Crabs can also be flooded? And it is also a crab in the sea, although later generations occasionally heard that there are crabs flooded abroad, but it is mainly freshwater crabs, and it is a species invasion, and there are no natural enemies in the local area, which leads to the overflow of crabs, but what Li Xiu never expected is that Haiyan County is flooded with crabs on the seaside, Shangguanyi has not come back for three days and three nights in order to relieve the disaster, and he is worried about his body, so he also went to the beach today, which made Li Xiu pounce.

After Li Xiu came to Datang, he encountered drought and locust plagues, but he really hadn't seen crabs become plagues, so after hearing about this, he immediately turned his horse's head and went out of the county seat.

The distance of more than ten miles is in a blink of an eye, but before Li Xiu and the others reached the beach, they had already found that the black smoke in front of them was soaring into the sky, as if someone was burning a fire, and there was a strange smell in the air, which smelled like a grilled fish was burnt, and the closer they got to the sea, the stronger the smell.

The seaside is not only a beach, in fact, on both sides of the path Li Xiu and they walked, all are reclaimed fields, which are planted with green sweet potatoes, many of the fields by the sea are saline-alkali land, even if the general crops can live, there is no yield, but sweet potatoes do not pick the ground, whether it is a barren mountain or a saline-alkali land, they can generally survive, of course, the yield is definitely not as good as the fertile land, but it is better than nothing.

After passing through this green sweet potato field and passing a high hill, a blue sea immediately appeared in front of him, which was far more beautiful than the somewhat blackened sea water that was polluted in later generations, and there was a narrow beach under the high gang, dozens of black fires were emitting wisps of residual smoke, and not far from the fire, there were even a few tents, and there were many people walking around, but to Li Xiu's surprise, he did not see the imaginary scene of crab flooding.

At that moment, Li Xiu drove his horse to the beach, and found that these people on the beach had officials from the government, and there were also some farmers wearing patched short coats, which were estimated to be nearby villagers, but Li Xiu did not see Shangguan Yi, so he asked someone to come forward and ask a servant, and then he knew that Shangguan Yi was resting in one of the tents.

After asking about the location of the tent, Li Xiu strode to the door of the tent, and saw at a glance a few guards of Hate Er guarding the door of the tent, they were all when Hate Er got married, Ma Ye picked out the guards at home to marry him, in his words, so as not to be bullied after Hate Er got married.

These guards all knew Li Xiu, and when they saw him hurriedly saluting, Li Xiu also greeted them with a smile, and then went directly into the tent, but what he didn't expect was that Qi'er was also here, sewing a piece of clothing with a needle and thread in her hand, and on the bed behind her, Shangguan Yi was snoring soundly and sleeping soundly.

Ha'er was also stunned when she saw Li Xiu come in, and then she showed a surprised expression on her face, but then she signaled to Li Xiu again, as if to ask him not to quarrel with Shangguanyi, and then she stood up and came to the tent with Li Xiu, and then finally spoke: "Sir, why are you here?" ”

"Didn't I say last time that I was going to come to Haiyan to see, but I didn't expect to go to the county government but pounced, and after learning that you were here, I also ran over, but didn't this say that crabs are flooded, why haven't I seen one?" Li Xiu asked with a smile at this time.

"Giggle~, I didn't expect there to be things in this world that Mr. doesn't know!" What Li Xiu didn't expect was that when he heard Li Xiu's words, he smiled a little happily.

"Haha~, there are so many mysteries in this world, no one can really know everything!" Li Xiu smiled freely when he heard Ha'er's words, compared with other Tang people, he did seem very knowledgeable, but he was just an ordinary person in the later life, so he also had self-knowledge of himself.

"Or Mr. frank, but I also came here to know, the crabs on the beach generally come out at night, and hide in the sea to rest during the day, yesterday the husband commanded people to open the net to catch crabs, and he was busy all night, he didn't rest when I came before, and he didn't rest until a few hours ago after eating the breakfast I brought and lay down, snoring loudly, it seems that he is really tired!" When Ha'er said the end, he also showed a somewhat distressed expression on his face.

"I see, but is there really a ramp of crabs here?" Li Xiu first nodded when he heard this, and then said with some disbelief, after all, he had never seen the scene of crab flooding in the next life.

"No wonder Mr. doesn't believe it, in fact, I only came here today during the day, and I haven't seen the scene of crab flooding, but I heard the locals say that almost every year at this time, the crabs in the sea will climb ashore in groups, presumably Mr. just saw it, not far from the coast is a large area of farmland, that is the sweet potato that the husband has just promoted and planted in the county this year, and it is also the ration of the people of the county, if you leave it alone, these crabs will eat the sweet potato vines, just like locusts, Several fields near the sea had already been damaged, so Fu Jun organized nearby villagers to catch crabs. Ha'er explained softly at this time.

