Small stone snail, also known as Pit snail and Chuandu snail (new vernacular, meaning bottom and tail). This kind of snail is extremely vital and has no tail. According to "Lu Xi Tong Zhi", "Small stone snail, born in the back stream of Guo En Temple, is shelled and soaked in wine, which is sweet and beneficial to slight summer heat and fever. He produces or has something similar, and the taste is different from the beginning. " Today, delicacies such as "white rice with old chicken and snail in the pit", "Huang Er dish with old ginger and snail in the pot" and "raw fried snail in the pot" made from small stone snails have become the top dishes of emerging farm dishes. Diners not only enjoy its delicacy, but also pay more attention to its dietotherapy function of eliminating jaundice and dampness, soothing the liver and promoting digestion. According to legend, this kind of small stone snail with special posture is also related to Hui Neng, the sixth ancestor. According to legend, Hui Neng, the sixth ancestor, was working firewood in the back of Longshan Mountain when he was young, and he met a girl knocking on the snails of small stones by the stream, so he asked, "Why did the girl knock on these small stones?" The girl replied: "Knock through the snail, add ginger, onion, oil, salt, perilla, etc. and stir-fry. Suck it, and all the meat will come out. It's delicious." Hui Neng, the sixth ancestor, advised, "Everything is spiritual. Hold your breath and let them all go. Maybe they can survive! " The girl felt pity, so she poured all the pebbles into the stream. Strange to say, these stone snails whose tails were knocked off actually survived, and their offspring also had no tails, so they had the delicacies on people's dinner tables today-mountain pit snails.
