<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="01" > there is a goose song in the ★ north: when the snow is drifting, fly into the big iron pot</h1>
This is a popular goose-eating song in many parts of the north: "Goose goose goose, song to the heavens." White hair floats green water, red palms pluck clear waves. When the snow is falling, fly into the big iron pot [teeth]. The first four sentences of this song quote the Tang Dynasty poet Luo Binwang's seven-year-old "Wing Goose Poem" [praise], so that the goose bends its neck to the sky, sings with its head held high, and the elegant image of white hair and green water and red palm Qingbo jumps on the paper [laughs]. But the last two sentences have a sudden plot change, the atmosphere is reversed, from spring and summer to winter - when the snow is fluttering in winter, the goose does not go far above the clouds, but flies into the end of its life - the big iron pot [tears]! As a result, although there is no bloody description, the atmosphere is a bit poignant and sad, in fact, it is sung in the humorous form of folk songs and slang: When the snow is flying, the beautiful geese in people's vision will become delicious on the tip of people's tongues. Perhaps, this is the "phoenix nirvana [sun]" of the big goose.
Goose goose goose, song to the sky, white hair floating green water, red palm plucking clear waves.
<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="02" > ★ goose's graceful beauty, which has touched the book Saint Wang Xizhi</h1>
Geese are very sacred poultry, large, clean feathers, calm manners, quite gentlemanly. The goose is a heroic and fearless poultry, even if the vicious dog attacks, it will not be afraid of violence, stand up, stretch out its long snake-like neck, quack, flap its huge wings, open its steel claw-like mouth, and rush toward the enemy. The goose is still a good poultry loyal to its owner, and if a living person comes, it will quack to the owner in advance. Whoever dares to be an uninvited guest will still rush to you and bite you without discussion. World history records that when the Gauls invaded Rome, the Roman defenders used the goose to call the police in time - found the Gauls who were preparing to sneak attack, thus turning the tide of the war in one fell swoop. There are reports that the police of the Anjihai Squadron of the Traffic Police Brigade of Shawan County, Xinjiang, have raised 23 geese to take care of the home and nursing home to maintain stability.
Geese like to clean, fat body and neck, red palm high crown, vegetarian disgusted with meat, very much loved by the book Saint Wang Xi. Legend has it that when Wang Xizhi was serving in Zhejiang Huiji, there was a lonely old lady in the local area who raised a big goose that was good at singing, and Wang Xizhi asked the old lady to sell it to him but failed to do so. So one day he went to the old lady's house with some relatives and friends to admire the goose. Unexpectedly, the old lady heard that the great calligrapher was coming to the house as a guest, and immediately killed the big goose and prepared it to entertain Wang Xizhi. After Wang Xizhi heard about it, he was frustrated all day. For the grace and holiness of his heart have been blasphemed and killed, and the death of this goose is still because of him!

According to another legend, there was a Taoist monk in Shanyin, Zhejiang, who liked to raise geese, and when Wang Xizhi heard about it, he happily went to see it and begged the Daoist to sell the goose to him. But the Taoist priest said, If you can copy a Tao Te Ching for me, I will give you all the geese. Wang Xizhi was overjoyed and doubtful: Is it true? The Taoist priest replied with a smile: Of course. Therefore, Wang Xizhi gladly obeyed the order, wrote with a pen, waved it, and then returned home with a cage filled with goose music, and his heart was very happy because he could exchange words for big geese...
Wang Xizhi likes geese and loves geese, and raises geese and likes to write about geese. So far, there are still half a goose stele inscribed by Wang Xizhi on the mountain on the tiantai mountain in Zhejiang, the "goose pond" stele jointly written by Wang Xizhi and Wang Xianzhi's father and son in Lanting, Shaoxing, Zhejiang, and the goose stele inscribed by Wang Xizhi under the Yellow Crane Tower in Hubei...
Because of the love of the Book Saint King, the Chinese goose has added a number of invisible cultural weights from generation to generation.

