Loach is one of the common animals in rural areas, and it is also a food that is put on the table in summer to improve the diet, its meat is delicate, delicious and nutritious.

The reason why loach is popular is because it contains high-quality protein, fat, vitamins, niacin, iron, phosphorus, calcium, etc., which has the effect of replenishing and benefiting qi, clearing urine, detoxifying and collecting hemorrhoids, nourishing the kidneys and generating sperm, especially suitable for people with weak body, spleen and stomach deficiency and cold, malnutrition, and night sweats. In particular, it contains an unsaturated fatty acid similar to docosapentenic acid, which is beneficial to the body's anti-aging. Loach is rich in nucleosides, which are the main components of various vaccines, which can improve the body's antiviral ability, especially suitable for people with acute and chronic hepatitis and jaundice, and can promote the decline of jaundice and aminotransferases.

Moreover, it is recorded in the "Compendium of Materia Medica" that loach has the effect of warming and invigorating qi, "replenishing the middle and stopping the discharge". It also has the effect of delaying aging, and is known as the reputation of ginseng in water.

Of course, the above words are all things that have been officially researched, and in Zhao Ziqiao's understanding, loach is equal to two words.

"Delicious!"

In particular, when you make a soup with loaches, there is something like jelly floating on the soup noodles, and then you eat it with a spoonful of soup and meat, and the taste is simply beautiful!

Licking his lips slightly, Zhao Ziqiao secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva and stepped back temporarily. Back on the grass, Zhao Ziqiao took off his shoes, rolled up his pants, and poured a mouthful of mineral water into his stomach, and he ran directly into the wetland.

Catching loaches, this kind of activity, Zhao Ziqiao had to do it for a period of time every year when he was a child, especially after the rice in the rice field was harvested, at that time, it was their favorite operating platform.

Loaches can live in rice fields without water, every time there is no water in the rice fields, Zhao Ziqiao will carry a hoe when he was a child, carry a small bucket, go to the field to dig loaches, see a loach hole, a few hoes down, you can find the loach hiding in the soil, of course, more often, is to drill into the loach hole with your fingers, when you touch the loach's body with mucus, that is the most sense of achievement, the moment of harvest.

In a field with water, Zhao Ziqiao has also caught loaches, but catching loaches in a field with water increases the difficulty coefficient a lot, often when you touch a loach, the loach will drill to the side in the next moment, making it difficult for you to catch it, which is also the origin of 'slippery like a loach'.

Down to the wetland, Zhao Ziqiao went straight to the location where he found the loach just now, like this kind of field with water, you want to catch the loach along the loach hole, it is almost difficult to catch, the simplest and fastest way is to directly turn the muddy water together, as long as there is a loach in it, it is difficult to run.

Zhao Ziqiao inserted the empty mineral water bottle into the mud on the side, and scooped up the water with both hands in the small water beach.

A piece of soil was turned up, and water began to gush out of the hollow formed, and Zhao Ziqiao saw that there was no trace of loaches in the turned up soil, so he began to turn over another piece of soil.

After a few consecutive flips, a thumb-sized loach with a black back and a yellow abdomen suddenly came out of the turned out soil, and slipped directly into the pit that seeped a lot of water before Zhao Ziqiao was ready.

Zhao Ziqiao found its traces, how could he let it run away, almost instantly, he inserted his hands into the muddy water, and intercepted the loach's escape path with both hands.

After intercepting the loach's escape path, Zhao Ziqiao slowly began to recycle the net, and when he felt a living creature touch it in the middle finger of his left hand, he smiled on his face, this loach can't run away.

When Zhao Ziqiao's hand was about to get out of the muddy water, the ill-fated loach also showed its shape, thinking of drilling into the dirt to avoid the fate of being caught.

But under the thin layer of silt, it is Zhao Ziqiao's hand, how can it drill down?

Zhao Ziqiao slowly closed his hands, and finally held the loach in his hand, and then got up. Looking at the thumb-sized loach in the palm of his hand, which was half the size of a palm, he couldn't help but say, "It's so big." ”

Ordinary loaches are only two-thirds of the length of this loach at most, and the loach that has not grown up is only one-third of its thickness, and it is the first time in the history of Zhao Ziqiao to catch loaches.

With muddy water, put the loach in his hand into the mineral water bottle, as soon as the loach arrived in the bottle, it began to swing up, the bottle was hit by it with a loud sound, and the bottle body shook a little, as if it would be knocked down at any time.

Zhao Ziqiao grabbed the bottle that was hit by the loach, stared at the loach inside through the mud-stained bottle, and said with a smile: "Want to run, don't be delusional!"

