The early morning sun is like a girl's eyes, gently looking at the surface of Jianma Lake, the original rippling lake surface is suddenly covered with a little golden scales, blown by the wind, the golden light flashes, as if there is life.

On a fishing boat with a small loft in the lake, the song of 'flowers' came out, although it was slightly unreliable, and even a little yellow, but it was crisp enough and young enough.

Young girls always have beautiful singing voices

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

Zhou Yi squatted on the foredeck, in front of a handmade red clay stove made by mountain people, and the iron pot on the stove was stewing milky white fish soup, and the umami smell spread, causing the wild cats in the grass on the shore to meow non-stop.

This is the most authentic fisherman's practice. Without oil, seasonings, or even salt, the fish is stewed in lake water, and the fish soup can be whiter than milk and fresher than crabs in autumn.

Even Guan Wei, a person who doesn't like to eat fish, has already circled around the stove several times, and his salivating appearance is really not much better than Zhu Xiaohua.

However, Comrade Xiaohua can't take care of eating at this time, this thing is lazily lying on the knee of 'Flower', half of his face is in close contact with the delicate ** of 'Flower', raising one left ear, enjoying his wife's exclusive service.

'Flower' is draped in a hair, holding an ear pick, is gently digging for him earwax, this thing seems to be deliberate, whenever the flower makes a piece of black and not yellow autosecretion induration, he will hum and chirp praise: "So comfortable, my flower craftsmanship is good, envy the death of that bachelor"

Comrade Xiaohua was completely stimulated by Zhou Yi, and showing the happiness of his husband and wife is his only means of fighting back at present.

"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? ”

"Well, it's time to roll over"

Zhou Yi muttered to himself.

"Haha, I know that your kid is peeking at our flowers, otherwise how would you know that buddy should change his other ear?"

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

"Look at you, I look at the fish."

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

"You"

Zhu Xiaohua was so angry that she didn't pick out her ears, and she turned over: "Third child, it's almost noon, isn't the long table banquet about to start?

"yes. But the fish stewed by the third child is really delicious. Guan Wei also nodded.

"Hehe, Xiaohua, you say this, but you expose the essence of the mallet."

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

"What kind of noodles? Of course, we are eating ramen here in Lu Province, what else can there be amazing?" Zhu Xiaohua said strangely.

"It's good ramen, but it's a beef and mutton soup made from beef and mutton bones!"

Zhou Yiyi smiled and said: "Southerners pay attention to drinking soup before eating, even before eating noodle soup, they still have to drink soup." This is because drinking soup can stimulate the taste buds, and after the taste is fully developed, you can not only increase your appetite, but also taste better. Although we northerners don't have this habit, we want to eat beef and mutton noodles today, and drink fish soup before meals. ”

"Fish and sheep are fresh?" Guan Wei's eyes lit up: "I said the third child, why do you want to cook fish soup, I see?"

"The second brother guessed it. ”

Zhou Yi nodded and said: "My fish soup is the original lake water with the original lake fish, the water is mountain spring water, and the fish is wild fish, so the taste is extremely fresh, which can fully stimulate your taste buds." And with this bowl of fish soup to open the way, it is guaranteed that when you eat beef and mutton noodles, you can eat a wonderful taste that you can't eat before. Now do you drink it, or do you drink it?"

"Damn, I've convinced you, and you can come up with a set of theories when you drink fish soup. ”

Zhu Xiaohua wanted to resist to the end, but as a foodie, she really couldn't resist the burst of fresh fragrance coming from the pots and bowls. What's more, 'Flower' had already rebelled, and was taking the fish soup from Zhou Yi's hand, drinking it so loudly that even the lady's demeanor was thrown aside.

Guan Wei had already started to drink the second bowl, and although Zhou Yi didn't put any seasonings in the pot of soup he cooked, it completely brought out the sweetness of the fish itself, and it was not an exaggeration to say that it was the first soup in the world. In the face of this temptation, even if the real Second Brother Guan is reborn, he can't resist it.

