However, in the impression of Yangzhou people, snowflake white geese are mostly delicious dishes on the table.
Once when I came home, my mother took me to the street to buy cooked food.
My mother asked me what I wanted to eat. Actually, I didn't care. I eat everything, and I am not picky about food since I was a child. She knows that. Mother likes to eat chicken offal and goose offal. I say we buy some salted goose liver at noon. Mom said I know a good cooked food stall. I'll take you there. I laughed to myself and was glad to see my mother in high spirits. There are several cooked food stalls near Sanyanghe Bridge in Dinggou Town. There is a couple. The husband set up a stall by Sanyanghe Bridge, and the wife set up a stall by the roadside opposite the town government. My mother took me across from the town government. My mother said that the food she cooked was very sanitary and clean, and you would know it when you saw it.
I looked at it and it was really clean. In this hot summer, the stall owner parked his car in the shade, and the chopping board, knife, seasoning jar and cooked vegetables in the small glass window looked good, and then there were no flies and insects around. The boss is also very polite. He was busy cooking for us, and he didn't forget to say a few words of courtesy to the guests who came to buy food with us. Obviously, all the people who come to buy food are regular customers.
Back in the kitchen, my mother took the dishes down for me to see. Then, like a child who collects debts, she asked me, "Look, her salted goose soup is clear in color and comfortable to eat, with no extra impurities."
Well, yes, it was handled well. Goose gizzards and goose feet are refreshing, salty and rich, and there is no smell of goose.
It was sunny that day, and I strolled around the street in our town in the afternoon. I found that Yangzhou Old Goose Restaurant, Roasted Goose Restaurant and Goose Soup Restaurant were also opened in the town ... People in the land of fish and rice probably like to deal with related aquatic poultry, and there are deli stalls and deli shops selling salted geese everywhere in Yangzhou.
People in Yangzhou love to eat geese, and they have unique research on the methods of geese, especially roasting whole geese and salted geese.
When I was in high school, there was a small red Little Red Riding Hood Goose Restaurant (now renamed by the boss). At that time, this goose restaurant was the first one in town. Goose meat, goose liver, goose blood, goose intestines and goose gizzards are cooked in one pot, and soy sauce is delicious and colorful, and various spices such as cinnamon, geranium, pepper and star anise are added to improve the taste. Roasting whole goose is a big dish for us.
On both sides of Sanyanghe Bridge, there are two mobile stalls for Sichuan spicy goose cooked vegetables, which are opened by a pair of foreign brothers and sisters. My sister is at the east end of the bridge and my brother is at the west end of the bridge. My sister has been selling cooked food by the bridge for more than 20 years. Her cooking has always been very popular. My brother is a rising star and his business is not as good as my sister's.
Sichuan hot goose may be adapted to local conditions and improved according to local tastes. I remember when I was in kindergarten, the spicy goose that my father and grandfather bought from this sister was not ordinary spicy. Take care of her every time, put less Chili, or put Chili oil in a small bag for us. As long as you don't say hello to her in advance, she will definitely give you a few spoonfuls of homemade Chili oil in the chopped goose, which is red and appetizing, but the locals can't get used to Sichuan-style spicy food.
Now the spicy goose cooked by brothers and sisters is not so spicy. We probably know the tastes of local people, or maybe we local people have adapted to their tastes, which is not certain. Dad said that he has been to so many places all over the country and many cities famous for their food, such as Sichuan, Chongqing, Yunnan, Guangdong, Fujian, Zhejiang, Beijing, Shanghai and Northwest China ... Dad said that he has been to so many places and eaten a lot of dishes about geese, but he still thinks that the spicy geese and salted geese in the town are the best.
Probably, what we eat is a feeling, hmm.
