In addition to the love of birds, another major hobby of Beijingers is to raise insects, especially in winter songbirds.
Oil gourd
In the summer in the wild, all kinds of songbirds call one after another, autumn songbirds are busy producing seeds and in winter there is no sounding insect call, at this time want to listen to the sound of songbirds? This is the worm. Every autumn, the families go to the wild to select insects, bring back the selected insects, produce seeds in the room, and wait for the new part of the insects to be supplied to the market in the winter, which is why you can hear the bugs in the winter.
In the south of Beijing, Zhushikou is north of the Qianmen Dashilar and to the south is the Tianqiao Deyun Society, and in the bungalow protection area of Zhushikou lives a black and white insect family, and everyone is used to calling him @Zhushikou Laowang. Master Wang's black and white worms and gourd smashing skills are extraordinary!

@Zhushikou Lao Wang smashed the honeycomb bottom
Most of the older generation use earthworm dung, old ash paste powder and rice soup to smash the bottom, and now they mostly use triad soil to smash the bottom. The disadvantage of the bottom of the gourd smashed with these materials is that the weight is heavy, the feel is not good and it is easy to shade the gourd and the degree of firmness is also poor, and the insect is not easy to fall to the bottom. After years of pondering, Master Wang invented smashing the bottom with horse honeycomb material. The advantages of the honeycomb base are that it is odorless, light and feels good, and it is durable.
