Nanjing salted duck is a famous specialty snack in Nanjing. I heard that this kind of domestic duck is also related to Emperor Qianlong. During the Yongzheng period, Qianlong gave lectures in Jiangnan and ate instant-boiled mutton in a restaurant. The cook ate a batch of domestic ducks in a hurry. When I came home at noon, I found all the ducks dead. It turns out that the goose farmer's children are so naughty that they tease domestic ducks with salt. Finally, the domestic ducks were salted alive. But emperor Qianlong needs to come at once, and it will be too late to find another batch of domestic ducks. You can't make instant-boiled mutton, you need to lose your head. The cook gritted his teeth and cooked those domestic ducks (if the salt is too high, the strings will explode). After eating, Emperor Qianlong said that he was "impressed by me" and named him "Nanjing salted duck". Since then, this Nanjing specialty snack has spread like this.
