According to legend, there was a farmer in Huizhou Capital in the Qing Dynasty who took four sheep across the Lianjiang River by ferry, and because the cabin was small and crowded, he accidentally squeezed an adult ram into the river, the sheep could not swim, and struggled in the river for a while before sinking into the deep water. Because of the sinking of the sheep, many fish were attracted, and when the sheep sank to the bottom of the water, the fish flocked to the water, and you competed for food. Because they eat too much, one by one is dizzy. Coincidentally, a fisherman nearby was driving a small fishing boat past here, and when he saw so many fish scurrying on the surface of the water, he was so surprised that he couldn't help but withdraw a net. What made him strange was that the fish did not jump around as usual, but stayed in the net one by one, and when the fisherman put the net ashore and took it home, he felt that today's fish was particularly heavy, so he cut the belly of a fish with a knife and saw that it was full. The fishermen are novelty. Wash the fish, seal the knife edge, and cook it together with the broken head in the abdomen. As a result, the fish that was burned out was crispy and rotten, not fishy, not fishy, and the soup was delicious and had a special flavor. When the news broke, some local gourmets also tried to cook such a dish, and sure enough, the flavor was extraordinary, and since then, the locals have named the dish "fish bites the sheep". Over time, it became a famous dish in Hui cuisine. Article for reference only Please consult a healthcare practitioner for actual situations
