A Strip of Noodle with Soup
面汤-一根面
It tastes delicious with thick soup and pliable noodles, enjoying high favor among people. It is said that in a scholarly family in the old town Nanzhao, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were not getting along well and squabbling with each other almost every day, leaving no peace to the family. The father-in-law, a well-read scholar believed it would disharmonize and dishonor the family if things went like this, giving others chance to laugh at them. He was wrapped in thought for a long time before finally finding a way to solve this problem—making the soup with one long string of noodle, for it needed cooperation and concentration to make such a long noodle; then the mother-in-law, daughter-in-law and sister-in-law gathered together to make it with concerted efforts. Finally they made it. While having the meal, the father-in-law said what they ate that day was one-heart noodle, and hence they would be of one heart forever. The families lived in harmony from then on.
