The morning sun was like a girl's eyes, looking gently at the surface of Jianma Lake. The originally rippling blue lake surface was suddenly covered with golden scales. When the wind blew, the golden light flashed, as if it was alive.

On a fishing boat with a small cabin in the lake, the singing voice of "Hua Hua" came out. Although it was a little unreliable, and even had some yellow accents and was out of tune, it was clear enough and young enough.

Young girls always sing beautifully...

Hua Hua is three years younger than Zhu Xiaohua, and has always been pampered like a child by the deputy section chief, so even her singing is full of jumping youth.

Zhou Yi squatted on the front deck, with a red clay stove handmade by mountain people in front of him. The iron pot on the stove was simmering milky-white fish soup.

The wild cats all meowed non-stop.

This is the most authentic fisherman's method. No oil, seasonings, or even salt are used. Lake water is used to stew lake fish. The resulting fish soup can be whiter than milk and fresher than crabs in autumn.

Even Guan Wei, who doesn't like fish, has already circled the stove several times, and his salivating look is really not much better than Zhu Xiaohua's.

But Comrade Xiaohua couldn't care less about eating at the moment. He was lying lazily on Huahua's knees, half of his face was in close contact with Huahua's delicate breasts, and he raised one left ear, enjoying it.

Exclusive service for my wife.

'Huahua' has a mess of hair, holding an ear pick, and is gently picking out his earwax. It seems like he did it on purpose. Every time Huahua makes a piece of autologous induration that is either black or yellow.

When he saw something, he would hum and praise: "It's so comfortable. The craftsmanship of my flowers is really good. I'm so jealous of that bachelor..."

Comrade Xiaohua was completely stimulated by Zhou Yi, and showing off the happiness of the couple was his only way to fight back.

"Aren't you leisurely? Don't you live in an exclusive courtyard? Don't you eat green food and drink self-pressed oil all day long? I can't compare to my brother, but my brother's wife is beautiful and gentle. I envy you to death.

"

"Well, you can turn over now..."

Zhou Yi murmured to himself.

"Haha, I knew your kid was peeking at our flowers, otherwise how would you know it was time for my brother to change his other ear?"

Zhu Xiaohua is so proud, just like Hu Hansan who has returned to the village.

"Look at you? I'm looking at the fish..."

Zhou Yi picked up a pair of chopsticks, blew away the hot mist, and turned the fish over.

"you......"

Zhu Xiaohua was so angry that she stopped picking her ears and stood up: "Lao San, it's almost noon. Isn't the long table banquet about to start? There will be delicious food by then. You can prepare this fish.

What to do?”

"Yes. But the fish stewed by Lao San is really delicious." Guan Wei also nodded.

"Haha, Xiaohua, when you say this, you have revealed the nature of Bang Chui..."

Zhou Yi smiled and took out four bowls and filled the fish soup with a spoon: "Do you know what kind of noodles are eaten in this long table banquet?"

"What kind of noodles? Of course we eat ramen here in Shandong Province, what else is there that is surprising?" Zhu Xiaohua asked curiously.

“The ramen is good, but it uses beef and mutton soup specially made from beef and mutton bones!”

Zhou Yi smiled and said: "Southerners pay attention to drinking soup before meals. Even before eating soup noodles, you still have to drink soup. This is because drinking soup can stimulate the taste buds and fully develop the taste before eating the main meal, which not only increases the appetite

It's open, and it tastes better. Although we northerners don't have this habit, today we are going to eat beef and mutton noodles and drink fish soup before meals. There is something to say. Brother, you are a cultural person, you know.

"

"Fish and sheep are fresh?" Guan Wei's eyes lit up: "I said, Lao San, why do you want to cook fish soup? Is that so?"

"The second brother will hit the mark right away."

Zhou Yi nodded and said: "My fish soup is made of original lake water and original lake fish. The water is mountain spring water and the fish is wild fish. Therefore, it tastes extremely fresh and can fully stimulate your taste buds. And with this bowl of fish soup, I guarantee that you will

When eating beef and mutton noodles, you can enjoy a wonderful taste that you couldn't eat before. Are you going to drink it now, or drink it?"

"Damn, I'm convinced, you can come up with a theory even after drinking fish soup."

Zhu Xiaohua wanted to fight to the end, but as a foodie, she really couldn't resist the delicious aroma coming from the pots and bowls. What's more, 'Huahua' had already rebelled and was taking the fish soup from Zhou Yi and drinking it.

There was a whirring sound, and even the ladylike demeanor was thrown aside.

