Qingzhang Zhidong
Light smoke and desert rain in Chuqing, chicken termites were born in the suburbs.
Picked a basket full of narrators and went home. Someone cooked a spoonful.
Zhao Yi, a great scholar in Qianlong period of Qing Dynasty, went to Yunnan with the army. After eating brown chicken, he was surprised. He wrote, "Gourmets are surprised. Which nationality is this chicken? " Boneless is skin, bloodless is meat, fresh in pheasant cream, and small birds covered in the stomach. "The name of the brown chicken.
Termitomyces is a fungus that coexists with termites in nature. Termites are also raising chickens while building nests. The mycelium of this fungus formed a common ecosystem, which was first found in the forests of southern provinces and cities such as China, Yunnan and Guizhou.
Chicken termites are thick and fat, with white filaments and fresh, sweet and crisp taste. It contains essential protein and fat, as well as various vitamins, calcium, phosphorus, nuclear xanthic acid and other substances. There are many ways to eat chicken fir, which can be used as a single product or with vegetables, fish and various delicacies. It can be fried, fried, pickled, fried, mixed, stewed, roasted, braised, steamed or made into soup, and its taste is very fresh, which is the highest among bacteria.
Big chicken fir: The single weight of big chicken fir is about 50 grams to 1000 grams, which is divided into three types: 1 and black hat chicken fir;
2. White-capped chicken;
3, yellow hat chicken;
Among them, the black-hat chicken fir has better quality, the highest price and the smallest output, and it is only produced in a few places; The quality of white-hat chicken fir is slightly inferior to that of black-hat chicken fir, and there are many producing areas, so the quantity is also large, and the price is similar to that of black-hat chicken fir; Yellow hat chicken fir is inferior in big chicken fir, so the price is correspondingly lower.
Torch chicken fir: Torch chicken fir is not as big as big chicken fir, and its individual weight is10g to10g. It is the smallest chicken fir, but its taste is the same as Dawu chicken fir and Dabai chicken fir.
The growth of termitomycetes has its own characteristics. If it grows in this place for one year without disturbing it, it will grow in its original place the next year. This is called "chicken?" Nest ",when out of the nest, is also very different.
Picking chicken fir is also a particular thing. First of all, don't tell anyone about the nest of termites. Secondly, we should seize the opportunity. When the umbrella cover at the top is not opened, the chicken fir is the most tender and plump. If unearthed, it will be covered with an umbrella, and the meat will soon be old. After picking the chicken fir, you need to apply some wet mud to the roots, so that you can "raise" it for a day or two, and then the bacteria will be as dry as wood.
"Chicken fir can be planted artificially now. In 2006, after several years of painstaking research by scientific and technical personnel, a rare edible fungus, Termitomyces nigricans, was cultivated. By the end of April, 20 12, the planting technology of Termitomyces nigricans was quite mature and planted on a large scale. Although its nutritional composition and value are far from those in the wild, it is also a great blessing to popularize it.
