When it comes to China, it must be Chaoshan, Guangdong Province, which likes braised dishes best and eats cooked food best. Chaoshan people's pot-stewed food was a must, and they only bought it early, and there was basically no surplus. Therefore, Chaoshan pot-stewed food was not profitable, which attracted thousands of diners to go to Chaoshan one after another, just seeking to taste a first-class pot-stewed food. However, among the many braised dishes in Chaoshan, one kind of domineering food is not available in other places, and that is braised goose head.
In Chaoshan, the most expensive braised goose head is as expensive as 2600 yuan. This braised goose head originated from Chenghai, Shantou, Guangdong Province. Compared with mainlanders, it is really expensive, but in the eyes of Chaoshan people, it is scary. It is not novel that goose heads sell at a high price, because we get along with geese heads with thousands of dollars on weekdays. In that case, why can a braised goose head in Chaoshan be sold at such a high price?
Goose's precious body is not only French foie gras, but also goose head. The lion-headed goose in Chaoshan, Guangdong Province, is one of the top ingredients in China, and it has a good reputation even for everyone. Only in Chaoshan area can you see a very big white goose, which is much bigger than ordinary geese, especially this big head, which is very rare. This is the "global goose king" lion-headed goose.
The origin of the name of the lion-headed goose is related to its big head. The lion-headed goose has a large goose crown on its forehead and a significantly lower jaw than the average goose. From the beginning to the front, from the goose crown to the goose jaw, it shows the shape of a beast, so it is called "lion-headed goose". In the goose crown of the lion-headed goose, there is the "goose glue" that Chaoshan gourmets are most proud of.
Not all lion-headed geese can be sold at high prices. In order to win the praise of local gourmets in Chaoshan, the first lion-headed goose must be over 2 years old, too old when it is old, and not round enough when it is young. Moreover, the body of the goose is above 20 kg, which is successful after mating, and the color is excellent. Just the goose head of a lion-headed goose like that can be sold at a high price below 800 yuan. If you are attached to your neck, it is not running above 1500 yuan.
Up to this point, the price of the old goose head has not reached 2000 yuan, so where is the value of more than 1000 yuan? On the word "halogen". "Brine" is a traditional cooking method in China, which has a long history. As early as the Northern Wei Dynasty, there were historical records about "brine".
Marinated juice is the life of a pot of marinated flavor. In order to create a delicious marinated soup, everything is delicious, which is made of dozens of spices, and the older the marinade, the more mellow it is, so many delicatessens will shout the title of "century-old marinade" to attract customers.
The marinade in every place tastes different. The marinade in Chaoshan area has a strong aroma, and it is not sweet, so it can attract customers just by its taste. A pot of good gravy is expensive, and some deli bosses are willing to give you another meat or two, but they are not willing to give you another spoonful of gravy. Therefore, the price of marinade is extremely expensive, and the price of old goose head marinated with secret marinade sauce is of course doubled.
When the lion's head goose is combined with the old pot-stewed soup, it will become a delicious food that Chaoshan diners are proud of. In this way, it is certainly not a big news to sell the old goose's head for more than 3,000 yuan. When we go to Chaoshan, why not try the lion-headed goose? Although the price is high, it is worthwhile for several people to buy one together.