Guan Wei had already started to drink the second bowl. Although the soup cooked by Zhou Yi did not add any seasoning, it fully brought out the freshness and sweetness of the fish. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the best soup in the world. Noodles

Even if the real second brother Guan is reborn, he probably won't be able to resist this kind of temptation.

Seeing that half of the pot of soup was about to reach the bottom, Zhu Xiaohua rushed over: "Damn, where's my bowl?"

The fish soup was quickly drank up. The three amateur foodies, two men and one woman, stroked their bellies. Not only did they not feel full, but they actually felt hungrier. They became more and more looking forward to the upcoming long table banquet.

A loud whistle sounded at this moment. Followed by countless whistles one after another, Yunshui Village, Shangxiazha Village, and Liulilouzi Village were boiling. Old people, children, men and women came out of their homes in a swarm.

, carrying the table at home and holding stools, they formed long snakes and began to gather towards the road...

The biggest event in Yunshui Mountains, the annual long table banquet, has begun!

Zhou Yi chuckled: "Foodies, dock and set off!"

***

There are a total of seventeen villages, large and small, in the Yunshui Mountain Area, but most of the villages are in the mountains farther away, and some have even crossed the provincial border and entered Yu Province.

Moreover, only four villages around Jianma Lake, Yunshui Village, Shangxiazha Village and Liulilouzi Village, have retained the folk custom of long table banquets.

But even if only four villages participated, the momentum was extremely huge. Thousands of families all came out, with a total of six to seven thousand people, and each family carried at least one table. This is in the mountains.

If you are in a city, a long table banquet can cause congestion in the whole city.

Fortunately, more than half of the thousands of tables were arranged in the Pingshi Valley at the junction of Yunshui Village and Liulilouzi Village according to a pre-planned plan. If there was really no room for them, they were extended from the mouth of the valley to the mountain roads on both sides. The whole shape is like

It's like a big-headed squid, except that this squid has fewer tentacles and longer ones.

Even so, the row of dining tables that stretched out of the valley mouth stretched out for dozens of meters, which was extremely spectacular. Zhou Yi and the others followed Li Yuanfang, admiring them as they walked. They really couldn't imagine that seven or eight thousand people would be allowed to sit there at the same time.

How many stoves are needed to eat soup noodles?

It wasn't until he walked into Pingshi Valley that Zhou Yi finally understood.

This valley is worthy of its name. There is only a shallow layer of loess on the ground inside the valley, and there are layers of rocks below. There are cliffs on three sides, which just covers the valley with an area of ​​three to four thousand square meters.

This kind of landform is very common in the northern hilly areas. Not only is it impossible to grow crops, but it is also difficult for weeds to grow. It is just right for a large number of mountain people to gather.

In the valley, circles of tables have been set up. The mountain people are grouped by villages and arranged in an orderly manner. In the center circle, dozens of 'vertical stoves' have been piled up with red mud.

This kind of "vertical stove" is more than half a person tall, and can even accommodate the large iron pot used by the troops when marching. One furnace hole can cook soup noodles for hundreds of people; next to these "vertical stoves"

, there are noodle cases one after another, and there are noodle bags piled next to them. The master in charge of the noodle cases has already started to work, and the lumps of cooked noodles are neatly stacked on the table, waiting for them.

Finished the pot with ramen.

Li Yuanfang settled Zhou Yi and the others behind the table in his home, and said with a smile: "Brother Zhou, is this scene big enough? Don't worry, the beef and mutton soup in the soup pot is almost boiling, just wait until a quarter of noon for the noodles to be cooked.

Do you want to eat with your stomach open?"

"Brother Yuanfang, don't worry, these people I brought here are all foodies."

Zhou Yi chuckled, raised his eyes and saw Master Hong standing in front of a face table, waving and winking to him, and then said: "Brother, Xiaohua, you guys sit down first, I will have a word with Master Hong."

"What's wrong, Master Hong?" Zhou Yi walked to the interview case and lowered his voice.

"Xiao Zhou, there's a little trouble this time..."

Master Hong glanced at the dense crowd of mountain people surrounding him and said with a wry smile: "Usually, the vegetable fights are held at the last stage of the noodle banquet. The chefs from each village go to the restaurant in Liulilouzi Village to fight, but this time a few...

But the villagers in the village asked for outdoor vegetable fighting, and our village agreed..."

"Open-air fighting?"

Zhou Yi also frowned.

"Yeah, how can you take action in this open-air fight? How about you do it yourself, Xiao Zhou? I can't..."

"Don't worry, I have a solution."

Zhou Yi turned his eyes, and his plan came to mind.

"What else can be done?"

"Just two words..." Zhou Yi lay on Master Hong's ear and said softly: "Pretend!"
