One day, some doves (鸽子) went to find food. The doves landed to eat some rice on the ground. Then a net (网) fell on the doves. They tried to fly away. But the net was too powerful.

The doves were afraid. Then the king of the doves said, “Do not give up!”. The king told each dove to hold the net in its beak (鸟喙). The king said, “Fly now!”. The doves spread their wings. Some lifted the net and flew away. But some doves were still in the net. The king said, “I know a mouse in town. He could help us.”

The doves flew to town. They found a hole in a wall. The mouse lived in the hole. The mouse was afraid of the noise the doves made. He hid in his hole. The king said, “Do not give up!” Together, the doves called, “Help!”

The mouse heard the word. He came out of his hole, and bit until all the doves were free. The doves thanked their king. The king said, “I didn’t save you. We did it together.”

With a habit of drinking coffee while working, Wu Zibo, an office worker in Beijing, wanted to order a cup of Moutai-flavored latte (茅台味拿铁). “I want to know how my father’s favorite Chinese liquor (白酒) would taste with my favorite coffee,” Wu said.

Moutai has tried many ways in recent years to be more innovative, such as by bringing out Moutai ice cream and canvas(帆布) bags. “This cooperation (合作) lets Moutai make its brand younger,” shared Li Honghui, a marketing director for drinks. Through cooperation, brands can share what they need, make the market bigger, and bring more creative products and new experiences to buyers.

The team-up between China’s top liquor maker Kweichow Moutai and famous coffee brand Luckin Coffee has become a hot topic, selling 5.42 million cups and earning 100 million yuan just on the first day. Topics related to Jiangxiang Latte gained over 110 million viewers and over 20,000 online discussions on China’s social media platform Sina Weibo as of the press time on the second day.

In 2023, China’s cooperation market will grow to over 100 billion (十亿) yuan and may reach 300 billion yuan by 2025, according to China Daily. However, poorly considered cooperation may have bad results and even hurt brands. “The key to making a cooperation work is about how good the products are. The companies should not just focus on getting the public excited,” said Li.

Chinese noodles have a long history. They were first mentioned in the Eastern Han Dynasty, over l,900 years ago. At that time, noodles were called “cakes”. They were “cakes” that were boiled in water.

From the beginning of the Eastern Han Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, there were written records about noodles. “Mian” became the name of noodles in the Song Dynasty. Before that, there was no specific name for this kind of food.

There are all kinds of noodles, such as cold noodles, warm noodles and fried noodles. There are also all kinds of noodle making methods (方法), such as brushing, pressing, rolling and pulling.

China is where many kinds of food originated (起源), including the noodles, such as spaghetti (意大利面条), which we think came from other countries. In the Yuan Dynasty, Marco Polo came to China. He learned to make noodles, and then taught the method when he went back to his country. In 1912, the traditional Chinese method of noodle making was brought to Japan. Japanese noodles were first called “Dragon Noodles”, meaning food eaten by the Chinese—the descendants (后代) of the Dragon.

Among all Chinese noodles, the most special type may be Yi Noodles (伊府面). They were created by a chef (厨师) in the Qing Dynasty. Yi Noodles are made in both southern and northern China, but Fujian and Jiangxi Provinces are the most famous for making Yi Noodles. Yi Noodles can be served dry or with soup. Since Yi Noodles are similar to modern instant noodles (方便面), they are considered to be the father of modern instant noodles.
