He remembered the dishes in his hometown, Qingqi mutton, so he ordered his men to kill the sheep and burn the fire. Just as the husband slaughtered the sheep and cut the meat, the detective horse rushed into the account to report that the enemy was approaching. Hungry and unbearable Kublai waited for the lamb, he ordered the army to open and shouted: "mutton! lamb! " The chef so anxious, flying knife cut more than ten thin pieces of meat, put in boiling water to stir a few times, waiting for the meat color to change, immediately fished into the bowl, sprinkled fine salt. Kublai even ate a few bowls of over the body and the horse led the army to meet the enemy, and the flag was winning. When preparing for the celebration banquet, Kublai specially ordered the lamb slices. The chef chose the tender sheep meat, cut into thin slices, and then served with various seasonings. After eating, the handsome guys were full of praise. The chef hurried to meet up and said: "This dish is not yet named, please give the handsome master name." Kublie smiled and replied: "I think it will be called "steak lamb"! "Since then"steak mutton" has become a court cuisine.
