Sheep and scorpions can be traced back to the Kangxi period. King Naiman, the Mongolian prince, came back from hunting and passed by the backyard and smelled the fragrant aroma. After asking the servants, I found out that the new cook was stewing the lamb spine for the servants to eat. Lord Naiman tastes delicious. Then he saw that the shape of the spine resembled a scorpion, so he named it "Sheep Scorpion" and made it a family recipe. Later it spread to the people.
