For a long time, caviar has been coveted by Western gourmets as a top ingredient.
In many films, characters are depicted eating caviar lavishly to showcase their wealth.
The most famous line comes from Andy Lau in a movie: "Just this little bit isn't enough. If foreigners see it, they'll think we can't afford it. Let's have everyone get a can!"
The core reason why caviar is so sought after is that sturgeons producing caviar have long been unable to be farmed on a large scale.
Wild sturgeons are only found in Iran and Russia. And as caviar became esteemed by European gourmets, the wild sturgeon populations in these areas decreased significantly, further raising the rarity of caviar.
Then, Huaxia stepped in and directly solved the sturgeon farming problem.
By 2014, Huaxia's caviar production suddenly soared to 70% of the world's total, turning caviar into a cabbage-price item.
