My uncle said mysteriously that he would take us to a place which was delicious and interesting. We thought he was making a mystery, wondering what is good or bad now, aren't they all the same? It's nothing more than eating, singing and bar hopping. Finally, we knew that we were driving to the long-cherished Meiren Leg Yangcheng Lake Peninsula.
Every autumn season, crabs are the delicacies that make people drool. My mother and I have been looking forward to going to Yangcheng Lake to eat hairy crabs. This lotus island trip is really worthwhile, satisfying both our eyes and mouth!
The car drives on the peninsula, Suzhou Yangcheng Lotus Island, with lush trees on both sides. Occasionally flashing before your eyes are some words like agritainment and hairy crabs, which are probably used to attract tourists from other places to stop and eat. The sky is clear and the lake surface is calm. How can I not be excited?
Take the speedboat, and the mirror-like lake surface will become lively. Snow-white water drops splash on the windshield of the speedboat from time to time. The speedboat in front is moving forward at a high speed, and occasionally raises an artificial wave more than one meter high. Then the speedboats behind begin to bounce up and down in the waves, and we scream in panic.
Looking far away, you can vaguely see the buildings on land, and nearby, there are nets set up by hairy crab farmers. I can feel that we are weaving forward in the net, feeling like walking through a huge water maze.
We walked into a restaurant called Chengyi Crab Garden. My uncle ordered a table of fresh lake dishes, including lively mandarin fish, huge breams, delicious-tasting screws, and tender and crisp red caltrops. Of course, the most eye-catching are those bright yellow crabs. I heard that the boss here used to run agritainment, specializing in eating vegetables grown at home and aquaculture products raised in the lake. In recent years, because of the good business of hairy crabs, he also contracted more than 100 mu of water surface for special hairy crab breeding. Not long after sitting down, the boss started serving the dishes. It seems that his friend had prepared in advance. His home-style dishes are really delicious: fried screws, home-style salted duck eggs, boiled broad beans, stir-fried baby greens, home-style chicken soup, scallion-braised eel, steamed mandarin fish, homemade dried fish... We ate so much that we were full, but still felt unsatisfied, haha, it's really enough to satisfy our cravings.
After tasting the delicious hairy crabs, we took a walk around the small lakeside island and saw emerald sweet sugarcane, snow-white reeds, huge windmills, and rare silver osmanthus.
