Gaoyou Lake hairy crabs
Gaoyou Lake hairy crabs have been famous since the Northern Song Dynasty. Qin Guan, a local sage of Gaoyou and a graceful school of Ci, asked a special person to send his "Ode to the Yellow Mansion" to Su Shi, his teacher and friend who was in Xuzhou at the time, along with Gaoyou's local specialties of windfish, drunken crabs, and Gaoyou's double yellow duck eggs, and wrote a poem, "Send Youyuan, ginger fish, fermented crabs, send Youzi Zhan," in which he wrote: "The belly is filled with purple crab fat, and later the spring is filled with opium. First, the ginger sprouts are fatter than the meat." Qin Shaoyou specially selects purple female crabs with yellow, fat and thick crab shells, which are drunk in a bad sauce. There are also tender and smooth water shield and ginger sprouts of Feisheng meat in a bottle of opium poppy. [4]
