Historical allusions of braised chicken in Dezhou;
In the thirty-first year of Kangxi, an artist named Jia cooked roast chicken in the street outside the west gate of Dezhou City. He opened one roast chicken shop after another. Because this street leads to the canal pier, small business is not bad. One day, shopkeeper Jia had something urgent to go out. He told Xiao Er to put down the fire. I didn't know that the shopkeeper Jia had left, but the boy quickly fell asleep in front of the stove and woke up to find that the fire had been cooked.
When the shopkeeper Jia came back, he wanted to fish out the chicken and sell it in the store. Unexpectedly, the smell of chicken is very attractive, attracting many passers-by to buy it. The guests were full of praise when they bought it: not only the meat was rotten and fragrant, but even the bones were crisp and fragrant when chewed. It can be said that it is really fragrant. Later, Jia shopkeeper devoted himself to studying and improving his skills.
This led to the original practice of braised chicken, that is, cooking with big fire and stewing with small fire. In today's words, it is necessary to wait until the fire is over and Wu Wen is in order. Therefore, braised chicken is also called "roast chicken". Jia Jia Chicken is very famous, so our regular customers suggested giving it a name. Boss Jia can't think of anything himself. A few days later, I suddenly remembered that there was an old scholar named Ma in the street and thought he would have a good name.
So I wrapped two steaming chickens in lotus leaves and walked quickly to Ma Xiucai's house in Liukou Street, Majia, asking the scholar to name the chickens. Ma Xiucai tasted the chicken, asked how to do it, and recited it while tasting it. He blurted out: "when you shake your flesh and blood in the heat, the strange fragrance comes unexpectedly;" Provoked the old man to stretch his five fingers, and the entrance teeth stayed in Tenshindon for a long time. "
After the poem was sung, he blurted out, "What a spiced braised chicken!" The following year, 1693, Jia mentioned braised chicken for sale at the Lantern Festival, which sold well and gained great fame. Since then, there have been different sales of roast chicken and braised chicken in Dezhou City, which lasted for several years.
