Who is the founder of Beijing Roast Duck? I heard that he is not from Beijing.

Beijing Roast Duck is a traditional delicacy in China, so to speak, but anyone who comes to visit China will definitely know it. Beijing roast duck is very famous in the world. Do you know who is the founder of Beijing roast duck?

Then, let's learn about Beijing culture in this issue!

Roast duck is a famous Beijing dish with world reputation. It was developed by the Han people in China in the Ming Dynasty and was a court food at that time. The raw materials are high-quality meat duck, Beijing Duck, roasted with fruit and wood charcoal fire, with rosy color, fat but not greasy meat, crisp outside and tender inside. Beijing roast duck is divided into two schools, and the most famous roast duck restaurant in Beijing is the representative of the two schools. It is known as "delicious in the world" because of its red color, tender meat, mellow taste and fat but not greasy.

the founder of quanjude roast duck, yang quanren, is a native of yangjiazhai, Ji county, Hebei province. when he first arrived in Beijing, he bought and sold raw chickens and ducks in the meat market street outside qianmen. Yang Quanren made a careful understanding of the way of selling ducks, and his business became more and more prosperous. He scrimps and saves on weekdays, and his accumulated money snowballs.

Every day when Yang Quanren goes to the meat market to set up a stall to sell chickens and ducks, he passes through a dried fruit shop called Dejuquan. Although the signboard of this shop is eye-catching, the business is declining. In the third year of Tongzhi (1864), business collapsed and was on the verge of bankruptcy. The shrewd Yang Quanren seized this opportunity, took out his savings for many years and bought the shop of "Dejuquan".

with your own shop, what brand name should you choose? Yang Quanren invited a Mr. Feng Shui to discuss. The gentleman walked around the shop twice, suddenly stood still, twisted his beard and said, "Oh, this is really a land of feng shui!" Look at the two small alleys on both sides of this shop, just like two sedan chairs. When a building is built in the future, it will be like an eight-lift sedan chair, and the future is limitless! "

Mr. Feng Shui rolled his eyes and said, "However, in the past, this shop was very unlucky. Unless the old font name of' Dejuquan' is reversed, you can embark on the smooth road. " The words made Yang Quanren smile. The name "Quanjude" is just to his liking.

On the one hand, his name has the word "all", and on the other hand, "gathering virtue" means gathering virtue, and you can flaunt your business and talk about virtue. So he named the store "Quanjude", and invited scholar Qian Zilong to write the three characters "Quanjude" and made a gold plaque to hang on the lintel.

Although the conclusion is called Beijing Roast Duck, the founder of Beijing Roast Duck is not from Beijing, and Beijing Roast Duck is a very historical snack.
