During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, wars continued and the people were displaced. There was a man named Mao Xiuzhi who was captured by Emperor Wu of Song. But this person is more skilled in cooking and can make water basin lamb. So he made a bowl of water basin mutton and offered it to Emperor Wu of Song. Emperor Wu of Song was overjoyed after tasting it, and not only did not kill him, but also rewarded him with a petty official to do it.
As a result, since then, Mao Xiuzhi has relied on this bowl of mutton soup to open all the way and become a small county official to become a South County Gong. It can be seen that the charm of water basin lamb can not only satisfy people's stomachs, but also save lives and change their destiny at critical times.
Water basin lamb is not a large pot of lamb, to be precise, it should be called mutton soup. The soup is as clear as water, and the bowl is as big as a basin. This is where the name Water Basin Lamb comes from. Shaanxi is located in the buffer zone between the Central Plains and the Hu people, so it is said that the people in many parts of Shaanxi should have the characteristics of the Hu people in ancient times. This is also the reason why There are more "halal" restaurants in Shaanxi and more beef and mutton. In many places in Shaanxi, it is the integration of Hui and Han.
Water basin lamb also has a name called "June Fresh". This is because in the past, productivity was low and material shortages were relatively scarce. It is not easy for people to eat lamb, and they can't even eat it several times a year. Eating lamb is a big deal. And mutton is a supplement, so it is generally eaten in autumn and winter. However, many restaurants that sell lamb also want to sell more lamb, so they came up with the idea of selling mutton soup in the summer and lamb in the winter. Therefore, the water basin lamb is generally sold in June, and when it is sold in October, it stops selling and starts selling lamb. And the sheep in June, basically fat and thin, are the most delicious time. Therefore, the water basin lamb is also called "June fresh". Now, it should be called "fresh all year round".

Generally eat water basin lamb, but also with crescent cake, this is a set. To eat water basin lamb, it is best to follow the "three-step eating method".
The first step is to drink a mouthful of soup, this soup is as clear as water, but the taste is complete, and it is very thick, drink a few mouthfuls of soup, smooth. After a few sips of soup, you can feel the belonging of this basin of lamb. Here we will talk about the two major factions of water basin mutton- the Pucheng system and the Chengcheng system. If the pepper flavor is more prominent, it should belong to the Pucheng system; if the cumin flavor is more prominent, it should be the Chengcheng system. The water basin lamb itself is not very heavy seasoning, basically a few spices, such as pepper, pepper, cumin, galangal, star anise and so on. Too much flavor will obscure the fresh soup flavor of lamb, but it is not delicious.
The second step is to fish out the lamb in the basin and eat it. Old eaters who often eat water basin lamb should know that the lamb in a good water basin is not cut out but torn out. This is because fresh lamb is better than cutting it with a knife, and lamb does not have to be contaminated with "iron fishy", which can best maintain the original taste of lamb. The lamb that comes out of this is incomparably tender and fragrant. Here I also want to say a little, why don't you fish for mutton and eat it? This is because there are no fans here at all! In the authentic water basin lamb, there should be no fans. Cut the crescent bun in the "set" from the middle, and sandwich the lamb into some, preferably to get some fat. If you bite down hard, this taste is the taste of Lao Shaan. In Shaanxi, steamed buns can sandwich everything.
In the third step, break open the steamed bun and soak it. In Shaanxi, steamed buns can not only sandwich everything, but also all foods with soup can also be steamed. Because this bun is not a half-dead noodle, it is not resistant to bubbles, eat as much as you want, and soak as much as you want. Add spicy seeds to the soup, stir and boil, then soak again, the taste is better.

No matter how you eat it, there is always an important match, garlic! Eat everything to order garlic, a bite of garlic, a bite of steamed bread, a mouthful of soup, this taste is enough. After drinking the water basin mutton soup, you can also continue the soup, eat enough, and then continue to add some soup, when to eat and when to finish.
Lao Shaan is so real, give it a thumbs up!
