Gushi, known as the "north country south of the Yangtze River, south of the Yangtze River north country".

Gushi, at the junction of Henan and Anhui provinces, is the most populous county in Henan Province, and is known as "the north of the south of the Yangtze River, the north of the south of the Yangtze River". Gushi is located on the south bank of Huaihe River, with a humid climate. It was once the fief of Sun Shuai, a famous family in Chu (the "tomb"). Due to four large-scale migrations to the south in history, its descendants gradually spread to Fujian, Guangdong, Taiwan Province, Hong Kong, Australia, Southeast Asia and Europe and America. Gushi people love to eat, and they are also famous in Henan Province. The cooking method of Gushi cuisine can be simply summarized as "frying and stewing halogen wax" as the main method, supplemented by "frying in kang". The most expensive piece of goose is the goose in Gushi, Henan. Gushi people live on rice, so the geese there are the fattest. Now it is very popular not only in Henan, but also in Henan, from markets to towns and villages. You can see many Gushi goose hotpot restaurants in Beijing. There are two allusions in Goose: Allusion 1: In 582 AD, Emperor Yang Di arrived in Jiangdu, performed hundreds of plays, and hosted a banquet in honor of all the beloved princesses on the red boat. There are nearly a thousand kinds of delicious food, but Jinhua ham and Gushi goose have swept away the haze. Allusion 2: According to The Complete Secret History of China, in 679 AD, Wang, a famous poet in the Tang Dynasty, opposed Wu Zetian's loss of official position and returned to southern Fujian. Passing through Gushi, a banquet was held at the east gate of Gushi Chengguan to entertain the king. Yuan Guang presented a Khan goose and drank it all at once. Wang looked at a group of geese in Shihe River downstairs and sang "Goose, Goose, Goose". In ancient times, besides roasting, there were "sealing geese", "altar geese" and "roasted geese", but the "roasted geese" here are different from the "roasted geese" now. Ni Yunlin wrote "Roast Goose" in Yunlintang Diet System Collection: "Wash a whole goose, wipe its belly with salt San Qian, stuff a handful of chopped green onion, and rub honey all over it to mix wine. Steam a big bowl of wine and a big bowl of water in the pot and hold it with chopsticks to keep the goose away from the water. Use two bunches of mountain grass in the kitchen and burn it slowly. When the pot cover is cool, uncover the pot cover, turn the goose over, and still seal the pot cover for steaming. Use another bundle of firewood and burn it to the limit. Once the firewood kills itself, don't mess with the lid. Seal it with paper towel paste and wet it with water when it cracks. When the pot is cooked, not only the goose is rotten as mud, but also the soup is delicious. " ""Each bundle of firewood weighs 820 pounds. When rubbing salt, mix minced onion and pepper with wine and stir well. "This method is said to have been created by a kitchen in Suzhou. Percy is in Gushi. Whenever a distinguished guest comes to the door, the conditional host will take Percy to dinner to show hospitality. It is said that the production of leather silk began in the late Ming Dynasty, and was originally refined from clean pigskin selected by the owner of Cheng Yi restaurant in Gushi County. Originated from the skin, as thin as silk, hence the name "Pisi". Because of its pleasant flavor, exquisite production and rich nutrition, it was famous all over the world in the Qing Dynasty and was listed as a tribute and entered the palace banquet. Silk can be made into more than 20 famous dishes, such as sweet-scented osmanthus silk, shredded pork floss, cold shredded pork, shredded pork round, shredded pork floss, dried shredded pork, steamed shredded pork, naughty shredded pork cold, shredded pork bazi, etc. Production method of shredded pork skin: scrape off all the fat from the skin of big fat pig, cut it into paper-like thin slices and then cut it into filaments while it is fresh, and put it in a ventilated place to dry in the shade, not exposed to the sun. Leather silk is made by soaking, degreasing, slicing, shredding and drying. In the past, it was always made by hand. Now using mechanized production line, the quality and production efficiency of leather silk have been greatly improved. In addition, goose nuggets, crispy jiaozi, chicken soup handmade noodles, radish nest, ginger old five mutton soup, braised turtle, Hu spicy soup, horse steamed buns and fish ball chowder are all rare local delicacies. Gushi is located in the transitional zone from the Central Plains to the south of the Yangtze River, which makes China's three large-scale population migrations to the south ("Crossing the Crown to the South", "Anshi Rebellion" and "Jingkang Rebellion") all completed through it, and because of this, it has created the cultural diversity of Gushi and gradually become "the first hometown of overseas Chinese in the Central Plains". * The pictures in this article are from the Internet.