<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="04" > ★ goose taste beautiful, is its life destination</h1>
In the human world, geese are eaten by humans and clothed with velvet, which has a long history. Even Ling Mao, as early as the Three Kingdoms period of the Eastern Han Dynasty, became a fan in the hands of the wisdom master Zhuge Kongming, so that the "person who shakes the goose feather fan" became the spokesman of the "staff officer" and "master"!
In the Middle Ages in the West, the goose feather was cut by the nobility as a writing pen. The little girl in Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale "The Little Girl Who Sold Matches" is about to freeze and starve to death on Christmas Eve, and in the light of the second match she draws, the "burning goose" appears. Foie gras and foie gras sauce are the favorites of Europeans and Americans...
Today, goose meat has long been a delicacy on people's tables, and its plush has become the best warm filling in cotton clothes and quilts...
Some people lament: not to mention the cruelty of foreign roasted geese roast goose, even in China today, such a beautiful bird, finally flew into the big iron pot and became a plate of Chinese food, it is really some "that", that is, the ancient perverted intellectuals "burned the piano and boiled crane" of the elegance of the martyrdom.
Delicious roast gooselets.
In fact, human beings have learned to raise wild beasts in long-term hunting and survival activities, which is a major progress of civilization. And the cultivation of wild animals as livestock and poultry is for the needs of survival, that is, when hunting is not abundant, they can be slaughtered as a supplementary food source.
In particular, the emergence of agricultural civilization has separated grain production from wild harvesting; let animals be kept free from mountain hunting. As a result, slash-and-burn cultivation and cultivation of crops developed into agriculture. Raising and herding livestock became animal husbandry.
In the long-term practice of the development of human civilization, human beings not only eat the flesh and skin of animals raised and herded, but also cultivate their skills to help human beings - let donkeys and horses carry and pull carts, let cattle pull ploughs to plough fields, let dogs watch over the house, let cats catch rats, let chickens, ducks and geese lay eggs, let songbirds become playthings... Of course, the final fate of these livestock and poultry is to become food on the human table, which is their fate. Just as all the grains produced by crops, as well as fruits, vegetables and vegetables, will eventually become the food of mankind.
Geese are poultry, so no matter how beautiful a goose is, it cannot escape its fate as a delicacy on the tip of human tongue.

<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="05" > ★ The Cantonese roast goose boy, the delicious taste of the goose is forced to the McDonald's in the West</h1>
Geese are very adaptable, probably all over the world except for Africa and Antarctica. In China, whether inside or outside the Great Wall, there are geese everywhere in the north and south of the great river. Of course, the Gobi and desert in the northwest are not the favorite places for geese to inhabit, because it is too arid, and perhaps the geese will occasionally pass by to find a temporary place to stop and rest.
Geese love rivers and lakes and wetland meadows. Especially in Jiangnan Water Town, it is a place where geese like to settle down. There are also many people who raise geese in Jiangnan, and more people like to eat geese. As the saying goes, there is a saying of "Nanjing duck Guangdong goose", which means that Nanjing people especially like to eat duck. Some people say that no duck can leave Nanjing alive. Some people statistics say that Nanjing people eat more than 30 million ducks every year, saying that Nanjing is a city where even the smell of ducks floats in the air... This is not an exaggeration. However, Guangdong people like to eat geese the most, which may be related to the development of Guangdong's water system and the vast river beach, which is suitable for goose growth. Therefore, Cantonese people also like to eat geese the most. How much do you like to eat? About 170 million geese are eaten each year, or 1/5 of the country's goose production. That's a pretty scary number.
White hair floats green water, red palms pluck clear waves. What an elegant goose.
Therefore, Guangdong is good at raising geese and eating geese, and there is a "roast goose boy". In Beijing, who doesn't know there's a roast goose boy? How many people who are lively and fashionable have not patronized "roast goose boys"?
Roasted goose boy originated in Huizhou, Guangdong, where people have loved to raise geese and eat geese since ancient times, so Huizhou is also called Goose City. The achievement of "burning goose boy" Lin Wei originated in Huizhou. Baidu said that in 1982, 18-year-old Lin Weicheng began selling geese in Huizhou. When he saw McDonald's large, yellow logo "M", he decided to follow McDonald's as an example and determined to make his "roast goose boy" into "China's McDonald's". At the age of 30, Lin Weicheng "held the goose into Beijing", with his persistence, a hit, and soon let the "roast goose boy" become a well-known Cantonese restaurant in Beijing, so that the Guangdong roast goose boy directly chased the quanjude of old Beijing! Just 15 years later, dozens of "roasted goose boys" have successively opened to nearly 20 major cities in the country from the ice city of Harbin in the north, to Haikou City in the south, to Shanghai in the east, and to Lanzhou in the west. The roast goose is mainly roasted, but also smoked, steamed, roasted, sauced, bad, eighteen martial arts proficient. It menacingly challenges the roast duck of Quanjude, which has been settled in Beijing for more than a hundred years: your duck meat in Quanjude is delicious, but I will sell a goose head for a goose boy, and the price of foie gras is even higher than the ninth.

