Japanese media: Dipping crayfish and drinking beer, why is it very popular in China?

Japan's Abematime website on August 4th, the original title: Why is "Cooking Cooking Cooking" popular in China? The reporter in China said that "young people like to peel crayfish while drinking beer" as a classic dish in summer, and crayfish are very popular in China. In Qianjiang City, Hubei Province, which is known as the "Hometown of Crayfish", can often see people eating crayfish at the world. Qian Qianyan Shengsheng, the General Director of the China Television, who has interviewed the "Hometown of Crayfish", said: "There are also many crayfish restaurants in Beijing, and I have eaten several times. In China, young people have peeled crayfish while drinking beer. It becomes a fixed way. In the past 10 years, this way of eating has set off a wave. "

Every year from May to August, especially like this summer, it is the season of eating crayfish. Every morning, a large number of crayfish are sorted and sent to all parts of China. During this period, every morning you see the scene of people dealing with crayfish.

In 2021, the total output of Qianjiang crayfish was 172,500 tons. When asked why Qianjiang City was called "the hometown of crayfish", Qianqianyan Shengsheng said that there was a huge crayfish monument in the middle of Qianjiang's streets. There are also local crayfish museums. A university in Hubei even set up crayfish majors.

In fact, China did not have the catering culture of crayfish before. Crayfish was originally a foreign species and entered China about 100 years ago. The origin of crayfish, in addition to Hubei Province, is also found in Jiangsu and Anhui Province. Hubei Province is the terrain of the basin, and there are many lakes and swamps. It can be said to be an area where it is easy to grow in crayfish.

Qian Qianyan Shengsheng said that people will become silent when eating crabs, as well as when eating crayfish. Usually, the talks of the talks will be talked about when eating crayfish (because of focusing on food). Chinese young people like to eat spicy and garlic flavors. The taste is very strong. "But honestly, I don't know what the crayfish itself is." (Translated by Zeng Mao)
