For Zhu reporters of the provincial newspaper, they became famous at a young age and worked smoothly, and today's daily newspapers are equivalent to uncrowned kings; although they have no administrative status, they even have to look at the main leaders differently when they go out, especially when they go down to counties and cities.

Without him, the pen in the reporter's hand is powerful, which makes everyone taboo. However, reporter Zhu, who has always been smooth, has been a little annoyed recently, and even his colleagues have noticed it, and joked, "Xiao Zhu, is it just an interview, I am really not sure, so I told the director to change someone!"

Miss Zhu has never been so old and has never been so squeezed, and when she heard this, she snorted and said, "Where is the problem of interviews? We must pay attention to seeking truth from facts when doing news, and we must erect examples based on other people's words, and I am not a god, where did I make it up!"

It turned out that the leaders above did not know where to get the news, and there was an advanced deed in a remote mountainous area in the northwest of the province that they wanted to tout, and handed it over to Reporter Zhu to operate. She hurriedly glanced at it, it was nothing more than "learn from Lei Feng to do good deeds", "join the party activists" and other clichés, except for the different place names, Secretary Zhu could make up dozens of "advanced deeds" with his eyes closed.

This is the most disgusting thing for young and honest journalists, so they are not interested at all. But this is the task assigned by the above, and the director is asking how it is going just now, and the reporter Zhu is very angry, and he will inevitably anger others.

"I said, seek truth from facts, you can't write a good manuscript without going to the on-site interview, let's not complain at home, it's serious to go down early. Photojournalist Lao Yang is an experienced veteran comrade who gives pertinent advice.

This is also what reporter Zhu is most annoyed about. It is said that it is in the province, but that county is located in the most remote northwest mountainous area, and in the past, it would take half a day to drive, and it was necessary to cross the river and enter the mountains, and the traffic conditions were poor, and it was a notoriously remote area. She has always run closer to the place, as a young and famous name, the leader has always taken care of it, and it is a headache to go to the place where the bird does not.

A headache is a headache, and you can't escape if you should go. While packing up as much as possible to go there, reporter Zhu also had to plan in his mind how to get rid of the interviewee and how to come up with a "typical example." Is it enough to think about it? The sky is high and the emperor is far away, and it is impossible for the company to have a special car for them, so it is better to go to the lower-level city first, and the city propaganda committee will send a small car, and then cross the river and come to Baiyun County the next day.

If it weren't for this incident, Reporter Zhu would never have heard of such an obscure county in this province, and even the old comrade Master Yang had only vaguely heard of it, and had never been there, so you can imagine the remoteness of this place. But the strange thing is that the driver who arranged it was very happy when he heard that he was going there, and they only knew that the small county town was the birthplace of crayfish that has been popular in recent years.

Is that the case? Reporter Zhu felt a little interesting. She has a good family background, and she is also one of the people who have eaten lobster and seen the world. However, I don't know when the fresh species of "crayfish" was put on the dinner table in a grand manner, and even in a short period of time, it was welcomed by people and became popular because of its rich taste and low price.

As a foodie, reporter Zhu is of course a big lover of crayfish. Whether it is "thirteen spiced crayfish", or "spicy crayfish", as well as unpopular "steamed", "boiled" and other flavors, they are her favorites. But as a fresh food, it can't be elegantly eaten yet, everyone likes to eat it, but few people care where it comes from.

It is said that this crayfish was originally an invasive alien species, and it was somewhat flooded in the local area, and the farmers of those years were also very poor, and they did not know how to treat this crayfish as a dish, and the main purpose was to "eliminate pests." Slowly, many flavors and ways to eat were invented.

This is simply a very good news material! Reporter Zhu and Lao Yang looked at each other for a moment, and as a journalist, they naturally have a sensitive nerve. Although crayfish is a very common small thing, it is already a good research object to eat from never eating to eating, and eating an industry. Although this is not a lofty thing and does not have a good political significance, in terms of "newsiness", it is already very rare.

When the car walked into the county seat, it was expected to be a cluster of low houses, and the only street along the river looked like an ordinary small town. But the biggest difference from other places is that at the door of everything restaurant and restaurant, there are signboards with "authentic Baiyun crayfish". Placed at the door are large pots of crayfish, exuding a rich fragrance that makes people salivate.

The driver calmly drove the car all the way to the door of the county guest house and said to them, "Don't believe the signboards outside, they are all disguises." There are often people in our city who come to eat crayfish, and the most authentic one is the guest house. Back then, it was the chef here who first invented thirteen spices!"

Now is the season when crayfish are on the market in large quantities, each with plenty of meat and delicious meat. Don't say anything, the emperor is not short of hungry soldiers, everyone unanimously decided to eat first and then go to register, and the interview will be talked about tomorrow.

Usually in the provincial capital, reporter Zhu will also discuss with his colleagues whose crayfish is authentic and whose taste is the best. But it wasn't until I ate the crayfish here that I suddenly decided what the "authentic" taste was. The driver's master is right, the crayfish here are sold directly regardless of the plate or portion. They ordered 3 catties of crayfish, and what came up was a big, bright, steaming signature "thirteen spices" flavor.

The aunt who served the plate was accustomed to seeing tourists who came to eat shrimp, and said enthusiastically, "The crayfish here are all the best, the whole one is the most delicious, and each one is washed clean, you can eat it with confidence!"

You can't be reserved when you eat crayfish, roll up your sleeves and start drying, and it really lives up to your reputation. The yellow meat is full of fat, and even the three knots on the big chela are elastic teeth and snow muscles from head to tail, with a strong fragrance and an aftertaste of finger sucking. A few people buried their heads in hard work, and in the blink of an eye, the kung fu basin bottomed out, and reporter Zhu beckoned without hesitation, "Three more catties!"

Eating and touching the belly that was propped up, only then did I have the time to explore the story of "authentic crayfish", and the people of the hotel have long been familiar with telling them the story that they have told countless times - in the past, it was a guest house of the county government, and later it was restructured into a "Baiyun Hotel", which was contracted and operated by Chef Liu, who was the first to cook crayfish at that time, but everyone is still used to calling it "guest house".

It is said that in 1979, the countryside had not yet been divided into households, and the peasants had a hard time, and they could not delay the meat several times a year. A young girl had an idea to clean the "pest" crayfish that no one ate in the field and cooked the "spicy crayfish", which was well received by everyone.

In order to increase some income for the farmers, this girl specially brought the cooked crayfish to the guest house and recommended it to Chef Liu. Chef Liu was deeply inspired to carefully study the original spicy flavor, and successfully developed the flavor "Thirteen Spices", which has become the signature of the county.

Later, as the fame of crayfish grew, more and more people fell in love with crayfish. Farmers in Baiyun County also harvested the first pot of gold from crayfish, which became a good idea to generate income and get rich.
