Why is the Chaoshan goose head so expensive? Is it an IQ tax, or is it hype?
When it comes to the lion's head and goose head in the Chaoshan area, many people will feel that this is an IQ tax and a hype.
Most people think that a goose head sells for 12,000 yuan is better than grabbing.
In fact, the lion's head and goose's head are not hype, nor is it an IQ tax, but part of the truth.
Why partial? Because goose heads are divided into common goose heads and old goose heads.
The value of an ordinary goose head is actually about the same as that of meat.
What is Lion's Head Goose?
The lion's head goose is a large goose species bred in captivity, originating from the Chaoshan region.
They have a strong sense of territory and will attack as soon as other animals or people enter their territory.
Being pecked is quite painful, and there is a saying in the countryside that calls it the "three tyrants of the countryside", which are the big goose, the earth dog and the big rooster.
And the goose is the first of the three, and the ordinary goose is terrifying enough.
And the lion-headed goose, which is two or three times larger than ordinary geese, can imagine how powerful it is.
There are people in Chaoshan all over the breeding lion's head goose, and the weight of the lion's head goose can reach as much as twenty or thirty catties.
Among them, Chaozhou Raoping is the origin of the lion's head goose, and the other three cities all have their own flavors.
The lion's head goose is a herbivorous poultry that eats an amazing amount and is hardly picky.
As long as it is cereals and vegetables, they are acceptable.
Lion-headed geese are large in size, grow fast, have strong adaptability and tolerance for rough feeding.
In addition, they are also active athletes, which makes their flesh firm and loved by people.
The reason why the lion-headed goose is expensive is the goose seedling
Since lion-headed geese need to be reared for 2 to 4 years before they start laying eggs.
And the number of eggs produced is small, at most 30-40 ten eggs a year.
This makes it relatively difficult to raise lion-headed goose seedlings.
Cultivating seedlings requires patience and higher cost risk.
Lion-headed geese are expensive to raise
The growth cycle of the common lion's head goose is about 2 to 3 months.
The cost of raising lion-headed geese is high, and the daily feeding cost of adult geese is at least 1 yuan or more.
Compared with other chickens and ducks, the lion-headed goose does not have an economic advantage.
Why is the old goose head so expensive
The goose that bears the name of the old goose must be bred for 3 years.
As the goose ages, the sarcoma on the goose's head becomes fuller.
When it looks like a lion's head, it can be called an authentic lion's head goose.
The three-year feeding is also prone to various accidents, and illness, stampede, and brawls are also unavoidable, which exacerbates the cost of raising geese.
The high price of lion-headed goose seedlings, the long feeding cycle of old geese, the amount of food, illness, and various accidents make the old goose head expensive.
Chaoshan braised goose is represented
Since ancient times, there has been a saying that no goose is not a feast, and.
In fact, there are many ways to make lion-headed geese.
Hot pot, white-cut goose, roast goose, braised goose, among which braised goose is more famous.
As for the braised goose, I think the practice of each region in Chaoshan is different.
Some are salty and some are sweet, but I think the core taste is fragrant, and the first smell is more fragrant in the mouth. That indescribable, intoxicating scent.
Conclusion
The Chaoshan lion's head goose has been famous for a long time, and the brine is a golden signboard, and I think only after several generations of unremitting exploration and hard work can we have such a delicious taste.
And the old goose head is expensive because of its costDo you still think braised goose heads are expensive?
