Speaking of Xuzhou's specialties, there are countless: crispy and crunchy children's halva; round and sweet red Fuji apples; fragrant and large Xinyi chestnuts... and Peixian County dog ??meat with turtle sauce is also unique due to its uniqueness.

Its color, tangy fragrance, soft texture, original turtle juice and crisp but not greasy dog ??meat make it "among" Xuzhou's specialties.

There is a poem by Su'er: The smell of dog meat fills the city, but Liu Bang won't open his business if he doesn't eat it.

Pei County dog ??meat has a long history, dating back more than 2,000 years.

To say how "famous" it is, it must be attributed to two celebrities in Pei County in the early Han Dynasty-Liu Bang and Fan Kuai.

Liu Bang was from Peixian County and was friends with Fan Kuai. Before the incident, Liu Bang was a beggar. He often went to Fan Kuai's stall to drink wine and eat dog meat, but every time he ate and drank, he didn't pay a penny.

As time passed, Fan Kuai inevitably felt heartache in order to avoid Liu Bang.

He cooked the dog meat, and at the fourth watch he took a boat across the river to sell it in Xia Town on the other side.

Liu Bang chased him to the river, but he had no money to cross the river.

When he was worried, a turtle happened to swim from the river. The turtle was quite understanding and sent Liu Bang across the river.

Liu Bang found Fan Kuai's dog meat stall and saw that no one was interested in the dog meat. After chatting with Fan Kuai for a few words, he couldn't wait to eat the dog meat.

Fan Kuai moved to Hedong for three days. Because it was a new stall, dog meat could not be sold. When Liu Bang ate it, everyone rushed to buy it.

The dog meat accumulated for three days was quickly sold out.

Later, Liu Bang often rode a turtle across the river to eat Fan Kuai's dog meat.

Fan Kuai saw that he could not hide from Liu Bang and hated the old turtle to death, so he secretly killed it and cooked it with dog meat to satisfy his hatred.

Unexpectedly, after cooking together, the taste of dog meat is unusual. It emits a strange fragrance and is especially delicious.

Fan Kuai then used the pot of turtle juice to cook dog meat, and the aroma was not reduced.

Soon after Liu Bang became an official, he confiscated Fan Kuai's meat cleaver on the pretext that Fan Kuai had a bad temper.

Without a knife, Fan Kuai had no choice but to burn the dog meat even worse, then tear it apart with his hands and sell it to diners.

Who would have thought that this crispy dog ??meat would be even more flavorful when you tear it apart and eat it.

A few years later, Liu Bang became emperor. When he returned to his hometown in rich clothes, he remembered the dog meat in his hometown, so he drank it with dog meat.

From then on, "dog meat with turtle juice" became famous all over the world and has been passed down to this day.

Legends cannot be believed, but it is a fact that Peixian County’s dog meat with turtle juice has been famous since ancient times.

The main ingredients for making dog meat with turtle juice are passed down from generation to generation: pure yellow dog from Peixian County, ancestral turtle juice, and wild turtle from Weishan Lake. In addition to these three main raw materials, male clove, grass fruit, and amomum villosum are also used.

More than 20 kinds of precious condiments also played a big role.

Put the dog meat into the pot and simmer it over slow fire, then remove the soup and add color, and you have the fragrant dog meat on the table today.

The key to the delicious taste of Peixian dog meat is not only the ingredients used, but also the stewing of the soup. It is said that the longer the soup is simmered, the more fragrant the cooked dog meat will be.

The dog meat is crispy and juicy, the soft-shell turtle is tender and delicious, and everything is done just right.

As a "cultural heritage" with a long history, the packaging of dog meat with turtle juice is also of great historical significance. Four irregular large characters "dog meat with turtle juice" are printed on the red packaging bag, and underneath is an ancient Han Dynasty stone portrait.

, depicting a scene like this: After the peasant uprising in the late Qin Dynasty, Liu Bang became emperor. When he returned to his hometown in rich clothes, he thought of the dog meat in his hometown, so he summoned his fellow villagers and drank with large pieces of dog meat.

When the wine was full of wine and his ears were warm, the smug Liu Bang took the opportunity to dance and sang "The Song of the Great Wind".

In addition to being delicious, dog meat is also a good medicine for curing diseases. If a child with chickenpox eats dog meat, his condition will definitely improve.

Because chickenpox is hot and dog meat is cold, "water and fire are incompatible", which will improve the condition.

As the saying goes, "dog meat cannot be sold on the market." However, Xuzhou's dog meat with turtle sauce breaks this traditional saying, and is a feast for those who cannot taste this dish for the sake of dignity.

If compared with many Xuzhou specialties, Peixian dog meat with turtle juice does not seem to be so "outstanding", but it still has the charm of "when the mountain flowers bloom, she laughs in the bushes".

This seems to be the real "charm" of Peixian dog meat in turtle sauce - not very outstanding, but very unique.

An 800-word essay on Xuzhou in my eyes. Xuzhou has outstanding people and beautiful people since ancient times. It is the hometown of Liu Bang, the founder of the Han Dynasty. It is known as "the enclave of dragons through the ages and the hometown of emperors." This Saturday, my grandfather and I boarded the train to Xuzhou and went to Xuzhou.

A useful trip began.

The first thing we came to was the famous Guishan Han Tomb.

As soon as they entered the passage, a red light shot out, and everyone was startled.

After listening to the tour guide's explanation carefully, it turns out that this is a laser that tests the straightness of the channel.

When I walked into the hall, there was a very thick Optimus Prime in the middle. I walked closer to the pillar and looked at it carefully. I found that there were some bulging bags on the pillar and on the wall. I was so confused that I quickly ran to the tour guide.

, the aunt said: "This was the emperor's song and dance hall in the past. People in the past didn't know much about the stars in the sky, so every small bag here represents a person." "Oh!" I suddenly realized.

Immediately afterwards, we ran towards the inside of the tomb.

I saw a huge coffin placed in the center of the tomb, with exquisite carvings on it. I stepped forward, stared at it and admired it. I was really impressed by the exquisite skills of the ancient working people.
