What does Beijing roast duck look like?

American roast turkey and Beijing roast duck are both roasted in Europe or the Mediterranean.

Goose. Let's start with the roast turkey in America. Turkey is a specialty of the United States, and Europeans go to the United States.

Before, it was domesticated by Indians. The English name of Turkey is "Turkey".

Because Europeans think it looks like Turkish clothing: black head and red body. European immigrants

After people came to the United States, they had the requirement of eating geese before raising them well. So I ate the fire.

Chicken. Found that turkey is more delicious than goose. There are many turkeys in North America. So roast turkey

It has become a big dish for Americans. In the United States, this is an important dish of Thanksgiving. Why is Thanksgiving?

Do you want to eat roast turkey? This is an older story. Thanksgiving is unique to America.

Legal holidays, it seems that there are no other countries. In fact, ancient western countries had this kind of folk.

Festival. The content is to thank God for his care after the harvest. Mid-Autumn Festival or Dragon Boat Festival in China

This is actually the content of the festival. These two festivals in China, one after the autumn harvest,

One after the summer harvest. At this time, people have passed the era of no food and have new food.

It must be fun to eat, so celebrate and thank God. Some people will say: Mid-Autumn Festival is not.

From the struggle against the rulers of the Yuan Dynasty? Isn't the Dragon Boat Festival to commemorate Qu Yuan? Only later

That makes sense. In particularly ancient times, they were just festivals to celebrate the harvest. in this

On this festival, we must thank God for his care. Because without God's care, there will be natural disasters.

Man-made disasters have made crops grow poorly. The God of China is a dragon, an ancestor, and heaven and earth. therefore

Dragon boat race and throwing zongzi into the water may be a thank you to the dragon. And the moon in Mid-Autumn Festival.

Cake may be food offered to gods or ancestors. This is a custom in China. The west is harvesting.

After that, we should also thank God, so there was Thanksgiving in the ancient west.

In the west, the roast bird on Thanksgiving Day is not necessarily a roast goose. Why do you eat roast poultry? we

I want to read the Bible. There is a passage in the Exodus of the Old Testament: Moses took Israel.

The Israelites entered desert of sinai without eating or drinking. The Israelis are very dissatisfied.

Start complaining. Moses said that God had heard their complaints. They will get food.

As a result, a large number of quails flew in and landed in their camp the next day. Moses said,

This is the meat that God gave you. So they ate a big meal happily. This could be

This is the earliest Thanksgiving in Judaism. What is the cooking method for Israelis to eat this?

Quails not recorded in the Bible. But when I think about it, I know it must be baked.

Because they are in the desert, they are short of water and can't cook. It is impossible to steam. and

They can't steam either. And it's baked without any cooking utensils. They fled Egypt,

There can't be heavy and expensive copper pots. There was no aluminum or iron at that time. ordinary people

Can't afford to use bronze, in China at that time, the copper pot was a tripod, which was a great thing. disappear

Israelis who run will definitely not bring this kind of thing. The clay pots used by ordinary people are easy to smash.

If it's broken, it can't be taken on the road, so they must have roasted quail. This is also the best.

A way to eat. So there is such a content in western culture: birds are gods.

Rescue and gifts for people. People should bake and eat. Eat it on Thanksgiving Day.

Children are the most suitable. Quails are much smaller than geese. Gooses are birds. People are always looking for hypertrophy.

Eat more meat. Goose, in particular, is a specialty of the Mediterranean region, just as Turkey is America.

The characteristics of. So later people ate roast goose instead of roast quail on Thanksgiving Day. In fact, in Xu's view,

On many festivals, we all eat roast goose. Because western festivals are related to God in Otawa. Europeans came to America.

Europeans found that the gift God gave them was a turkey bird. So they eat roast turkey.

Thank god. Knowing the story of roast turkey makes it easier to accept the story of roast duck.

Yes The ancestor of roast duck is also the roasted goose in the west. Goose roasting technology was introduced to China twice. one

The second time was in the Yuan Dynasty. Once in the Qing Dynasty. In the Yuan Dynasty, the Mongol Empire occupied a large area.

Website. From eastern China to the Mediterranean, it is his territory. So to the west

People like Kyle Poirot can come to China. They brought a lot of western culture. bag

Including cannons and roast geese. There was a roast duck restaurant in Yuan Dynasty. Why did you go from roast goose to roast goose?

Roast duck? Like a goose turning into a turkey. Ducks are a specialty of China. Roast duck lock

The ducks used are even better varieties bred in China. Its scientific name is Beijing roast duck.

Now the whole world is eating this kind of duck. I said: Wild ducks are found all over the world, but

Only China domesticated them. China began to domesticate wild ducks two thousand years ago.

