No.260 A dog (mole cricket)

The remaining honey and morels in the trunk of the car were moved to the utility room specially vacated by Zhang Hui's house and put them away.

opened a live broadcast and sold some local specialties, Zhang Hui put a lot of things on the shelves in the little red car, and with the increase of fans, the amount of sales is getting bigger and bigger, and he can't put it without a special place.

In this regard, Zhang Guanghua and his family have no opinion at all, after all, they can make money with their eyes, and the money they make is much more than the barbecue stall they set up at night, which is the most real.

"Stay and eat in the evening!"

After the end of the transportation of things, Zhang Guanghua rarely opened his mouth to keep guests.

"Don't you still have to go out of the stall, so you won't be troublesome!" Wang Mingyuan didn't want to delay Zhang Guanghua.

"After eight or nine o'clock in the evening, there is the peak of customers, and now the stall has been set up, and Zhang Hui's mother is taking care of it, I will just go over to help, and I can't miss something."

Zhang Guanghua waved his hand, and then said very mysteriously: "It just so happens that I went to the field by the river yesterday evening to set a trap, and I didn't have time to see it today, if you're lucky, I can let you eat something good tonight." ”

"What's the good thing?" Wang Mingyuan asked.

Zhang Guanghua sold Guanzi: "Just follow me to take a look, this thing costs more than 100 yuan a catty, and it is not easy to eat it once." ”

More than 100 yuan a pound of things, still caught in the field, Wang Mingyuan couldn't think of anything that matched this statement for a while, but he was also interested.

Zhang Hui, who hid in his room when he returned home, also followed out with a single-lens reflex when the two were about to go out.

Depending on the situation, she obviously knew what to do.

"What the hell is it?"

When the three of them left the house and walked towards the field, Wang Mingyuan deliberately left a distance and asked Zhang Hui who was following behind in a low voice.

Zhang Hui smiled: "Don't you usually watch the videos I posted on cat's paw videos?" ”

Wang Mingyuan was slightly stunned, to be honest, after this matter was handed over to Zhang Hui, he really didn't care much about it, and the main thing he paid attention to was how much fans were worth.

After being reminded by Zhang Huiyi, Wang Mingyuan hurriedly took out his mobile phone and began to look through the video.

Since it was a trap yesterday evening, it must be a short video that was newly released not long ago.

"Usually, you don't go to the bee farm every once in a while, you always run to Mingcheng, you don't have so many video clips, and you can't honestly repeat those old-fashioned things, watch the video, the picture is fresh, so, I have no choice, I have to pull my dad and make my own materials."

Zhang Hui said with an aggrieved face: "With such an unreliable guy as you, I really have poured blood mold for eight lifetimes." ”

After Wang Mingyuan laughed dryly, his eyes fell back on his mobile phone, rummaging through the video, and soon, he found the video released this morning, which was yesterday evening, the video of the father and daughter setting a trap - trapping the earth dog.

Dirt dogs?

Wang Mingyuan was slightly stunned for a moment, and quickly reacted, this is not a domestic soil dog that people often say, but a kind of insect, its real name is mole cricket.

For this kind of insect, Wang Mingyuan saw it in the vegetable field of Zhangjiaao when he was a child, and when he followed his grandfather to dig the vegetable field, he also caught it and played with it.

This is a very interesting bug, about the size of a cricket, with a big head, a whole body of brown color, a pair of large flat front feet, very powerful, digging soil on the ground, quickly drilling into the soil, that is his unique skill.

It is said that this peculiar structure was also used to resemble a tunneling machine.

Wang Mingyuan's favorite thing to do when he was a child was to chase it with a small stick, constantly pulling it out of the dirt, and then driving it to continue drilling into the soil.

Or grab it in your hand and let it squeeze between your fingers, which is very interesting.

In the video, Zhang Guanghua dug a pit in the weeds by the river with a hoe, used a large plastic bottle filled with cooking oil, cut the part of the bottle mouth like a funnel, placed the bottle in the pit, flush with the ground, and then spread a piece of oilcloth on it, opened it in the middle position, exposed the bottle, and then used the cut part to buckle it upside down to form a funnel.

Mole crickets are powerful in the soil, but in the smooth plastic bottle, there is obviously no place to exert force, and once it enters the funnel, it can only slide down the bottle from the mouth of the bottle to the bottle.

Zhang Guanghua dug a soil groove around the oilcloth spread on the ground to press the gap, and then sprinkled something in the bottle.

Later, he inserted several sticks above the funnel, placed a headlamp for lighting, lit it directly opposite the mouth of the funnel, and hung a small tape recorder on the stick, repeating the crickets' calls.

