In order to prevent the people from rebelling, the rulers confiscated the metal utensils of each household and made relevant regulations, and each household had a kitchen knife. Cut vegetables and cook in turn, and return them to the Tatars after use. One noon, an old man's wife made noodles into dough and asked him to get a kitchen knife. As a result, the knife was taken away and the old man had to go home and wait. Who knows that the old man was touched by something as soon as he left the Tatar Gate. He looked down and found that it was a thin piece of iron, picked it up and put it in his arms. After returning home, the pot kept ringing, and the whole family waited for noodles, but the knife was not brought back. The old man was anxious. Suddenly, he thought of the iron piece in his arms and took it out and said, "Use this iron piece to cut the plane!" " "When my wife saw that the iron sheet was thin and soft, she murmured," How can something so soft be sliced? "The old man said angrily," easily cut. "The word' chop' reminds my wife of the scene when she put the dough on the board and rubbed it. She picked up the iron piece in her left hand and stood by the pot and chopped the noodles into the boiling water pot. " Pieces of dough fell into the pot, cooked, fished out and put in a bowl, and poured with salt water for the old people to eat. The old man praised while eating. In this way, one spread to ten, ten spread to hundreds, spread all over the land of Sanjin, and was favored by people.
