Children living in the countryside always have a different kind of fun. Rural species are diverse, many children are "wild" big, some insects are rare toys for rural children, there is a creature called the turtle in the paddy field, that is, it can be used as a child's toy, and let adults love and fear the existence.
Now a turtle is as high as 20 yuan, and 100 yuan can't buy a pound of turtles.
It is relatively large, and its appearance gives people a very frightening visual impact. The carapace is hard and the body is flattened. Many children must be scared when they see it, especially children in rural areas in the south, it is simply their childhood nightmare.
Normally, they will quietly lurk at the bottom of the water or in the grass near the water, disguised as dead grass, waiting for their prey to appear.
Once the prey enters the attack range, they will grasp the prey with their strong forelimbs, and at the same time use their syringe-like mouths to immediately inject the prey with terrible digestive juices, and the caught prey will be instantly paralyzed, and the inside of the body will be corroded by the digestive juices, and then, when the water knows it, it will suck its "juice".
The origin of the name is precisely because its eating habits are very similar to Zhizhi, which is to use its mouthparts to absorb the juice in the rhizomes of plants, which is very similar to Shuizhi to absorb "meat juice". It lives right near the water, so it is called "Mizuchi".
In fact, Shuizhi is a kind of animal that lives in fresh water, is more common in streams and rice fields, and its scientific name is Tian Turtle, and some places also call him Tian Tian Turtle, Water Overlord, Big Water Insect, Osmanthus Cicada, etc
This kind of creature is very common, it is a creature that we rural children are particularly afraid of, and the reason why we are afraid of it is also the origin of another name. The reason why I am most afraid of touching it when I work in the field is that if I bite it, the wound will rot.
Someone once shared a real experience and now it's scary to think about it.
"In the rice field, everyone was working hard, suddenly a scream broke the silence, his barefoot child was lying in pain in the mud, the adults rushed to see what was wrong with their child, and when they found his wounds, the adults hurriedly searched nearby, and finally a man found it.
The man who picked up this thing, just like picking up a treasure, carefully put it away, and was bitten by him, the wound rotted a piece of meat, the soles of his feet were numb and painful, he walked lightly, and he couldn't get off the ground for a week. ”
Someone once had a bite on his finger, swollen like a pig's shoulder, red, swollen and painful, and the swelling only subsided after a week, and then people realized that the water was not easy to mess with!
The reason why he's so good is because when it bites you,
Digestive juices are also injected under the skin, and the heart-rending pain is I'm sure you'll remember for the rest of your life.
There is a saying that if you are not afraid of crabs and snakes, it is that the water knows what it is to be afraid. To put it simply, once the water knows that it bites you, the flesh under your skin will be dissolved and liquefied, and it will rot.
With such a powerful ability, it can make human beings suffer, and it is also known as the "water overlord".
Mizuchi is also known as a frog killer because it likes to prey on frogs that are much larger than its own size. This made the peasants love and hate it, hating it for eating frogs.
Frogs eat insects, are carnivorous animals, and are very large and have good hunting skills, so any aquatic insect is its prey, especially pests.
If the frog is killed, then the crops will be left unprotected, so Shuizhi, who is known as the frog killer, is naturally not loved by the farmers, and the farmers hate it and call it "the turtle". It doesn't just eat frogs, it also eats tadpoles and small fry.
«——【Why artificial breeding?·】——»
In the mainland of Guizhou, Liangguang area, the water knows that there is a well-known name, called "osmanthus cicada", because the body has a fragrant gland can release a fragrance similar to osmanthus, the appearance is a bit like a cicada and get the name.
The name of the osmanthus cicada is very good, and this kind of water is known to be large in size, bright in color, and has a high ornamental value, and some people like it more. There will even be special farms to cater to the viewing preferences of these people.
Of course, this insect is not only fragrant and ornamental, it loves to eat carrion, not only dead fish, but also other dead animals.
