Nanjing salted duck is a well-known specialty snack in Nanjing. I heard that this kind of domestic duck is also related to Emperor Qianlong. During the Yongzheng period, Qianlong lectured in Jiangnan to eat instant-boiled mutton in a restaurant. The chef hurried into the batch of domestic ducks. When I came home at noon, I found that all the ducks were dead. It turned out that the children of goose farmers were so naughty that they used salt to tease domestic ducks. Finally, the domestic ducks were salted to death alive. But emperor Qianlong needs to come immediately, and it is too late to find a batch of domestic ducks. If you can't make instant-boiled mutton, you need to lose your head. The chef bites his teeth and cooks those domestic ducks (the salt is too high, and the skewers will burst). After eating, Emperor Qianlong showed that he was "deeply impressed by me" and gave him the name "Nanjing salted duck". Since then, this Nanjing specialty snack has spread like this.
