They all come from legends

The history cannot be tested

1. It is said that thousands of years ago, there was a kind of creature with two pincers and eight legs in the rivers and lakes, with a vicious shape. Beetle. Not only does it eat rice, it also bites people with its pincers, so it is called a mangling insect. Later, Dayu went to the south of the Yangtze River to control floods and sent the warrior Ba Jie to supervise the work. However, the infestation of man-macing insects seriously hindered the project. Ba Jie came up with a plan to dig a ditch beside the city and fill it with boiling water. When the mangling insects came over, they fell into the ditch and were scalded to death. The scalded mangling insect is completely red and emits an attractive and delicious fragrance.

Ba Jie opened the carapace out of curiosity and smelled the scent which was even stronger. He took a bold bite and discovered that the taste was fresh and tastier than anything else. The feared pest suddenly became a well-known delicacy. In order to express their gratitude to Ba Jie, who dared to be the first in the world, everyone added the word "worm" under the word "jie" and called the mangling insect "crab", which means that Ba Jie conquered the mangling insect and became the best crab-eater in the world. This is a legend and has no origin.

2. One year in Shaoxing, there was a crab infestation. People tried many ways to solve it but could not solve it. Later, a master gave everyone a way to make a broken tank and then fill the tank with salt water, etc. He crawled inside with the crabs and let the salt water sting them to death. In the end, all the crabs were killed. When people couldn't deal with the crabs, it was the master who stood up first, ate the crabs in front of everyone and praised the taste of the crabs. Okay, so "the first person to eat crabs" describes a brave person, and the Shaoxing master became famous.