Seeing that the small half pot of soup was about to bottom out, Zhu Xiaohua rushed over with an arrow step: "Damn, where is my bowl?"

The fish soup was quickly drunk. Two men and one woman and three amateur foodies stroked their stomachs, not only did they not feel full, but they felt more hungry, and they looked forward to the upcoming long table banquet more and more.

A loud whistle sounded at this moment. Followed by countless whistles one after another, Yunshui Village, Shangxiazha Village, and Liulilouzi Village were boiling, and the elderly, children, men, and mothers-in-law came out of their homes in a swarm, carrying the tables and stools at home, forming long snakes, and began to gather on the road

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

Zhou Yi smiled: "Foodies, dock, let's go!"

***

There are a total of seventeen villages in the Yunshui Mountains, but most of them are in the mountains farther away, and some have even crossed the provincial border and entered the Jade Province.

Moreover, there are only four villages around Jianma Lake: Yunshui Village, Shangxiazha Village and Liulilouzi Village, which retain the folk customs of the long table banquet.

But even if only four villages participated, the momentum was huge. Thousands of families were all dispatched, there were six or seven thousand people, and each family carried out at least one table, which is in the mountains, if it is in the city, a long table banquet can make the whole city congested.

Fortunately, more than half of the thousands of tables were placed in the Pingshi Valley at the junction of Yunshui Village and Liulilouzi Village according to the pre-planned plan. The whole shape is like a squid with a big head, except that the tentacles of this squid fish are a little less and longer.

Even so, the dining table brigade sticking out of the mouth of the valley is also placed dozens of meters out, which is extremely spectacular. Zhou Yi and the others followed behind Li Yuanfang, walking and amazed, they really couldn't think of how many stoves they needed to make seven or eight thousand people eat soup noodles at the same time.

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

This valley is also worthy of its name, there is only a shallow layer of loess on the ground in the valley, and below it is a layer of rocks, and there are cliffs on three sides, just encompassing this valley of three or four thousand square meters.

This kind of terrain is very common in the northern hilly areas, not only can not grow crops, but even the growth of wild grasses is relatively difficult, which is suitable for a large number of mountain people to gather.

In the valley, a circle of tables has been set up at this moment, and the mountain people are grouped by village, arranged in an orderly manner, and in the most central circle, dozens of 'standing furnaces' have long been piled up with red clay.

This kind of 'standing furnace' is more than half a person high, and even the big iron pot used by the troops when marching can be placed, and a single furnace can produce noodle soup eaten by hundreds of people; next to these 'standing furnaces' are noodles one after another, and there are noodle pockets piled up next to the case, and the master in charge of the noodle case has already begun to get busy, and a lump of oily noodles that has woken up is neatly stacked on the table, waiting for the ramen noodles to be put out of the pot.

Li Yuanfang settled Zhou Yi and them behind the table at his house, and said with a smile: "Brother Zhou, this noodle is big enough, right? Don't worry, the beef and mutton soup in the soup pot is about to roll, just wait for noon, the soup noodles will be put into the pot, and a few people will let go of their stomachs to eat?"

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

Zhou Yi smiled, raised his eyes and saw Master Hong standing in front of a noodle case, beckoning to him, so he said, "Second brother, Xiaohua, you sit down first, and I'll say a word to Master Hong." ”

"What's the matter, Master Hong?" Zhou Yi walked to the front desk and lowered his voice.

"Xiao Zhou, it's a little troublesome this time"

Master Hong glanced at the dense mountain people gathered around, and said with a wry smile: "In the past, the dishes were fought in the final stage of the noodle banquet, and the chefs from each village went to the restaurant in Liulilouzi Village to fight, but this time the villagers of several villages asked for open-air dishes, and our village also agreed."

"Open-air fighting?"

Zhou Yi also frowned.

"Yes, how can you do this open-air fight? or Xiao Zhou, you can do it yourself, I can't do it."

"Don't worry, I have a solution. ”

Zhou Yi's eyes rolled and he thought about it.

"What else can be done about this?"

"Just two words" Zhou Yi leaned on Master Hong's ear and said softly: "Pretend~ force!"
