Phoenix eggs occupy a certain place in the minds of Lanxi people. It is said that phoenix eggs are nutritious and can also be used as a folk remedy to treat headaches. Therefore, there are many people who like to eat them

It is said that, The folk custom of eating phoenix eggs in Jinhua and Lanxi is related to Emperor Qianlong. Emperor Qianlong went down to the south of the Yangtze River and got separated from his entourage in the Jinhua and Lanxi areas. He was hungry and tired while walking alone, so he stopped at a farmhouse by the road to beg for something to satisfy his hunger. The peasant woman's family was so poor that she had nothing else, so she took out a few eggs that were hatching in the chicken coop and cooked them for him to eat. Unexpectedly, Qianlong found it more and more delicious the more he ate, and named it "Phoenix Egg".

On the food street, the freshly cooked phoenix egg was fragrant and immediately attracted many customers. The owner of Phoenix Eggs is Zheng Jianhua. He is 31 years old. He used to sell braised food. Every spring when Phoenix eggs are put on the market in large quantities, he also sells Phoenix eggs. Because of his skill in making braised meat, the phoenix eggs he cooked were particularly delicious, and his business was booming.