Grabbing the bottle, Zhao Ziqiao began to move forward, and before he took two steps, a stream of sewage suddenly appeared on the ground, and Zhao Ziqiao stopped when he saw the small hole in the water bubbling out.

Eighty percent of this hole is a loach cave, and just now he walked over, and the pressure directly pressed out the water in it.

This hole is higher than the water surface, and the soil is relatively dry, Zhao Ziqiao naturally will not follow the routine just now, he fixed the mineral water bottle on the side, and gently picked the surface of the hole with his index finger, and the next moment, a hole nearly three times larger appeared in front of him.

Seeing this hole, Zhao Ziqiao smiled, and as he expected, this was a loach cave. The hole just now, which was only the size of a bamboo skewer, was the camouflage hole left by the loach when it lived in the water.

The finger poked along the entrance of the cave, the cave was not in a state of going straight to the end, but slightly tortuous, but for the current environment, the twists and turns in the cave were not a problem at all for Zhao Ziqiao, and the fingers poked down hard, and the sheep intestine path immediately became a sunny avenue.

I probed the length of my whole finger into the mud, but except for feeling the presence of water, I didn't touch the loach's body at all, and I didn't feel the end of it.

Zhao Ziqiao felt this situation, immediately withdrew his fingers, and cleaned up the soil above the loach cave with both hands, in order to prevent the water from pouring in from outside, Zhao Ziqiao made a simple small isolation of the cleaned soil on the periphery, with the barrier of this soil, he was not afraid of water pouring in.

However, in the process of cleaning up, he blocked the loach hole, and for the time being, he couldn't tell where the cave was and where was the mud without the cave.

Zhao Ziqiao is not worried about this small problem at all, even in the real world, when he catches loaches, he often encounters this situation.

Stirring the soil with his fingers at the approximate position, a small piece of dirt fell down after a while, and when he saw that place, Zhao Ziqiao directly poked it down with his fingers.

The muddy water gushed out all of a sudden because of the sudden entry of Zhao Ziqiao's fingers, and Zhao Ziqiao also felt the slippery feeling coming from the end of his fingers.

"There it is!" The feeling transmitted back from the tips of his fingers made Zhao Ziqiao happy for a moment, and the next moment, his fingers began to hook out in the cave.

Hooking out, it is not necessarily able to hook the loach out, but with that action, after the loach is frightened, it will subconsciously crawl outside the cave, so that Zhao Ziqiao can catch it.

After hooking his fingers in the cave a few times, Zhao Ziqiao clearly felt that the loaches were about to start crawling out, and sensing this situation, as a veteran of catching loaches, he would naturally help.

After feeling that his fingers were very tight with the inner wall of the cave, Zhao Ziqiao pulled his fingers outward, and the loaches that were originally in the cave also flew out at once according to the force of Zhao Ziqiao's fingers.

Seeing the loach that fell in the pit, Zhao Ziqiao smiled with satisfaction, the individual was not much different from the one he had just caught, and he looked very feeling, and the loach that was taken out of the cave at this moment was trying to find a place to hide, writhing his body uneasily.

Zhao Ziqiao looked at it like this, as long as it was not in the muddy water, he was very relieved, with the burrowing ability of this loach, Zhao Ziqiao could let it for two minutes! What's more, the current soil is dry, and he is completely a must-win situation for catching turtles in an urn.

Seeing that half of the loach's head was drilled into the dirt, Zhao Ziqiao didn't plan to play anymore, if he really wanted to be drilled into the dirt by it, he still had to work hard, it was not cost-effective.

Reaching out to pinch the head of the loach, Zhao Ziqiao leaned over the mineral water bottle on the side, and cooperated with both hands to put the loach in.

The reason why it is necessary to pinch the position of its head is that relative to the body, the position of its head will secrete less mucus, and there are gills, which can increase friction and grasp more.

Two loaches fell into the bottle, almost filling the bottom of the bottle, and there was already a loach in the bottle earlier, and now there was a circle of white bubbles in the bottle.

This masterpiece is naturally the first loach in the bottle, and their survivability is much stronger than that of other fish, and they can survive for a period of time with less water and less oxygen. Moreover, the ancients invented a term called 'foaming each other' based on their behavior of spitting bubbles and surviving each other.

In today's terms, it's awesome, my loach brother!

Catching two loaches, it didn't take any effort on Zhao Ziqiao at all, he looked at the surrounding environment, and then looked at the bottle in his hand, if you just catch a few loaches, you are embarrassed to take it home.

Shaking the bottle in his hand, Zhao Ziqiao said softly: "No matter what, I have to catch a plate of vegetables and go back!"

Thinking of this small goal, it should not be difficult to achieve, Zhao Ziqiao began to move forward again, he wanted to add dishes to today's table!