Li Xiu also nodded when he heard this, crabs are omnivores, the fish, shrimp and aquatic plants in the sea are their food, sometimes the food in the sea is insufficient, they will also climb ashore to forage, sweet potato vines are already edible, it is not strange to attract these crabs, although sweet potato vines can be regenerated, but it will seriously affect the yield, which has been proven by the Ministry of Agriculture in the last locust plague.

At that moment, Li Xiu and Hate Er chatted for a while, but Shangguan Yi in the tent woke up, and when he walked out of the tent and saw Li Xiu, he was also very surprised to come forward and salute, after saying a few words, Hate Er asked Shangguan Yi to entertain Li Xiu, and he went to the tent to continue to sew clothes.

"By the way, what do you guys do with those overflowing crabs?" Li Xiu asked Shangguan Yi at this time.

"Alas, you'll find out if you follow along!" Shangguan Yi also sighed when he heard Li Xiu's words, and then took Li Xiu to a nearby fire, saying that it was a fire, but it was actually a big pit dug out of the beach, and now there are only some embers left in the pit, wisps of black smoke coming out, but some crab stumps can still be seen in the ashes in the fire, exuding a pungent smell.

"You just burned the crab like that?" Li Xiu couldn't help but secretly scream when he saw this, this is too tyrannical, although the sea crab is not as delicious as the hairy crab in Yangcheng Lake, but it is not cheap in later generations, but he didn't expect that in the era of Datang, it was burned as a pest.

Seeing the expression on Li Xiu's face, Shangguan Yi also guessed what he was thinking, after all, they had just eaten crabs in Yangcheng Lake last time, but he also smiled bitterly at this and said: "You also know that although crabs are delicious, they are too troublesome to eat, and there are too many things that can be eaten in the sea, and generally no one will spend so much effort to eat crabs, and this time there are too many crabs, they can't be killed, and there is no way to save this thing, so it can only be burned like this, so as not to pile them together and produce a plague." ”

Hearing Shangguan Yi's explanation, although Li Xiu could understand it, he still felt a little pity when he thought that so many crabs were wasted in vain, but just like Shangguan Yi said, crabs are really not easy to preserve, and don't think about making them canned, because just removing the crab meat is a troublesome matter, and it is not cost-effective to invest too much labor.

Shangguan Yi took Li Xiu around the beach, but Li Xiu found that on this beach for dozens of miles, there were fire pits for burning crabs everywhere, and when it was almost dark, the villagers around the beach also spontaneously came to the beach to gather, it seemed that there were thousands of people, including not only men and women, but even some half-old children came to help, and the bonfires in other places were also raised, and a cauldron was set up on the fire, and the seawater in the pot also boiled quickly, and bursts of steam came out.

Li Xiu had never seen a crab flood, so he decided to stay, but sent a guard back to report the news, so as not to worry Princess Pingyang, and when it was completely dark, there were finally some changes on the beach.

Today's moonlight is good, coupled with the irradiation of the fire, people can see very clearly, only to see the junction of the sea water and the beach, suddenly a black line appeared, and from the sea water has been extended outward, and at the same time made a "rustling" sound, until you get closer, you will find that these black lines are actually a piece of crabs, densely packed with the entire beach is paved.

"This ...... So many crabs? "Li Xiu has lived for two lifetimes, but it is the first time he has seen so many crabs, and they are not small, but it is right to think about it, people in this era do not like to eat crabs, at most some people eat some freshwater crabs, like these crabs in the sea are not caught at all, and they naturally look not small.

"The crab tide is coming, surf the Internet!" With the shout of an old man on the beach, the villagers who had been ready for a long time also immediately stepped forward, and opened a large rectangular net in pairs, lined up in a line to meet it, and the people in front of them immediately retreated after netting a net of crabs, and the people behind immediately went up, resolutely not letting the tide of crabs break through their defenses, otherwise the crops behind would suffer.

After the crabs are put into the net, they are immediately thrown into the hot water in the back pot so that they are scalded to death, and then there are special people who throw these dead crabs into the pits where the crabs are burned, and wait until dawn to burn them again, so as not to rot and produce bacteria and cause plague.

At first, Li Xiu was still feeling sorry for the crabs thrown away, but when he saw that the crabs gushing out of the sea seemed to be endless, he couldn't help but feel a little numb in his heart.

In the next few days, Li Xiu stayed in Haiyan and watched Shangguan Yi and them resist the crab plague, and when the crab plague was about to pass, the news finally came from Zhang Shiyi, who went to Quanzhou.
