cat ears
By ViolaHyatt
Cat Ears is a famous specialty snack in Hangzhou with historical allusions and legends. Legend has it that Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty went to Jiangnan and once enjoyed the West Lake in a small boat in disguise. While the tour was still strong, it suddenly began to rain. Everyone hurriedly took shelter in the cabin of the boat, but the rain became heavier and heavier and did not stop for a long time. A few hours passed, and Emperor Qianlong was hungry and couldn't help but ask the old fisherman what food he had. The old fisherman told Qianlong that he had noodles but no rolling pin and could not make noodles. Just as he was worried, the old fisherman's little granddaughter walked with a little tabby cat in her arms and said,"There is no rolling pin, I will twist it with my hands." So the little girl started to twist the dough into pieces, which looked like the ears of a little tabloid cat. It was small and cute. She put the strange-shaped noodles into the pot and cooked them, then poured them with fish and shrimp marinade and served them to Qianlong. Qianlong saw that the noodles were exquisite and unique, and felt that they had endless aftertaste after eating them. He quickly asked the little girl what the noodles were called, and the little girl replied that they were cat ears. Qianlong liked this snack very much. After returning to Beijing, he called the little girl to make "cat ears" for it. Since then,"cat ears" have become a famous Hangzhou specialty that has become famous all over the world.
