Most of the hairy crabs in Poyang Lake on the market are sold with sheep's heads, but unfortunately it is useless to understand, don't eat if you don't buy them, and it is too difficult for consumers to distinguish the specific origin of the crabs by themselves.

This time, he inadvertently passed by Poyang Lake, and Hong Tao planned to have a good time, regardless of whether it should be eaten first or not. But when I inquired in Poyang County, the locals knew that there were crabs in the lake and restaurants sold them, but they were not very famous, and they were only the preference of a few people. It's not the season to eat crabs, so if you want to eat in advance, you have to book in advance and ask the guys in the restaurant to go to the lake to find a fisherman to catch it.

This hairy crab ate Hong Tao, and he didn't get up from the bed for two days, and almost didn't pull his intestines out. People in later generations ate crabs, which is nothing more than steaming, boiling and stir-frying, and occasionally pickled, but the Song people were too vigorous in eating, they ate raw, crab sashimi!

When the guy brought two portions of crabs and several ingredients, Hong Tao didn't understand how to eat raw crabs for a long time. This is also to blame for his lack of learning, if he can read more old man Su's poems, he probably won't be so surprised.

"Ding Gongmo Sends Clams": The stone crab by the stream is as small as money, and I am happy to see the red jade plate. Half of the shell contains yellow wine, and two chelates are slashed and snow is persuaded to add food.

Ding Gongmo, also known as Ding Qiu, is a state official from Jinshi, a friend of Su Shi, and it is said that he also went to Wang Xu's West Garden to fool around, but Hong Tao really can't remember it.

The ancient name for the crab. The poem says that Ding Gongmo sent a few pike crabs to Su Shi, and Old Man Su ate them very fragrantly. In fact, this is not the key, the key is the third sentence, half a shell contains yellow and should be ordered.

What does that mean? This is a way for the Song people to eat crabs, the live crabs are washed and split, pickled with wine or wine for half an hour, and then eaten raw, the name is wine and crab raw. There is also a simpler way to eat, even the pickling process is saved, directly cut the crab into pieces, mash it with oranges and mix it on the table, called hand-washing crab. It means that the production time is short, and the work of washing hands is done.

Hong Tao is still quite bold about eating, as long as others dare to eat, he dares to eat. Seeing that Wang Shi ate very fragrantly, he first splashed wine and then washed his hands. What does it taste...... In addition to a little fishy smell, it is also okay, and it is better than the word fresh.

The mouth is improvised, the stomach really can't stand it, and in less than an hour, Hong Tao tasted the taste of stomach trouble, fortunately, there is a Wang Shi on the side to take care of him, I really don't see that the female spy leader still has the potential to be a maid.

Two days later, Hong Tao finally stopped pulling, so he went to a restaurant in Poyang Town and ordered a basket of hairy crabs. But I didn't let the chef of the restaurant make any more wine and crabs, but took back the Yongping prison station, and let the first warehouse be steamed in a pot, dipped in soy sauce, rice vinegar, orange juice, and minced ginger, and feasted!

"The crab roe can be so delicious, can the master teach me this method?" If you want to talk about tradition, wine splash crab and hand-washed crab are authentic, and Hong Tao's eating method has become an innovation. The ether is eaten faster than a library of steaming, and after eating, I don't forget to ask for the recipe for dipping sauce. In his opinion, this is again the master's stunt, which must be particularly mysterious.

"What do you want it to do?" It's not that Hong Tao doesn't want to give, but he just thinks that the kung fu of the ether is a bit regressive, among the four close-fitting Japanese ronins, his martial arts are the most sparse and the least courageous, and he can stay completely by that mouth, patting the sycophants to spit lotus flowers, without shame.

"The villain plans to open a restaurant in Guazhou Town to sell horse dishes, and there is a lack of signature dishes, this crab is the most suitable!" See, this is the true skill of ether, he opens a fart restaurant, and he can't do cold courgette. But he can say it to make people believe it, and if he slaps it without a trace and solidly, he can't do it if he wants to be uncomfortable.

"Come, take the bronze mirror and take a good look at whether you are the owner!" The sentence "Wearing Thousands of Sycophants and Not Wearing Sycophants" is really true, even if a reasonable person like Hong Tao heard the disguised compliments of the ether, he still can't blame it knowing that it is fake. casually picked up a bronze mirror and threw it over, saying that it was a punishment rather than a reward. This bronze mirror is the heirloom of a famous local mirror maker, and the price is expensive.

A small place in a small place like Poyang Town, and there are also famous mirror makers? Hong Tao didn't know about this at first, he just felt that Raozhou was not under the control of the Huangzhou Society, and Yongping Jian had a new army stationed in it, which was relatively safer, so he chose to use this as the meeting place.

But after arriving, I found that the town is not big, but it is Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, especially Yongpingjian five miles away from Poyang Town, before the implementation of the new policy it was one of the four most authoritative coinage centers in the Great Song Dynasty, even after the new policy was rolled out, Huangzhou gold coins gradually replaced the original monetary system, but before the complete abolition of copper coins, Yongpingjian was still the largest copper coin minting center in the Great Song Dynasty.

Why is this so? There are not only places with copper mines in Raozhou, and there is not even one more convenient than it. The reason is very simple, Raozhou coppersmiths used the bile water copper smelting method for large-scale copper smelting, which made Raozhou the center of copper coinage since the Tang Dynasty, and generations have since studied copper smelting and casting technology.

It is by virtue of these stunts that the small place of Raozhou has always had a place in the field of copper casting. In the most glorious period, the number of copper coins minted from this was as high as more than 600,000 yuan every year, and the entire town of Poyang and even half of Raozhou benefited at the same time.

At present, the two major copper mines under the Yongping Prison, Xinglichang and Leadshanchang, have been taken over by the Ministry of War, and more than half of the annual copper production is used to cast cannons. Most of the mints in Yongheijian were also closed, and their former glory was gone.

However, in addition to minting copper coins, Poyang Town also has a relatively developed industry, which can also be said to be a by-product of the coinage industry, casting copper mirrors. A delicate Raozhou bronze mirror was a well-known brand of the Great Song Dynasty very early before the glass mirror was pounded out by Gao Yu.

For many people in the southeast of Raozhou, the arrival of the new deal and the innovation of science and technology may not be a good thing. The minting industry withered due to the new monetary system, and the mirror industry could be supported for the time being, but with the improvement of glass mirror manufacturing technology, it will soon decline.

The first to arrive was not a commissioner from Kaifeng, but the largest had to be. Wang Er and the others did not swagger along the way and did not notify the local government in advance, but a battalion of the New Army escort team walking in the interior is already considered a very large lineup, except for the border areas, there are rarely such large-scale garrisons in the interior, usually there are only about two platoons in each province and each road, which only plays the role of deterrence and rapid response to control the development of the situation.

It wasn't until he saw the regent that the governor of Raozhou understood what this team of people was here for, and then regretted it. I wanted to show my merits with the central officials, but I had known that the regent was in Yongping Prison, and he wouldn't chase him if he was killed, this one was notoriously difficult.
