Very good Sir!! I have very little bullion. I've been wanting to get back in for close to 40yrs. I have figured out I've done just as well with my other investments. But I like to diversify. It's been my long term goal to get back in. Wouldn't buy right now unless it was a really good deal. But then you have to worry about counterfeit. Back when I was buying, silver was $7 an once. Didn't have to worry about that then

They do:
A "100 year egg," more commonly known as a century egg (or thousand-year egg), is a preserved egg, typically duck, goose, or chicken eggs, that is transformed through a centuries-old Chinese process of soaking them in an alkaline mixture of clay, ash, salt, and lime for several weeks or months. This process results in a dark, gelatinous egg white and a creamy, grayish-green yolk with a rich, pungent, and slightly ammoniated flavor, often compared to ripe blue cheese. Century eggs are not cooked but are served as an appetizer, a topping for congee (rice porridge), or added to various dishes.
How Century Eggs Are Made

1. Alkaline Solution: Eggs are soaked in an alkaline solution containing chemicals like potassium bicarbonate, sodium carbonate, and calcium hydroxide. Other ingredients like sugar, gelatin, glycerin, and food coloring may also be included.
2. Incubation: After being placed in the solution, the eggs are left undisturbed at room temperature for about two months.
3. Chemical Reaction: The high alkalinity causes a chemical reaction that transforms the egg's protein and carbohydrate properties, resulting in the dark color and distinct texture and flavor.
