The silk-wrapped duck egg is one of the three treasures of the Qi River in Hebi, Henan. It is produced in the hot springs of Xugou and Wangtan villages in the middle reaches of the Qi River, which are less than 2.5km away. The hot spring water volume is 15m3/s, and the water temperature is around 19℃ all year round. The spring contains a variety of trace elements. In addition, the river bed is wide, the water flow is slow, the water grass is luxuriant, and there are a lot of plankton, which is the source of fish, shrimp and various microorganisms. Concentrated spawning places, ducks live in this unique environment, and the nutrients they get are particularly rich. Therefore, the silk-wrapped duck eggs produced here are extremely precious. Qihe silk-wrapped duck eggs, from the appearance, are the same as ordinary duck eggs, but the mystery of silk-wrapped duck eggs is in it. Take 5 samples for testing. After the fresh silk-wrapped eggs are opened, they are placed in a bowl and the egg core looks very similar. The red sun wrapped in a layer of plain silk is crystal bright and red, which is particularly beautiful. After being fried in oil, it is dark yellow, chewing like lean meat, and it tastes delicious without fishy smell. If the fresh silken egg or the silken egg marinated in salt are cooked, the egg yolk is red or dark orange. There is a circle of different color circles, that is, a circle of red and a circle of yellow. Each layer has a thickness of 2mm. There is an oily separation between the layers, which goes all the way to the core. Because I have been in Hebi for a few years, I have a few friends. This time, my friend brought it here specially. So I marinated it and shared it with everyone. Because the silk-wrapped eggs are so precious, I was not willing to pick them all, only 10 were pickled
