Every Quzhou person who works outside will always have a late-night moment and suddenly want to eat the immortal chicken.
The slogan "Tonight my family eats the immortal god chicken" was once the childhood standard of all Zhejiang people.
△ Source: Qu taste
In Quzhou, the birthplace of the immortal god chicken, it first occupied large and small streets, and today there is a tea-colored Changsha at fifty meters, and where there is a vegetable market, there will be an immortal god chicken, and since then it has become the haunting taste of the entire Zhejiang children.
A small chicken leg every day after school, you are the brightest elementary school student in the crowd.
Half a chicken a week, the kid next door immediately cries.
Table must-haves, pull the wind god chicken, immortal god chicken is the first place in the heart of the children.
Other city children's dreams: when I grow up, I want to be a scientist/astronaut/entrepreneur...
And the dream of Zhejiang children: when I grow up, I will become rich and eat immortal chicken every day!
Now that the children in Zhejiang have grown up, the dream does not know whether it is there or not, but it seems that it has also blessed the threat function?
Threatening this thing, practice makes perfect.
In February last year, Quzhou, the hometown of the immortal god chicken, was once on a hot search, and Zhejiang friends seized the opportunity to Amway Quzhou cuisine.
Originally, the scene was very harmonious, until the official micro of the immortal god chicken went to a Weibo comment of Anli Quzhou cuisine to report, and the Zhejiang netizens suddenly changed their painting style, and they all incarnated as Aunt Xue to issue a "door opening warning" to the immortal god chicken (previously closed due to the epidemic).
△ You have the ability to tweet, you have the ability to open the door
It can be seen that Zhejiang people can be said to be dead set on this "chicken".
Now the immortal god chicken, not only to make chicken, but also to make duck, the signature of the old chicken feet, the head of the immortal god duck, the pig tongue are all brine must be ordered, and the vegetarian chicken juice dried tofu, crisp radish also has countless fans. Although it can make people snot and tears a lot, it is just one word: cool.
Zhejiang people go out to school to take the immortal god chicken and strive to be the campus promotion ambassador; they must bring a chicken to work, and be brave to be the first person to buy the office immortal god chicken for free.
△ It is a delicacy to eat after the wisdom teeth have been extracted
For them, what a tasteless duck neck and Zhou Black Duck are all "enchanting chickens/ducks" outside, and only the immortal god chicken is yyds. But whenever you eat chicken, the standard is - just this? There is no immortal god chicken delicious, just that.
Some people even think that the reason why their father looks young is that the old god chicken eats too much??
Friends, the distance between you and the immortal god chicken is just a Zhejiang person. Go grab the Zhejiang man and let him take you to eat chicken!
Probably many Inner Mongolia friends have seen a question mark here, because in their memory, the immortal god chicken is obviously produced in Inner Mongolia!
The people of Zhejiang are about to despair when they hear this. Remember the aforementioned small city of Quzhou in Zhejiang? That's the founding place of the Immortal God Chicken! But everyone's attitude toward Quzhou is often: "How to pronounce the word Qu"?
However, the attitude toward Inner Mongolia is: I heard that your immortal god chicken is very powerful.
The reason for this situation began in 1997. In May of that year, the Bulao Chicken in Hohhot City opened, and it entered the northern market for the first time.
Nowadays, Inner Mongolia has become the most successful franchise place for the immortal god chicken. There are 82 stores in Hohhot alone, and a total of 143 stores in Inner Mongolia, second only to the base camp Zhejiang (221 stores).
Therefore, taking the immortal god chicken as a product of Inner Monte is also a common sentiment of people, but in a certain degree of related search, the founders of the immortal god chicken have run to Hohhot, is Quzhou too aggrieved?
△ Quzhou: Does anyone notice that I am the C bit?
However, for Inner Mongolia, Quzhou (boldly for the people of Quzhou to help) is still more proud than aggrieved, after all, the successful realization of food export.
In this way, we must say two words for Quzhou. The reason why the immortal god chicken went out of Zhejiang and is also known as Inner Mongolia is still due to the unique taste of Quzhou.
Zhejiang cuisine is mostly light and sweet, while Quzhou is completely different.
Located in the western part of Zhejiang Province, Quzhou City is mountainous and humid. Referring to Chengdu and Chongqing, the best way to combat moisture is to eat peppers. At the same time, Quzhou is connected to Jiangxi in the west, and Jiangxi people have never been the second in the matter of eating spicy. Geographical location coupled with the influence of neighbors, Quzhou is a well-known Zhejiang small "Sichuan-Chongqing", cooking to make both the freshness of Zhejiang cuisine and the spicy of Sichuan cuisine.
