It is reported that now Yuehe Hecheng Lu draft recommended roasted sauce duck,
It is the sauce duck roasting recipe recommended by the old Lu Manuscript under the guidance of Master Huang,
Jinshan Yinshan is not as good as the old intangible assets of Lu Wenjian Sauce Duck Shop.
Among the long-established famous stores in Jiaxing's catering industry, the reputation of Lu Wenjian sauce duck shop is a household name. The literati's Jiaxing Lu manuscript recommended sauce duck shop is even more historical and legendary.
Founded in the 24th year of the Republic of China (1935), Lu Wenjian Sauce Duck Shop specializes in brine-flavored cooked food, which is a Soviet-style flavor. Fist products are sauce duck, the selection of fresh ingredients, brownish red, oil shiny, mellow, thick meat, salty and sweet and delicious.
Lu Wenjian Sauce Duck Shop was originally located on the east side of the North Gate of Beiliqiao in the city, facing the Grand Canal on the southeast side, Beijing Road in the west and Beijing Road Shop in the north. At that time, the boss, as an outsider, chose the location of the store in Jiaxing, and it is said that he also invited Mr. Feng Shui to turn around here for a day.
Jiaxing Lu manuscript recommended sauce duck shop, it has been recorded in provincial and municipal local historical materials and commercial historical materials, and there are many oral legends circulating in Jiaxing folk. One of the stories with mythological overtones says: Very early on, Lü Dongbin came to Jiaxing, he saw the farmers here, every household raised a strong and strong duck, Lü Dongbin soaked in medicinal herbs to soak the soup to cook the sauce duck, the taste is particularly good.
This recipe has been circulating in the countryside of this area since then, so the sauce duck cooked by the people of Fan Jiaxing tastes very delicious.
According to legend, the owner of Lu Wenjian Sauce Duck Shop later also got this ancient recipe for roasting sauce duck, and over the years burned the old soup of the sauce duck in the cauldron more and more fragrant. Of course, these stories are full of affirmation and praise for the success of Jiaxing Lu's entrepreneurship, and are also a golden signboard in Jiaxing's beverage and catering industry.
On November 2, 2008, Jiaxing has a "Hecheng Lu Manuscript Recommendation", the site was opened in Yuehe Block, because the owner of the "Hecheng Lu Manuscript Recommendation" shop owner Cheng Mingrong has done a lot of work in excavating the old culture of The Lu Manuscript Recommendation, especially in the process of sauce duck firing, trying to restore the traditional taste of the Lu Manuscript Recommendation, people feel that it is a new mile of the old store.
So, how did the real-life Jiaxing time-honored Lu Manuscript Recommendation start? Opening the dust of history, its rise and fall is really difficult to say. Jiaxing Lu Wen recommended the entrepreneurial boss, surnamed Huang, named Fusheng. During the Republic of China period, he came from Wuxi, Jiangsu Province to Jiaxing to make a living, and because of the strangeness of the land, he first set up a cooked food stall in the north of the city. The couple was usually diligent and frugal, and after many years they had accumulated funds.
In 1935, Huang Fusheng opened a shop on Beijing Road on the east side of beiliqiao north wall called Lu Wenjian's Su-style brine-style cooked food. At that time, Wuxi and Suzhou had food stores named after Lu Wenjian, but they mainly operated cake dumplings. In order not to forget his hometown, Huang Fusheng's boss used the name of the shop recommended by Lu Feng.
In the early 1980s, during the second national census of cultural relics, I interviewed Master Dai and other employees in Lu Wenjian's shop, and they said: "Huang Fusheng's boss is kind to people, he does not smoke and drink, but he is very generous in business. The duck farmer who drives live ducks from the river to the store can pay more as long as he meets the standard, and sometimes invite the delivery man to eat. On the contrary, no matter how low the price, he will return all the live ducks.
Boss Huang often said that from live duck to sauce duck, this is the first pass of Lu Wen's recommendation, from purchase to firing, the Dao Dao pass must be firmly enforced, so that the golden sign of Jiaxing Lu Wen's recommendation will not fade. Huang Fusheng is proficient in business, hard-working and rich, and there are properties in the Area of WaiyueHe and Tanlong that he has purchased.
When beiliqiao was built in the 1970s, more than a dozen pieces of gold buried deeply by him were found under the walls of Lu Wenjian's store, and on the question of whether to return it to him, Jiaxing society caused a great shock at that time. However, there is a reason that everyone in the industry knows, that is, Jinshan Yinshan is not as good as the old intangible assets of Lu Wenjian Sauce Duck Shop.
In the late 20th century, Huang Fusheng and his wife who were close to him passed away. Huang Fusheng's life, from stalls
To open a store, and then to be known as a long-established famous store, he has left a deep footprint in the history of Jiaxing's commercial development, which is well known in the local area. Huang Fusheng has a son, named Shi Long, who is estimated to be nearly seventy years old. In the mid-1990s, due to the restructuring of Jiaxing Beverage service Company and the transformation of Beijing Road, Jiaxing Lu Chuangzhan stopped business, but in the past few years, Huang Shilong sometimes still cooked sauce ducks, and set up individual stalls in the area of Zhayan Road in the city.
I heard that many customers are repeat customers at his stall, and the sauce duck he cooks tastes very right and delicious. Some people say that the ancestral recipe of Lu Wenjian Sauce Duck Shop has been passed down to Huang Shilong.
