Hairy crab, scientifically known as Chinese mitten crab, is native to Haizhou and is native to the estuary of the Yangtze River in Haizhou. After introduction and cultivation, the Chinese mitten crab grown in Yangcheng Lake is most famous because of its good water quality, excellent crab quality and successful later publicity.

Today, the Yangtze River Delta region with Yangcheng Lake in Gusu as its core has formed a huge industry with an output value of over 100 billion yuan. The initial crab seedling fishing, cultivation, commercial crab breeding, feed production, later sales, catering and other industrial chains have been extremely developed.

Even with the continuous development of Internet shopping and offline logistics, the sales of hairy crabs on the Internet have appeared. It is certain that this new trade model will play a greater role in the future and become a very important link in the hairy crab industry.

In recent years, hairy crabs have become more and more famous. Their breeding area and scale in the area south of the Yangtze River have been expanding, becoming an important project in the aquaculture industry in China. Because hairy crabs are expensive, this is why the profit margin of this project is quite high, and it continues to attract more capital to invest in it.

Every year, the September and October of the lunar calendar are the season when hairy crabs are on the market, so Yangcheng Lake attracts diners and dealers from all over the world, filling the villages and towns around Yangcheng Lake. Visits to the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River also timely launch various menus of hairy crabs, which attract more customers to eat through this delicious aquatic product.

This resort next to Yangcheng Lake is no exception. All rooms are filled with diners from Haizhou, Jinling, Jinshan and other places. If Ban Jieming had not been through Xu Kaifu's relationship, in this special period, there would have been no way to set 25 standard rooms.

When Xiao Feng and his group arrived at the banquet hall, the entire hall was already full of people, and diners from all directions were feasting on the food and enjoying the deliciousness of hairy crabs.

As soon as Xiao Feng entered the hall, he smelled the special fragrance of hairy crabs. The pungent and spicy taste of spicy crabs is no less than that. The entire hall is full of the smell of a lake.

Xiao Feng and his group had exactly fifty people, occupying five banquets in a corner of the banquet hall. After the students were assigned to each other according to their close relationships, Benjamin ordered the waiter to start serving the dishes.

When the first dish was delivered, everyone except Benjamin and Xiao Feng were stunned!

The waiter sent 20 steamed hairy crabs to each table, with two of them in their hands, and these red hairy crabs were as big as a palm, at least seven or eight taels.

Everyone has lived in Haizhou for five years. Although due to the different economic conditions, not everyone can often eat expensive foods such as hairy crabs, but everyone knows the price.

Generally speaking, as long as the weight of hairy crabs exceeds 250 grams, the market price is around 150 yuan. As the weight increases, the price of hairy crabs will increase step by step. The top hairy crabs with more than 350 grams are sold by farmers, even for farmers. After the finished product is made in the resort, you can imagine the high price!

"Teacher, you're doing this, don't you want us to stay here to wash dishes?" At this time, the fat man quickly reacted.

With the fat man's knowledge and mental arithmetic ability, it is estimated that the price of this plate of hairy crabs is not enough to be obtained without 5,000 yuan. Five plates of hairy crabs, plus other dishes, can be at least 6,000 yuan per table, which is undoubtedly too luxurious for a classmate reunion that has only paid 300 yuan in share!

"Don't worry, everyone!" Seeing the shocked expression on everyone's faces, Benjamin stood up and said, "One of us's low-key rich man sponsored 30,000 yuan. Otherwise, it would be a pity to eat a small crab that costs 20 yuan per pound when we arrived in Yangcheng Lake!"

After deducting the cost of car rental and accommodation, only half of the 300 yuan is spent on meals, and the 150 yuan is spent on breakfast, lunch and evening meals. It is a huge test for Banjamin, the organizer. Even though Banjamin has given Banjamin a great discount, it is undoubtedly quite difficult to eat some good things.

However, after Xiao Feng understood the situation, he decided to pay the money to let the students enjoy the wonderful taste of the top Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs. Of course, he asked Benjamin not to offer him, after all, he was just out of good intentions and did not want to show off.

"So there is such a rich man hidden among us!" As soon as Ben Jieming finished speaking, all the students were in an uproar.

After all, 30,000 yuan is indeed a considerable amount for this group of young people who have just graduated or are still studying. After Xiao Feng's original job became a regular, the money he earned was less than 3,000 yuan per month, and 30,000 yuan was his income for the whole year.

Pang Xin's little eyes swept across Xiao Feng's calm face, feeling that the money was probably paid by Xiao Feng. It seems that Xiao Feng had undergone a huge change after graduation.

"Class Old, can you tell us who he is?"

"Who is this big shot?"

"Don't guess it all over the place, let's start!" The boss looked at Xiao Feng, who was pretending to discuss with others, and waved his hand to announce.

