I was born in Zigong, Sichuan. My parents both work in Zigong salt factory (Zigong produces well salt) and my grandpa used to be a boiler man in salt factory. So my life has an intimate connection with salt. Now I live in Chengdu. Cold noodle and wolf-teeth potato are the most popular snacks in Zigong. The most exciting things in my childhood is to go to the grocery next to school to buy cold noodle or wolf-teeth potato after school, eat them and come back home with my classmate. My mom had opened a food stall to sell cold noodle and wolf-teeth potato for many years. If I was at home, l would help her to cut and fry potato, steam and cool noodle. My mom's stall was very popular because her flavor was good and unique. Now if I'm homesick, I will cook this two dishes at home with well salt and chili from my hometown, it's absolutely authentic Mom's flavor.
