Qin Shiou quickly found out why cicadas were treated like pests.
First of all, adult cicadas feed on tree sap, which damages trees; Secondly, female cicadas usually blow up the bark to produce eggs, and the cicada pupae feed on the sap of the tree until they fall to the ground, so that the young trees will be severely damaged.
Again, after touching the soil, the cicada pupae will burrow in the ground, they will look for the roots, and when they find them, they will start chewing and nibbling, and they will continue to feed on this root for the next seventeen years.
The last time there was a party on Mao Weilong's farm, the crazy lawyer in the neighborhood used this to accuse Mao Weilong and his party.
In addition, Qin Shiou also read it on the news, saying that a group of Chinese aunts in New York were dancing in the square, but they were complained by the locals about disturbing the people, and even the police intervened, thinking that the music they played was noise, and they were all brought to the bureau to drink tea.
These are the harmful sides of cicadas, but what about the beneficial sides? Sorry, no. Thus, when cicadas erupt, it is not surprising that Americans and Canadians consider it a disaster.
After reading these reports, Qin Shiou sighed in his heart, what the hell, who said that cicadas are not beneficial? This is a high-quality food, the protein content is super high, and the shed skin can also be used in medicine, this thing in China is a treasure in the restaurant, and it has become a pest in Canada?
Sure enough, there is no killing without business, and Canadians don't eat cicadas. And eating is the driving force of human work, why is the Newfoundland fishery depleting cod resources? Haven't you been eaten and dried up by humans?
Look at the domestic again. In recent years, there have been fewer and fewer cicadas in various places, and some places even say that they can't hear cicadas in summer. Why? Because the larvae of the cicada know that the monkey will be caught and eaten as soon as it crawls out of the burrow, it will not survive to mate and reproduce.
Seeing the cicada disasters listed in the news, and thinking about the cicadas in the woods of the fishing grounds, Qin Shiou decided that the fishermen would not go to sea in the next few days, and all of them would work night shifts and catch cicadas at night.
When Qin Shiou issued this order, a group of fishermen were dumbfounded, but Winnie knew Qin Shiou's thoughts. Her family and working environment have made her more familiar with the eating habits of Chinese.
Shaq thought that Qin Shiou was worried about the cicada disaster, so he said: "Don't be so troublesome, BOSS, we have a large group of short-tailed shearwaters in the woods, they eat not only fish but also insects, and cicadas are also their food." ”
"That is, if we want to deal with disasters, we can use 100 times more diluted chlorine to kill their eggs and larvae, just spray them on the trunks and leaves. Or treat the soil with pesticides. This makes their larvae unable to survive underground. Nelson also persuaded him.
Qin Shiou waved his hand and said slowly: "What I want you to capture is a larvae, not an adult, but what is the purpose?" Eat! ”
"Eat?" The group of fishermen was stunned.
Qin Shiou recalled the monkey fried by his mother in his childhood. Hehe smiled: "Of course it's eating, it's a very tasty, very nutritious thing, understand?" ”
The fishermen looked weakly at him and wanted to say something. The black knife and the others had already stood up straight and saluted an American-style military salute: "YES, SIR!" ”
It is their duty to carry out orders.
Then the fishermen could not say anything. The bull finally looked at Qin Shiou with admiration and said, "Captain, I have to say something sincerely. You're the man at the top of the food chain! ”
The angry bag looked at the tiger and the leopard worriedly, and asked Bird in a low voice: "I heard that the Chinese eat dog meat, and the boss raised the two of them, won't it be just to eat them?" ”
Bird glared at him and said, "Don't talk nonsense, damn it, the tiger and the leopard are the boss's children!" ”
After hesitating for a moment, he said helplessly: "But the boss also eats dog meat." ”
During the Chinese New Year last year, he followed Qin Shiou home, and saw the heroism of the boss eating dog meat at home, which scared him at that time.
Most Americans don't eat dog meat and consider it unacceptable, but not everyone doesn't eat it.
In the past, in China, Qin Shiou heard that Americans treat dogs as family members, so they don't eat dog meat.
After coming to Canada, he knew, this is nonsense, most Canadians don't eat dog meat, but the reason why they don't eat it is mainly due to religious influence, of course, they do treat dogs as family members and helpers, several reasons are combined, and they don't eat dog meat much.
The Old Testament book of Leviticus 11, verses 2-3, says, "Say unto the Israelites, Of all the beasts of the earth, these are the animals that ye may eat: the beasts that have their hooves and toes and ruminate, you may eat them." ”
Another 11:27 says, "Of all the animals that walk on all fours, you should consider them unclean if they walk on the soles of their feet, and whoever touches their carcasses until the evening." ”
From the Christian doctrine, it is known that people can only eat ruminants such as cattle and sheep, and pigs are also hoofed and toed animals, but they are not ruminants, so they used to eat very little. As for dogs, cats, and rodents, they are neither hoofed nor ruminant, so they naturally cannot be eaten.
In the past, the majority of Christians in white society and the high-status people were almost all Christians, so not eating dog meat became the mainstream voice. Later, this aspect became an unspoken rule, but not everyone obeyed it, and those people in the slums of the United States were hungry, not to mention dog meat, and rats could roast and eat it.
At the beginning of the evening, fishermen and soldiers worked in pairs, leading dogs and bears, with flashlights in their hands, and began to look for cicadas.
Shirley and his entourage are willing to join in as long as there is excitement, happily carrying flashlights and plastic bottles, and also looking for cicadas, Qin Shiou said that it was delicious, and they decided to grab some and come back to taste them.
On both sides of the road to Farewell Island were maple trees, poplars and beech trees, so Qin Shiou asked everyone to follow the road to find it, and not to go to the woods at night, it was too dangerous, in case they accidentally ran into poisonous snakes and beasts.
Qin Shiou walked in the front, and sure enough, there was a plague of cicadas, and sometimes seven or eight could be found on a tree, all of which were scattered and lined up to climb up. There are many faded shells on the surrounding grass and branches, and a rough count of them is estimated to have given birth to more than fifty cicadas in one tree.
Shirley followed behind him, the small flashlight in his hand actually glowed pink, Qin Shiou was also drunk, and asked, "Where did you get the flashlight?" ”
Shirley turned around ostentatiously and said, "This is the prize I got at school, how about it, it's good-looking, right?" Lo and behold, there's Sailor Moon on it. ”
Qin Shiou pursed his lips and said, "It's useless, the color is not right......"
As a result, Shirley looked at the pink light, and then at Qin Shiou, and said a little twisted: "People don't deliberately choose pink light, and pink is not just a temptation and ambiguity......
Qin Shiou was dumbfounded: What are you talking about? I mean, the pink light is wrong, you can't see the monkey clearly!
At this moment, a flashlight suddenly shone through.
Qin Shiou knew that he was walking in the front, and the flashlight shining on his face was not his own person, so he asked, "Who is there?" ”
Shirley nervously grabbed his clothes and asked bitterly, "Could it be that he came to catch the rape?" ”
Qin Shiou: "......" (to be continued......)
