It is said that in those days, crabs were for the poor. Because at that time, it was generally believed that crabs were dirty and ate dead bodies and excrement. Before there was a definition of eating, China people did not pay attention to it, which led to the proliferation of crabs at that time, and only the poor would eat them. In modern times, crab has become an indispensable delicacy for diners to eat seafood, and the price of crab has soared. Although it is not affordable, it is indeed expensive compared with the period of the Republic of China.

sea urchin
In fact, sea urchins have not been used as food for a long time in the northern coastal areas, but only as fertilizer. At least in the 1970s and 1990s, not only sea urchins, but also many shellfish, such as sea rainbow, clams and even scallops, were used for fertilization, mainly because there was no meat in these seafood at that time, especially sea urchins were too troublesome to handle. Sea urchins are restored as food because of the economic development, one is the entry of foreign food culture, the other is the increase of income, sea urchin cooking has been excavated again, and the price has also risen.

tricholoma matsutake
Tricholoma matsutake smells like medicine, but it has no other mushroom fragrance and no edible value. Farmers sometimes crush them directly with their feet, but they are too lazy to collect them. At that time, people thought it was a kind of bacteria with bad taste. People seldom ate it and could not sell it at a price. At that time, it was purely poor cooking. Later, with the Japanese acquisition, the price gradually rose, and matsutake became an expensive food.
