"Boss Pan, can you tell me how you discovered the Yaochi Great Crab King in the first place. Dongfang Qiu took a sip of fragrant tea and said lightly.

"Yes. About 20 years ago, I was born and raised, and once I returned to Guangling from the state capital, I asked four or five confidants to go to Gaoyou Lake to eat river fresh. It was almost evening, and before I was still working on the Octagonal Pavilion, I sat down casually in a boat fishing village on the lakeside, and an elderly couple came over in a small boat to sell the day's catch. I saw three or four special crabs at a glance, because the usual crabs are all jet black, and they are not four or five fingers wide, but these three or four special crabs are ten times bigger and fatter, nearly seven or eight are heavy, and the color is also different, it is blue-green. Of course, I asked the old fisherman couple if they knew what kind of crab it was. It's a pity that they have been fishing for the first time in their lives. My friend and I had never seen each other, so we were very curious, and we asked the people in the fishing village if they knew each other, but no one really did. ”

"Despite this, a few of us fell in love with these crabs at first sight, and immediately spent a lot of money to buy them and let the people of the fishing village process them. When it was served, everyone scrambled to eat, and found that in addition to the taste being much better than the ordinary Da Xian crab, the crab smell was still strong, but what was surprising was that the crab meat and crab roe also contained some spiritual power. On a whim, I named it 'Yao Chi Da Shen Crab' according to its color, and indeed its condition may have something to do with the legendary Yao Chi, and it may have such a color, accumulation, and spiritual power. ”

"I was unwilling to eat the marrow and know the taste, and then I stayed in Gaoyou Lake for a whole month, and only this old couple and a little fisherman could find the Yaochi Daxian crab, which is still familiar with the shape and familiar taste. I felt that there were not 40,000 fishermen in Gaoyou Lake, but there should be 7,000 or 8,000 people, so why were only a few people able to beat the Yaochi crabs? Later, I learned that the reason why they were able to beat the Yaochi crabs was that, first, they were able to shoot crab nets, and they were relatively thick, so that they could not be easily bitten or pierced by crabs; second, the crab nets were pressed deep with heavy stones, not less than 300 or 400 meters; and third, the places where they were able to beat the Yaochi crabs were basically nearby, that is, there was basically only one place where there was such a lake. ”

After sitting down, Pan Sanfan looked at Dongfang and smiled thoughtfully.

Such a monk who entered the Tao as a chef had a smile on his face from beginning to end, but Dongfang Qiuqiu thought of a lot from it, of course, part of it was his exclusive cooking skills, which were basically brushed aside and not discussed in detail.

However, judging from the last three points, Gaoyou Lake still hides a huge secret, but everyone has ignored a key point?

Why is it that only the Yaochi Great Crab and the Four-Fingered Melon Fish are both full of spiritual power, and may eat the same spiritual plant (spirit grass)?

"So, is it the same area where the four-fingered melon fish hit?"

Dongfang Qiuqiu continued to ask.

He believes that there must be a close relationship between the Yaochi Dashen crab and the four-fingered melon fish, otherwise, there would be such a similarity.

"Yes. The place where the four-fingered melon fish was found was the place where the Yaochi crab was beaten. Pan Sanban shook the brocade fan in his hand and recalled: "Where there are four-fingered melons and fishes, there are Yaochi Daxian crabs, and there are Yaochi Dayan crabs, there are four-fingered melons and fish." Both of them basically live and survive in the same area. ”

"So, is there anything special about this location?" said Dongfang.

"The place where the crab is beaten in Yaochi, or the place where the fish is beaten with four fingers, is a little weird, because that location, called the bottomless valley by local fishermen, is basically the deepest area of the entire Gaoyou Lake, accounting for about one of the two hundredth of the entire lake, and some strange things often happen, and everyone dare not go where to fish. For example, when the net is lost, the fisherman falls into the water without his own freedom when he is fishing, and the water quality there seems to be particularly cool, and it is a little colder. ”

Pan Sanfan shook the brocade fan and calmly said: "The reason why the old fisherman couple and the little fisherman dare to go is because the old one has no children and has nothing to worry about, and the little one has no father and mother, and has no support. At the same time, their fishing nets are also relatively special, and the location and depth are appropriate, so it is also understandable to hit the Yaochi crab and the four-fingered melon fish. ”

"You must have been to that strange place, right? You are a monk yourself, and your courage and wisdom are far greater than that of ordinary fishermen. Dongfang Qiu thought for a moment and asked again. I think that such a place is enough to attract foodies like Pan Sanban to boldly go there and explore it.

Sure enough, when he heard this, Pan Sanban laughed: "Curiosity kills the cat." Yes, I did, and when I went, I didn't notice any surprises, but the water was really cold. In addition, there are often whirlpools that appear suddenly, not very large, but large enough to swallow a small fishing boat. ”

"In that month, I followed two boats out of the lake to fish, and finally did not pay in vain, and finally made a big discovery: that is, when the Yaochi Dashen crab and the four-fingered melon fish were fished by the net, there were some small unknown lake algae in the mouth and stomach, but the color was blue-green, which was highly similar to the crab shell of the Yaochi Dashen crab, and there were also three or four visible lines on the body of the four-fingered melon fish, which was blue-green. The taste of the lake algae is basically the same as the crab meat flavor of the Yaochi Dashen crab and the fish flavor of the four-fingered melon fish. Therefore, I dare to conclude that the two really grew up eating the same kind of feed, so that they have such an incomparable effect and existence. ”

"That kind of lake algae is really rare, and it doesn't make up enough in a year, and it's really weird that after being caught and left in the air for three days, it becomes ordinary algae. I have given the lake algae to several spirit masters and alchemists for tasting, but I can't get what it is, the only thing everyone is sure of is that it contains an unknown mineral or something equivalent to spiritual power. ”

Dongfang Qiu Dao confirmed his conjecture even more, so he continued to ask, "Are there any other discoveries besides this unknown blue-green lake algae?"

"Yes. On several occasions, in the mouths and stomachs of the Yaochi crab and the four-fingered melon fish, a very small blue-green shrimp was also found, about the size of four or five hairs, and the whole body exuded the smell of blue-green lake algae. Originally, I also wanted to try to capture some, but because it was too small and the depth was too deep, I couldn't operate it, so I couldn't do it. ”

"In addition, when I went down to the net to catch crabs many times, I found that the Yaochi crab often sheds its shell, and for crabs, every time it sheds its shell and transforms, it means that it grows every time. Therefore, I am guessing that the Yaochi crab may have to go through more than ten shelling transformations, while the Yaochi crab king has undergone at least ten or more shelling transformations. ”

For the gold lord who seeks defeat in the east is thirsty, Pan Sanfan doesn't mind introducing it in detail.

Although, this is not the first time that Pan Sanban has disclosed to a third party the discovery of Yaochi Daxian crab and four-fingered melon fish.
