Chapter 205: Hairy-Footed Crab

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 publicizing the value of the hairy-footed crab.

When Qi Jingtao was at the Jiangchuan Roadbed Tobacco 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.

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 a few 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 be the first person to eat crabs and engage in cage breeding of hairy crabs in Yangcheng Lake.

They underestimated the ferocity and destructive power of the hairy crab species. The crab seedlings attracted by spending a lot of money are painstakingly raised in cages, and after careful breeding and management, they are about to be successfully harvested as they grow bigger and bigger. As a result, on a dark and windy night, the hairy crabs rioted, tore the fishing nets to escape the cages, and collectively ran 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 the escaped hairy crabs. With no return, they can only consider themselves unlucky, looking at the lake and sighing.

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 to continue their farming business.

Unfortunately, the water quality of Xingyun Lake is showing more and more obvious eutrophication characteristics, and there is a general trend that it will soon become the second Dianchi Lake. The Xingyun Lake Administration immediately took decisive measures and did not allow cage farming anymore. Those large farmers who received their breeding licenses from the Xingyun Lake Administration never had the opportunity to continue their farming business, and ended up in tears.

Xingyun Lake is also 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. 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 they also like to go ashore to wander, artificial breeding is not good, artificial 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 to go to Xingyun Lake to eat hairy-legged crabs in the golden autumn season, and now it has also become a scenery by Xingyun Lake. Qi Jingtao caught up with the season of eating hairy crabs at Jiangchuan Running Tobacco Station this year, and he was fortunate to eat them many times.

There are both positive and negative sides to everything. In recent years, the water quality of Xingyun Lake has declined very much, and in just a few years, it has been classified from the second class water standard to the fourth class water standard, and is making great strides to 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 is that alien species have a very strong destructive power to the original ecological environment. It has been observed that the hairy-footed crabs, which have become wild species, wield their large pair of pincers to scrape mud at the bottom of the lake and cut aquatic weeds in the process of searching for food on their own. Like small bulldozers and lawn hoes, they 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 the lake and then discharge it into Xingyun Lake? It is really enough to put such a major ecological responsibility on the hairy-legged crab. People have only been settling down in Xingyun Lake for a few years, so why did they become the main culprit of the decline in the water quality of Xingyun Lake?

Why is it that no one is talking about another alien species, the silverfish? That thing is really an invasion, and these famous highland lakes like Caiyun have been invaded. 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. has been caught, the evidence is ironclad, and it is impossible not to carry the black cauldron.

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 wiped out. The hairy-legged crab is too big, with high economic value and taste, and it is not so easy to escape the capture of those fishermen.

On Sunday, September 14, Qi Jingtao deliberately drove to Xingyun Lake by himself, spent a lot of money to buy dozens of the fattest hairy crabs back, and raised 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.
