Fan Kuai cooks dog meat to a certain temperature every night, then stews it in a pot and sells it in the market the next morning. Liu bang was an alcoholic in his early years. He likes eating dog meat while drinking, but he is short of money. He often goes to the hotel to buy a bowl of wine from the shopkeeper first, and then goes to the meat stall in Fan Kuai to ask for some dog meat to drink. Customers followed, and Fan Kuai's dog meat was soon sold out.
Liu bang comes to eat dog meat every day and never pays a penny. Over time, Fan Kuai felt unhappy, but they were good friends, and it was hard to say anything to hurt them. Fan Kuai had planned to cook the dog meat in advance, fished it out in Sigeng, took the burden, crossed Surabaya by boat, and sold it in xia yang, Hedong (now Xiazhen, Weishan County, Shandong Province).
Liu Bang came to the city and looked everywhere, but there was no sign of Fan Kuai. Ask carefully, just know Fan Kuai's whereabouts, and hurried to recover. When I arrived at the Surabaya River, I didn't see Fan Kuai, but I saw that the river was wide, deep and urgent, and there was no boat crossing the river for a while. Liu bang was so anxious that he rubbed his feet by the river and twisted his hands in all directions. Suddenly, he saw an old bird bigger than a dustpan swimming to the shore. Liu Bang was very surprised and shouted, "Old bird, can you carry me across the river?" The old catfish nodded, jumped up and landed. Liu bang began to jump on the catfish's back and cross the river safely.
Liu Bang came to xia yang Town and saw Fan Kuai selling dog meat sweating. When he approached the stall, he saw that the dog meat was still intact. Liu bang grabbed dog meat and ate it. Suddenly, customers swarmed in. You let me buy it, and soon the dog meat will be sold out. Fan Kuai was very surprised.
Later, Fan Kuai learned that Liu Bang was carried across the river by an old catfish every day, and thought, if the old catfish was caught and killed with nails, wouldn't it be worth several big dogs? He had a definite idea, so he carried Liu Bang on his back and took the dog lasso to the Surabaya River, shouting, "Old cats, Liu Bang asked you to carry him across the river." When the old catfish swam to the shore, Fan Wei grabbed the dog rope tightly around the old catfish's neck, pulled it ashore and dragged it home. Fan Kuai killed the old salamander and cooked it in a pot with dog meat. Unexpectedly, the boiled dog meat is delicious, fresh and beautiful. Since then, Fan Wei has cooked dog meat with Yun Zhi soup, which is delicious and unusual, so Yun Zhi dog meat in Fan Wei is famous all over the city. Liu Bang knew that Fan Kuai had killed the old man and thought that he was not a friend. After he became the curator of Surabaya Pavilion, he confiscated Fan Kuai's butcher knife under the pretext. Fan Kuai didn't have a knife to sell meat, so he had to tear dog meat by hand. Oddly enough, hand-torn dog meat has a different flavor. In BC 195, Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang put down the rebellion of Ying Bu, king of Huainan, passed through his hometown Pei County, hosted a banquet for the villagers, drank wine with dog meat, and wrote "Song of the Great Wind": "The wind blows and clouds fly, Wei Jiahai returns to his hometown, and Andrew's hero is guarding all directions today!" Pei county dog meat is famous all over the world for its song of strong wind. Therefore, until now, Pei County dog meat still adopts the practice of cook the meat, and it is an old habit to tear the original soup and sell the meat by hand without a knife. This is why Pei County dog meat is called dog meat and dog meat with zhi sauce.
