Short for mutton buns, buns, the ancient name "sheep soup". The poet Su Shi of the Northern Song Dynasty wrote a poem that reads, "Longzhuan has a bear's wax, and Qin's cooking is only a sheep's soup.

Donkey meat hot pot
As the saying goes, "Dragon meat in the sky, donkey meat on the ground", which shows the status of donkey meat in the world.
The cake is cooked in a cake pan and then baked, making it burnt on the outside and tender on the inside, which is a unique flavor.
Splitting it with a knife while it is still hot and adding hot cooked donkey meat is the most authentic way to eat it.
There are countless dishes featured in this documentary, but that's not the only reason it's exploding with word-of-mouth.
