The difference between Hualong beef noodles and Lanzhou noodles

Standard Lanzhou beef noodles (basically found in northwest places such as Yinchuan, Lanzhou, Xining and other places), 2-3 noodle makers + 1 fryer + a waiter and cashier, mostly apprentices + family relatives , the waiter is not responsible for serving the food. He pays in advance, calls the number at the window, carries it and sits down by himself, pours the sour soup and water by himself, and leaves after eating. The standard configuration in the store is that there are several noodle chefs pulling noodles behind the transparent window, but for fried noodles, there will be a Hui woman (similar to a daughter-in-law) or a young man cooking the noodles. There are relatively few other dishes in the restaurant, and there are two kinds of noodles. They are divided into thin, large, leek leaves, capillary, etc. In addition to beef noodles and side dishes, they are basically dry noodles, firecrackers, fried noodles, mixed noodles, etc. Larger restaurants can order dishes, which are basically home-cooked dishes.

"Lanzhou Ramen": Most of the Lanzhou Ramen eaten by people in most areas outside the country (the unauthentic noodles that Lanzhou people despise and ruin their reputation) are from Hualong Hui Autonomous County in Qinghai Since the 1990s, a small number of people in the Hualong area of ??Qinghai have been operating "Lanzhou Beef Noodle" shops in coastal cities such as Guangzhou, Shanghai, Xiamen and other areas. They were run by a family and later Introduce relatives, friends, and neighbors to open a store.

Through the hard-working, brave, hard-working and expansion of the business of a small group of people in Hualong, the people of Hualong who started to work hard in coastal cities have gained a lot of benefits, and the good business scope has been passed down to ten, and spread from ten to ten. Word quickly spread that the brave and hard-working Hualong people were not limited to opening stores and starting businesses in coastal cities. They began to operate in inland cities such as Beijing and Wuhan, mainly around university towns and residential areas, all of which had been improved (changed). , which is very different from Lanzhou beef noodles. The soup is a bit thicker and the noodles are not that different. Most of the noodles I buy are from Henan and Shandong. Those who are more particular will buy Ganqing special flour.

Most of the ramen restaurants improved by Qinghai people are family units, with 3-4 people. The male owner is the cashier and waiter, or he also works as a noodle maker. He will hire a noodle maker, a young man. Work as a handyman to learn a craft. It is very different from the authentic Lanzhou beef noodles. The store will have a variety of fried rice, donburi noodles, donburi rice, and large plates of chicken.

The above statement is based on the differences in the operation of beef noodle shops in other places around Lanzhou (such as the entire Gansu area, Qinghai area, and Ningxia area).
