Swallows lay eggs and build nests three times a year. The nest used by Ma Yanyan's father after feeding Xiaoyan has been abandoned, and a new nest will be built next time. Once the nest is destroyed in the process of breeding Xiaoyan, the swallow will never come back to nest. Therefore, no swallow farmer will be stupid enough to pick Xiaoyan's bird's nest without leaving the nest, and picking swallow's bird's nest will not force the swallow to vomit blood. . . Therefore, eating bird's nest is environmentally friendly and there is no need to feel guilty.
The bird's nest shoveled directly from the wall is Mao Yan, which is the raw material of bird's nest. Mao Yan will make a preliminary classification according to the number and appearance of hair. According to the amount of hair, it can be divided into extremely light hair, light hair, medium hair and heavy hair.
Generally, the first nesting time of swallows every year coincides with the rainy season. The climate is warm, the food is abundant, and the quality of bird's nest is also the best, that is, in the first stage, the more swallows and impurities in bird's nest, the more yellow the color. Compare the bird's nest at the end of last year and this year's issue.
The less hair, the smaller the proportion of Mao Yan in all raw materials. Maybe only a few kilograms of raw materials can be picked out. Without picking hairs, it can be said that the nutrition and characteristics of bird's nest are fully preserved.
Net swallow refers to the plucked bird's nest, which is most of the bird's nest sold in the market. A small number of consumers like Mao Yan, and are willing to take the time to choose fur, but there are fewer real light-colored bird's nests. Therefore, the picked bird's nest should be cleaned, plucked and air-dried to become clean and directly stewed bird's nest. What we need to distinguish here is Yanwu and Yanchang. Yanwu is the origin of bird's nest raw materials, and Yanchang is the place where Mao Yan is processed into Qingyan. The fact is that the output of a swallow house is limited. To reach the shipping scale, Swallow Factory needs to go to many Swallow Houses to buy raw materials. For example, as far as I know, Thailand organized a tender meeting for bird's nest wool some time ago. Must be to help Yannong sell Mao Yan to Yan factory or wholesaler at a reasonable price. Is this a little different from what everyone imagined? I don't deny that at the same time, a powerful enterprise, Yanwu, will extend its operation. I just want to make it clear that it is the extension, not Yanwu, that really determines the quality of the net swallow.
Now that we are talking about Jingyan, let's talk about the types of bird's nest sold in the market. There are many names of bird's nest on the market at present. In fact, most of them are the names given by the merchants themselves, or some traditional names in the industry. However, the traditional popular names of China Bird's Nest Circle, Indonesian Bird's Nest Circle and Malay Bird's Nest Circle are different and dazzling together. Therefore, everyone should look at the essence through the phenomenon and will not be fooled by various names.
Dry dressing and wet dressing. According to the shape after picking, it can be divided into swallow lamp, swallow strip, swallow horn and swallow piece. There are some subdivisions in each category.
How to dry and wet bird's nest?
In fact, it is determined by raw materials, and you can pick anything with less hair and good picking. Anything with a lot of hair can only be picked wet.
Dry picking: You can spray a little water on the surface, or you can pick your hair away without spraying water.
Wet picking: soak the whole bird's nest in water before picking hair.
Therefore, compared with wet picking, dry picking has better preserved the cup-shaped and cystic filaments, that is, the natural form of bird's nest, without soaking once.
Advantages of dry cleaning:
Because it is not soaked, it retains the natural cup shape, retains more nutrients and retains the natural taste and taste.
Disadvantages of dry cleaning:
Because there is no foaming, there will be more impurities left. The content of nitrite will be a little more, although it is still within the safe range. Interestingly, dry picking is often more expensive than wet picking. Many parents will feel that buying too many impurities will make them feel dirty. This is all determined by the process of picking hair. Speaking of price, there are still a few words to say. From the way of picking wool, dry picking is less than wet picking. Therefore, the price of dry picking is generally expensive raw materials, good nutrition and good shape. In contrast, the advantages and disadvantages of wet picking are obvious. Its advantages are cleanliness, less impurities and less nitrite content. The disadvantage is that compared with dry selection, the nutritional taste is slightly worse and it is not resistant to stewing. In fact, the difference in taste is obvious, but the difference in nutrition is small. It won't be useless to eat wet choices, and everyone can still choose according to the budget. Let's distinguish between dry pick and wet pick first. After all, I have seen merchants who sell dry elections.
Next: Zhan Yan, Yantiao, Yanjiao and Yanbian.
The bird's nest is a bird's nest, so we call it Zhan Yan. Among them, the live bird's nest on the plane is the best. You can call it a boat light. The characteristic of ship lights is that the two lights are opposite, and the bottom edges can be completely close together.
Because some are built on the plane, some are built in the corner. A swallow lamp built at a right angle forms a triangular lamp.
A swallow lamp built on an obtuse angle is called a round lamp. Basically, it looks bigger than a triangle and smaller than a boat light. The characteristic is that the two lamps are opposite, and the bottoms can't get together.
Some people call it Longyayan, and the Indonesian name is oval. In terms of size, if the ship lights are larger than rounded corners and larger than triangles, the prices will also decrease in turn. Generally, ship lights can be divided into large lights, medium lights and small lights. Because the price of bird's nest will be differentiated according to its size, sometimes people will see that the price of similar bird's nest is lower on the Internet, which may be the size difference besides other factors.
Next, Yan jumps.
A popular saying on the Internet is broken swallow lanterns. In fact, this statement is somewhat one-sided, and there will indeed be some broken Yan Yan. There are also a large number of directly made swallows. Bird's nest is a natural product, and it is impossible for every cup to have a neat and beautiful shape. Some cups are long and narrow, not high enough, irregular in shape, too small in shape, too concentrated in a certain position of the cup, or there are relatively large stains on the cup that can't be washed clean, and you accidentally picked them when picking your hair. There are also many raw materials, and the hair is too sparse after plucking, so that most of them will be sold in strips.
If it is possible to directly process Yan strips from raw materials, I think Yan jiao and broken Yan are basically scraps. It is also possible for the factory to deliver several kilograms of broken parts. It's just that it's still a little less than Yan Yan. So I suggest you choose appropriately. There are also Yan cakes, which are cakes made by crushing Yan.
There is too much knowledge in the bird's nest industry. So ask if you don't understand.
