Origin of Gourmet Roasted Goose in Gujing:

More than 7 years ago, a great naval battle of Song and Yuan Dynasties unified China in Yamen, Xinhui. After the war, an imperial teacher who was in charge of making roast goose in the court of the Southern Song Dynasty fled to Xiandong Village on the west bank of Yinzhou Lake with his daughter.

The Imperial Master opened a roast goose shop in Xiandong Village. With the superb skills of the court's secret roast goose, the goose was cooked with unique color and fragrance, and it soon became famous for dozens of miles, with a particularly good business. Later, the royal teacher's daughter grew up and married to the ancient well on the east bank of Yinzhou Lake. Her daughter also brought her father's secret roast goose to the ancient well. The roast goose in Gujing started from this and has been passed down from generation to generation today.

Compared with the roasted goose in Guangzhou, the skin of the roasted goose in Gujing is relatively thin, with a little golden color in the coke, and the skin is thin and crisp, with a faint scent of litchi wood. In terms of taste, "sweetness" and "fragrance" are the characteristics of Gujing roast goose. Sweetness comes from honey and unique marinade of Gujing roast goose.

Then there is the aroma. On the one hand, the aroma of roast goose in Gujing is the result of baking litchi wood and closed mud stove, and on the other hand, it is the result of using dried tangerine peel, a special product of Xinhui, as a marinade. The final roasted goose product is tender and refreshing, fresh and juicy, and has the characteristics of fragrant teeth and cheeks.
