In the countryside, why do people specialize in high prices to buy more than five years old hen, what is the use?

In the Chinese tradition of eating chicken but also have a university question, eating chicken also depends on the gender, rooster and hen in the selection of a completely different standard. In our country folk usually think that eating rooster to eat child chicken, eat hen will have to find the old hen. It explains why some people in the countryside specialize in charging high prices for old hens of more than five years.

Folk believe that the old hen big tonic.

The reason for this situation is that in the traditional Chinese concept, the older the hen, the more nourishing. The old hen is not the same as the young rooster, we will buy the young rooster will do white cut chicken, dipped in soy sauce taste great will also be roasted spicy chicken pieces, will also do Kung Pao chicken, the choice is very diverse. But the use of old hen seems to be very uniform, that is, simmering soup, simmering soup, simmering soup. So in the folk old hen has such a high status is considered to have a high nutritional value, mainly in the Chinese medicine point of view, the old hen has been respected by generations of traditional Chinese medicine as nourishing yin and yang of the best, it is step by step by the traditional Chinese medicine practitioners on the altar, according to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine found that the old hen stew is more suitable for maternal as well as old and frail or long illness physique to nourish the body. So in folklore there is a hen to help women sit on the saying, and because of the old hen stew soup flavor is particularly delicious, but also to make these groups of people for a revitalization of the appetite, eat more.

2. The buyers have figured out the farmers' psychology

Just as there is an optimal age for human beings to give birth to a child, there is also a similar time period for hens. The general farmer's home free-range chicken, to five years later, basically not much eggs, it should be said that has been the best reproductive age, this time to go to the ground for the farmer's family hen will not have a great contribution, waiting for his fate is only to boil the soup to make up for the body, it! Of course, for farmers, this old hen who eat is not eat it? At this time, if there is a person who is willing to buy, this has not too much residual value, in the eyes of the farmers and a plate of meat is almost the same as the hen, you say those farmers will be willing to sell it? It can be said that these people in the countryside to buy old hens at high prices, completely grasp the psychology of the farmers, so they will buy the object of choice with more than five years of old hens, usually they buy such old hens at a high price and then sold to the city, in the city there should be a lot of to the month daughter-in-law or need to nourish the body of family members of the purchase of the elderly mother of the people, where these high-priced old hens are simply In the city, there should be many people who buy old mothers for their monthly daughters-in-law or family members who need my health. Therefore, these people who buy old hens at high prices will not lose money, and they will even make a lot of money. Of course, for those who sell the old hen they also do not lose, after all, this old hen in addition to soup stew is not too much use. Plus with so many chickens in the house, when you need to replenish your body, you can always take care of it.

I think these two reasons are the answer to why there are people in the countryside who specialize in buying old hens of more than five years at high prices.
