The origin of Jiujiu duck neck is as follows:
Jiujiu duck neck is derived from the name "Jiujiu duck", which is derived from the milk name "Jiujiu" of a scholar with the surname of Tang. When "Jiujiu" was young, he was kind, sincere, hard-working and intelligent. He worked in a Chongqing restaurant and was liked by the chef Ji. The chef Ji is old and has no children, and "Jiujiu" takes great care of his friends. Over the years, the old man and the young man gradually become close friends.
In the Spring Festival of 1985, "Jiujiu" went home to get married, and the old chef Ji taught her the ancestral braised duck recipe as a congratulation. In the summer of that year, "Jiujiu" and his wife opened a store in Zhengzhou, named "Jiujiu Duck Store". Since then, Jiujiu duck neck has become popular. Jiujiu duck neck uses ancient recipes passed down from ancestors for thousands of years and modern technology. It uses more than 30 kinds of Chinese medicinal materials and pure natural spices.
The allusion of Jiujiu Duck Neck
During the Warring States Period, the King of Chu led his troops on an expedition and passed through Hanzhong, where they were trapped and exhausted. One day, while passing by a wild lake, I saw a flock of ducks flying across the lake. It was a spectacular sight. The King of Chu was overjoyed and ordered his soldiers to capture and eat him. Not long after, there were countless other ducks, and there was just one person in the army who was good at making meals. Taught everyone to brew it with a secret recipe, and it became a delicious duck neck. The king of Chu tasted it and was full of praise. The military sergeants especially liked it.
After getting this delicious food, the Chu army became more and more brave, conquering cities and territories into the "Seven Great Deeds". Occasionally, there is discomfort due to typhoid fever, but the food is not bad at all, and everyone praises it. This is where the name Jiujiu Duck Neck comes from.
For more than thousands of years, this secret recipe has not been passed down. It just so happens that there is a soup called Lajiu from Hankou, which is very good at eating and drinking, and they put a lot of thought into preparing the delicacies. One day, I met a friend in central Sichuan and talked about the delicious Jingwu duck neck in the Warring States period, which made me sigh. Tang had a sudden idea, read through ancient books, looked for good recipes, and combined the strengths of Sichuan and Hubei. After several years, he gradually developed a unique style.
The duck neck brewed by him is also unique. When everyone ate it, everyone praised it as a delicacy. The reputation of "nine-nine duck neck" has been carried forward since then. Counting on my fingers, it has been more than ten years. Thousands of years of delicious food are finally here.
