Xianning Mixed Vegetable Noodles

　　A long time ago, people did not live very prosperous lives. A family surnamed Liu held a banquet for their neighbors to celebrate their son’s wedding. The weather was very cold, the dishes were neither good nor plentiful, and soon there were no more side dishes left to go with the rice. A guest surnamed Chen suggested: “Please ask the host to combine the leftover dishes on the table, heat them up, and serve them with the rice.” Out of necessity, the host mixed the remaining stir-fried noodles, shredded tofu, shredded pickled mustard greens, and broth in the plates, then heated them together. To their surprise, the reheated leftovers turned out to be surprisingly delicious. Later, people began to regard this mixed dish as a classic home-style delicacy, used to entertain guests from all over.
