From October 4th to 5th, the reporter went to Suzhou urban area and Yangcheng Lake breeding base for interviews.

On October 5, the reporter came to Yangcheng Lake Beauty Leg Peninsula. As soon as I got to the island, I saw a market specializing in selling crabs. The reporter came to a shed at the intersection and took 4.5 taels of male crab and 3.7 taels of female crab as an example. The store priced at 35 yuan per piece, and the reporter bought 2 pairs of them. There is a big gap between the price in the city the day before.

carry 4 crabs and continue walking in. Many shop owners next to him said that you can buy a card and get someone out of the way or directly negotiate a price for delivery. A crab farmer who seemed to be local told reporters: "Save a WeChat message, I'll give you 20 yuan per person. If it's a bigger crab king, you can add a little more."
Then, the reporter came to the Suca Nong Yangcheng Lake hairy crab breeding experience base, which is less than two kilometers away from the shed. After entering the door, the boss enthusiastically pointed to the artificial crab pond and introduced that due to the high temperature this year, the male crabs are not very good now, and it will be until the end of October. "Look at the size of our crabs. Take 4.5 taels of male crabs and 3.5 taels of female crabs as examples. One box of 10 crabs only costs 1,788 yuan, including shipping costs."

Yangcheng Lake hairy crab boxes and crab buckles are sold at will
On October 4th, at the crabs, crabs, earth crabs and crab industry store on Caishi Street, Dongyuan Road, the boss Chen told reporters: "My family sells Wuzhong local pond crabs, and now basically cannot buy the crabs raised in authentic Yangcheng Lake . For the sake of drinking by citizens Water intake and environmental protection, the lake water breeding area that can support crabs is getting smaller and smaller. The farmland around Yangcheng Lake has been developed into pond crab farming, which refers to lake farming. Locals commonly known as field crabs and pond crabs. "

The reporter pointed to several stacks of boxes printed with "Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs" in the store and asked, "Is this sold?" The boss said that if the customer needs it, it can also be provided. Each box costs 20 to 40 yuan, and is equipped with anti-counterfeiting sign crab claw buckles. Most people from other places cannot figure out these situations. The boss asked the reporter: "Are you giving it to someone or eating it yourself? If you give it to someone who knows how to use an ordinary box."
During the investigation, the reporter found that there are many similar situations in selling Yangcheng Lake hairy crab boxes and crab claw buckles.
The reporter then came to Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs (Suyuan Store) near Tuanjie Bridge in Suzhou and saw the store saying "Qingshui Crab". The store told reporters: "My crabs are cultivated in Yangcheng Lake. They are in Qingshui Village (a village next to Yangcheng Lake), which is the so-called field crabs." At the same time, the store said that there are crab cards of relative prices, and each crab has an anti-counterfeiting closure.


Crab card crab coupon model and price is difficult to identify
Online sales problems
reporters found that in crab shops in Suzhou, most of them can buy crab coupons. There are many types of these pre-made card coupons, some are printed directly on the price, and some have the model written on it. The crab cards purchased on-site negotiated prices are all made in advance, and there are several types, which are marked as 988 type, 1688 type, etc., and the price seems to be, but it is not the case.

The reporter visited major markets in Nanjing again and saw that many merchants were selling crabs.
On October 8, the reporter came to a store called Yunhong Aquatic Products, No. 55, Fenghuang Street, Gulou District, Nanjing. The store door reads "Yangcheng Lake Hairy Crab Nanjing Flagship Store". The store told reporters, "Currently, 4.5 taels of male crabs and 3.5 taels of female crabs are 130 yuan per, and the quality is absolutely guaranteed." The reporter asked about the price of the crab card, and the merchant said that the actual price of the "Luxury C 1388 type" is also 1,388 yuan, including 4 male crabs from 4.0-4.5 taels and 4 female crabs from 3.0-3.1 taels.
However, the "Fuxing Gaozhao 3288" crab card at No. 89, Phoenix West Street, about one kilometer away from the store is priced at 1,958 yuan per copy.

This year, hairy crab sales have more switched to video platforms, but the reporter's investigation found that online sales have problems such as difficult to confirm the origin and only the model of the card without the amount.
reporter saw in the e-commerce platform Zuiwoyangcheng flagship store that the crab card marked "4.5 two male crabs and 4 3.5 two female crabs" was priced at 798 yuan. Consult with the customer service and learned that the product corresponds to 2688 models. The card surface is marked with the model, crab weight, number and pick-up information, but there is no amount. There are activities such as discounts, first order discounts, and free crab coupons for 5 or 1, which is equivalent to RMB 665 after the discount.

In Suhugang flagship store, there are 4 4.5 two male crabs and 4 3.5 two female crabs, marked with a price of 458 yuan. The customer service said that the model is 3188 model, and there are only models and total numbers on the card. The page where the crab is heavy will be displayed when picking up the goods. You can get a discount of 20 yuan per copy by purchasing 20 copies. When the reporter asked if there was no crab weight on the card, how to check and confirm when picking up the goods, and there was a possibility of modifying the system by yourself, the customer service said, "The pickup system is fixed, so modifying it at will not reveal the filling."
The reporter confirmed to multiple merchants whether it was Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs. Most merchants can check the crabs to indicate that the crabs are from Yangcheng Lake. In the live broadcast room of the official flagship store of the short video platform Yangcheng Life, the merchant took out an inspection and test report and stated that each crab had crab deductions. The customer service of Haocaihui Fresh Flagship Store replied to Yangcheng crab, but the customer service did not explain what Yangcheng crab means. It only emphasized that one crab is one code for one code for one, and there is a special anti-counterfeiting code to check.
