Matou Town is located southwest of Xiayi and southeast of Shangqiu. When Zhao was called emperor, Shangqiu was called Nanjing. He could not sit steadily in Nanjing (Shangqiu), because he was close to Kaifeng in Tokyo, and was often threatened by jin invasions, so he moved south to Lin'an. He took his men and horses out of Nanjing (Shangqiu) City and ran southeast, for fear of being discovered by Jin Bing, he did not dare to slow down on the road, until Matou Town was relieved.
Matou is a large market town, and Zhao Zhao and the others entered a large shop and ordered the shopkeeper to feed the horses first. They washed their hands and faces and sat down and asked, "What's in this shop?" The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Delicious, you are satisfied." Then he served the hot dog meat that had just come out of the pot, and the room was suddenly full of meat aroma. Zhao Zhao and the others grabbed the hot dog meat, blew hot air, and ate it with a big mouth. After a bunch of dog meat was eaten, the shopkeeper brought a pot of sour and spicy dog meat soup to soak the steamed buns, and several people put on a bowl and ate it happily, and ate it with a round stomach. Afterwards, the shopkeeper understood that several of the guests who ate dog meat and drank broth were King Kang Zhao and his entourage. Since then, horsehead dog meat has become famous and often attracts diners from all over the world. Foreigners who come to the horse's head always taste the dog meat of the horse's head first, otherwise they feel a little unsatisfactory, because there is a saying here that "don't forget to eat dog meat when you go to the horse's head, and don't eat dog meat is not counted as the horse's head".
