Guide: Here is "farming to see farmers", sharing rural new things, agricultural products market, sharing rural interesting things every day. Today our theme is "a kind of underwater "tiger" in the countryside, which is becoming more and more rare, and some people sell for 70 yuan a catty"
With the development of society, the pace of rural development has also accelerated. The biggest change in rural areas is the living conditions, but while the living conditions are constantly improving, there are also many precious things that have unconsciously left us.
30 years ago, I remember that every household had cattle, and whenever school was over, the fields were herding cows, but now, there is not even a single cow in rural areas. In some areas, people raise cattle, which is completely for the purpose of beef cattle, and few people raise cattle to cultivate the land.
Cattle have been replaced by modern machinery, and some precious things have not been replaced by mechanization, but have been endangered due to the development of the social environment. In the past, tigers could occasionally be heard about in the countryside, but now tigers are completely pets in zoos, leaving the natural world and changing their nature.
In the past, in addition to the real tigers in the countryside, there is also a kind of "tiger" living under the water, and now it is becoming more and more rare, some time ago I saw someone selling in the market, a pound sold to 70 yuan, it is simply a rare commodity. This "tiger" under the tree, some people in rural areas also call it creek grouper.
In fact, the scientific name of the creek grouper is called Shatang snakehead, and strictly speaking, the creek grouper is also called grouper, but in order to make a distinction with the sea grouper, it is called the creek grouper. Xi grouper is a small fish in the freshwater region, only five inches long, with delicate flesh and fresh boiled water. This kind of creek grouper is mainly distributed in small rivers in The mountainous areas of Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Fujian and other mountains in China, and it is not as widely distributed as the horse mouth fish and mosquito-eating fish. So much so that today, people in the origin of Xi grouper cherish it.
This kind of sand pond snakehead is also more interesting to live in the water, other people's fish like to live on the surface or in the middle, but it likes to live under the water, so people usually call it the ground tiger, commonly known as the underwater "tiger". If you count the names of this tiger, there are many of them, and all I know is the four different elephants, the meat cone, the dumb fish, the toad fish, the pond snake, the sand snakehead, the native fish, the stupid fish and so on.
The shape of this fish is somewhat similar to the color of the sand and gravel under the water, like a natural pretender, if we do not get close to the water or enter the water, it is really difficult for us to see the tiger lying motionless under the water with the naked eye. In addition, one of the reasons why it is called a tiger in the water is that although this fish is small, its habits are very fierce, and generally small fish may become its prey.
When we were young, we had certain skills in catching the tiger, and the general ordinary fishing was nothing to do with it, and the tiger was most afraid of dustpans. One of the children stood at the mouth of the water and stopped it with a dustpan, and then the other person stepped on the water from the other side to drive the tiger to the dustpan, and finally lifted the dustpan with a bang, and most of the tiger was fished out of the water.
But now the tiger can no longer be fished like this, and can only leave us with such a beautiful experience. At present, the resources of the tiger are getting less and less, and various electric fish and fishing in rural areas have accelerated the extinction of various wild freshwater fish. Occasionally seeing someone selling on the market will always cause consumers to rush to buy, and it has become a completely rare commodity. I wonder if you know this kind of crouching tiger? Did you catch a crouching tiger when you were a kid? Welcome to leave a message to tell your views, this article is only the author's personal opinion, for reference only. Image from the web!