After a little understanding of some of Xiao Feng's current industries, Ban Jieming naturally knew that 30,000 yuan was just a drizzle for Xiao Feng now.

There are many ways to cook hairy crabs, but there is only one cooking method that best reflects the deliciousness of the ingredients themselves, that is, steaming!

After washing the hairy crabs, put them in a steamer and cooking them with high temperature steam, not only maintaining the umami flavor of the crab meat and the crab paste itself, but also maintaining the sweetness of the meat to the greatest extent.

Xiao Feng grabbed a hairy crab, skillfully cut its two crab claws and eight crab legs with small scissors, put them aside, and finally eat them later. Then, Xiao Feng covered the crab and uncovered the crab cover, revealing the golden crab roe.

The ovaries and digestive glands in the female crab's body condense into a yellow semi-coagulant after steaming at high temperature. This is the most nutritious and delicious part of hairy crabs - crab roe.

According to the "Food Classic", female crabs have the effects of promoting appetite and moistening the lungs, nourishing the kidneys and strengthening yang, nourishing blood and promoting blood circulation!

Modern research has proved that crab roe has the highest nutritional value. It is rich in trace elements, collagen, calcium, phosphorus and other nutrients necessary for the human body, and is known as the "river fresh gold".

I scooped a spoonful of crab roe with a small spoon and put it in my mouth. The crab roe that melted in my mouth burst out with a strong umami flavor in a very short time, rushing straight to my forehead!

Some people like to use balsamic vinegar or soy sauce when eating crabs, but Xiao Feng thinks that the original steamed crab is the best, but because the seasonings will always conceal the original flavor from nature.

Xiao Feng had eaten hairy crabs when he was in Haizhou before, but due to economic conditions, he usually could only eat small crabs or not so authentic hairy crabs. Those crabs taste beautiful but still cannot be compared with these authentic top Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs. There is a huge difference between the two.

At this time, Xiao Feng finally understood why Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs became the most famous representative of Chinese mitten crabs?

At this time, Xiao Feng thought that if Xiao Family Farm could successfully cultivate hairy crabs with better taste in the future, it would form a business card and further enhance the fame of Ginkgo Village and Jinghu Scenic Area. The magical effects shown by the Space Spirit Spring make Xiao Feng confident in the arrival of this day.

Eating the delicious hairy crabs and taking a sip of the warm and mellow Shaoxing rice wine is a great enjoyment in the world!

After eating two huge crabs, Xiao Feng was full of sixty or seventy percent, but the spicy crabs on the table were another kind of delicacy, which made Xiao Feng unable to help but have a big appetite.

Spicy crabs are cooked with hairy crabs with a single weight of less than 100 grams. In addition to cost considerations, this type of crab can be better tasted and show the fresh, spicy characteristics of spicy crabs.

When Xiao Feng was still studying, he often played football with Banjieming, Xu Boming and others, and then ordered a large pot of spicy crabs, spicy shrimps and other delicious food at the food stall near the school. He ate it sweated heavily and then filled it with cold beer. The refreshing feeling was unique.

However, after graduation, this lively scene has become an indelible mark in memories, and it is difficult to reproduce it.

After drinking and eating, the students naturally made an appointment to enter the villa’s KTV and began to show their singing voice. Although Xiao Feng didn’t like this noisy occasion, he couldn’t seem too out of place.

The students kept singing and the play ended until one o'clock in the morning. During this period, except for singing two songs at Banjamin's request, Xiao Feng sat in the corner of the box with a glass of beer for most of the time.

Since Xiao Feng revealed that he had returned to his hometown in western Yunnan to work, the students almost subconsciously weakened Xiao Feng's presence. The distance between Haizhou and western Yunnan has become so large that it is impossible to ignore. Perhaps it will be difficult for everyone to see each other again after this meeting.

The students' distantness and Xiao Feng's active retreat made Xiao Feng an optional existence in the private room. Xiao Feng, who likes quietness, is happy to see it.

In fact, this is no wonder that the students are snobbish. After all, the gap in reality will gradually make two familiar people strange.

The fat man Pang Xin wanted to get close to Xiao Feng, but he couldn't do it too urgently, so he could only suppress his heart, push a bright smile on his face, and play dice and other KTV games with his classmates.

After coming out of KTV, everyone was still in high mood, but the large amount of alcohol intake had already made most of the students feel a little dizzy, so they went back to their rooms to wash and sleep.

At this point, the main content of the class reunion is basically over. Tomorrow morning, under the guidance of locals, we will go to the hairy crab farm beside Yangcheng Lake to visit the process of fishing commercial crabs at close range, and then take a bus to return to Haizhou.

Judging from the current situation, the low-key rich classmate provided strong sponsorship for the party, making the party a complete success!
Chapter completed!
