Eat more of this meat after the heavy snow, it will ward off the cold and nourish you, and you will be able to hunt tigers in the beginning of spring. 30 yuan per kilogram is nutritious pork.

"Take nourishment in winter, and hunt tigers in spring", this folk proverb This fully illustrates the tonic effect of mutton in winter. Chinese people like to supplement mutton after heavy snowfall. Mutton is more tender than beef and has less fat content than pork. It can also nourish and dispel cold, replenish qi, promote blood circulation, and enhance the ability to withstand the cold. Mutton can also increase digestive enzymes and help digestion. In winter, mutton is eaten as a tonic and mixed with yam, wolfberry, etc. to make it more nutritious. Proverbs are proverbs, tigers are now a national first-level protected animal, and you can't just hit them if you want!

In the north, in addition to the traditional mutton soup, braised mutton, and mutton-shabu-shabu, the most popular one is braised "sheep scorpion". Sheep scorpion is not a scorpion, but the backbone of a sheep. It is named because there is a small hook on the tail, which looks like a scorpion.

This picture shows the tail bone of a sheep. It is fat and tender. Doesn’t it look like a scorpion? The white on top is fat, and there is a small amount of lean meat on the other side. The tail bone is smooth and tender, with a melt-in-the-mouth feeling.

The big market near my home has a lot of beef and mutton, all of which come from Dachang Hui Autonomous County in Hebei Province, so the price is not too expensive. There are two types of sheep and scorpions, one is smooth on one side and has meat on the other, which costs 28 yuan per catty; the other is meat on both sides, which costs 30 yuan per catty. A whole stick was too much for four people, but half a stick was just right. I bought the second half with the tail for just 100 yuan. It sounds a bit expensive, but compared with the restaurant's, this pot doesn't cost 198 yuan, so don't plan on buying it. So it’s the most cost-effective to do it yourself!

I wonder if you have ever eaten mutton on the grassland? The sheep on the grassland are free-range, and the grass they eat contains some green onions and the like, which can make the mutton smell-free. However, the mutton in the plains of the mainland has a strong smell of mutton. People who love mutton love this smell the most. This can be regarded as the label of mutton! Some people can't stand the taste and lose the chance to enjoy it. If you want the lamb and scorpion not to be fishy or smelly, it would be a mistake to put it in the pot directly. The extra step will make the meat rotten and the soup will be fresh, and the bones will be chewed up. What extra step is there? Please read below.
