"Seven (eat) a grid, seven (eat) bowl noodles." This is a playful words describing the Kaijiang people eating lamb grid.

If you go to the noodle restaurant alone, the diners will be called Gege, while eating grid, while waiting for noodles, some people pour Grid into the noodle bowl, and then taste it with a taste. Don't have a bit of fragrance.

If it is a three -five friend to enter the face restaurant, the owner of the restaurant will take the initiative to give each customer a pioneering lamb grid, and the diners will sprinkle with a little pepper noodles, pepper noodles, or onion, coriander, etc. Then chatting while eating. Those who are still overwhelmed, do not forget that after eating the grid, the boss boss "a few more". The runner brought three or five, and it was not until everyone was satisfied that they were satisfied.

Old people with good wine, drill into the pasta shop when the diners are young, call one or two mutton grids, scoop two or two old celles, eat while drinking, and drink with the surrounding old people from time to time. Self -looking.

Kaijiang Lamb Ge is undoubtedly the first cuisine in Kaijiang.

After the water in the steamer is boiled, steam it for 3-4 minutes, and SAIC Gege can be eaten with mist and aroma.

Perhaps the lamb is too small to be too small to go to the elegant hall. On the menu of the restaurant, it can hardly see its shadow, but it is a snack restaurant, which can always be seen. In Kaijiang County, almost all of the breakdown restaurants that sell noodles can be seen in the steamer stacked like a towering pagoda and the lamb in the stone forest. The diners picked the noodles while they were tediously graded.
