A woman in mainland China recently shared a photo of “boiled eggs that have been stored for 20 years”. The appearance is dark red, and the texture is like a Q-bomb like a preserved egg. Many netizens saw it and said, “Eggs turn into rubies!”
According to Lu media reports, a woman surnamed Fu in Jinan City, Shandong Province recently posted a photo of a boiled egg that had been stored for 20 years on a social platform, and said that the egg was about 2003, when she was in elementary school. I bought it when I was in the 6th grade. On the same day, she went shopping with her mother in a supermarket near her home and chose a “little egg”. She thought it was cute and asked her mother to buy it. The next day, her mother cooked the little egg and asked her to take it home. When she went to school to eat, she didn’t expect that after 2 or 3 days, she remembered that the eggs were still in her schoolbag.
Fu Nv revealed that she dared not eat it now and was reluctant to throw it away, so she put the egg in the refrigerator and kept it until her mother discovered it two months later, but the appearance of the small egg became smaller again, as big as a pistachio, and The texture and color have also changed. “Its texture is a bit like that kind of plastic beads. The normal color is close to the color of preserved eggs, but when placed on the lamp, it is a little red like blood.” Seeing how special the little eggs are, Fu Nu will It was stored in a ring box, and until recently she took out the egg to watch it, but it was not spoiled, and excitedly shared this “fossil” with netizens.
After the photo was exposed, a large number of netizens commented, “It’s really beautiful”, “Pharaoh in the egg world”, “Time turns eggs into rubies”, “Won’t eggs go bad after so many years?”, “I once put I forgot to put a boiled egg in my schoolbag, and as a result, the whole dormitory stinks to death after a long time, with maggots growing inside.” In this regard, Deng Xuejian, a professor at the School of Life Sciences of Hunan Normal University, explained that this type of egg is actually an unfertilized egg laid by a hen, usually with only white and no yolk, and is also called a small egg, pigeon egg or ghost egg. The dark red color is yet to be further analyzed.
