It was so exhilarating that we could take the newly built Maokong Gondola to Maokong in search of the string noodles. Although the touring party had us waiting for a long time before we could get on the gondola, our spirit was not in the least depressed. Maokong, which abounds in tea, is a famous scenic spot in Mucha and now highly reputed for the Maokong Gondola recently brought into service. We came here for the tea oil string noodles, but beyond our expectation, we also discovered the green tea string noodles. These are both well-known Maokong tea dishes too good to be missed. Qing Quan is a restaurant our teacher frequents.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The humorous boss, who likes bantering, told us that tea is a special local product of Maokong and they use Mucha string noodles as their raw material (he said: “Don't be kidding! Our Mucha string noodles are known to the whole world. How can we quit it?”) However, when we asked him from where they procure the string noodles, he said: “The grocery down at the foot of the hill.” As regards the source of the string noodles of the grocery, he only knew that they are from Mucha and had no idea about the producer. Moreover, the green tea string noodles should not be produced by hand, but by machine with tea added to the dough in the process of dough kneading, and the boss said they are probably not from Mucha. We all prefer the tea oil string noodles, feeling that the green tea string noodles taste bitter, probably due to the presence of tea.
