又到春暖花开时，小龙虾抢“鲜”上市。近日，资阳乐至夜市人声鼎沸，肥美的小龙虾占有一席之地，餐饮店内厨师们不停忙碌，服务员来回穿梭，把一份份颜色红亮、香气四溢的小龙虾端上餐桌。

As spring arrives and the weather warms, crayfish are hitting the market in full force. Recently, the night market in Lezhi, Ziyang has been bustling with activity, with plump and succulent crayfish taking center stage. Chefs in restaurants are busy working, while servers hustle back and forth, bringing dishes of brightly colored, fragrant crayfish to the tables.

“最近吃虾的季节到了，今天专门约了几个朋友来吃小龙虾，味道确实不错，而且价格也实惠。”食客杨先生表示，小龙虾鲜香麻辣，是朋友聚会的不二选择。

“The crayfish season is here, and I specially gathered a few friends to enjoy it. The taste is indeed great, and the price is also affordable,” said customer Mr. Yang. He mentioned that the fragrant and spicy flavor of crayfish makes it the perfect choice for gatherings with friends.

据了解，乐至小龙虾在早春时节成熟，虾肉紧实、口感鲜美，价格按重量而分层浮动，单个重量在4钱左右的小虾，相比单个重量在7钱以上的大虾，两者的价差可达10元/斤。为迎合这波小龙虾的销售旺季，各餐饮店也做足准备，相继推出各式口味，为食客提供多样化的味蕾享受。

Lezhi crayfish mature in early spring, offering firm meat and a delicious taste. Prices vary based on weight, with smaller crayfish weighing around 4 taels costing less than larger ones weighing over 7 taels. The price difference can be as much as 10 yuan per kilogram. To cater to the peak season for crayfish sales, many restaurants have been preparing by offering a variety of flavors, providing customers with diverse tastes to enjoy.

“从今年3月份开始，就进入了吃小龙虾的火爆季节，我们店采用的全是乐至本地的小龙虾。”三妹龙虾餐馆老板罗丽君介绍称，店里每天下午2点就要开始洗虾、备菜，大约6点就有客人陆续到店点餐，每天差不多能卖出300斤左右。

“Since March this year, we’ve entered the busy season for eating crayfish, and our restaurant only uses locally sourced crayfish from Lezhi,” said Luo Lijun, the owner of Sanmei Crayfish Restaurant. She explained that the staff starts cleaning the crayfish and preparing ingredients at 2 p.m., and by 6 p.m., customers begin to arrive. On average, the restaurant sells around 300 kilograms of crayfish per day.

小龙虾成为夜市顶流的背后离不开乐至县对“稻虾生态种养”产业的激发和带动。据统计，截至目前，全县稻虾养殖面积达8000余亩，平均亩产小龙虾250斤，预计今年稻虾综合产值可达4800万元。

The popularity of crayfish in the night market can be attributed to the county’s promotion of the"rice-crayfish integrated farming" industry. According to statistics, the area dedicated to rice-crayfish farming in Lezhi County has reached over 8,000 acres, with an average yield of 250 kilograms of crayfish per acre. The total value of crayfish production is expected to reach 48 million yuan in this year.