"Immortal God Chicken" is this spicy representative dish, this southern chicken breaks into the north if it can not break through the famous hall, it can be counted as Zhejiang cuisine and Sichuan cuisine losing together.
There is heaven on the top, Suzhou and Hangzhou on the bottom; the land of fish and rice, eating chicken is really fragrant.
When it comes to Zhejiang cuisine, many people will think of choking crabs, West Lake vinegar fish, hairy crabs, yellow fish and other seafood, as everyone knows, in the matter of eating chicken, Zhejiang people are actually hidden big guys.
If you want to say that the immortal god chicken is so delicious, it is not because Zhejiang chicken methods are rich and diverse, and the cultural soil of fancy chicken eating is "rich".
Hangzhou called Hua tong chicken: one of the famous dishes of Hangzhou recognized by Zhejiang Province, must be made of tender chicken, West Lake lotus leaves and Shaoxing wine, lotus leaves wrapped in mud and simmered for three or four hours, the wine aroma with the baking of the mud seeped into the chicken, and when it was opened on the table, the fragrance was fragrant.
Ningbo bad chicken: flower carving lees free range chicken, pay attention to a little to use 400 days old hen and ten years of flower carving, crispy meat tender, according to the upper class Zhejiang small partner introduction, every year to buy bad chicken to rely on robbery, Ningbo people smell the taste of bad chicken, you know this is going to be the New Year.
Not to mention, Wenzhou Tengqiao smoked chicken - cold dry fermentation, three smoked one mention, caramel flavor; Jiaxing sauce chicken - whole chicken roasted, the original juice soaked, crisp and tender; Huzhou chicken feet - sweet and salty taste, the sauce in the chicken feet of the little princess; Shaoxing drunken chicken - steamed with less oil and wine, wine fragrant chicken is also fragrant; Jinhua's Dongyang crock pot chicken - two pots, slow simmering, pay attention to a mellow aftertaste; Zhoushan white carp button chicken - to wine to fish to chicken juice, to the meat is smooth and soft and fragrant (Zhejiang people seem to love wine a little)...
Why are there fish, shrimp and crabs in Zhejiang, why don't you let go of chickens?
Before talking about chickens, let's talk about hooking, yes, it's the hook that lies down and tastes guts.
During the Spring and Autumn Period, in order to restore the country, King Gou jian of Yue built a chicken farm in present-day Shaoxing Huiji Mountain, first of all, to clarify: this is not to feed himself, but to prepare chickens for grain and grass for the later front-line battles.
Later events are very clear to us, Gou Jianfu became a model, and at the same time he also became the earliest recorded large-scale chicken breeder in China.
But this is all a legend, as the saying goes, rely on water to draft water, rely on the mountain to raise chickens. Zhejiang is indeed a good place to raise chickens.
The chickens raised in Zhejiang are all chickens that are recognized as delicious.
Xianju Three Yellow Chicken, China's National Geographical Indication Product, good egg-laying performance + fresh meat of China's first chicken - Zhejiang.
Xiaoshan chicken, one of the eight famous chickens in China, is precocious and easy to fatten, disease-resistant and coarse, easy to feed, and also tender and yellow, especially fragrant - Zhejiang.

Lingkun chicken, China's poultry genetic resources selected as a chicken species, large size, early maturity, egg production, good meat quality and strong disease resistance, comprehensive development of the first place - Zhejiang.
There are also many customs of eating chicken in Zhejiang. Jinhua and Wuyi have the folklore of killing big roosters on Tanabata, and the legend is that if there is no chicken in the morning, niulang and weaver girl can never be separated (cowherd weaver girl: I don't carry this pot, I see you just want to eat big rooster).
In the area of Cangnan and Pingyang, there is a tradition of eating chicken with white dew, and it is necessary to collect "ten kinds of white" on this day to simmer white hairy black bone chicken, "ten kinds of white" is ten herbs with the word "white", corresponding to white dew, so that the stewed chicken can nourish the body.
Zhejiang Jingning is the only ethnic county in the country, the local marriage customs also have the tradition of killing chickens, the groom official in addition to the woman's relatives and friends to punish the wine, but also to accept "catch the snail", "grab the chicken cage", "kill the chicken spilled blood" and other heavy passes, the latter two is to grab the cage containing the big rooster in the crowd siege, and the chicken killing process can not drop blood on the ground, otherwise they will also be fined.
This kills all kills, adhering to the principle of not wasting, of course, you have to stew/ boil / steam / brine / roast and then eat it. But this is not simply eating chicken, but a wish for good love (chicken: I believe in your ghost).
Next time you eat chicken, remember to look for Zhejiang people.
