In southwestern China, spicy（辛辣的）food is welcomed, so the chilies（辣椒）and peppers are common in local noodle diets. And in southeastern coastal area, seafood supply is enough and people often add shellfishes to the noodles. In North China’s Shanxi province, it is said that there are over 280 kinds of noodles. Among the many Shanxi noodles, the sliced noodle is the most famous one. It is a noodle sliced with a special blade.
