Nanjing Salted Duck Salted duck is a famous specialty of Nanjing. It has been famous for a long time and has a history of more than a thousand years.
Nanjing salted duck can be made all year round. The marinating and re-brining period is short. It is made and sold now. Buy it and eat it now. It should not be stored for a long time.
The duck skin is white and the meat is tender, fat but not greasy, fragrant and delicious, and has the characteristics of fragrant, crispy and tender.
The salted duck around the Mid-Autumn Festival every year has the best color and taste because the duck is made during the season when the osmanthus is in bloom, so it is famously known as: osmanthus duck.
"Baimen Cookbook" records: "In the August period of Jinling, salted duck is the most famous, and everyone thinks that the meat has the fragrance of osmanthus." Osmanthus duck is "clear and refreshing, and you won't get tired of eating it for a long time." It is a good drink to drink.
It seems to have become a secular etiquette in Nanjing to go out on the street to buy a bowl of salted duck during festivals or when visitors come to your home on weekdays.
Yuhua Stone is a specialty of Nanjing and is abundant in Yuhuatai, Juhuatai and other places.
According to research, the finest Yuhua Stone is a kind of agate.
It is said that during the reign of Emperor Wu of Liang Dynasty in the Southern Dynasty, the eminent monk Master Yunguang gave a lecture in Shizigang and was so moved that rain fell from the sky like flowers.
When the flowers rained into the ground, they turned into countless colorful gravels as big as chicken eggs and as small as broad beans. From this, Yuhua Stone got its name, and Shizigang was also renamed Yuhuatai.
The Yuhua stones produced in Yuhuatai are various gravels that have been rounded by the movement of flowing water. The main components are hard rocks such as quartz sandstone, quartzite, siliceous rock, and igneous rock, and minerals such as quartz, chalcedony, and opal.
The former has no bright color and luster; the latter, namely quartz, chalcedony and other chemical components, is silica.
Common colors are white, milky white, and slightly yellow.
There are also red, purple, green, rose, and black.
There is also a kind of agate that is composed of stripes of different colors into concentric, ring-shaped and spotted shapes.
Some of the rare Yuhua stones are extremely magnificent, with hazy and transparent images of mountains, rivers, clouds, flowers, birds, fish and insects, ghosts and gods, and some whose patterns resemble those of Zhu Bajie and Sun Wukong, which are even more praised by the world.
People often "keep" Yuhua stones in water basins and display them on their desks as ornamental objects.
Folk artists in Nanjing also carve rain flower stones into various works of art, integrating natural and artificial elements.
Yuhua Tea Yuhua Tea is a specialty of Nanjing and one of the top ten famous teas in the country.
It has a round green shape, tight and straight cords, tall and straight branches, and white hair, just like pine needles, which symbolizes the unyielding and everlasting heroic image of the revolutionary martyrs, so it is named Yuhua Tea.
Yuhua tea is mainly grown in the suburbs of Nanjing. There are strict requirements in raw material selection and process operation. Before Grain Rain, young leaves with a length of 2.5 to 3 cm, one bud and one leaf, are picked and undergo four steps of fixing, rolling, shaping and roasting.
The whole process is done by hand.
Yuhua tea has good color, aroma, taste and shape. After brewing, the tea color is green and clear, the aroma is elegant, the taste is mellow, and the aftertaste is sweet. It has the functions of quenching thirst and refreshing the mind, digesting and diuretic, treating asthma, removing phlegm, and relieving irritability and greasiness.