When threatened, it will spew out an unpleasant and disgusting mucus that wraps around the whole body, making it impossible for natural enemies to swallow. No matter how disgusting it is, we humans have a way of eating it dry and wiping it clean.
Although it is one of the pests in the eyes of farmers, on the other hand, it has been recognized by another group of people, so that humans can offer it like a treasure.
Like locusts and praying mantises, many insects are a delicacy in people's mouths, and this huge water is naturally a rare delicacy on people's tables.
What's more, it has a thick meat, removing excess internal organs and claws, and the fried barbecue plus itself has a natural aroma, which makes people never get tired of eating it, and the aftertaste is endless.
In this way, Shuizhi has changed from a pest in the mouth of farmers to a beneficial insect that can bring economic benefits. After catching the osmanthus cicada, you should raise it for a few days, and wait for this insect to drain the dirt in your body before eating, so that it is safe and safe to eat.
The value of the water knowledge in the mainland market is very high, and the wild water knowledge is even more "hard to find", and the human beings standing at the top of the food chain can easily determine the future fate of this species.
This insect is widely distributed in the southern part of the continent, and the northerners are simply unable to eat it, but the north loves to eat cicadas.
Humans prefer to eat it rather than raise it. In the past, farmers were very annoying, because it was very common in rice fields and ponds, and it was often attached to aquatic plants to watch for prey, and if you accidentally stepped on it, you would be bitten by it and your foot would rot a piece of meat.
Nowadays, wild toe biting insects have become a rare commodity, and the price on the market is as high as more than 100 yuan per catty, not only because it can satisfy the appetite of human beings.
There are many more effects that delight human beings, and its medicinal value is very high, which is simply a blessing for couples. As the water is eaten more and more, there are still wild in the ridges, and the water is difficult to find, so some people have started the idea of breeding.
Shuizhi is an oviparous animal, the female has a larger belly and less fragrance, and the male has a deflated stomach and less meat.
The market price is 8 yuan 91, and you can buy 251 in some restaurants in Guangdong, which is a relatively expensive cicada. Although the price is good, the people who have eaten it have not said that it is not delicious, boiled, salted, marinated, and fried are particularly fragrant.
This kind of food is suitable for removing the head, pulling out the spines on the tail together with the internal organs, disassembling the wings, chewing together with the shell of the body, there is a natural osmanthus fragrance, the more you eat, the more you benefit, the meat inside is soft, like fruit-flavored osmanthus, sweet and delicious, and the meat quality is very special.
It is precisely because of its deliciousness that even if it is expensive, there are still people who flock to it and spend a lot of money just to eat a bite of fragrance.
As a Guangdong specialty food, Shui Zhi is popular among consumers, and its live retail price has been as high as 8-10 yuan per piece, and the price of a four-person Shui Zhi feast is at least 2,000 yuan.
Although aquaculture can solve the problem of water scarcity, the energy and financial resources consumed by farming are no less than those in the wild. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a method that can raise water with better taste on a large scale, and it can be said that whoever has mastered this technology is a code to get rich.
Shuizhi is mainly distributed in Liaoning, Hebei, Beijing, Shanxi, Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui, Hunan, Hubei, Fujian, Jiangxi and other places in the mainland.
It mainly lives in shallow waters such as swamps, paddy fields, ponds, streams and ditches, and mostly moves among aquatic plants at the bottom of shallow waters.
If you really want to catch it, you must take protective measures, otherwise you will be bitten by it, and you will have to bear it. However, I don't recommend you to catch it.
Now the cultivation of Shuizhi has formed a scale, although it is expensive, but it is not enough to risk in the wild for food, besides, it is rare to see this species in the wild and in the ridges.
The childhood memories belonging to the older generation have passed, and the days of planting rice and catching insects in the fields have long been history.
Water is also the childhood memory of many rural children, there are many children will catch this kind of insect, tied it with a rope, just to watch it climb, I don't know how many people will remember their childhood, those memories of midsummer?
