〖Braised Duck Tongue with Soy Sauce〗------Summer Snacks with Wine” Duck Making “

Overview

A duck's tongue is not called duck tongue, but Wenzhou people call it duck money. Why do ducks make money? Let’s start with this dish today! Wenzhou is a water city with Oujiang River and close to the sea. Even in the mountains, there are developed water systems. Xie Lingyun, who served as the prefect of Yongjia and pioneered Chinese landscape poetry, is also a paradise for ducks. There are ducks in Shuicheng. After large-scale duck farming, Wenzhou's non-staple food processing industry emerged, decomposing ducks and duck tongue became a famous dish. I have eaten duck tongue several times in Wenzhou. It is a cold dish. The duck tongue is braised and air-cooked until it is semi-dry. When you chew it carefully in your mouth, it is full of toughness and quite chewy. However, I was alone and he told me that people in Wenzhou call it duck money, not duck tongue. What is said is that in Wenzhou dialect, the pronunciation of tongue is actually the same as loss. In this way, eating duck tongue means eating duck loss. Wenzhou people, whose sweat pores are full of business cells, are not willing to suffer duck loss, so they simply changed it and called duck tongue to make money. Treating guests becomes eating duck and making money. As for the pig's tongue, it is still called Kouzuo, only the name of the human tongue remains unchanged. The names of dishes like "Yuzhuan" and "Kouzhuang" can indeed reflect the character of Wenzhou people. They are not pleasant to the ear, and the most important thing is unlucky. So why not change it and call it "Zhengzhuang"?
