The dog meat in Luyi County is one of the famous snacks in eastern Henan, its color is bright red, the hand twist is like silk, the taste is delicious, and the aftertaste is endless. Speaking of its origin, there is another story.
According to legend, in the Later Han Dynasty, Wang Mang chased Liu Xiu to Luyi. On this day, Liu Xiu ran so sleepy that he ran to langzhuang dongdi, three miles south of the test set, and really couldn't run. Wang Mang chased after the WenXian Dog with him, and he was about to catch up. Liu Xiu looked around, only to see that most of the slopes were full of white stubble, and although there were crop seedlings in some fields, they were only four fingers high, hiding nowhere to hide, hiding nowhere to hide, and sweating on their heads in a hurry. Suddenly, he saw a small temple not far in front of him, and he hurried to the temple and jumped off his horse and looked into the temple, but he saw that the temple was so small that it was empty and could not hide anyone at all. Liu Xiu sighed, "Alas! It looks like I'm going to die here today. ”
At this moment, I overheard the sound of a "pop" of a whip, only to see that not far away, there was an old man, tong Yan crane hair, holding an iron whip, driving a big green cow to plow the ground. Liu Xiu led the horse and hurried to the old man and asked him to hide himself. The old man looked at the dust and smoke in the distance, and did not say much, but he straightened the plough, and according to the green cow was a whip, and the plough passed, and it appeared. A ditch that is more than one person deep. The old man told Liu Xiu to lead the horse to jump down, and another plough next to the ditch covered the deep ditch. As soon as the old man hid Liu Xiu, Wang Mang's Wenxian dog arrived. It sniffed around it, and then tried to pick up the soil according to the place where Liu Xiu was buried. The old man's eyes narrowed, and his throwing hand was a whip, which was hitting the door of the WenXian Dog's head, and he immediately cried out for his life. The old man took off his coat and just covered the Wenxian dog, Wang Mang led the people and horses to arrive, he first saw that there was no one in the small temple, and then he went straight to the old man and asked, "Hey, old man!" See a big man on horseback and a dog running past? The old man did not reply to his words, and pointed his hand to the south. Wang Mang thought that Liu Xiu had run south, so he chased after him again.
Wang Mang's men and horses ran away, and the old man turned Liu Xiu and the horse out. Liu Xiu said many words of thanks to the old man, and the old man urged him to hurry up. Liu Xiu was so hungry that he was exhausted, and where he could still move, he was dizzy and fell to the ground. When the old man saw it, he stepped forward to help him up and asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”
"I'm hungry." Liu Xiu said weakly.
The old man thought about it for a moment, so he went to find a pot, propped it in the temple, peeled the Wenxian dog and put it in the pot, and in a few moments, he cooked a pot of fragrant dog meat. This dog meat was rotten and fragrant, and Liu Xiu devoured it and ate it straight to the stomach. Liu Xiu ate the dog meat, had the spirit, smeared his mouth full of dog oil, gave a deep salute to the old man, and said: "The old man's life-saving grace, I will never forget it, and I will definitely repay it in the next day!" Liu Xiu was about to resign, when the old man pointed his finger at the remaining dog meat and said, "You take the set and sell it for a few dollars, it is good to make a mess on the road." ”
The old man said, turning and walking out of the small temple. Liu Xiu was already penniless and had to do as the old man told him. He fished out the dog meat in the pot and walked out of the temple door, and the old man and the big green cow were gone.
Liu Xiu carried the dog meat to the test set, the smell of dog meat flushed the nose, attracted many people, and after a while, people bought the dog meat. There were a few big men who had never eaten an addiction, and they begged Liu Xiu to buy it. Liu Xiu was so entangled that he had no choice but to say, "I really don't have any dog meat, only half a pot of soup is left in the small temple in the three miles south." If you want to drink, go and serve it. With that, he rode away from the test.
Those few mouthed men really went to that small temple, and as soon as they smelled the dog broth, they felt that the aroma was abnormal, so they carried half a pot of oily broth home, beat a dog and boiled it with that broth, and the cooked dog meat was as fragrant as the dog meat sold by Liu Xiu. People used the soup again and again, and they were reluctant to pour it.
Later, Liu Xiu became emperor, and he ate all the tastes of mountains and treasures and seafood, and felt that there was no appetite for the same. One day, he suddenly remembered the amount of dog meat he had tried, so he sent someone to the palace. As soon as I ate it, the taste was really delicious, and I praised it while eating, and I also casually made up a smooth sentence: "The world is delicious and lonely enough to eat, and it is not enough to try the amount of good dog meat." ”
In this way, the test of dog meat is famous. Until now, the amount of dog meat tested is particularly delicious.
