Drunken crab is one of our specialty delicacies in Qidong. <br />Outsiders are often surprised by the preference of Qidong people for it, but Qidong people relish it! <br />I remember when I went to my uncle's house when I was a child, there were drunk crabs on every table. <br />You can have no meat or vegetables, but you must have drunk crabs.<br /> Of course, my uncle wouldn't put so much seasoning, but it was just as delicious! <br />My uncle, who lives by the sea, has a very large "winding net". He often carries it to the sea and makes a "winding" to the shoal. There are lively small fish and shrimps in the net. Marinate it with a handful of salt. It is delicious for a few meals. <br />The Xiaomin Gully, which is scattered along the field in front of the house, is filled with fish, shrimps, and crabs-what a land of fish and rice!

Wrap melons in meat paste and embed crucian carp

I believe many people have eaten and know how to make meat-embedded crucian carp, but the meat-embedded crucian carp in my hometown is different---<br />Just because he mixed "wrapped melons" into the meat filling. <br />What is wrapped melons? -- It is a melon marinated with sweet flour sauce. (A melon specially used to pickle pickled melons. It looks like a cucumber, but it is much bigger. It is not delicious when boiled, so it can only be pickled.) <br />In fact, not many people know about this practice. This practice is very ancient. In the past, only large families would do this. <br />Nowadays, many "farm dishes" in Qidong include carp embedded with meat, but there are no melons.
