Many people say that more than 600 years ago, Zheng He discovered edible bird's nest in Nanyang in the Ming Dynasty and brought it back to China. In our cave with bird's nest in Malaysia, we found the tableware of the Tang Dynasty. Did the ancient people in China bring back the bird's nest of the Tang Dynasty? Bird's nest is a unique local product of Malay archipelago. As we all know, the first person who ate bird's nest in the origin of bird's nest was a civilian living in Malay archipelago, Shadorono.
The origin of eating bird's nest
According to insiders, in ancient times, there was a man named Shadorono in Central Java. One day, he saw many swallows flying to caves in the mountains by the sea. Curious, he climbed the cliff and looked into the cave. He saw many bird's nests inside. He took the bird's nest home and cooked it. It was delicious. After the news spread, many local people went to the cave to pick bird's nest. Gradually the bird's nest unfolded.
According to legend, China's famous navigator Zheng He's ocean-going fleet encountered a big storm at sea and was forced to anchor on a desert island in Malaysia. Due to the serious shortage of food, I accidentally found the bird's nest on the nitrate wall, so I ordered my subordinates to pick it, wash it and stew it with clear water to satisfy their hunger. Within a few days, the crew were all rosy and full of energy.
After returning home, Zheng He dedicated it to Ming Chengzu. Since then, bird's nest has become a rare tonic that China people can't give up, and Zheng He has also become the first person to eat bird's nest in China's historical records. Bird's nest has always been known as a rare medicine and an oriental treasure.