Wang Mingyuan took a look at it and quickly understood Zhang Guanghua's intention in placing these two things.

Soil dogs are more accustomed to nocturnal activities and have strong phototaxis, so light trapping is one of the methods.

As for the cry, it must be a lure.

Wang Mingyuan checked it with Du Niang and knew that from mid-April to early May, it was the active period for the breeding and matching of local dogs.

As for the things that are sprinkled in the bottle, they should be fried bean cakes and other things that exude a fragrance, which is also a trap. Usually, mole crickets prefer smells such as horse manure, and of course, sweet tastes are also good.

Lights, sounds, food, all the means that can be used have been used, and after this night, are the surrounding dogs still alive?

It's a great way to do it!

It's just that Wang Mingyuan is very worried, after this night, he didn't go to recycle it in the morning, and he waited until the evening, and these things were still there.

At the same time, he is very much looking forward to the harvest.

To a large extent, the soil dog is a proper pest, often hiding under the soil, feeding on the young stems of plants and crops, and the harm is not small.

However, the earth dog is also an animal-based traditional Chinese medicine, which is used to treat all kinds of water, urinary stones, nephritis, tuberculosis and other miscellaneous diseases.

The most important thing is that it can really be eaten.

Rich in fat, protein and various amino acids, it has become a treasure on the table, coupled with its medicinal properties, Zhang Guanghua said that more than 100 yuan a catty, that is still low.

In some places, a pound of dry products has even reached the level of hundreds or thousands.

Some people have even begun to professionally breed mole crickets for food and medicinal purposes, but the price is much cheaper than these wild ones, and it is a relatively unpopular breeding.

The three of them came all the way to the place where Zhang Guanghua set a trap by the river, and Zhang Hui started the video recording early.

Thankfully, the trap was fine, and the headlamp and tape recorder were still there.

It's just that, after such a long time, the lights have long since gone out, and the tape recorder has no sound.

The two took a closer look, and Wang Mingyuan saw that there were at least two or three hundred earth dogs in the bottle, crawling constantly inside the bottle, rubbing against the plastic bottle to make a noisy sound, and he couldn't help laughing: "This harvest is not small!" ”

Zhang Guanghua shook his head: "I still think I can get more, pesticides and fertilizers and other things are used a lot, and this soil dog is not as much as before...... However, it is enough to eat a meal. ”

He quickly took out the earthen dog, Wang Mingyuan helped bring the tarpaulin, headlamp and tape recorder, and the three of them returned to Zhang Hui's house together.

Next, Zhang Guanghua poured wine in the basin, drowned the earth dog, and used scissors to remove the wings of the earth dog, which was more like a foil in Wang Mingyuan's eyes, picked open the abdomen, and pulled off the intestines inside.

The delicacy of insects is often troublesome in cleaning and handling, and it is a very patient task.

Wang Mingyuan also dragged a stool to help, while Zhang Hui took the time to shoot some clips, and was busy cooking and cooking.

can be regarded as having eaten a lot of insects, Wang Mingyuan no longer has the initial resistance to this kind of food, even if he has not eaten it, his ability to accept it is much stronger.

It took nearly half an hour to clean the earth dog and put it in a colander to control the moisture, Zhang Guanghua began to prepare some ingredients, boiled oil from the pot, fried the earth dog until it was golden and crispy, and then returned to the pot to add some ingredients to stir-fry.

The meal was cooked, and the three of them ate together, Zhang Guanghua specially poured Wang Mingyuan a glass of soaking wine brewed with plums and rock sugar, which was sweet and sour, but not so difficult to swallow.

Considering that he would have to drive back to the apiary, Wang Mingyuan still poured most of the soaking wine back, just meaning it.

It's just that when it comes to really eating, Zhang Guanghua is a little overly enthusiastic, and constantly picks up the delicious food made with earth dogs into Wang Mingyuan's rice bowl, and the situation is like wishing that Wang Mingyuan would eat all these earth dogs alone.

Even Wang Mingyuan, who is not prone to protein allergies, felt that his scalp began to itch slightly after eating a lot, and when Zhang Guanghua tried to bet on the dish again, Wang Mingyuan hurriedly refused: "I can't eat anymore, if I eat it, I should take a bag on my body." ”

Zhang Guanghua glanced at Zhang Hui, who went to the kitchen to add food, dragged the stool, sat next to Wang Mingyuan, and said in a low voice: "Eat more, this thing can be aphrodisiac!" ”

What?

The corners of Wang Mingyuan's mouth twitched: This is an ulterior motive!
