However, the upgraded version of the broth is made with Changtinghe Frog Chicken in southern Fujian, one of the five famous chickens in the world, and the king of bacteria, the chicken fir, which tastes even better. It is delicious and has endless aftertaste, so it is called an upgraded version. By the way, chicken fir mushrooms are three mushrooms."
