Why is the sheep scorpion called the sheep scorpion?

Because the sheep's whole body is relatively long, and the spine is connected one by one, the two ends are thin and the middle is thick, which looks like the shape of a scorpion, so it is called a sheep scorpion.

The earliest sheep scorpions were eaten by the poor, because after all the meat on them was removed, only bones were left, so the poor bought these bones to make soup. But later, everyone found that the soup cooked with scorpions was delicious, and the meat on the bones was particularly delicious, so now scorpions have become delicious on everyone's table.

The historical origin of the sheep scorpion:

Scorpions need to be traced back to the Kangxi period. Mongolian prince Naiman once came back from hunting and passed by the backyard and smelled the fragrance. Let the servants inquire. It turned out that the new cook made sheep spines for the people. Lord Naiman tastes delicious. Then look at the shape of the spine. It looks like a scorpion. It was named "Sheep Scorpion" and was used as a family recipe, which was later spread to the people.

Sheep and scorpions are cheap and delicious food snacks. The main raw material is the most nutritious and delicious sheep keel-a complete sheep spine with tenderloin and spinal cord from neck to tip. From the cross section, the sheep keel looks like a "ya", which is the gorgeous shape of the scorpion, hence the name "the sheep scorpion".
