, it will smell a little fishy. Add sour bamboo shoots to the powder. Sour bamboo shoots fermented with fresh bamboo shoots will have a strange "smelly" taste. People who are not used to these two tastes may not be used to it, which will restrict her expansion to a certain extent and cannot adapt to the tastes of the public everywhere like Guilin rice noodles. In addition, Liuzhou is an industrial city with less fame than Guilin. For the time being, no cultural celebrity like Bai Xianyong has inadvertently promoted it, so fewer people will know it.
