People in Wuqi County, Shaanxi Province cut mutton into large pieces and put them in a pot with bones and meat to stew with slow fire. After cooking, each person has one serving, which is called "hand-grabbed mutton". The local proverb says, "the bones of pigs and the bone marrow of sheep". After the mutton bone and meat are stewed, its bone marrow is in soup, which is original and delicious. Therefore, mutton is generally not boned to sell meat.

Sheep often eat thyme grass, and their meat is not fat. Wuqi county's "hundred miles" are everywhere, and flowers bloom all year round. Every year, sheep can eat a lot of thyme. After June, sheep are fat and strong, which is the time to eat. "On June 6th, the new wheat flour was steamed with a bun to make mutton", which means that mutton has been on the market. In case of traditional festivals, every family kills sheep and smells incense. Wuqi county has established a large mutton processing factory, and its series of products such as spiced mutton, tripe, liver, brain and hoof are well-known at home and abroad.
