Introduction: This object in the fish pond was once described as "super unpalatable", and now it has become "river fresh", and many people miss it
Summer slips by quietly, leaving little secrets
I can't tell you!
When the time comes to August, it is about to enter the last ambush, and after the ambush, it means that autumn is also coming.
What are you particularly worth remembering this summer?
In fact, whether in the countryside or in the city, summer and summer vacations at home are also very monotonous and tedious, far less colorful than the childhood time of twenty or thirty years ago.
At that time, in the summer, many people often went down to the pond and the river to catch fish and shrimp.
This is something that many post-70s and post-80s people have to experience in their childhood.
This also reminds me of my good memories of picking snails and crabs as a child.
Today, let's have a wave of memory killing, and talk to you about a kind of river fresh in the fish pond, which was disliked by people in the past and no one ate, often used to feed ducks, but now it is difficult to eat but it is difficult to eat, and many people miss it very much.
It is a river mussel, but today it has become a tall "river fresh".
River fresh, of course, corresponds to seafood.
As we all know, the price of seafood is not cheap now. Since the river mussel became a "river fresh", it has also fought a turnaround battle.
Go to the hotel, the farm a plate of leeks fried river mussels, the price will not be less than fifty yuan. Even if it is a fresh river mussel sold on the market, it will sell for five or six yuan a catty.
But in the 1980s and 1990s, 30 years ago, this kind of river mussel was not eaten in the countryside.
At that time, the river mussels in rivers, fish ponds, and reservoirs were much more special. In the summer, children like to touch fish, catch crabs, and of course, many swim under this guise.
In the silt of some fish ponds, river mussels are often stepped on. If the pond has a lot of silt and is very fertile, the river mussels are very large and very large.
It is said that at that time, the river mussels were really large, some of them were larger than the sea bowl, and one or two pounds were one or two pounds. It is also because the river mussels are so large and large that it takes less than half an hour to touch a large basin full of them.
Although at that time, many children's favorite thing to do was to go to the mud of the fish pond to touch the river mussels, but basically few people took it to eat, it was a kind of food that was disliked by people, most of which was used to feed ducks.
After taking it back, put it in a pot and boil it in water for a while, and they will open automatically. Then chop it up with a kitchen knife and throw it to the ducks to eat. They are cute to eat, one bite at a time, a large piece, gobbling up.
Why didn't you love to eat river mussels at that time?
There is a reason for this, first of all, river mussels are not easy to handle.
It is necessary to pry open its shell and take it out, remove the internal organs, etc., but also to clean it back and forth many times, and rub it clean on the cement board, otherwise it will not be eaten.
The second is to cook the river mussel to be delicious with more oil.
Although the mussel tastes good, if the oil is less, it is very difficult to swallow.
However, at that time, the living conditions were not good, and the oil was very precious, and the usual stir-fry dishes were reluctant to put oil.
If in order to eat a meal of river mussels, put a lot of oil, most people are reluctant.
Again, cooking river mussels tests the technique.
Ordinary people really dare not attack the river mussels. Because although the river mussels are very delicious, when cooking, if the technology is not home, it is still difficult to eat.
It may be that the smell is very heavy, or it may be overcooked. It tastes very woody, and it can't be chewed at all.
But river mussels grow in the wild, not only a lot of ants, but also some parasites, must be thoroughly cooked to eat, so it is a test of technology.
In the end, there was not much meat to eat.
River mussels don't look big, but there are very few edible parts. A river mussel can also be eaten in one-fifth of the part. The larger the head, the less you can eat most of it. Often a large basin, cleaned up is just a small bowl, not enough to eat.
And if it is not good, it is very difficult to eat when fried, so after many people have eaten it at that time, they say that it is "super unpalatable".
It is for these reasons that some people who have eaten say that river mussels are difficult to eat, while those who have not eaten them also think that river mussels are "super unpalatable" after hearing them.
So it has become a kind of thing that is rejected by people.
But today, the river mussel has become a kind of "river fresh" that makes many people hungry, and many farms and hotels have also launched this dish, and the price is not cheap.
Because the chef's cooking skills are passed, coupled with the fact that the river mussel itself is very nutritious and the taste is also very delicious, it is loved by many people.
In the fish pond in my village, when the pond was dry at the end of the year, the river mussels alone could pick up hundreds of pounds. But now that they have been contracted to raise fish, they can't see river mussels, and even field snails are very few.
With fewer river mussels, there is a small fish that lives on river mussels , the trout is now rare.
Friends, did you ever touch a river mussel when you were a child? What is it called in your hometown? Welcome to leave a message!
There is a small fish that parasitizes by river mussels, the trout fish, which is now also rare.
