Today, on the first day of the fall, the Fuyang Festival in my hometown has also opened. In the dog days, eating lamb has a long history in my hometown, commonly known as Fuyang, and historical legends can be traced back to the Yao and Shun period. Fuyang is the mutton that enters Futian in the hot summer. The custom of eating mutton in Futian is not only in line with the simple health concept of "the harmony between man and nature", but also contains a certain scientific basis. Lamb is sweet and non-toxic. The fat and softness of food is beneficial to people, and it can treat muscles and bones, and invigorate qi from fatigue. The effect of mutton for expelling wind and cold seems to be incompatible with the heat of the dog days. In fact, in summer, people lose their appetite and accumulate heat in the body. At this time, eating a bowl of spicy and delicious mutton will not only make people have a big appetite. It can increase appetite, and it can also promote sweating, use heat to dissipate damp toxins in the body, replenish deficiency and strengthen the body, which is very beneficial to improve people's physical fitness and disease resistance in hot weather.

Tips:
Burdock is easy to oxidize. Soak it in water as soon as possible after peeling it. Adding a little white vinegar in the water would be better. When cooking meat, it is easier to boil the blood in a pot under cold water.
