Li Xiaofeng, who had been busy for a while, inadvertently looked at the map, yo, he had been staring at the beach just now, and he really didn't pay attention to the sea, when this thing came.

He hurriedly carried the bucket and the pump and walked quickly to Li Yonglin, who was catching the sea not far away.

Said to him: "Dad, you can use this pump, I was a little tired from a busy job just now, you use my bucket, I will carry your bucket to the water's edge for a while." ”

In this way, the two exchanged buckets, and Li Yonglin took this pump and began to work again with great interest.

Don't look at these sandworms, they are not good-looking, they are dozens of pounds on their side.

Li Xiaofeng carried the almost empty bucket and walked to the water's edge.

When I came to the water's edge, I saw a crab half nested in the sand, and the whole appearance was somewhat similar to the tiger's head, and there were two large dark purple round spots on the crab shell, like the eyes of a tiger.

This is what Li Xiaofeng saw on the map just now, it is called the ghost head crab on their side, and the scientific name is the Chinese tiger head crab.

Devil's head crab is a large crab with warm water near the sea, and prefers to live on the muddy bottom of shallow seas. It is widely distributed in the southeast coast of China, the Yangtze River estuary, the Shandong Peninsula, the Bohai Bay, and the Liaodong Peninsula and other coastal waters.

Devil's head crab is said to have a very delicious taste and is perfect for steaming.

It is said to have the aroma of river crab, the umami of sea crab, and the slight sweetness of shellfish, making it the best seafood. The steamed crab meat dipped in ginger juice and a little vinegar is said to be delicious.

Li Xiaofeng just hasn't eaten it, he hasn't eaten it.

In the past, fishermen did not eat it much, but it has only emerged in recent years.

Due to its delicious taste, coupled with its slow growth (it is said that a half-catty or so ghost head crab grows for more than three years), it also makes it expensive.

The ghost head crab can be sold for one hundred and one catties for about two taels, and if it grows to three or four taels, it can be sold for one hundred and seventy eighty-one catties on their side.

Li Xiaofeng cautiously approached him, pinched the end of its carapace, and grabbed it. The Devil's Head Crab could only wave its two small pincers in vain.

But don't underestimate its pliers, although they are not big, but the ends are like two awls, which are very sharp.

The ghost head crab doesn't look big, but it has a lot of weight, and there should be more than three taels to take away.

The crabs in this season are generally more porcelain, and sometimes fishermen will call them steel plate crabs, which are very pressed.

Just such a small tiger crab is worth about fifty yuan.

Of course, since Li Xiaofeng came over in such a hurry, there must be more than one here.

Just from the map, Li Xiaofeng saw a small school of ghost crabs in the sea, and this one was just unlucky to be swept to the beach by the waves.

A few steps into the sea will reveal more Devil's Head Crabs, which are lining up and migrating deeper from the shore to the sea.

In this way, Li Xiaofeng kept catching tiger crabs while walking into the sea.

Liu Xuexia, who was catching the sea in the distance, looked up and saw Li Xiaofeng walking into the sea, and was startled, and hurriedly ran over without carrying a bucket.

Running to the water's edge, Liu Xuexia shouted to Li Xiaofeng, who was standing in the seawater: "Fengxiao, what are you doing?" ”

Li Xiaofeng turned his head and found that he didn't know what his mother had run over, so he hurriedly walked up with a bucket.

handed the bucket to Liu Xuexia and said, "Mom, what do you think this is?" ”

"Devil's Head Crab!" Liu Xuexia looked down and was also surprised to see the contents of Li Xiaofeng's bucket, but she knew that this thing was not cheap.

She hurriedly took out the rubber band she carried with her, ready to tie up the seven or eight ghost crabs in the bucket.

Li Xiaofeng hurriedly asked, "Mom, do you have any net pockets on you?" ”

Liu Xuexia took out a net bag from her pocket and handed it to him, asking, "What's the matter, there is still something in the sea?" ”

"And!" Li Xiaofeng hurriedly replied, "You hurry up and ask my dad to come home and bring my diving equipment over, I'll go down and catch them first, they are running into the sea." ”

"Then you hurry up and arrest it, I'll call your dad now!" Liu Xuexia also knew that the matter was urgent, and said without hesitation.

Li Xiaofeng hurriedly took off his coat that had just been wet, took the net pocket, and jumped back into the sea.

The water on this beach is not too clear, but fortunately he has a map, so he will not lose this group of ghost head crabs.

By the time he had filled his net pocket and turned back, the crabs had already begun to enter the deep water.

He could only swim to the deep water and dive directly to catch it.

Fortunately, with his current physical fitness, there is no big problem in staying at the bottom of the sea for a few minutes. The only problem now is that the sea water is a little cold, and the body loses temperature quickly after a long dive.

When he sent the crab up for the third time, Li Yonglin had already sent his diving equipment over, and after a while, he was already shivering in the cold sea water in the morning.

Changing into a diving suit, wearing goggles, carrying an oxygen cylinder, carrying a propeller, and carrying a net bag, Li Xiaofeng entered the sea water again.

In this way, he sent the ghost head crab back and forth several times, and at this time, the ghost head crab group was already far away from the beach, and Li Xiaofeng also decided to stop this hunt.

At this time, the beach was already full of ghost crabs tied up by Liu Xuexia and Li Yonglin, and many people were watching it. Many people looked very envious, but they really let them dive into the sea to catch them, and they didn't have the courage.

Li Xiaofeng estimated that the ghost head crab caught today is estimated to be more than 100 catties, think about the crab pot that has nowhere to be placed on the sea, this is really deliberately planting flowers and flowers, and unintentionally planting willows and willows.

Liu Xuexia and Li Yonglin quickly finished tying up the crabs, and the three of them transferred the crabs to the tricycle and drove the tricycle to their home.

After returning home, the three of them quickly transferred them all to the water tank and injected them with oxygen.

Li Yonglin began to contact old customers again, and the ghost crab was still relatively popular, and it was directly covered by the two bosses in the town. By the way, I also sold the sandworms I caught today at a price of 45 yuan a catty.

Li Yonglin was about to ride a tricycle to deliver the goods, Li Xiaofeng asked him to wait a little, and then selected two male crabs and four female crabs from the water tank, and at noon he was going to taste this famous devil's head crab as well.

Liu Xuexia was a little distressed about eating such an expensive crab, and glared at him, but she didn't say anything.

Li Xiaofeng grinned and found a brush, ready to brush these crabs clean.

The ghost head crab has mud and sand under its belly, and there are some soft hairs on its body, so it is quite difficult to brush.

After the ghost crabs were cleaned, Liu Xuexia steamed all six ghost crabs.

When Li Yonglin came back from the town, Liu Xuexia brought up six steaming ghost crabs, and Li Xiaofeng also brought up the prepared sauce made of shredded ginger and balsamic vinegar.

After steaming, the ghost head crab looks very good, the original yellow and black ghost head crab is now red.

Li Xiaofeng broke open a ghost head crab, revealing a full of crab paste, which smelled a little more fragrant than the crab paste of ordinary crabs, and tasted even more fragrant, the only fly in the ointment was that the aftertaste was slightly bitter.

Li Xiaofeng tasted the crab meat again, the taste was fresh and sweet, it was indeed more fragrant than the meat of ordinary crabs, and it was even more delicious with a little sauce.

After eating, Li Xiaofeng picked another female crab, and after breaking it, it was full of crab roe, and after tasting it, the taste was perfect!

Compared to those more expensive crabs, this ghost crab is definitely worth the price!
