"Open the table!"

After Li Chaosheng finished shouting, there was a loud voice in the clan to help shout, and in an instant, the third grandfather and the fourth grandfather who were staring at the meat pot over there knocked the stick in their hands to the ground and said, "Below, out of the meat!" ”

With a roar, the village women opened the lid of the ten cauldrons, which were filled with hot water, and then lowered the finished noodles inside, shaking them as they went down to prevent them from sticking together.

On the other side, at this time, the five stewed meat cauldrons were opened, and the aroma of the stewed meat inside was fragrant, and the two old men were hungry, and then a village woman used an iron hook to gouge out a piece of pork.

At this time, he took a freshly sharpened kitchen knife and began to cut the pork, cutting the pork into large slices, large slices.

The third grandfather, the fourth grandfather swallowed his saliva, and at this time the first pot of noodles was cooked, and a total of ten bowls came out, and the noodles came out of the pot and handed them to the person next to the cauldron with hanging bone broth: "Add a soup." ”

A large bowl of noodles and a spoonful of bone broth were passed to the last stew, and the village woman who cut the meat added five large slices of pork to each bowl, and covered the bowl with a single plate of meat, and then someone brought the noodles to the main table.

The third grandfather, the fourth grandfather, that is, the elder of the three clans and the elder of the four clans, also walked over and sat on the table at this time, at the same time, someone behind the village woman carefully moved out a jar of vinegar, this is a baby, usually the big guy can't eat vinegar.

Then someone brought the garlic cloves, so a big bowl of meat noodles on the main table was counted, and the village woman served some side dishes, pickled pickle strips at home, but the mouth was not very salty, the reason is also very simple, salt is a valuable item in this era, the state monopolizes it, and the people want to eat salt at a high price to buy.

Otherwise, the smugglers of salt would have made a fortune in these years, mainly because of the state monopoly.

The noodles at this banquet this time are not light, Li Chaosheng bought a lot of large grains of salt for this meal, and put soy sauce when stewing meat, you must know that the soy sauce villagers have never eaten it, this cost is too high, and it belongs to the rich people in the city to eat.

Tanggou Town, where you can't eat rice, there is money to eat soy sauce, it is impossible, and the vinegar is also bought, Shaanxi people love to be jealous, but it is not easy to eat in this era, vinegar is the same as wine, it is brewed from grain.

"Come, eat, first bite, thank you Chaosheng for inviting everyone to eat such a good thing."

The old patriarch Li Jin adjusted the tone, and the big guys also echoed it, Li Chaosheng smiled and was polite to everyone, and followed the old patriarch to say that he was eating noodles, and the people at the first table began to eat noodles with a slurp, and the one that was eaten was called a fragrant.

And when Li Chaosheng took a bite, he was suddenly stunned, this side is too salty!

The old patriarch and the elders of the clan were eating with relish at this time, and when they saw Li Chaosheng like this, they immediately frowned and said, "What's wrong?" ”

"Ahem~ It's okay, it's just that the noodles are a little salty."

Hearing this, the old patriarch said: "It's a little salty, the big guy usually eats salt very sparingly, and there is a lack of salt in the body. ”

The old patriarch said, and after hearing this, Li Chaosheng waved his hand again and again: "What did you say, it's just so salty, can the big guy eat it?" ”

The old patriarch said: "It should be no problem, I eat it very well, what do you think?" ”

The other clan elders nodded again and again: "It's delicious, it's delicious, it's just right, it's just right." ”

Is it exact?

Li Chaosheng was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then understood that human beings' demand for salt is different, for example, people who do heavy physical work for a long time are definitely different from urban white-collar workers who sit still for a long time.

Those who work long hours have a greater need for salt, and when I was a child, I heard my grandfather tell me that when he was young, he worked as a cook in the village production team, and the people in his cooking production team liked to eat it, saying that he was good at it.

But then the big collective was disbanded, he was cooking for the family, everyone said it was too salty, grandpa said that he understood at that time, not how good his cooking skills were when he was in the production team, but he was willing to put salt, everyone worked all morning, the salt flow was very heavy, at this time the mouth was focused, everyone will think it is delicious.

When the production team was in full supply, the big guys were so short of salt, not to mention that this group of people at the end of the Ming Dynasty must be even more short of salt, so they don't feel very salty, and even say it's just right.

The noodles are made from one pot at a time, but except for the first pot with a table, the rest are all big bowls of noodles that the clansmen eat, and after queuing up to make noodles in the noodle pot, they go to the soup pot to get a spoonful of bone broth, and then come to the meat pot, five large meat slices per person.

Someone gave you a small spoonful of vinegar and two garlic cloves, and after that, the people holding the bowl of noodles found a comfortable place for themselves, or sat down, or squatted and began to eat noodles.

But there are still more squatting, one by one eating fragrantly, the face is filled with an indescribable sense of happiness, noodles and meat, this is simply the day of the gods.

Brother Chaosheng is the god who came down from the sky to save the big guy, how good it would be if he could eat noodles and meat every day in the future, no, no, the meat is too luxurious, even if he can eat noodles every day, it will be a fairy-like day.

The people who eat noodles can't help but laugh when they think about it, they really dare to think, eat noodles all at once, won't they become rich people? It is said that Wang Laocai's family only eats noodles once a day, and the remaining two meals rely on mixed noodles and steamed buns to fight hunger.

The big guy was eating, and Mengzi was also squatting on the ground not far from the main table at this time eating noodles, and his face was also full of happiness.

At this time, all the clan elders at the main table had finished eating, and the extra plate of meat for them had already bottomed out, and the big guy happily dodged away, and only Li Chaosheng was left on the table, and Li Chaosheng's noodles at this time barely moved, it was too salty, and his body was not short of salt.

"Mengzi, Dezhen Debao."

Li Chaosheng beckoned to the three people not far from him at this time, and the three of them quickly came closer.

"What's the matter with Brother Chaosheng (uncle)?"

Li Chaosheng pointed to his noodle bowl and said, "The three of you will share one point, and I won't eat it." ”

"Ah, uncle, you don't even eat such delicious noodles?"

"Yes, Brother Chaosheng, are you so uncomfortable, I'll go and invite Lang Zhong to you."

Hearing this, Mengzi said anxiously, Li Chaosheng waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it's salty, I can't eat it." ”

"Is it salty?"

Li Chaomeng looked at Li Dezhen, Li Dezhen looked at Li Debao, and then shook his head in unison: "Isn't it salty?" ”

Li Chaosheng didn't bother to explain to them: "You hurry up and eat, I'll go to the patriarch to talk about something first, and you have to accompany me out in the afternoon." ”

"Yes, understood."

The three of them responded when they heard this, followed by Qi Qi to look at Li Chaosheng's noodle bowl, and the next moment they heard the sound of scrambling.

"Uncle Mengzi, your chopsticks are too ruthless, take away three pieces of meat at once!"
