Lamb Spine Hot Pot

I have long heard that Beijingers love to eat sheep scorpions, so when I went to Beijing last week, the reporter was anxious to eat sheep scorpions once. The reporter first went straight to Shijingshan and found a well-known sheep scorpion shop, but perhaps the business was too good and the sheep scorpions were sold out. In desperation, they went to the food market and didn't eat the sheep scorpions until 0 pm. It was really a good thing. Where on earth is the goat scorpion, which easily captured the hearts of Beijingers? In fact, the sheep scorpion is the back bone of sheep. Because it looks like a scorpion, Beijingers call it the sheep scorpion. Walking into the store, the reporter and friends from the same trade asked for half a pot of sheep scorpions. I didn't expect this small pot of sheep scorpions to be as big as a small washbasin. The sheep scorpions piled up in a hill and were dressed in the pot. The soup in the pot only flooded to the half of the "hill". According to the custom of Beijingers, they don't add any seasoning at all. They grab the scorpion with their hands and chew it. When the meat is finished, they suck the bone marrow. So we followed suit. Don't tell me, this sheep scorpion smells bad, but it tastes delicious. The meat is tender and has no peculiar smell. That soup is very thick, as if with soy sauce and spices. It is very fresh and has a unique flavor. However, eating sheep and scorpions like this is not Sichuan people's strong point after all, and this half pot has not been finished. After eating, the reporter was still full of flavor, so he adapted the scorpion with the flavor of Sichuanese: if the scorpion is cooked in red soup, or dipped in Sichuan's dried Chili dish or a dipping dish with spices such as coriander, minced Chili, Jiang Mo and minced garlic, the effect may be better.
