Among the methods of creating Chinese characters, pictographic and ideographic are the two most important. Both "fish" and "sheep" are typical pictographic characters, and putting fish and sheep together undoubtedly implies one word - "fresh"! Truly the seven orifices, heart, and nine curved intestines of our ancestors - clever! It's strange to say that fish has a "fishy smell" and lamb has a "gamey smell". Both ingredients make their own soup, which many people don't like. For example, I don't drink fish soup or lamb soup. But as long as the fish and sheep are stewed together, the fish meat will no longer be fishy and the lamb meat will no longer be gamey, leaving only "fresh". Cooking lamb and crucian carp together in soup is a Jiangsu flavor, with a unique preparation method that is neither fishy nor gamey, making it a great dish in the soup. This soup has a delicious taste, nourishes qi and blood, replenishes deficiency and tuberculosis, and is most suitable for consumption in winter.
