Old duck soup with white gourd

Introduction:

"Three days into the kitchen, wash hands for soup", from the Tang Dynasty poet Wang Jian. There are only a few poems in the poem that vividly describe the uneasiness of the new daughter-in-law. But I stubbornly according to their own understanding, hand washing soup should also be a kind of happiness. Even if we don't know how to cook, we can spend a little time making a pot of good soup for our family. Up to now, I still like to use casserole and open fire to make soup, because I like the smell of fireworks when I make soup. At the end of "the second season of China on the tip of the tongue - family biography", it tells the story of Guangdong's old fire soup, including a "stewed duck with lotus leaf and wax gourd". As planned, tonight's family gathering will come to decrypt the soup. Unfortunately, we can't find fresh lotus leaves in the market today. But in fact, after several hours of slow stewing, the soup is rich and sweet. This is also our Chaoshan area, one of the home style soup in summer, can invigorate the spleen and remove dampness, dispel heat and heat