That's mallard in English. This name is now a kind of clothes.

Brand. Ducks are not domesticated in Europe. But domesticated geese very early. They domesticated

Killing geese is enough. Because geese are bigger than ducks, as for ducks, the Mediterranean and Europe.

People have always only regarded it as prey. There are records of geese in the Bible. Biography of Rome

It tells the story that a flock of geese saved Rome. In China, geese are not as common as ducks. at present

You can see ducks in every pond and seldom see geese. So the roast goose is in China.

Turned into a roast duck. The roast duck in the Yuan Dynasty is similar to the roast goose in the West.

All the same. In China, it is called "Stewed Roast Duck". It seems that I can't eat this roast duck now

Yes

This baking method is also western: a stove made of stone or brick. inside

Make a fire. First, the furnace itself is heated to make the furnace wall absorb a lot of heat. Then put it in.

Ducks. Roast duck with the heat from the furnace wall. This is also baked by Europeans.

Method. This can make the temperature of the heated food not high, uniform and long. Invent this recipe

The French must have special experience in baking food. Which means eating toast every day.

Westerners. Because baking bread every day has been baked for thousands of years, baking bread was invented.

The way to make the crust smell like smoke is to bake it thoroughly without hardening it.

Use the heat absorbed by the furnace wall to bake, not the fire source itself. Because this roast duck is a kind of roast duck.

Duck is roasted in it, so it is called braised roast duck. In the late Qing dynasty, the practice of roast duck changed.

It has changed. Change from stewing furnace to hanging furnace. And the way of eating also has obvious Shandong characteristics. solid

The international roast duck restaurant is opened by Shandong Rongcheng. Characterized in that cakes, green onions or cucumbers are used,

Eat the sauce with the duck. Cake rolls, green onions, cucumbers and sauces are the most common things that Shandong people eat. but

The author has a hypothetical explanation for why Shandong people invented hanging roast duck:

In the late Qing Dynasty, Germany occupied Qingdao, Shandong Province, and at the same time immigrated to Qingdao in large numbers.

At that time, the German emperor William II said (as if there was an imperial edict): "Qingdao belongs to Germany and

Stay in Germany forever. "So the status of Qingdao at that time was not a colony, but Germany.

Chinese mainland is an enclave of China. This was of course Mr. William's idea. Occupy Shandong

Prussian soldiers are also hunters. Wild ducks are their traditional prey. they

Their ancestors have been hunting wild ducks in Germany or now Poland and the Czech Republic.

Thousands of years of history. So I'll keep calling when I get to China. And wild ducks in China.

Quite a lot. At least at that time, there were quite a few. Their habit is to fight and eat in the wild. such

The way to eat is similar to today's BABIQUE, roasted with an open flame. This kind of wild baking is like

Beijing roast duck is very similar. Is to rub honey on ducks and roast them.

China people also learned this practice immediately, but it didn't completely eliminate boredom.

Roast duck. This is a combination of boredom and open flame baking. Roast duck not only has the smell of roasting with open fire,

There is a smoldering fire again.

At the same time, China people made a particularly great invention. Just don't give it to ducks.

Open the box. Just make a small hole in the duck, take out the internal organs and put them in the duck's stomach.

Fill the noodles with boiling water, and then make a small hole. Then hang it on the fire and bake it. Advantages of this method

There are several. The first is to prevent ducks from losing water because they are roasted. The second is to soak the duck's stomach with water.

Inflate air, so that the duck skin will swell instead of being baked soft, so that the duck skin is very

Thin and brittle. Duck skin becomes the best part of roast duck. It was invented in China.

When baking, it is the time when westerners generally use steam engines. China people release ducks.

As a boiler. It seems to have the same effect as westerners. But if we take this approach,

Combined with the way of eating roast duck, another story is also drawn. How to eat roast duck

It's very special, that is, eating skin burritos with green onions or cucumbers. Boil the bones and drink them. we also

Yes, the roast goose in the west has a big problem, that is, the skin is hard to roast, but it is actually human.

Children often don't eat skin. As for bones, you can't eat them. Germans also often appear in Shandong.

Eat roast goose on holidays. Like modern westerners, meat is eaten, and skin and bones are eaten.

Throw it away, and these skins and bones will become the food of China coolies. Shandong people press it themselves.

My habit is to roll the skin into cakes and boil the bones into soup. And finding such a way to eat has its own reasons.

It tastes very good. People use their unique wisdom to combine this roasted goose skin with

The way of bones is changed to the way of eating roast duck. We know that this lower class

Invented cooking occupies a particularly important position in China's cooking. take for example

"beggar chicken", it is said that the casserole house also started from the fat and other wastes of the rich entering the water.

