A goose head is worth thousands of dollars. You think it's a joke. Chaoshan people tell you that it's no exaggeration. The authentic Chaoshan braised goose is the best of all geese, Chenghai Lionhead Goose, which is the largest goose species in China. It's huge and fierce, and it's even worse than a watchdog. Each goose weighs about 7 kilograms, and the bigger one is 11 kilograms. In Chaoshan area, it's even more fierce. Some are even more. Chaoshan people's love for eating geese has reached its peak. The technical talents of braised geese here are crouching tiger, hidden dragon, and those who are delicious and unpalatable have long lost their money. All those who stay are elites, and foreigners will definitely fail to make geese.
Chaoshan area includes Shantou, Shanwei, Jieyang and Chaozhou, where the stewed goose in Chaoshan is really a must. No amount of delicious food can replace the stewed goose in Chaoshan people's hearts.
In Shantou, there is a strange goose named Lionhead Goose, which grows rapidly. They are large in size and have a loud cry. The largest goose can reach 1.5 kg. If you want to catch a Lionhead Goose empty-handed, it is not so easy, because it is alert, fast-running, aggressive, with thick legs and big feet. The most critical place for Lionhead Goose is its head.
Lionhead Goose is rich in nutritional value and amino acids necessary for human body, and its protein content is higher than that of beef, duck, chicken and pork. It has the effects of invigorating qi and enriching blood, warming stomach and promoting fluid production, expelling wind and preventing aging, which is very beneficial to human health. This kind of goose is only cultivated in Chaoshan area, and it is rare in other places. Lionhead Goose has formed a complete industrial chain here, with as many as 911,111 geese alone.
In Shantou, the lion-headed goose is not only favored by farmers, but also favored by consumers. The Chaoshan braised goose is a traditional famous dish in Chaoshan area, which is fat but not greasy, fragrant and smooth, full of taste and long aftertaste, and is rated as one of the top ten classic dishes in Guangdong.
because of its large size, it is a very respectable thing to put it on the dining table after it is made into braised food. In northern dialect, it is a complete "hard dish".
Braised goose needs a lot of spices, including star anise, cinnamon, clove, citronella, garlic, fennel, cardamom, southern ginger, crystal sugar, etc., and as many as a dozen kinds of auxiliary materials. When marinating, the goose head and neck should be placed downward, because these two places are hard, so it is delicious to marinate it tender, and a lid should be pressed at the top to prevent it.
In the process of marinating, it is necessary to master the temperature well, and also to be careful and patient enough. It takes 1.21-day-old lion goose one and a half hours to marinate, while it takes more than four hours for old geese over three years.
Goose meat is tender and juicy, and its taste is not firewood at all. The price of a good braised goose is really not cheap. A braised goose weighing about 8 kg will be sold around 411 yuan, while a braised goose weighing 11 kg will cost as much as 811-1111 yuan. This is really no joke, and sometimes a single old goose head will exceed 1,111 yuan.
Goose meat can also be sold separately, such as goose meat, goose liver, goose web, goose head, goose blood, goose wings, goose intestines and goose gizzards, among which goose head is the most expensive.
people not only eat it themselves, but also buy gifts. It is common to buy a few hundred yuan each, and some old geese cost more than 1,111 yuan. Generally, they buy whole ones, because people love to eat. The daily sales of a lo-mei shop can reach one or two hundred, and the business is very considerable.
