When he was about to leave, he visited a friend in the village of Tanniu Town, named Tiancui Village.This friend treated him with authentic Wenchang chicken, and selected a few of the best Wenchang chickens for him to take back to the Yangtze River Delta, where he feasted with his family and friends.