Cooking methods such as instant-boiled mutton, steamed buns and braised fire also come from the lower level.

In Qing dynasty, the duck of roast duck changed from ordinary duck to stuffed duck. Duck stuffing

The method comes from Europe. This method was originally used to fill geese. Because Europeans love it.

Foie gras or foie gras? Europeans came up with stuffing to make geese grow big livers.

Method. It's called "forced feeding" in English. The purpose is to make the goose grow a big fat.

Liver. Speaking of which, it seems a little disgusting. As a result, China people learned this method.

Implement it on ducks. It became Beijing duck-stuffing.

Later, Beijing roast duck (not stuffed duck) was introduced to Britain, and Britain improved Beijing roast duck.

Beijing ducks can grow to more than ten kilograms without stuffing. And because of the improved feed, the ducks lost weight.

The content of meat increased. It is found that the roast duck made from this duck is more suitable for Chinese restaurants in Europe.

Meet the taste of Europeans. Because everyone is afraid of eating too much fat. Later, China also

Introduced this duck. Now, some people call it an English duck. It's actually a Beijing roast duck.

Improved varieties of. This kind of duck is basically sold in roast duck restaurants now. I think it really is.

The delicious duck is the lake duck in the south. The lake duck is small, but it tastes much better than stuffed duck.

If you change the dish made by South Lake duck to stuffed duck, the taste will be far from good. But lake

The duck is too small to roast. Because roast duck can't be opened, and it mainly eats skin. lake

Ducks are not suitable for this practice. Sichuan has "duck in oil". It's made of lake ducks. taste

Not bad either. As for wild ducks, I haven't eaten them, and there may not be any in China.

Here it is.

Now let's discuss the cooking method of "baking".

Quanjude is a Shandong restaurant. Of all the dishes, only roast duck is roasted.

In eastern China, barbecue is not a way of cooking. China likes steaming. Stir-fried that

Steaming and frying are unique methods in China. All steamed buns in China are steamed. According to textual research

The "sesame cakes" sold in Wu Dalang are also steamed cakes, not pancakes. Some people say it is steamed bread. Hill

Fang's bread and cake are baked. Because bread is the staple food of westerners, we should eat it every day.

So they are associated with baking every day. China is really not good at baking.

Interests, China's cakes, also become steamed, and the same is true for sending cakes. It shows us

Persistence and love for steaming. The way we eat ducks is mainly steaming. Like salted duck.

Both preserved duck and salted duck are steamed. Cantonese people especially like stews. special

Poultry stew is considered as a good tonic. The so-called stew is actually steamed. Besides roast duck,

There are almost no baked vegetables in East China. Almost all China restaurants, except.

There is no oven except the roast duck seller. The kebabs we often eat are from the west of China.

Cooking methods. Some of this method comes from the farther west. Western barbecue

In order to make it, we must add spices unique to the West, such as cumin. And the roast duck is not put.

These things.

As for why people in China like steaming so much, the author has a hypothetical explanation.

This may be related to the invention of edible salt in China very early. The center of ancient civilization in China, I.

Directly away from the ocean. Eating salt has become a big problem. According to expert research, Huangdi and Chiyou

The war was to rob the salt pond near Yuncheng, Shanxi. Phenologist (Zhu Kezhen)

Investigation. At that time, there was a lot of water in China, so even the salt pond should be a salt pond, but it didn't.

Rock salt. In order to change salt water into salt, there are two methods: drying salt and boiling salt. Moreover, the amount of sun-dried salt is large.

And flat beaches. There are not many places like this in mainland China, and some of them are cultivated into fields.

The ancient Greeks also had this problem. Greeks live by the sea, and salt lives in the Mediterranean.

This part is higher than the usual seawater. But the coast of Greece is mountainous and there are few beaches. he

Children don't have enough salt on the beach, so they use their own products, such as wine.

And olive oil to change the salt in the Black Sea. There are large flat beaches that can be used as

A salt pond for drying sea salt. Therefore, China people in mainland China can only get salt by cooking. special

This is a salt that can be used for commercial transportation. In ancient books in China, there are pictures of boiled salt, but there is no sun-dried salt.

The shape of. And there is a lot of steam when cooking. This steam can be used for cooking. There are also

Steamed meat. You can also steam the meat with the rice. For example, steamed pork with rice flour now. Everybody knows that.

Road, steaming is a way to waste fire. Baking and cooking can make food more direct.

Receive heat. So there must be a special reason why people in China like steaming. That's the truth.

Use the steam of boiling salt.

I'm exhausted! Thank you, that's all.
