A good tonic "stewed Guanyan with rock sugar"

Introduction:

"The swallow that can build a nest to make a bird's nest for human consumption is called" Golden Swallow ". Because the belly feathers of the swallow are golden yellow, the swallow is also named after it. When the Golden Swallow first built its nest, it was completely formed by a large amount of mucus secreted from its throat, which was gradually condensed after spitting out. The texture of its bird's nest is pure, and there is no hair attached to it. This kind of bird's nest is of the best quality and is also the top grade in the bird's nest. It is said that when offering bird's nests to emperors and government officials in ancient times, they would select clean, complete and high-quality white bird's nests, which were called "official swallow". "Guanyan" means top tribute, which is also the name of Guanyan. Guanyan is only a kind of bird's nest. It generally refers to the bird's nest with good quality and complete calyx shape. It belongs to a clean and transparent white bird's nest. Guanyan has always been the best of many bird's nests. In addition, the bird's nest is also divided into several categories, such as blood swallow and hairy swallow. According to the quality, it is also divided into several grades. Among them, the blood swallow is also an excellent variety. The bird's nest color of this variety is dark red. Many people say that it is the blood of swallows. In fact, this is wrong. The color of blood swallow is the red rock in the cave, which contains natural minerals and is naturally colored by wet infiltration. This kind of bird's nest contains a lot of minerals and trace elements, which are also some unique natural substances in tropical and subtropical island caves. Eating blood swallow will be of great benefit to people who lack minerals and trace elements. The feather swallow, that is, the bird's nest with more feather, belongs to a poor variety, and its formation is caused by human beings. Usually, the Golden Swallow is the best nest when it makes the first nest. After the nest is built, it will be picked when the swallow has not laid eggs, and the swallow will start to build the nest again. At this time, there are some scattered feathers on the nest. After the bird's nest was picked for the second time, in order to lay eggs, swallows began to build a nest for the third time, and quickly built it with their own saliva and feathers. At this time, the bird's nest belongs to the Maoyan's nest, which is also the worst quality bird's nest. It is commonly known as "Maoyan" in pharmacies. For example, the third time the bird's nest was taken away by people, the Swallows had no choice but to lay their eggs on the cliff without nest, and the eggs laid in the crevices of the cliff were difficult to hatch. At this time, the swallows were the most pitiful! At present, the government has banned the third picking of bird's nests in the islands in southern Thailand and Indonesia, otherwise, it is illegal to pick bird's nests. Bird's nest has the functions of Tonifying the lung and nourishing Yin, relieving cough and reducing lung lesions, including asthma, shortness of breath, long cough, blood in sputum, hemoptysis, bronchitis, sweating, low tide heat and other diseases caused by lung yin deficiency. Bird's nest can also tonify deficiency and prevent stomach cold. Nausea, retching and bowel sounds caused by stomach cold can be inhibited. Bird's nest is the best tonic for the patients who have recovered from a long illness. It can nourish yin, promote Yang, recuperate and recover vitality as soon as possible. Bird's nest is also an excellent health care product for beauty. Regular consumption can make people's skin smooth, elastic and glossy, and reduce the generation of wrinkles. Its main function is to regulate human endocrine, so as to delay the aging of human physiological function. Bird's nest contains high-quality amino acids with specific functions, which are different from other foods. It has inhibitory and countervailing effects on various cancers. The main components of Guanyan are: water soluble protein, carbohydrate, which contain trace elements: calcium, phosphorus, iron, sodium, potassium and the important component of human body "neuraminic acid", also known as "bird's nest acid". Bird's nest acid can promote the information transmission speed of brain nerve cells. Breast milk also contains substances similar to bird's nest acid, so breast milk can provide immunity for early growth of infants. Because bird's nest acid will not be degraded by digestive tract enzymes when passing through the digestive system, it can enter the intestinal tract through the digestive tract to prevent intestinal pathogenic bacteria and the adsorption of viruses and cells, and also plays an important role in resisting a variety of bacteria. The above simple about the origin of the official swallow and bird's nest, as well as the medicinal and health value, next talk about how to choose bird's nest. The high-quality bird's nests on the market are more than 100 yuan, 1 gram, and the price is not cheap, but most of them are made by secondary processing, which looks neat and beautiful. In fact, the proportion of counterfeit ingredients is very high. True bird's nests vary in size and thickness, but they need to be complete. Color is the most pure light gray color, and neat, snow-white or very transparent bird's nest are generally processed by hand. Generally, the size of bird's nest is about 6-10 cm, which is slightly curved and cup-shaped. The nest in the middle is very shallow. The shape sold in the market is more beautiful, and