Egg-changing technology

1. Ingredients: 1 jin of lime, 3.5 taels of alkali, 3 qian of tea, 1.8 jin of water. The above ingredients can be used to make 60 eggs.

2. Ingredients process: First pour water into the pot, add tea leaves, alkaline noodles, and salt. After the water boils, cook for ten minutes, and then pour it into the pot or basin containing lime. After the lime melts, use a small stick to stir evenly into a dilute lime paste. Remove the lime residue and cool it down for later use.

3. Operation process: Put the fresh eggs into a pot or basin filled with lime paste. After the eggs are evenly coated with ashes, take them out and roll them with chaff or sawdust. Then put them into a jar and seal them with a lid. Generally speaking, it takes about 7 days in spring and autumn, and 4 days in summer. When the expiration date expires, samples should be taken for identification at any time. If the egg yolk and egg blue have solidified into one, it means that the eggs have become yellowish and should be taken out of the vat immediately to dry. If the egg yolk and egg blue are still thin, it means that it has not turned yet and needs to continue to turn for one to two days. If the egg yolk has solidified and the egg white is thin, it means that it was taken out of the vat late and has become soupy.

4. Cool and dry: After the eggs turn into eggs, they should be taken out of the tank and cooled immediately. There are two methods: one is to dry and the other is to dry. If the eggs become tender, it is best to use the method of ventilating and drying (out of the sun). In this way, the lime mud on the surface dries slowly and can continue to work, making the eggs suitable. If the eggs have become suitable in the tank, use sun drying (cannot be exposed to the sun in summer) to quickly dry the lime mud on the surface. However, sun-dried ones don’t last as long as cool-dried ones.
