Xi'an Famous Food

This is a short 1 min Instagrammable Video Clip. #biangbiangmian #油潑扯麵 Here is a story quoted from this blog: "One day, #QinShiHuang, the first emperor of the #Qindynasty of #terracottawarriorsfame, was sick and lost his appetite for all of the delicate food available in his palace. One of his servants got him a bowl of biang biang noodles, which were sold by vendors in the streets of #Xianyang, the capital of Qin dynasty near present-day #Xian. Qin Shi Huang liked the noodles so much that he designated the dish as a must-have food in the palace. After Qin Shi Huang recovered, he went to the street to examine how the food vendors prepared the noodles. After he saw the whole process, he proclaimed, "People in Qin are great, Qin will unify the whole country, and the Qin people will be united and bravely ride horses to win battles to protect the land of Qin. May the Qin people have biang biang noodles every day and visit Xianyang every month." Qin Shi Huang took a brush and ink and created a character for "biang" including parts of all of the words in his statement." This word 'biang' is difficult to remember or write.
