Qin Shi Huang after, and then launched a unified South China (Baiyue) war. In the mountainous south, and transportation difficulties, the rear of the forage, not the normal supply to the front, Qin Jun had to place requisitions. But Qin Jun mostly northerners, usually with wheat flour-based food, they fought to the south, because not used to rice, causing many soldiers agitated, vomiting and diarrhea, the Qin was fighting a serious decline, a direct impact on the unified the success or failure of the war. So to solve the food problem has become a top priority for the moment.

How to evolve imaging wheat flour as rice let Qin Jun soldiers accepted the task to Lu Qin history of cooks have to complete. The production principle cooks noodles Hele Northwest, the first swollen rice, ground rice milk, the water drained, knead dough.

Han Yuan Ding six years Jianshi County (formerly the city of Guilin), a large number of immigrants steep north moved Guilin, including as descendants of Zhuge Liang, Han Xin, Tao Yuanming, Zhou Dunyi, Li Shimin, Zhao Kuangyin, Zhu Yuanzhang and so many historical figures, these northern immigrants came to Guilin , rice flour called as "rice", this title, has continued to the present.

Ancient Guilin rice noodle production process

Rice flour, rice flower and other food production process, is derived from the Qin Dynasty in winemaking out.

Rice appeared in Xing'an earliest dating back 6,000 years ago in the Neolithic Age. Rice flour and rice invention brewing technology inseparable. Heap Huajiu (Jiang Rong three Huajiu), is the repair chisel ling qu craftsmen, "brewed liquor benzene song Law" with the technology of the Qin Dynasty, brewed in Lingqu edge ditty flavor wine.

The prevalence of the Qin Dynasty wine culture, led to the development of food processing industry, many craftsmen as Qin Junnan wine down to the southern. The advanced brewing technology to be Lingqu. When brewed with a heap Huajiu Qin every time it leaves a lot of raw materials, process these materials were treated in the process became gradually evolved to do rice. After each brewing drink, have the rest of the craftsmen of these remaining raw material (called a "feed") directly after the heat and cook with seasonings soft eating delicious than eating pure rice, the use of feed becomes large up. Arts for the People "supper meal" chapter, the "pulp with a fragrant and warm water, dip feed is low, so there is no move to hand pieces, small complex stop, then strong," that is to say in a sauce called incense pulp after heating the water to soak for a period of time after the feed, rice knead by hand, do not let it have lumps, stay a little while, will feed into the inside of the altar has become a rice milk, rice milk rice has become to do.

So, how to deal with rice milk into flour it? Initially using a tool Qin horns.

If you do cut powder, the copper basin with a water pot on the rice milk ladle into Tongpen tuned after boiling water poured into blocks cooked fish to cut it into a powder. Horns first sheet is the main tool used to make rice flour.

Methods folk processed rice flower of Hung Yen, still followed the method of the Qin Dynasty with manual processing, as rice flowers are not widely used, where they are processed by the method did not take it seriously, so the popcorn processing methods millennium change, since ancient times has been followed . The rice is different, with the increasing demand of its people, some people have continued to make an issue of how batch processing rice technology, such as Ming and Qing Dynasties, rice processing and processing by hand to make a simple wooden tools, and then developed into a modern semi-mechanized and mechanized mass production, basically to meet the needs of different groups at different times.