★ In the northeast, roast goose is a big goose that can't be pressed to the northeast iron pot (kào).
</h1>
Guangdong's "roasted goose boys" can arrogantly spread all over the world within Shanhaiguan, and although they have flown into Shenyang, Changchun, and Harbin, they cannot occupy the appetite of the Kwantung people.
Northeast China, the Kanto region after the Ming and Qing dynasties, is also the growth paradise of the big goose. It was once sparsely populated, but it was densely forested, swampy, and lush with water and grass, making it very suitable for geese to grow. The large geese in the northeast are mostly large white geese, lion-headed geese and geese. These kinds of geese are large, mighty in appearance, eat grass and eat, have a fierce personality, and are very rough and fierce in the northeast, so the northeast people are good at raising geese and eating geese. And the way to eat is special.
The way northeasterners eat geese cannot escape the traditional "Manchu stew" and the "Shandong stew" of the Kwantung people.
The goose in the northeast.
Let's start with the "iron pot (kào) goose". The iron pot is a stew furniture that neither manchus nor Shandong people in Kanto can do without. Therefore, cooking the goose is even more inseparable from the large iron pot. This is the name of the "iron pot big goose" very rough and atmospheric Kanto dish. The subtlety of this cooking method lies in the word "㸆 (kào)". 㸆, originally put the fat of the animal in an iron pot without adding water and use the appropriate heat to blanch the fat into meat oil. This method of slowly simmering out the oil is called "㸆", which is the proverbial "㸆油".
The big goose is a traditional practice in The Kanto farmhouse is to chop the whole goose that has been slaughtered and washed into pieces, tighten it in boiling water for ten minutes, fish it out, put it in an iron pot of fried peppercorns and large green onions and ginger, and fry it for a few minutes, then cook the half-cooked goose meat over a slow heat, and then add water to simmer slowly. This is the "iron pot big goose", the whole process is based on "㸆". The large goose meat made in this method is compact, chewy, and original, which is very in line with the hearts of the Manchus who have large bowls of wine, large pieces of meat, and the Shandong people who broke into the Kanto Region. The flamboyant Kanto people believe that eating like this is very much the hunting style of the Manchus, and there are also some styles of Liangshan in Shandong.

<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="07" > ★ Northeast goose stew with sauerkraut has a unique Kanto flavor</h1>
Northeast people's sauerkraut is now almost popular throughout the country, and the phrase "jade flowers, sauerkraut" on the stage has almost become an advertising slogan for northeast cuisine. Therefore, in the northeast there is not only the famous "sauerkraut stew pork", but also the "big goose stew sauerkraut". The method of stewing sauerkraut with big geese is not simple. It is necessary to first use the skill of stir-frying and steaking, the goose is concocted, then the soup is added, and the sauerkraut stew is cut into thin strips after boiling water, and the key to kung fu is on this "stew" word. Twenty minutes later, when the aroma of slow-simmered sauerkraut filled the room, the "big goose stewed sauerkraut" was completed. This dish doesn't taste as fatty as pork stewed sauerkraut, but it has a rough wild flavor that "chicken stewed mushrooms" did not have! It is said to be wild because although the goose is a poultry, the meat is not as delicate as that of the chicken. Northeasterners say, "Geese are big cattle", and the taste can be as stingy as chickens! Although the shredded meat of the goose is slightly rough, the taste is not only the "poultry aroma" of chicken, the "smell" of cattle and sheep, and the mellow aroma of pork. Coupled with the blending and cultivation of Tohoku sauerkraut, it has become the unique flavor of "big goose stewed sauerkraut" unique to Kanto.
