Just as the cook was slaughtering sheep and cutting meat, the reconnaissance Ma Chong reported that the enemy was approaching.

Hungry, Kublai Khan wanted mutton very much. He ordered his troops to March and shouted, "Mutton! Mutton! " . The cook knew that he had a bad temper, so he used his quick wits. He cut off more than ten thin pieces of meat with a flying knife and stirred them in boiling water several times. When the color of the meat changed, he immediately fished it out and put it in a bowl, sprinkled with fine salt and made instant-boiled mutton.
