There are many delicious things in the world, and each has its own name, and seafood will occupy a seat.

If you come to Qingdao, seafood must be an indispensable delicacy. In this beautiful coastal city, eating seafood is as common as eating rice in the south and steamed bread in the north. If you don't order seafood for any meal, it's like putting less salt in the dish.

However, even if you come, you don't have to eat fresh products like Shanghai bees. From the appearance, there is something special. Its head looks like crayfish, and its body looks like shrimp and tiger. It has the characteristics of both southern seafood and northern seafood. It's clumsy and lovely, it's fresh and delicious.

If it's just fresh and delicious, that's fine, but it's rarely interesting.

Fishing in rivers and oceans is very common. If you fish on the beach, you will be surprised. Sea bees not only fish on the beach, but also use brushes. This kind of hair is also very delicate. It must be a mixture of dog hair and wool.

Bathed in the night and the sea breeze, holding a flashlight and carrying a brush, taking advantage of the ebb tide, find a beach, gently scrape off the fine sand on it with a small hoe, exposing a hole the size of a coin below, and inserting a small wooden stick the thickness of a finger along the eye.

The sea bee is very happy and has a big temper. When something invades, it becomes angry and starts to climb. This move exposed itself. When the stick was pulled out, the brush was gently put in, and the bees came out, the little guy was even more embarrassed and punched. At that moment, do it quickly. Before it escaped, it was firmly caught!

Sea bees can't read, so why write angrily? The name "Eat Xia" is circulating in the Jianghu. "Eat" is a dialect in Qingdao, which means "stupid".

Even if you live, you have to live in Taohuayuan. Sea bees can't be farmed artificially, so they only choose the scenic land of Christina Beach to settle down and live brilliantly. In Qingdao, there are not many places to produce sea bees. Tangdao Bay on the west coast is a place with a long sky and Bohai Sea, a natural bay and wild flowers. No one can call it "stupid", but people don't know its interest.

If you hold a brush and catch a few sea bees by Tangdao Bay, you can steam, boil, fry and peel them. The white one is meat, and the yellow one is seeds. The meat is delicious. If you eat a little, your lips and teeth will stay fresh. Appreciate beautiful music, the lingering sound is pleasant, and when you meet beautiful scenery, you can't help but admire it.

Su Dongpo likes good food. When he was demoted to Huizhou, he ate oysters, which were as beautiful as flowers, and made his uncle say, "I don't want Chinese and Korean scholars to know, for fear that the southern disciples will share this taste." In Qingdao, I really know that there are not many delicious foods like sea bees.

A friend came to Qingdao, a Sichuanese, who admired seafood and loved Sichuan spicy food. He caught half a small basket of sea bees, found a restaurant and asked his master to do it in Sichuan. Sweet and spicy, fragrant, he ate a lot, took some beer and drank a lot. The sea breeze is smooth and pleasant!

Really more interesting than sea bees!
