Smoked Goose

When it comes to Wuyishan specialty, the Langu Smoked Goose in Wuyishan is second to none. Langu smoked goose originated in Langu Township, Wuyishan, and was smoked with a whole goose smeared with special spices. Smoked goose is not only delicious, but also has a smoky turpentine flavor, which is a classic dish on the most common table in Wuyishan.

The following introduction of the smoked goose in Langu was transferred from Minbei Daily: Huang Chi Rice:

A family dish, with a strong fragrant smell floating far away, people in the past will take a few sips deeply, which is called "smoked goose in Langu".

Thirty years ago, people in the city went all the way to Langu Street to taste the smoked goose, and when they had a good meal, they didn't forget to take one with them when they left. Today, 3 years later, there are "Langu Smoked Goose" shops everywhere in Wuyishan city and scenic spots, and the incense is overflowing, so people who do "Langu Smoked Goose" business are "rich".

The history of "Smoked Goose in Langu" is too long. Needless to say, before the reform and opening up, "Smoked Goose in Langu" was very famous in the local area, but it was not common for people to eat a piece of smoked goose. Even on holidays, it was hard to see this traditional famous dish on the table. After the reform and opening-up, the rural economy has been invigorated, farmers' enthusiasm for production has been improved, and women in the mountains have started to raise geese in large numbers again. On holidays, especially during the transplanting season, this dish has been added to the table. During the transplanting season, farmers in the mountains have the custom of helping each other. If anyone invites a helper, the housewife of this family will have to arrange a sumptuous dinner and kill a fat and big white goose, which will make Huang Chengcheng smell delicious. Watching everyone who has been busy for a day munch on smoked goose and praise at the same time, the host has a sense of accomplishment.

Wuyi Lan Valley is a natural goose farm with numerous streams and dense grass. When I arrived in Langu Township, I looked around, and there were groups of white geese everywhere on the stream, beside the ridge and in the ravine. With the development of rural economy, the goose industry in the village has gradually developed. Farmers not only regard the big white goose as a delicacy on their own table, but also start to expand the scale breeding of dozens and hundreds of geese. Raising geese has become a good way for local farmers to earn income. With sufficient supply of raw materials, local restaurant owners with a sensitive sense of smell quickly made "Langu Smoked Goose" as a signature dish to attract guests from all over the world.

"Smoked Goose" is only fragrant in Lan Valley, and its sales will definitely not be expanded. Some people just want to lead this "earthy and earthy" smoked goose with golden color, fragrant smell and full of bacon to the outside of the mountain. In the early 199s, a young man with foresight in the township opened the first smoked goose shop in the city and named it "the first smoked goose shop in Langu".
