South China Sea Myth

Dr. Myth said: "The Hainan Provincial Federation of Social Sciences organized the compilation of "The Story of Hainan Cuisine", and I participated in the compilation, and I took Wuzhishan Ant Chicken as one of the contents. "

Dr. Mythology, A Bin, A Lang, Li Ping, Huang Mei, and Yang Yang came to Wuzhishan City, where Comrade Li from the Propaganda and Education Department of the Wuzhishan Municipal Committee of the China Democratic National Construction Association received them and took them to the Wuzhishan Ant and Chicken Cooperative. Wuzhishan City, located in the hinterland of the south-central part of Hainan Island, is surrounded by mountains, dense forests, and beautiful mountains and rivers, giving people the impression of spring all year round.

Huang Mei couldn't help but shout: "This mountain city is so beautiful." Li Ping's tour guide said: "Wuzhishan City is the highest mountain city on Hainan Island, and it is also the settlement of Li and Miao ethnic minorities in the central part of Hainan Province. Due to the unique geographical environment and climatic conditions, the Wuzhishan area has a wide variety of organisms, constituting a peculiar natural landscape of tropical plants, and the ant chickens of Wuzhishan are raised in such an environment. "

When dining at a restaurant in the afternoon, Li Ping advocated a taste of Wuzhishan ant chicken, she said: "When I traveled with a tour group, the dishes I ate included ant chicken, and some tourists asked, what is ant chicken, is it chicken fried with ants? "

Dr. Myth said: "When I first arrived at Wuzhi Mountain to eat ant chicken, I also made a joke, thinking that ant chicken was ant fried chicken. One day in May 2008, Mr. Zhan Qin, the chairman of Haikou City, China Democratic Construction Association, and Mr. Zhan Qin, the secretary of the Provincial Democratic Construction Association, took me and Mr. Chen of the Haijing Institute to Wuzhishan City to conduct research on vocational education in the breeding industry in Hainan minority areas. I asked, 'Is the ant chicken fried with ants?' Director Chen laughed at the time and explained: "Ant chicken is a small breed of chicken stocked by the people of Li and Miao, and the ant chicken usually eats ants, earthworms, insects and wild vegetables to grow up, and the chicken body is small and tender, often about two catties, and it is compared to a chicken as small as an ant by the people of Li and Miao, called an ant chicken." Because ant chickens are used to resting on trees at night, they are also known as chickens that go to trees. ’"

Before everyone ate, Yang Yang pointed to a big tree next to the restaurant and asked, "Tour guide Li Ping, how many birds are there in this tree, what kind of bird?" Li Ping smiled: "This is not a bird, it is an ant chicken." You see, there are ants and chickens eating ants and earthworms on this ground. Huang Mei, who was traveling with her, quietly approached them, wanting to take a few photos with her mobile phone, her high heels made a noise, and she looked like she was not taking pictures, but like she was about to catch ants and chickens. The alert ant chickens immediately took evasive action, and one by one they flew into the air, directly onto the branches, and constantly flapped their wings and made protest cries. We couldn't help laughing, and Huang Mei said with an embarrassed expression: "It's really strange, ants and chickens will go up trees." Li Ping's tour guide said that Wuzhishan ant chickens, living in a wild state, have super vigilance, once found to be in danger, remind each other, and the chickens fled together.

Huang Mei asked why ant chickens like to eat ants, earthworms, and wild vegetables. Director Chen said that this is because the ants are strongly omnivorous. It lives in an ecological and natural disease-free area all year round, and mainly feeds on ants, earthworms and various insects in the mountains and forests. Ant chickens also like to eat wild vegetables and drink the water of mountain streams. Dr. Myth said with emotion: "This ant chicken eats ecological food and drinks ecological spring water, no wonder the meat of the ant chicken is delicious." "

Yang Yang asked again: "Tour guide Li Ping, these ants and chickens seem to like to live in groups." At this time, the nut hunter spoke, and he said: "Yes, the ants of Wuzhishan are very social and often form groups in large groups, which is very common. Ant chickens like to live in groups, perched on tall branches at night, not afraid of wind and rain, but chirp and become particularly active. "

Li Ping's tour guide arranged for the Fu technician of the ant chicken breeding cooperative to meet, and the Fu technician said that Wuzhishan City, a gathering place for ethnic minorities in Hainan Province, not only has a unique natural geographical environment, but also has a unique food culture, and one of the most representative of the food culture characteristics of Hainan ethnic minorities is Wuzhishan Ant Chicken, and the local has been circulating that "do not eat ant chickens, do not know Wuzhishan". The mission of the Ant Chicken Breeding Cooperative is to serve rural revitalization, provide high-quality chicken breeds to Li Miao minority farmers, guide farmers to breed ant chickens, and be responsible for purchasing ant chickens raised by farmers.

Li hunter A Lang said, ant chicken very early, this is a kind of small breeder raised in the wild by the local Li nationality, Miao nationality and other ethnic minorities in the natural environment for a long time, Wuzhishan ant chicken mostly to ants, wild insects, wild vegetables and other food for food, because it grows in the green, suitable, natural ecological environment, ant chicken is different from ordinary feed fed chickens, mostly lean meat, hard bones, soft meat and meat similar to birds, with a fragrant and sweet taste.

When everyone was eating in the restaurant, Huang Mei pointed to a plate of dishes and asked, "What kind of dish is this fried ant chicken?" Lao Ye is a kind of wild vegetable in Wuzhi Mountain, is a climbing vine of the family Pepperaceae, the flower color is green, the fruit is dense into mulberry, it has the effect of dissipating cold in temperature, reducing swelling and relieving pain. With the ant chicken with thin skin and tender meat, it has a great flavor and has a therapeutic effect. The raw materials for making ant chicken are: ant chicken, potatoes, green peppers, green onions, garlic, red peppers, salt, pepper, cooking oil, soy sauce, etc. "

Li Ping's tour guide said that Wuzhishan City is the town settlement of Li and Miao ethnic minorities in Hainan, with natural scenery and unique natural scenery, and the delicacies of Shanlan wine, Shanlan fragrant rice, Lijia bamboo rice, ant chicken, etc., leave a deep impression on people. Ant chicken is firm and fragrant in the mouth, making people never get tired of eating, and for people who eat too much feed chicken, ant chicken is definitely an excellent delicacy.

Fu technician said that Wuzhishan ant chicken grows in the tropical rainforest climate and ecological environment of the disease-free mountainous area all year round, and is officially certified by Hainan Province as a special chicken breed, and has been strictly tested by authoritative institutions, without any antibiotics, hormones and drug residues, and is one of the few organic and healthy meat in the domestic market. Although the five-fingered mountain ant chicken is small, the coat color is very shiny, and its skin is thin and the meat is tender, the taste is very delicious, the bones are also very crispy, and it is very delicious, so it is very popular with local people and tourists.

They visited the cooperative's chicken farm, visited the ant chickens raised by Li Miao farmers, and watched the ant chickens all over the mountains. Ah Bing sang the Li folk songs with the Li women in the Wuzhi Mountain, the folk songs floated in the wind, beautiful and beautiful, and the mythical doctors were in a stirring mood. Huang Mei sighed: "I feel so beautiful, groups of lively and lovely, innocent and romantic ant chickens, happy chirps, resounding together, playing the movement of the vigorous development of ecological breeding in the minority areas of Wuzhishan."
