Suzhou is located on the side of Taihu Lake, the Yangtze River, surrounded by dense water networks, the land is very fertile, rice, sericulture, fishery and so on are very famous, especially in the east of Suzhou is the Yangcheng Lake, which is very famous in later generations, the hairy crabs in it are extremely fat, every autumn in later generations, all over the country are selling Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs, but most of them are fake, after all, Yangcheng Lake is a small lake around Taihu Lake, no matter how much hairy crab production is inside, it is impossible to supply the whole country.

Li Xiu has not been to Suzhou in his later years, but he has eaten the so-called Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs in other places, but he doesn't know whether it is true or false, and now he finally came to Suzhou, so he naturally wants to taste the real delicacy, but unfortunately it is not autumn, and the hairy crabs in the lake have not yet reached the fattest time, but they can barely give it a try, so Li Xiu took his family to Yangcheng Lake and rented two boats to travel, he and Zhang Shiyi and Shangguanyi drank and chatted on one boat, and the other ladies were on the other boat, so as not to disturb each other.

"You Shao, Hate Er is Brother Li's sister, that is, my sister Zhang, if you encounter any difficulties in Haiyan County, come to me directly, don't say anything else, I still have some energy in this part of the southern coast!" Zhang Shiyi said to Shangguan Yi very boldly at this time, he is now a well-known wealthy businessman in the coastal area, coupled with the connections left by the bearded customers in the past, it can be said that he can eat both black and white, and it is natural to take care of Shangguan Yi, a small county order.

"Thank you, Brother Zhang, I would like to give you a drink!" Shangguan Yi also toasted Zhang Shiyi very gratefully at this time.

Not to mention anything else, yesterday Shangguan Yi and Zhang Shiyi talked about fishing boats, but Zhang Shiyi didn't say a word, and immediately agreed to give them a batch of sea boats, and it was free, of course, the only requirement is that the production of canned seafood is given priority to let them purchase, for which Shangguan Yi is also very grateful, after all, canned seafood is sold to anyone, in fact, Shangguan Yi originally just wanted to owe the fishing boat on credit, and planned to pay it back when he made money in the future, but he didn't expect Zhang Shiyi to be exempted directly.

"Okay, you're welcome, hurry up and drink this glass of wine, why haven't the hairy crabs of the boat family been steamed yet, I'm still waiting to eat?" Li Xiu said impatiently at this time, just now the boatman had already fished more than a dozen hairy crabs and they had been steamed in the basket, but Li Xiu couldn't wait to taste what the real hairy crabs tasted like?

"Haha~, Brother Li, you are really a greedy person, but I am a little strange, although the crabs in Yangcheng Lake are good, but this thing is too hard to eat, and it can't be stored, it can only be steamed and eaten, and if you eat it to death, you may even be poisoned, so even the locals of Suzhou don't like to eat it very much, and I only occasionally eat a few when the crab paste is fat in the autumn, why do you, a foreigner, clamore to eat the crabs of Yangcheng Lake as soon as you arrive in Suzhou?" Seeing Li Xiu's anxious look, he couldn't help but smile when he saw Zhang Shiyi.

During this period of the Tang Dynasty, the transportation was inconvenient, and the crab had to be eaten fresh, and it could not be shipped out at all, which also led to the fact that the crabs in Yangcheng Lake were far less famous than those in later generations, and eating crabs was also a technical job, and the meat on the crabs was not much, and they could only eat a little bit with great effort, so even the locals in Suzhou did not like to eat much, of course, they did not absolutely do not eat, such as some poor families, and when there was a war, many people had no food to eat, so they could only rely on salvaging the shrimp and crabs in the water.

"You also said that I am also a greedy person, the delicious food in the world naturally can't escape my eyes and ears, as early as Chang'an, I heard some southern merchants say that the crabs here are delicious, and now that I have come, I naturally want to taste it!" Li Xiu laughed at this time, of course he couldn't tell the truth.

When he was talking, he saw a young fisherwoman carrying a cage drawer and sending it up, in which there were more than a dozen hairy crabs that had been steamed, and then sent up vinegar with ginger foam, which made Li Xiu also have a great appetite, regardless of the hot hands, grabbed a crab and dismantled it, and waited until a piece of snow-white crab meat was removed, dipped it in vinegar, and then stuffed it into his mouth, and it turned out that the hairy crab in Yangcheng Lake was indeed worthy of its name, and it was much more delicious than the crabs he ate in other places.

More than a dozen hairy crabs were eaten by Li Xiu alone, and the remaining half was divided equally between Zhang Shiyi and Shangguan Yi, mainly because they ate too slowly, especially Shangguan Yi, who also ate crabs for the first time, but it took a lot of effort to dismantle the crabs, and in the end, he ate the least.

"This crab is very delicious, but it is too troublesome to eat, and there is not much meat, so I can't eat enough at all." Shangguan Yi finally squeezed out the meat in the crab's leg and ate it, and then said with some emotion, he never thought that it would take so much effort to eat a meal, it was even more troublesome than dealing with official business.

"If you want to eat delicious food, you naturally have to spend a little more effort, and dismantling crabs is also a skill, you see Brother Li and he will top the two of us alone, and the crabs are very clean, unlike the crabs we have dismantled have become messy!" Zhang Shiyi also pointed at Li Xiu at this time and said with a smile, only to see that the crab shells dismantled in front of Li Xiu were also very neat, and they could even be put together into a complete crab, compared to the crab shells in front of them, which were much worse.

"It's a waste for you two to eat crabs, half of the meat of a crab has been thrown away by you, I think you should eat other dishes, so as not to waste it again!" Hearing Zhang Shiyi's words, Li Xiu retorted indifferently, at this time, the fisherman sent a few other dishes, speaking of Yangcheng Lake, in addition to hairy crabs, the white fish and clear water shrimp in the lake are also very famous.

Just when Li Xiu and the three of them were eating and chatting, a horse came galloping from the south side of Yangcheng Lake, and came to the shore of Yangcheng Lake in the blink of an eye. Li Xiu and the others were originally playing, so the boatman also let the boat float in the lake, but after a while, the fishing boat caught up with Li Xiu and their boat, and then the other party jumped on the boat, but was stopped by Li Xiu's guards.

Zhang Shiyi was laughing with Li Xiu at this time, but at this time, a guard came in to report, saying that his subordinates asked to see him, which made him a little strange, but he still stood up and walked out of the cabin, and only came back after a while, but at this time his face became very solemn, as if there was something important?

"What's the matter, Brother Eleven, what happened to you over there?" Li Xiu also asked with some curiosity when he saw Zhang Shiyi's appearance.

"This ......" Zhang Shiyi looked at Li Xiugang and wanted to say something, but when he saw Shangguan Yi next to him, he immediately laughed and said, "It's nothing, it's just some business things, let's drink, don't be spoiled by these mundane things!" ”
