Nine-tiered fairy lotus

Chapter 204 Langfang Bonsai Expo

To go to the Bonsai Expo, there was no way to take the elves there, but Wang Pinqiu wanted to see the elves, so she contacted a zoo near the exposition, where she could temporarily leave the elves when she was busy.

Along the way, Chen Guotao was holding the sword, always on guard against the sprite lying still, but he didn't dare to look into its eyes.Every time the elf turned his head and glanced at him, he would report to Hu Tu: "Hu Tu, you have to keep an eye on your elf, look at its eyes, staring straight at me, as if it is about to pounce on me at any time " Sometimes he said, "By the way, have you fed it, give him more food, don't starve it." He is almost obsessed with this, "We must not starve it, let's not eat You have to feed it first, too."

Besides, they were very happy, chatting about the current situation and the future, and arrived at the venue of the bonsai expo one day in advance - LF City, a city that is very close to the capital, but not very prosperous.The specific location is next to the natural park, where the environment is elegant, the autumn is strong, and there are beautiful scenery everywhere.

After arriving in the evening, Hu Tu first went to the contacted zoo and handed the elf to the director.The living environment here is not bad. The elves are kept in a special oversized cage, like a room, and there is a rockery inside, but it is much smaller than the cage Hu Tu made at home.

Wolves are the animals that this zoo originally wanted to keep, but because wolves are hard to find and keep, the cage has been empty for a long time, and sometimes other animals are temporarily released, disappointing the customers who wanted to see the wild wolves. .

So when the head of the park heard that Hu Tu was going to temporarily send a wolf to the zoo, he was actually very happy, and he didn't need much money. He only thought that he could set up a special attraction to promote it for a few days. .He didn't think about these nonsense, of course, even if he thought about it, he couldn't stop it. He only told people to take good care of the elf and eat good food, so he left without worry.

"Don't look at it." Chen Guotao pulled Hu Tu who had been turning around, "I can't lose it here. People's zoos eat this bowl of food, and the time is not long, so we can't treat the elves badly. Let's do other things first. Don't carry it around."

"Okay. Now that the business is done, Tao Gao, let's eat crabs?" Hu Tu suggested, "I heard that Shengfang crabs are a major specialty here. There are 24 dishes in the Manchu Banquet using Shengfang crabs. Now that it’s here, don’t miss it.”

Chen Guotao swallowed his saliva. He didn't eat much that day, so he was already hungry. "Let's go now. I'm frightened this day. I haven't eaten well. My stomach is already growling."

Shengfang crab, scientific name "Chinese mitten crab", there are more than 300 kinds of crabs in the world's major rivers and lakes, and there are about 20 kinds of crabs that are edible, and the most famous one is this kind, which is also related to Yangcheng Lake and Chongming. The Qingshui crab is as famous as the river crab.

Every year around the Mid-Autumn Festival, it is the peak season for Shengfang crabs.At present, due to the perennial dryness of the river and changes in the ecological environment, Shengfang crabs are rarely seen. However, if you go to Shengfang Town and nearby places during the National Day holiday, you can still eat them.There is a big hotel called Zhengyang Tower in Langfang, which has this main dish.

Every autumn, Zhengyanglou sends special personnel to Shengfang, which is rich in crabs, to buy crabs, raise the crabs in large tanks, and pour egg whites to fatten them up.After one or two days, wait for the crab to spit out the sundries in the stomach, wash it with clean water, tie the crab claws and two big clips with a fine hemp rope, put them in a cage and steam them over high heat.For the convenience of diners, Zhengyang Tower also prepares crab-eating tools such as copper crab tripods, crab hammers, and crab brazing.It's quite professional.

In the store, there are not a few people like Hu Tu who open their mouths to order Shengfang crabs, but not only crabs, he also ordered some local specialties.Sanhe Bean Curd, Sanhe Bean Chips, Sheep Eye Steamed Buns, and a bottle of Yanchao Mingjiu.In fact, crabs go better with rice wine, but they don't care about that.After eating it, I got some melons and jujubes, and I had a great time eating them.

"This crab is really good." Chen Guotao praised, "This Shengfang crab has a big shell and is thin. After steaming, it is yellow and fat, and the meat is tender and delicious. To be honest, it's really not as good as the big crab I ate at your house before." The taste is bad and very unique. It’s a pity that the quantity is too small, and only locally available, so you can’t eat it when you go home.”

After Hu Tu paid attention, he felt that he could cultivate some seedlings of this kind of crab in the space of the lotus platform, and then raise more seedlings in the pond, which would not only make money, but also bring this delicious thing into people's sights again.The more I think about it, the more I think it's feasible.

So, Hu Tu said: "Didn't I hear that the government has put the environmental issues of Shengfang Town on the agenda? Since the past few years, a large amount of special funds has been allocated every year for the environmental management of Shengfang Town. I believe that in the near future, Shengfang crab will reappear in front of people.”

Chen Guotao shook his head and said, "Then I don't know what year and month it will be."

Hu Tu said, "Don't worry, it will be soon."

Hu Tu didn't reveal his own thoughts. After finishing this matter, others will naturally understand his thoughts, which can also surprise people.Live Shengfang crabs are not easy to buy, especially since this is not the place of origin.But if you are willing to spend a little more, you can buy three or five pairs from Zhengyanglou.

When Hu Tu paid the money, he handed over the car keys to Chen Guotao, dismissed him, and bought five pairs of live crabs.On the surface, it went into a corner and put it in a backpack, but in fact it was directly put into the space of the lotus platform, and walked out swaggeringly, no one cared.

They lived in a hotel near the zoo. When they returned, Hu Tu wanted to go to the zoo to see the elves, but unfortunately it was closed.Thinking about it for just one night, nothing would happen, and he didn't care, but the next morning, he couldn't help but ran to the zoo early.

It stands to reason that not many people went to see this zoo in the morning, but today there were more than a dozen people waiting at the gate.Hu Tu is an outsider, and he doesn't know these things. He just thinks that there will always be more people on National Day, so he waits at the door eagerly.

But at this moment, a woman with a cute little girl noticed him by chance and compared them suspiciously with her mobile phone. Then she came over and asked, "Excuse me, is your name Hu Tu?"

Hu Tu scratched his head and asked back: "Beauty, how do you know my name?"

With just one sentence, the people waiting around all looked at Hu Tu. This weird scene made him even more surprised, and he thought: "Could it be that something is wrong? It shouldn't be, I've been very careful. "

The spectators talked about it in a hurry.

A middle-aged woman picked up her mobile phone to take a picture, "You are Hu Tu, oh, you are a celebrity!"

The other person was full of surprises, "You raised the elf? I've seen your photos, but I didn't expect the real person to be so young."

There was also someone who came over to take a group photo, "Haha, I'm so lucky today, I haven't seen a wolf yet, I'll see the more mysterious wolf owner first."
