"In 2013, our company sold more than 300 million tea egg merchants in Henan Province," the manager of the tea egg department of Hubei Shendan Health Food Co., Ltd. told reporters. China's largest egg company used data to refute Taiwan's "tea egg professor", Henan people can afford tea eggs.

Ordinary tea eggs have suddenly become a hot "luxury" recently, and netizens have posted photos of themselves eating tea eggs. All this comes from a variety show on a TV station in Taiwan. In the program, a professor said when talking about tea eggs that the income of mainland people is very low and they can't afford tea eggs at all. Later, in a news program broadcast by Xiamen Satellite TV, the professor accepted a telephone interview to give examples of Henan people who can't afford tea eggs.

Data show that Henan can afford tea eggs

The official Weibo of Henan Daily posted on the 28th, "In 2013, Henan's GDP was on par with Taiwan's, and Zhengzhou's GDP per capita ($11000) was more than half of Taiwan's. Although Zhengzhou is still underdeveloped, there are almost no people who can't afford tea eggs".

The reporter learned that tea eggs are now the basic food for mainlanders to have breakfast every day. The prices of tea eggs on the mainland market range from 2 yuan to 1 yuan. Compared with today's living standards, 2 yuan of tea eggs are still affordable for a considerable number of people.

The reporter also interviewed the manager of the tea and egg department of Hubei Shendan Health Food Co., Ltd., China's largest egg company. The manager told the reporter that Shendan eggs ranked first in the sales of similar products in the national market in 2013. Tea eggs have always been the traditional best-selling products of Shendan Company, selling more than 300 million eggs in Shangchao, Henan Province in 2013. At present, there are dozens of large and small tea egg brands sold in Henan Province. Coupled with the student breakfast egg project of "one tea egg per day" and the breakfast homemade tea eggs that can be seen everywhere on the roadside, the annual consumption of tea eggs in Henan Province is estimated to be 100 million.

The Story Behind Chinese Famous Tea Eggs

Tea egg is a kind of egg processing product with a long tradition. It is a well-known snack widely spread in our country. Its origin can no longer be investigated, only the origin of folk allusions.

Legend has it that tea eggs are developed from boiled eggs from March 3 vegetables. Legend has it that in Chu, people because of the wind and rain, headache is very common. On the third day of March, Shen Nong passed by Yunmengze (now Xiaogan area in Hubei Province). Seeing that the villagers had a headache, he found wild eggs and vegetables and cooked them to appease people's hunger. When people eat, the head suddenly does not hurt. As a result, "eating ground vegetables (shepherd's purse) boiled eggs on March 3 will not hurt for a year" was handed down. Later, it was discovered that tea can also boil eggs, and the taste is fragrant and refreshing.

Nowadays, with the development of economy and the improvement of people's living standards, tea eggs are not only fragrant in the folk Lvli alley, but more hygienic and convenient vacuum-packed tea eggs appear in supermarkets and convenience stores. "People on the mainland cannot afford tea eggs" is just a misreading by a professor in Taiwan, and both sides of the strait still need to increase understanding.
