The autumn wind is blowing, and the crabs are coming. During the National Day, the hairy crabs, who were late for half a month, finally came into the market in a concentrated manner, with plump crab roe and plump crab paste. The crabs are tumbled in hot oil mixed with ginger and garlic, and served with a rich sauce, making many diners unable to stop.
Wuhan Brain Crab Secret Roasted Hairy Crab Shop owner Tong Qing: "At this time, the crabs are very full, and the current supply is very sufficient. Our shop consumes about 200 pounds of crabs (a day)."
Diner Liu Wenbin: "Specially wait until I came here to eat at this time, the crabs here are all from Liangzi Lake, I really wanted to try it, so I came here.”
The crabs from Liangzi Lake that the good eaters miss, how is life now? In the busy crab breeding base in Zitan Village, Liangzihu District, following the villagers on the fishing boat, we seemed to hear the familiar sound of a bumper harvest.
reporter Ai Sihang: "I think crabs are already popping out of this cage. Wow! This cage can be said to be the fullest cage I've seen today, isn't it?"
Liangzihu District, Ezhou City Chen Changbing, a villager in Tan Village: "Yes. There are so many cages, but I can't hear the sound. The squeaking sound is the best. This floor cage is at least 40 pounds."
reporter Ai Sihang: "I heard the tick of water from the crab pond pulling up the ground cage, and saw the big crabs pouring into the bucket. The price is especially good this year. The crabs in the base around me have been snapped up even before the cage is raised. ."
This year's bumper harvest did not come easily. The continuous high temperature in Hubei in August caused the crabs to be unable to molt in the water and grow slowly. Fortunately, this crab base is close to Liangzi Lake. During the crab molting period, farmers feed high-protein feed into the crab pond while transferring water from Liangzi Lake for the crabs to adjust the most "livable" water temperature.
Chen Changbing, a villager in Zitan Village, Liangzihu District, Ezhou City: "If the water level is high, it will be cool below. If the water level is low, it will be unbearable. When the temperature is high, we all (fill the water to) 1.2 meters."
This summer, crabs The farmers also specially contacted aquaculture experts to learn how to manage water quality, and artificially throw grass and clean up the breeding area on a regular basis. After a long and sweltering summer, under the escort of crab farmers, more Liangzi Lake crabs will climb to the dining table of the common people in October.
Chen Changbing, a villager in Zitan Village, Liangzihu District, Ezhou City: "We bought five measuring instruments for water temperature and water quality, and we measure it once a week. The output is 50 kilograms more per mu this year." Ordered a few boxes of crabs to bring to our family and friends, the crabs here are very big, I am very satisfied."
