Below are the origins of roasted Nang:
A long time ago, in the vast edge of the Taklimakan Desert, herders Hanlaishuwang, Lei Yue nomadic years in the Tarim River deserted the two sides. Sometimes Shaoze out a 10-day and a half months, while more than Yinianbanzai, so the road with dry rations. Often the Tarim River dried up for the pastoralists can not provide adequate drinking water, not two days, on the dry food like the desert area on the hard stone, dry and hard, biting one incisor Zhimao on Mars.
One day, the sun just like Zhao Liaohuo out, the slightest wind did not. Some cloud-like clouds, fog Siwu non-dust, low to float in the air, taking the people on every drop of sweat, the air was filled with the smell of wool were Kaojiao.

Vomit Zhajin Erhong a water tank, a porphyrin cold out, the head of the water immediately turned into steam. He suddenly found his wife on a piece of dough Penli, regardless of all the captured over, like wearing the same Yanyanshishi Zhanmao deduction in the head. Dough Liang Sisi, a very uncomfortable. At this time, he thought of throwing in the crowd outside.
The sun is still burning, cracking follow Erhong spit of land on the emergence of dust toward the crowd going. Walked walked, he smelled the scent of the shares infants. He left to see right Look, I do not know its contingent. He Xiaopao all the way, the smell Erque never was.

Taste the flavor infants herdsmen brothers that context, are all to follow. So delicious things there is a new process have to name it » In order to distinguish between various Binglei, vomit Dahuofang Erhong convened to put together and draw on collective wisdom.
