　　The "Fan'er Marinated Goose" from Qianji Town in Shuyang County is very famous. Travelers passing through Qianji from near and far often take some back to enjoy. Fan'er, whose real name is Fan Yuehua, runs his workshop at the eastern end of Qianji Street, right next to National Highway 205. The "Fan'er Marinated Goose" has been around for 20 years. In the past, there was a master from Nanjing who was responsible for guiding the production techniques at a township-run duck processing plant in Qianji. His exceptional skills impressed Fan'er. Later, this master returned to Nanjing to process marinated goose, and Fan'er specifically went to Nanjing to become his apprentice. After mastering the craft, he returned to Qianji and started making marinated goose. As his processing techniques improved, "Fan'er Marinated Goose" gradually became a recognized brand, especially the "Four Goose Parts" (goose head, goose wings, goose feet, and goose gizzard), which are very popular. The secret lies mainly in the high-quality ingredients used. Only mature geese are selected, which are slaughtered and then steamed in a grass pot. The control of high and low heat is precise, and an appropriate amount of traditional Chinese medicinal herbs is added to the seasonings. The resulting marinated goose is delicious, clean, hygienic, and has a unique flavor. It has applied to register the trademark "Fan'er Old Goose." Currently, the production scale of Qianji Marinated Goose continues to expand, and its quality is renowned both within and outside the city. It once won the Special Prize for "Top Ten Farmhouse Dishes" in Shuyang County.
