The Origin of Gu Jing Roasted Goose Cuisine;
More than 700 years ago, a naval battle of Song and Yuan Dynasties unified China in Yamen, Xinhui. After the war, a royal teacher in charge of making roast goose in the Southern Song Dynasty palace fled to Xiandong Village on the west bank of Yinzhou Lake with her daughter.
Yu Zhu opened a roast goose shop in Xiandong village. With the superb skills of the palace secret roast goose, the goose was cooked with good color and flavor, and soon became famous for dozens of miles, and the business was particularly good. Later, Yushi's daughter grew up and married the ancient well on the east bank of Yinzhou Lake. Her daughter also brought her father's secret roast goose to Gujing. The roast goose in Gu Jing started from this and has been passed down to this day.
Compared with the roasted goose in Guangzhou, the roasted goose in Gu Jing has a thin skin, a little golden color in the coke, a thin and crisp skin and a faint smell of litchi wood. As far as taste is concerned, "sweetness" and "fragrance" are the characteristics of Gu Jing roast goose. Sweetness comes from honey and the unique gravy of Gu Jing Roasted Goose.
In addition, it is the fragrance. On the one hand, the aroma of roast goose in Gu Jing benefits from the baking of litchi wood and closed mud stove, and on the other hand, it is the result of using the special product of Xinhui-Chenpi as the marinade. The final roasted goose product is tender, smooth and refreshing, fresh and juicy, with the characteristics of fragrant teeth and cheeks.
