Oil splashed to tear noodles

Oil splashed to tear noodles
To borrow an advertising line, our Shaanxi people's love for pasta is really "everyone knows it."
The thick and muscular noodles are served with oily spicy pepper, and a small handful of garlic sprouts that enhance the flavor. Simply, a bowl of noodles with full color, aroma and flavor is ready.

Shaanxi people also seem to have a special love for chili and vinegar. Especially when eating noodles, you can't taste any flavor without these two noodles.

I remember when I was a child in the countryside at noon and afternoon meal time, many people would gather together with a large bowl of noodles. Without using stools, they would directly squat under the wall, eating noodles and chatting about family affairs. What a simple and happy day it was!

But now that I am back in the village, almost all the young laborers have gone out to work, and those who remain are old people and children. Tall weeds have grown in many places in the village. Even the small river water where I used to wash clothes when I was a child has also become a tiny strand of spring that couldn't be smaller...

I really miss my childhood hometown!!
