In Quzhou, duck heads are often made with salt water, boiled with thick sauces such as soy sauce, and supplemented with spices, which are extremely tasty and memorable. Many families will choose duck head as their daily dish, not only because it tastes delicious, but also because its preparation method is not too difficult. Put a big pot on the stove, add fried onions, ginger, garlic, clear water, soy sauce and other seasonings, put fresh duck head in it after boiling, stew until it is mature, and then take it out of the pot. The duck head made in this way is soft, melts in the mouth, bites the bones, and sucks out rich sauce, which is intoxicating.

Quzhou has a famous pot-stewed company-"Bulaoshen", and the duck head made by this company has a good reputation. In addition, it has a legend. It originated from the ancient "medicated chicken", and its particularity lies in its making method. It is made of Chinese herbal medicines through scientific formula, and does not contain yellow wine, soy sauce and any chemical additives. The meat is crisp but not rotten, and it is fragrant and delicious. It has good color, fragrance and shape, and has certain health care function. This kind of folk food was so favored by Emperor Qianlong, who was touring the south at that time, that it was later improved by Doctor Tai, and precious supplements were added to the recipe, which became a secret meal in the palace. At present, the traditional formula has been adopted by the "rejuvenation" duck head. The cooked duck head has no soup, only pieces of crystal clear frozen meat, which is chewy and slightly harder than the homemade one, which gives the "rejuvenation" duck head another unique flavor and edibility.

In fact, although I am from Quzhou, I don't like spicy food very much, and I seldom eat spicy food because my stomach is not good. It's just that I liked the rich fragrance so much that I didn't put it down until the last bite.

The overview of local specialties shows the local people's deep imprint on their favorite food culture, and includes the local people's understanding of what they think of as "food". I believe that all people will have a special love for the food in their hometown more or less, because those foods bring us indescribable comfort and pleasure, which is exactly what we need.
