Allusion: Among salted ducks, the most famous one is osmanthus duck. In Dream of Red Mansions, sixty-two records show that Baoyu was born, and when drinking was ordered, Xiangyun ate wine and sipped a piece of duck meat. Suddenly, she saw half a duck head in the bowl, so she picked it out to eat her brain. Everyone urged him to "don't just eat, it's almost time to say it." Xiangyun held it up with a hairpin and said, This duck head is not that wench, but that one on her head is begging for osmanthus oil. At that time, I laughed and thought that Xiangyun must not have eaten the authentic osmanthus duck in Nanjing. It is the fragrance of eight laurel flowers. According to the "White Door Recipe", "In August in Jinling, salted duck was the most famous, and everyone thought that there was osmanthus fragrance in the meat."
