Chinese people have a long history of eating crabs.

There are rumors that it was a warrior in the Jiangnan area who first plucked up the courage to taste cooked crabs. At that time, giant crabs, which had been rampant for a long time, became a delicacy on the dining table and were passed down from generation to generation, giving rise to today's

The history of Chinese hairy crab-eating civilization.

Some people have said that there are two types of crab eaters in the world, those who eat freshwater crabs and those who eat sea surface crabs.

If you place it in China, there is a sense of superiority when eating hairy crabs. Lake crabs are considered superior, crabs are average, stream crabs are inferior, and crabs are inferior. This really makes people at the beach angry.

There is also Shi Jinmo, a famous Chinese doctor during the Republic of China. He not only loved eating crabs, but also classified cancer crabs: first-class lake crabs, second-class river crabs, third-class crabs, fourth-class river crabs, and fifth-class crabs, which are actually cancers.

The lowest group in the world.

This means that sea crabs cannot get into his eyes at all.

The famous writer Liang Shiqiu wrote in "Yashe Talks about Eating": "Although crabs have a weak taste, they are thick and thick. In the past, I took a boat through Weihaiwei, Yantai City. After the docking, the sampans gathered together, and most of them were selling giant crabs.

And big lobster. They are all cooked. They are cheap and can be eaten even though they are slightly fishy. "This kind of literati attitude towards cancer is really bad.

In the final analysis, it is related to the daily living environment of these literati.

At that time, these "ink people" with the right to speak all lived in the central region, and the transportation of crabs had become commonplace. It was inevitable that the "sea smell" of crabs could not be tolerated.

So these people with pens in their hands say that crabs are not as good as lake crabs, and lake crabs are the most delicious. After all, they have never eaten sea crabs, safflower crabs, and orchids that were just fished out of the sea.

Crab, butter crab...the delicacy of this giant crab is probably only understood by elite people at the seaside.

Let’s talk about the number one lake crab, which means that cancer crabs are crabs from the Jiangnan area.

Every year in October and November, when crabs are on the market, you will find that supermarkets in first- and second-tier cities will hold lectures on crabs, eager to show off the goodness of hairy crabs in front of you.

Although crabs also have a sense of superiority: those in Yangcheng Lake look down on those in Taihu Lake; those in Taihu Lake look down on those in Hongze Lake; those in Hongze Lake look down on those in Gaoyou City... The bosses of these giant crab shops located on the banks of the Jiangnan River and crab farms are all

It will be said that other stores sell "bath crabs" and only their own is authentic.

But crabs are not the number one among lake crabs. There are also Qinhu crabs that are quietly pretending to be in the limelight.

The Qinhu crab, which ranks above crabs, lives in Qinhu Lake and has another exclusive name "簖 crab".

"簖" is a method of catching crabs. Thin bamboo or reed leaves tied into guardrails stand in the water and become an "exploration checkpoint" for cancer crabs.

Cancers that can cross these guardrails will fall into the crab baskets set up by people. Only cancers that can cross these guardrails can be considered healthy and strong. These crabs are weak, petite, and have no strength.

, can't climb the high reed leaves at all.

This is a simple selection method.

Why not publicize and plan the crab?

Because there are too few of them, the original breeding area is not large. After some selection, only a few thousand tons of giant crabs are produced every year. Customers who know how to eat eat them quietly, and they won't tell nonsense. After all, it is absolutely

It’s a once-a-year delicacy.

As for which crab is more delicious, or lake crab is more delicious, everyone has a different opinion.

People at the seaside are used to eating crabs. They feel that crabs are tender and delicious, with fine meat texture and different aromas.

Inland people love lake crabs and enjoy eating crab paste and crab roe.

So do I prefer crabs or lake crabs?