the nest shape is neat and deep. All of them are processed. In fact, the golden swallow does not need to shelter from the wind and rain to build its nest in the cave. The cave is its best habitat. No matter it is windy or rainstorm, its living environment will not be damaged. The swallow is very small. It can lay eggs and hatch only in a narrow nest with a very shallow depression on a plane and can hold its own weight. If you buy a beautiful nest, each bird has a nest about 10 cm in the middle Beautiful deep nest. This kind of bird's nest is 100% fake. It may contain only a small amount of bird's nest ingredients, but most of them are made of fish glue. The real bird's nest varies in size, shape and depth. Although it is not beautiful, it is absolutely true. In addition, the real bird's nest is more resistant to boiling, even if you stew for an hour, there will still be solid glutinous bird's nest inside, which can taste the taste of bird's nest with thick juice. It takes several hours to make the bird's nest hair. Generally, it takes two to three hours to soak it in warm water, and then use pointed tweezers to remove the feathers of the swallow. Even a good bird's nest will have a few tiny hairs on it. The swallow is a bird, and it is impossible not to lose its hair. A good official swallow will also have a few tiny scattered hairs. Although it is difficult to find them with bad eyes, they can still be seen under strong light . If the bird's nest is too clean, it must be made up of fake ingredients, or it is a semi artificial and semi natural bird's nest made of scattered bird's nest bleached and then bonded with fish glue. Generally, a good bird's nest has a yield of 10 to 15 times the weight of the original bird's nest, or even 20 times as much. However, a good bird's nest will not break up, otherwise it is a fake bird's nest. In the past, in the era of cheap bird's nests, dishes such as white braised bird's nest or Phoenix's nest were often seen in banquet dishes. Bird's nest was the main raw material. Even such dishes only cost 4-7 yuan. In the past, they used to use 16 Liang, which weighed one or two yuan, while 16 Liang was a kilo It weighs more than ten grams. Usually, each bird's nest has a hard root, which is the initial part of the bird's nest that connects to the stone wall, accounting for 20 or 30% of the total area of the bird's nest. In the past, this small part had to be cut off, but now people usually smash it and make it into bird's nest balls or health care products, such as rock sugar bird's nest. A small box costs you hundreds of yuan. As for the efficacy, it's very important To see their own feelings, the heart feels that there is it, otherwise there is no, to put it bluntly is a small bottle of sugar water, ha ha! It can't be said that there is no bird's nest in this kind of health care products. In fact, there are only a few, even a very small part that can't be seen. What we use is the poor byproduct of bird's nest. The garbage in the past and the health care products in the present are rare. That's the truth. Ha ha! When making bird's nest, you can use a little alkali to make bird's nest. There are many kinds of bird's nest that can grow up to 15-20 times of dry bird's nest. That is to say, 10 grams of bird's nest can grow up to more than 150 grams. However, its nutrients will be destroyed. It is generally not recommended to use alkali. When making bird's nest, you only need to soak it repeatedly in warm water below 40 degrees, and then blanch it twice in boiling water. Bird's nest has no flavor, which is determined by the flavor of condiments. For example, when making clear soup bird's nest, you need to use good chicken soup, and boil the soup long enough. Finally, you need to use physical methods to clear the dregs and impurities of the cooked soup to make the soup clear. When making rock candy bird's nest, you must use natural pure water. In my opinion, you can use Nongfu mountain spring. Some of my bird's nests were bought from the origin of the southern island of Thailand a long time ago, where they were very cheap at that time. It only cost hundreds of dollars to buy good bird's nests from the pickers. At that time, the government didn't restrict the picking. I went to the island by fishing boat with my friends and witnessed the wonderful scene of the pickers climbing the cliffs. There are many bird's nests in the cave of that island. It can be said that the rock walls are full of large and small bird's nests. Groups of swallows fly around in the cave, which is exciting and spectacular. But carefully look at the swallows are in pairs, each pair of swallows build nests are not far away, that kind of scene is unforgettable! The picker is like a monkey hanging in the air or sticking to the rock wall to pick. It is said that the scenery is no longer there. In order to protect the breeding season of swiftlets, the government only allows them to pick for a short time every year. Once the period is over, the island will be closed. A few days ago, I saw that the bird's nest sold in Tongrentang drugstore in Beijing costs hundreds of yuan per gram. It's tens of thousands of yuan or even 100000 yuan per kilogram. It's really the most precious top tonic in the world. It's amazing! Today, I use my stock to make a top tonic in the world. The traditional court name is "rock sugar stewed Guanyan". It is said that this is a bowl of tonic that Empress Dowager Cixi must drink every day in her later years. The method is also very simple. The key is that the main raw materials used are very expensive. In addition, it needs to be made properly. The method is as follows
