Of course, the locals in central Yunnan who are hairy foot crabs give their hairy crabs a nickname. Saying that the hairy-footed crab is an introduced free-range hairy crab is that the locals themselves boast about it, putting gold on their faces, and by the way promoting the value and noble origin of the hairy-footed crab.

When Qi Jingtao was at the Jiangchuan Roadbed Tobacco Leaf Purchasing Station, his colleagues at the tobacco station also invited him to eat hairy crabs. The wine was almost drunk, and when I was chatting, I accidentally told the truth about the hairy crabs, which was actually a big mess that I couldn't show off.

Jiangchuan Xingyun Lake is next to Fuxian Lake, and the two huge plateau lakes are only separated by a hill and connected by a river. Xingyun Lake is different from Fuxian Lake, a deep-water lake, Xingyun Lake is more than 30 square kilometers, the water level is not deep or shallow, it is a natural fishing ground, but also a natural breeding fishing ground.

In the early 90s, it was suddenly popular to engage in cage farming in the lake. There are several large farmers who feel that the breeding of ordinary lake fish is not enjoyable, so they have joined forces and invested a lot of money to raise crabs. To be the first person to eat crabs, what kind of cage breeding Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs.

They underestimated the ferocity and destructive power of the hairy crab species, and the crab seedlings they spent a lot of money to attract were painstakingly raised in cages, and after careful breeding and management, they saw that they were growing bigger and bigger, and they were about to be successfully harvested. As a result, on a dark and windy night, the hairy crabs suddenly rioted, and those thugs used their own tools to tear up the fishing nets, escape the cages, and run collectively to the free Nebula Lake.

The net broke and the crabs escaped, and with such a large area of the lake, it was impossible for those big farmers to catch all the escaped hairy crabs. The futile farmers are miserable, and they can only consider themselves unlucky and sigh at the lake.

This batch of hairy crabs that are about to be harvested has escaped, and it is said that Xingxing Yunhu is still able to breed hairy crabs in cages. While summing up the lessons learned, the big farmers wiped away their blood and tears, raised funds, and prepared to build more reliable cages and start from scratch to continue their hairy crab farming business.

Unfortunately, the water quality of Xingyun Lake at this time is showing more and more obvious eutrophication characteristics, and there is a general trend of becoming the second Dianchi Lake. The Xingyun Lake Administration immediately took decisive measures and did not allow any more cage farming. Those large farmers who received breeding licenses from the Xingyun Lake Administration no longer had the opportunity to continue their breeding business, and they packed up their breeding cages and farms, and ended up with tears and gloom. They can't do it without cleaning up the site by themselves, and they can more or less recycle some of the materials and outputs by cleaning up by themselves. If you don't clean up as scheduled, the Xingyun Lake Administration will help clean up when the deadline arrives, hehe, everyone understands.

Xingyun Lake is really a feng shui treasure lake, the water level is not as deep as the Fuxian Lake next door, and there are original crab species growing and breeding in the lake in Xingyun Lake. It's just that the indigenous crab is too small, with more shells and less meat, and it doesn't have much economic value, and local fishermen are not interested in catching it.

After a large number of hairy crabs escaped from their cages and entered Xingyun Lake, they were pleasantly surprised to find that the environment here is very suitable for them to settle down, and it is a good place for ecological migrants. As a result, the hairy crabs settled here with peace of mind, grew and multiplied, and took root in Xingyun Lake.

It would have been a failed breeding accident. Unexpectedly, after the natural growth and breeding of hairy crabs, a crab species with very high economic value was added to Xingyun Lake.

Crabs like to live on the shore and also like to go ashore for a walk. It is not possible to engage in cage farming manually, they have become wild species in the lake, and manual fishing is still possible. In the past two years, hairy crabs have begun to be harvested in batches and put on the market. Locals do not call them hairy crabs, but figuratively call them hairy-legged crabs, distinguishing them from indigenous small crabs.

The fame of hairy crabs is too great, and after Xingyun Lake began to produce hairy crabs, it quickly became fashionable and fashionable to go to Xingyun Lake to eat hairy-footed crabs in the golden autumn season. In addition to the traditional boiled fish in the lake, eating hairy-legged crabs has now become a scenery by Xingyun Lake. Qi Jingtao caught up with the season of eating hairy crabs during the time he was running in Jiangchuan Running Tobacco Station this year, and he was fortunate to eat them many times, and the taste was very good. I don't know if it's authentic or not, he hasn't been to Yangcheng Lake to eat local authentic hairy crabs, and he has no right to speak if he doesn't compare.

