武汉的热干面有怎样的故事
20世纪30年代初期，汉口长堤街有个名叫李包的食贩，在关帝庙一带靠卖凉粉和汤面为生。
有一天，天气异常炎热，不少剩面未卖完，他怕面条发馊变质，便将剩面煮熟沥干，晾在案板上。
一不小心，碰倒案上的油壶，麻油泼在面条上。
李包见状，无可奈何，只好将面条用油拌匀重新晾放。
第二天早上，李包将拌油的熟面条放在沸水里稍烫，捞起沥干入碗，然后加上卖凉粉用的调料，弄得热气腾腾，香气四溢。
人们争相购买，吃得津津有味。
有人问他卖的是什么面，他脱口而出，说是“热干面”。
从此他就专卖这种面，不仅人们竞相品尝，还有不少人向他拜师学艺。
过了几年，有位姓蔡的在中山大道满春路口开设了一家热干面面馆，取财源茂盛之意，叫做“蔡林记”，成为武汉市经营热干面的名店。
后迁至汉口水塔对面的中山大道上，改名武汉热干面。
