CATDOLL : CATDOLL: Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs are actually crabs that have been washed in water. What is their real cost?

The cost of catching crabs is very low, but after being hyped and affixed with the Yangcheng Lake logo, the value of the crabs has increased several times.

It is understood that the purchase price of high-quality crabs from Gucheng Lake is 95 yuan per catty for male crabs weighing 4.5 liang and 110 yuan per catty for female crabs weighing 3 liang. The supply and marketing cooperatives purchase crabs at a price of 5-8 yuan per catty and then sell them to other areas. According to the crab package sold online, the wholesale price of four pairs of male crabs weighing 4.5 liang and female crabs weighing 3 liang is 318-327 yuan. The price of these crabs will at least double or even triple after being packaged by Yangcheng Lake or other brands.

There are both local crabs and crabs from other places in the hairy crab market. A local 4-liang male crab costs about 50 yuan per catty, and a 3-liang female crab costs about 80 yuan per catty. Crabs from other places are much cheaper. In order to earn more difference in price, many bosses buy all crabs from other places here to pretend to be local crabs, which are "overwater crabs". The freight for transporting crabs from the surrounding Taihu Lake, Gucheng Lake, etc. is extremely low. If you eat by the Yangcheng Lake, you don't need to put on the "anti-counterfeiting ring", so this cost is also saved. The crabs from Yangcheng Lake have a small output but a big reputation, so they are very expensive. The crabs from Taihu Lake, Gucheng Lake, etc. are of similar quality to those from Yangcheng Lake, but the lake surface is much larger than that of Yangcheng Lake, with high output but low price. This price difference gave rise to "overwater crabs".

Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs have become a brand of Chinese hairy crabs, which are very rare and authoritative. Although the quality of hairy crabs from other production areas is not much different from that of Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs, they have not established a corresponding brand effect. Therefore, merchants take advantage of this loophole and sell hairy crabs from other production areas as Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs, which can double the money.

Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs are actually crabs that have been rinsed with water. What is their real cost?

I have my own idea about this topic. Rather than asking how much Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs cost, it is better to ask how much the so-called Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs on the market cost.

Regarding hairy crabs, crab farmers in Yangcheng Lake have made their opinions heard. Even if the hairy crabs from the entire Yangcheng Lake are only supplied to the Shanghai market, they can only sustain consumption for three days. So where do so many Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs from all over the country come from?

This reminds me of another story, which is about a more famous brand, a product that people talk about with relish: 1982 Lafite.

Many friends are curious about what is so good about 1982 Lafite and why it is so popular? In fact, it is mainly because of the low production. In 1982, there was a disaster in the production area, which caused a sharp drop in the production of Lafite that year. So, dear audience, the question is again, isn’t it said that the production is low? Why haven’t we finished drinking the 1982 Lafite after almost 40 years?

Haha, the truth is this: someone registered the 1982 Lafite as a trademark... Haha, isn't it funny? Isn't today's Yangcheng Lake hairy crab a copy of the 1982 Lafite?

The real Yangcheng Lake hairy crab refers to the hairy crab grown in the Yangcheng Lake waters within 113 square kilometers of Suzhou, and it is the hairy crab that meets specific standards. According to this standard, 99% of the so-called hairy crabs on the market are probably counterfeit. How are these counterfeit Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs produced? The following will reveal it to you.

The "Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs" that flood the market are actually "Yangcheng Lake Town hairy crabs" to be more precise. These hairy crabs are farmed in open waters and ponds around Yangcheng Lake. When they are about to be put on the market, they are put into Yangcheng Lake for a bath. The "Yangcheng Lake Town hairy crabs" are transformed into the precious "Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs", commonly known as water-washed crabs.

So how does this kind of hairy crab taste? It is very different from the real Yangcheng Lake hairy crab. There is also a vivid example on the market, that is, Moutai VS Moutai Town. There are many so-called "Moutai wines" on the market, but if you look closely, they are actually "Moutai Town wines".

Why are water crabs so rampant?

The reason why there are so many fakes on the market is that the "Li Kui" is too famous and has a bright reputation. Some people take the risk of using their own bathing crabs to impersonate the real Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs. The breeding cost of bathing crabs like this is much lower than that of real Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs. In order to maximize profits, the survival density of hairy crabs is very high and the living environment is not very good. The hairy crabs grown under such conditions are not only mediocre in taste, but also inferior in quality.

The chaos of "Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs" on the market is actually a deformed form caused by comparison. Many people buy hairy crabs not for their own consumption, and the hairy crab cards have long become a kind of gift card.

It takes about 10,000 yuan to cultivate one acre of hairy crabs!

The high-quality, efficient and pollution-free breeding technology of hairy crabs is as follows:

Creating a good environment to simulate the natural ecological environment is an effective way to improve the quality of pollution-free breeding of hairy crabs. The pond area should not be too small, generally 2 hectares to 10 hectares is appropriate, so as to stabilize the water environment. The water depth is required to reach 2 meters in the deep water area during the high temperature season. The crab pond is made into a ditch shape or a mound is made in the center to form a shallow beach. The area of ​​the ditch accounts for 15%-25% of the pond area. The water source is reliable and pollution-free. The water quality meets the standards of "Water Quality for Pollution-free Food Freshwater Breeding (NY5051-2001)" and can be irrigated and drained. Black calcium plastic plates are used as escape prevention boards on the periphery of the pond, 10 cm into the soil, and fixed with bamboo stakes every 0.7-1 meter. A network card is added to prevent enemies from invading the crab pond. The inner slope of the pond embankment is paved with thick plastic film to facilitate water retention. About 15 days before the crab seeds are released. Clean the pond thoroughly. Use 65kg-70kg of quicklime per acre for a dry pond and 125kg-150kg for a pond with water. After it dissolves, sprinkle the quicklime over the entire pond.

If you want to know more about hairy crabs, it is recommended to consult Crab House Hairy Crabs. Crab House was founded in 2009 and is a national direct-operated chain brand with high-quality hairy crabs as its main product. Crab House's headquarters breeding base is located in Suzhou, Jiangsu, and its operation center is located in Baoshan, Shanghai. It also has more than a dozen direct sales branches in core cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Tianjin, Chengdu, Jinan, Changsha, Wuhan, Chongqing, Xi'an, Hangzhou, Zhengzhou, Hefei, and Shenyang, with customers in more than 300 cities across the country.

Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs are actually crabs that have been washed in water. Its true cost is hard to calculate, but you can definitely earn at least double the cost price from one crab.

The cost of authentic Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs is still relatively high. In recent years, in order to protect water quality and implement the "retirement and return to the lake" policy, the area of ​​Yangcheng Lake crab farming has been reduced again and again. As of now, there are only 16,000 mu of farming area left, which is nearly 90% less than the peak of 142,000 mu of farming area.
