Later, it was improved by Yi Yin, the prime minister of the Shang Dynasty, and has been passed down for more than 3,000 years. Liyang Xirang is a hilly area with a vast area and suitable water and soil for the breeding and growth of grass geese. It is the origin of Feng Goose with a long history and passed down from generation to generation. Every autumn and winter, every household here will slaughter the grass geese that are about to be raised in batches, pickle them, air-dry them, and wrap them with fragrant straw to keep the meat fresh and tender, as the main dish and delicious food on the New Year's table. Raising geese, pickling geese, and Feng Goose have formed a unique farmhouse landscape here. Its main pickling process is. Slaughter and clean the goose, drain the water, smear the inside and outside of the goose body with coarse salt, pickle it in a jar, and turn it over many times to make it ferment. After being air-dried for four or five days, it is soaked in a brine tank with added ingredients for four or five days before being taken out and air-dried. Generally, it can be cooked and eaten after being air-dried for half a month. The finished product of Liyang Feng Goose is slightly red in color, with tough and thick meat and refreshing taste.
