Legend has it that Kublai Khan, the ancestor of the Yuan dynasty, was suddenly hungry during a march, and he especially wanted to eat mutton soup from his hometown. So, Kublai Khan ordered the whole army to be repaired, ordered the cooks to make mutton soup, and rewarded the three armies.
The cook, skillfully slaughtering and skinning sheep, began to get busy. When the preparations were ready, the cook was about to put the cut mutton in the pot, when suddenly Kublai Khan's cavalry panted and ran in and said to the cook: "The enemy army is coming soon, ready to meet the enemy."

Kublai Khan was also very hungry at this time, and shouted in a very angry voice: "Bring the mutton soup quickly!"
The cook's legs were weak with fright, and looking at the boiling soup and the uncooked mutton, he knew that the mutton soup was not going to be ready. If you don't let the sweat eat your stomach, you will definitely be killed.
Just when he was restless, the cook suddenly concentrated his wisdom, he cut all the mutton that had not been put into the pot into thin slices, and then put it in the boiling soup, and saw that the meat changed color instantly, so he immediately scooped it up, mixed in some simple seasonings, and served it to Kublai Khan.
Kublai Khan may have been so hungry that he ate several large bowls in one go, and when he had eaten and drunk enough, Kublai Khan was full of strength, and he turned on his horse and led his army to meet the enemy, and the result was a great victory.
Kublai Khan returned victoriously, rewarded the cook heavily, and then brought this "shabu mutton" food practice into the court, and soon the "shabu mutton" delicacy was introduced to the people and was deeply loved by everyone. #有关美食的故事#