There are both positive and negative sides to everything. In recent years, the water quality of Xingyun Lake has deteriorated dramatically. In just a few years, the water quality of Xingyun Lake has been classified from the second class water standard to the fourth class water standard, and it is making great strides towards the fifth class standard. Hairy crabs are now about to become the culprit of the scourge of Nebula Lake, and there are many experts who call for their extermination.

The reason given by the experts and professors is that alien species are very destructive to the original ecological environment. Someone has carefully observed and photographed the hairy-footed crabs, which have become wild species, waving their big pair of pincers to dig mud at the bottom of the lake and cut off aquatic weeds in their search for food. In the description of those experts and professors, the hairy-legged crabs in Xingyun Lake, like small bulldozers and lawn hoes, are wreaking havoc on the ecological environment at the bottom of the lake.

Qi Jingtao does not agree with this seemingly reasonable statement. The hairy-footed crab is wild, no one puts feed to feed it, and it is self-reliant and self-reliant, so it is said that people destroy the ecological environment?

Do you have the ability to treat the disgusting smell of urban sewage and industrial sewage that flows into Xingyun Lake and then discharge it into Xingyun Lake? It is really enough to put the responsibility for such a major ecological disaster on the hairy-legged crab. The water quality of Xingyun Lake has long been declining, and at that time, the hairy-footed crabs did not know where Xingyun Lake was!

Why didn't anyone talk about another alien species, the whitebait? That thing was really an invasion of species, and they invaded all these famous highland lakes like Caiyun. Whitebait eats a large amount of roe from the original fish, which has a fast growth and reproduction rate, a short life cycle, a high phosphorus content, and a difficult catch. Every year, a large number of naturally renewing and busy whitebait sink to the bottom of the lake, contributing very much to the eutrophication pollution of the lake.

It can only be said that it is better to come early than to come by coincidence, the hairy crabs have settled in Xingyun Lake for a few years, which happens to be a few years of rapid qualitative change in the water of Xingyun Lake, and the culprit is none other than her. Whoever made them look disgusting, waving those big pair of pincers to dig mud at the bottom of the lake, and cut off aquatic weeds, was also seen. I was caught taking a photo. The evidence is ironclad, and the hairy-footed crab can't do it if he doesn't want to carry the black pot.

Qi Jingtao was very sympathetic to the unlucky hairy-legged crabs and decided to help them spread the word about their original role as a delicacy. Whether it is called hairy crab or hairy foot crab, it is a good ingredient.

When you find something good, of course, you have to share it with your family, not to mention that it is the golden season to eat hairy crabs. If you don't eat it at this time, you won't have a chance to taste it if the hairy-footed crab is really ordered to be killed. The hairy-legged crab is too large, with high economic value and taste, and its living habits are relatively fixed. If you are really ordered to kill and let go of unlimited fishing, it is not so easy to escape the search of those fishermen, and you can really be driven and killed.

On Sunday, September 14, Qi Jingtao deliberately drove to Xingyun Lake by himself, and spent a lot of money to buy 100 or dozens of the fattest hairy crabs and raise them in a large glass cabinet. Moreover, it is according to the saying that Jiangnan people eat crabs - "the navel in September, the tip in October" to deal with the hairy-legged crabs from Jiangnan. Find a knowledgeable friend to help, pick a female crab to buy, and wait for today's Mid-Autumn Festival to eat steamed hairy foot crab.

Dealing with these hideous-looking things with fangs and claws, Su Min and Chen Huifen were afraid when they looked at it, and they were unwilling to try it. They waited for Qi Jingtao, who had eaten hairy-footed crabs and had also asked Qi Jingtao, who had learned how to use hairy crabs, to deal with them.

Xu Manli, who has gone home to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with her parents, is also afraid, but she wants to bring some back to her parents, relatives and friends to taste the delicious taste of hairy foot crabs. It was only sold back yesterday, and Xu Manli quietly asked Qi Jingtao for advice on how to cook hairy-legged crabs.

Listening to Su Min, Xu Manli didn't deal with the hairy-legged crab herself, but found two security guards on duty at the outlet to help her arrest it. Xu Manli was not greedy, she only took her share, more than two dozen of them, and tied them up in a big basket and took them away in the car.
