Allusion: Among salted ducks, the most famous one is osmanthus duck. Sixty-two in A Dream of Red Mansions, Baoyu was born. When ordering wine, Xiangyun ate wine and sipped a piece of duck. Suddenly, she saw half a duck head in the bowl, so she picked it out and ate its brains. Everyone advised him to "don't just eat, it's almost time to talk." Xiangyun held it up with a hairpin and said, This duck head is not that wench, but the one on her head is begging for osmanthus oil. At that time, I smiled and thought Xiangyun must have never eaten authentic osmanthus duck in Nanjing. It is the fragrance of osmanthus fragrans. According to the "White Door Secret Recipe", "In August in Jinling, salted duck is the most famous. Everyone thinks that there is osmanthus fragrance in the meat."
