Zhejiang drunk chicken

Introduction:

"In rural Zhejiang, every Spring Festival, almost every family has drunk chickens on their seats. This kind of chicken is full-bodied, tender and delicious. It's delicious with wine and rice. Who invented the drunk chicken? There is no historical research, but there are many folklores. A long time ago, in a small village in Zhejiang, there lived three brothers. The eldest and the second marry girls from rich families. They are lazy. Old three married a girl from a poor family. He was clever and capable. The eldest brother and the second brother look in the eye and want to ask her to take charge of financial management, but they are worried that their two daughters-in-law have opinions. Later, the three brothers came up with a way: let the three in laws compete, and let the winner take charge of the family. The content of the competition is to see who makes the best chicken. The three brothers sat down around the table and told the three wives to have no chicken. The eldest daughter-in-law brought a pot of stewed chicken with yellow oil beads floating on the soup. The soup was fresh and the meat was firewood. The three brothers were silent after eating. The second daughter-in-law served a plate of white cut chicken. It was delicious and tasteful, but it was a little light. They didn't say anything after tasting it. The third daughter-in-law's turn, saw her in no hurry to carry a big bowl. As soon as the lid of the bowl was opened, a tempting fragrance immediately filled the room, which greatly stimulated people's appetite. The three brothers moved the chopsticks in a hurry. They only felt that the chicken was fresh and tender, and it tasted delicious. The two sisters in law could not help but put a piece of chicken in their mouth. As expected, the wine was delicious and had a unique flavor. Everyone praised the third daughter-in-law's chicken. The two sisters in law are also convinced. From then on, the third daughter-in-law became a family. Because this kind of chicken is drunk, it is called "drunk chicken."
