Old Duck Soup with Pickled Radish

　　Old Duck Soup with Pickled Radish is renowned both within and beyond the province for its unique flavor and long history. It is said that Xǔ Hézǐ, a famous songstress of the Tang Dynasty, and Hè Zǐzhēn, China’s first female Red Army soldier, were both particularly fond of this dish. Nowadays, it has become an essential delicacy served to guests in Yongxin. This dish is made with old ducks aged over three years and premium pickled radishes from Yongxin, slow-steamed for 3–4 hours. Regular consumption of this soup helps clear heat, reduce internal fire, relieve summer thirst, and promote saliva production and urination.
