Xinyuan mutton

Xinyuan mutton is a special food in Xinyuan New Town, Siyang County, Suqian City, Jiangsu Province. The cooking of Xinyuan mutton series dishes is unique and famous. New Yuan Naixin Ji and Yuan Ji were collectively called renhe town in the early Qing Dynasty. Legend has it that when Emperor Qianlong went down to the south of the Yangtze River, he passed through Sanchahekou, Xinyuan section of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal. At noon, he disembarked impromptu and looked around. A picture of "the wind blowing the grass to see cattle and sheep" made him feel relaxed and happy and decided to "eat" here. The local officials asked the famous chef to cook a delicious local goat meat. After tasting it, Emperor Qianlong was delighted and blurted out: "This is a delicious food on earth, and Renhe mutton is the best in the world." Since then, Xinyuan mutton has become famous in the world as a tribute to the imperial court, and its fragrance has floated all over the world. Xinyuan, an ancient town, became famous. The admirable Xinyuan mutton is unique in four aspects. First, high quality and delicious taste; Second, it is suitable for all seasons; The third is to eat its series; Fourth, the cooking skill is unique. Xinyuan Town is adjacent to Hongze Lake in the south, and the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, the ancient Yellow River and the Huangma River pass through the territory. There are Xintan Lake and the existing Lantern Lake in the territory, with many slopes along the river bank, large beach area, rich aquatic plants, fresh and humid air and fine goat breeding. The processed goat meat is delicate and delicious, with the characteristics of crispy meat, tender, not fat or greasy, fresh and tasteless. From the seasonal point of view, it can be described as "suitable for all seasons", especially eating summer mutton is a must for Xinyuan. Because of the strong smell of mutton, mutton is generally eaten in winter in most areas, and cooked with spicy ingredients such as pointed pepper, pepper, ginger and scallion. As for summer, don't talk about eating, just mention the word mutton, which seems to have made me feel bad. But in Xinyuan, eating mutton in summer is no longer a myth. You can't even taste the tender and palatable mutton. When you arrive in Xinyuan, you can only be considered as glad you came if you have tasted the summer mutton, not to mention the "layman's words" such as "can you eat mutton in summer". Now "Xinyuan mutton" is no longer a simple concept of "meat", but a "sheep series" From the beginning of eating sheep's head, sheep's mouth strips, sheep's brain, sheep's eyes, sheep's blood, sheep ribs, mutton, sheep's liver, sheep's belly, sheep's heart, sheep's lungs, sheep's intestines, sheep's legs and sheep's balls can be said to be eaten from beginning to end, and then roasted, fried, fried, stewed and cold-baked.
