Chapter 385: Looking for the Most Beautiful Hairy Crab
Autumn and October are crab seasons.
Thinking back to last year, it seems that I really haven't tasted it in the place of origin?
Suzhou, Xiangcheng Town, this is really an authentic old street without any development. On the old street of bluestone slabs, Suzhou has always been famous for its many ancient towns, most of which are popular and commercial, always full of tourists, and can no longer find that quiet temperament.
It's primitive, and it's beautiful. The people here are very simple and hospitable, and the days of people are very slow. Day after day, the taste of the past is brought to the extreme. The barbershops on the streets are full of memories and still receive customers, and the old tools are wrapped in layers and placed in drawers.
Cooking on the coal stove that rose in front of the shop. There is also a master who repairs locks and a grandmother who eats alone. The big Old Street Hotel sign on the telephone pole. I don't know how many travelers will be here, and how many will choose to live here.
The narrow road was empty, and a moped leaned silently on the side of the road. The road is surrounded by old houses, mottled walls and exposed red bricks.
In the old house, the former window, the former basket. The house through the window is still full of the smell of time. This is a cotton shop, and the store is a middle-aged couple.
In today's fast-paced life, most people like what kind of duvet and what alpaca quilt. But I still prefer quilts made of cotton, and I put it on my body to smell like sunshine and earth.
The former barbershop is still an old thing from many years ago. There are briquettes, benches, and barbers who watch people walk by the door in their spare time. Such a scene inexplicably brings people into the past.
The owner, a man of some age, dug through a drawer and pulled out old belongings. Holding it in your hand, it is as if you have picked up the whole year.
I don't know what to call this thing, it's just heavy, and it seems to tell a story from the past.
Jiangnan is really this kind of small arch bridge, one by one, sit on the boat, warm a pot of wine, look at the scenery on both sides of the strait, cross one bridge after another, how wonderful such a day.
Coming to Yangcheng Lake, the hairy crab production area, Jincheng crab, is raised by Yu Sannan, the local crab breeder, and the quality is particularly good.
There are about 80,000 crabs in a crab pond, and the big crabs can be sold for 80 yuan a piece.
Now it is the right time to eat female crabs, the yellow meat is thick, very fresh, the meat is delicate, and there is a unique sweet and silky taste. Any one has to be three or four taels, and you don't want to eat it if it's cool.
Not far away is a survey boat in the lake, where crab farming will be held for a long time, so that the growth of crabs can be monitored in real time, and secondly, to prevent people from stealing crabs in the middle of the night.
The wooden poles erected on the surface of the lake, the nets pulled up, and the ponds used to distinguish the contracted ones also prevent crabs from climbing out.
The boss dragged the crabs in the crab cage hard, full of a large cage, all kinds of teeth and claws, the water quality of Yangcheng Lake is clear, the water is not so deep, and the silt at the bottom of the lake is very hard, which is very suitable for crab claw exercise, so that the crab is full of meat.
In fact, bathing crabs and study crabs are not Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs, in fact, they grew up elsewhere, and they sold the crabs that came to Yangcheng Lake to take a bath before.
There are also 6 hairy crabs in Yangcheng Lake for 99 yuan on a certain treasure, and you don't have to think about it to know what kind of goods it is. The annual output of hairy crabs is 1,600 tons, and according to the national demand, it will be sold out in two days.
Many people think that Yangcheng Lake hairy crab is a brand, in fact, it refers to the crab raised in Yangcheng Lake, just like the cold weather, to buy a pair of UGG, in fact, we are not buying UGG brand snow boots, but in our thinking, UGG is equal to all snow boots.
Eating hairy crabs is also the same reason, they all like to say that they eat Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs, which are really called Yangcheng Lake brand hairy crab brands, there is only one, and the others are all hairy crabs that grow in Yangcheng Lake.
The reason why I came to this breeding factory that dares to call Yangcheng Lake brand hairy crabs is so domineering is because it is one of the few hairy crabs that has been certified organically, which can represent the highest quality of hairy crabs in the entire Yangcheng Lake.
In the white house, I saw a big screen, which was a monitoring screen, which was used to detect the pH value, dissolved oxygen degree, water temperature and other data of the water in the canal. Johnson was stunned, isn't he breeding in Yangcheng Lake? What the hell is the canal?
It turned out to be the organic matter produced by the decomposition of the residual bait, plankton metabolites and hairy crab excrement in the aquaculture water, which made the organic matter content in the water too high, often caused the deterioration of water quality, and the dissolved oxygen content in the water was low, resulting in the slow growth of hairy crabs and even death, resulting in further pollution of water quality.
In order to ensure that the drinking water source is not polluted and protect the water body, the breeding area of the lake area will be reduced by half this year, so the crab production this year has been reduced to about 1,600 tons, and some farmers have put the breeding land outside the lake, but the water of Yangcheng Lake is introduced, and there is a special sewage treatment area in the farm, which not only ensures that the water quality of Yangcheng Lake will not be destroyed, but also the quality of the crabs is better.
Finally, steam the crab in the pot for 20 minutes, then simmer for 10 minutes before eating, forming a semi-solid male crab crab paste like mousse, and the female crab roe that is not completely as hard as a salted duck egg this season. I heard that if you come a few days later, the female crab is really not as delicious as salted duck eggs.
It's sweet and fresh, and you feel a sense of happiness when you take a bite.
Leave here and drive straight to Wuxi. It is said that the quality of Hairy Crabs in Taihu Lake is the same as that of Yangcheng Lake, and I have heard many people in Modu say that the possibility of buying fakes for hairy crabs in Yangcheng Lake is too great, and most people in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai choose Hairy Crabs in Taihu Lake, so go to Taihu Lake to find out.
As the third largest freshwater lake, the lake area is much larger than Yangcheng Lake, and there are boathouses on the lake, where tourists can not only go on the boat to fish, but also eat fresh fish, shrimp and crabs that have just been caught on the boat.
The boss salvaged a few giant river prawns, which are Malaysian prawns, which are so big that one can be eaten, and although the meat is thick but not delicious.
The hairy crab shell here is very hard and shiny, and the meat is firm and sweet, which is not much different from Yangcheng Lake, and of course, the price is also the same as Yangcheng Lake.
Find Sister Biandan, her home is the largest breeding base in Gaoyou Lake Wang Xianji, also known as the lakeside aquatic cooperative, located in Lingtang Hui Township, the only minority township, the lake breeding area of 3,000 acres, than the Yangcheng Lake brand group company in Yangcheng Lake breeding land.
I have to say that she and her husband should have seen Johnson, the most attentive person to raise crabs, most of the crab seedlings of other people's families are bought back from Chongming Island, and her crab seedlings are specially cultivated by themselves in Qidong Digging Port, which is an authentic Gaoyou Lake hairy crab!
