Dong Xingwei of the Qing Dynasty has a poem: During the Qing Dynasty, the atmosphere is clear and harmonious, and there are many indiscriminate knife fish entering the market. The most is that wine glasses are forbidden, and cauliflower weather sells field snails. The meaning is simple: qingming, clear and clear, it is a good time to eat fish and shrimp, when drinking, it is most appropriate to accompany the field snail. According to the ancient saying: Qingming snail, to the big goose. It shows the attractiveness of snail meat in the Qingming season, rich in nutritional value, delicious taste, and is the best side dish for drinking wine.
The small field snail has great charm, not only the food of ordinary people, but also the dignitaries and dignitaries are difficult to resist its attraction. There are two reasons why field snails are popular with ordinary people: one is that field snails are rich in nutritional value, cheap, economical, and affordable for ordinary people; second, field snails are easy to obtain, and they used to be in the field, and they were all field snails.
Although the field snail is good, there is a kind of snail, whether it is meat or nutrients, it is far better than the field snail, that is, the mountain pit snail, that is, the nail snail. The mountain pit snail looks similar to the field snail, but there is a difference in essence: first, in terms of appearance, the mountain pit snail body is slender, and the field snail body is rounded; the second is the nutritional value, the mountain pit snail is rich in protein and amino acids, and the nutritional value is higher than that of the field snail; the third is that the mountain pit snail is long, but the meat volume is small, and the amount of field snail meat is large. In addition, the color of the mountain pit snail is richer than that of the field snail, and it is black, green and yellow.
In the past, in the field or in the creek, mountain pit snails were common, and people who did not touch them mistakenly thought that they were field snails, but they were not at all. However, at that time, no one in the village was willing to eat mountain pit snails, and some people thought that mountain pit snails would cause certain diseases. Even if you go out of society, you haven't dared to touch the mountain pit snail for a long time, and you accidentally eat the mountain pit snail, and you hate that you didn't eat it earlier.
According to relevant statistics, the price of mountain pit snails on the market is 10 times that of field snails, and mid-to-high-end hotels can reach 20 times. The price of the mountain pit snail can reach about twenty or thirty pieces, while the field snail only has one or two pieces. A few years ago, I returned to my hometown in the countryside and found that the mountain pit snail that had been abandoned as a walk became a rich snail, and the wild mountain pit snail was rare, and some families became rich because of the breeding of mountain pit snails, and realized their dreams in life.
There are three reasons for the decrease in the number of mountain pit snails: first, people recognize the value of mountain pit snails, market demand increases, and people catch mountain pit snails in large quantities; second, the industrialization process is advancing, the water pollution problem is serious, and the normal survival of mountain pit snails is destroyed; third, the development of modern agriculture, the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, destroys the water environment, and the habitat environment of mountain pit snails is destroyed. It is precisely for the above three reasons that the number of mountain pit snails continues to decline, and the price rises.
Both mountain pit snails and field snails have dropped significantly, mainly due to the destruction of snail habitat by human life. In the process of human development, we must always bear in mind the coordinated development of human beings and nature, and we must not sacrifice the natural environment and develop the economy. Since rice field fish farming and shrimp farming can be done well, rice field snail farming is naturally no problem. As long as you can do a good job of planning, rice snail breeding is not indispensable, to solve two major problems: one is breeding technology, explore a mature rice field snail breeding model; the other is sales channels, the establishment of online and offline sales channels, to avoid the occurrence of slow sales problems.
Combined with the existing market, the demand for mountain pit snails continues to rise, and the price still has room to rise, but there are also risks. The artificial breeding of mountain pit snails is a long way to go, but as long as you are willing to try farming, everything is possible. Do you think the field snail is good, or the mountain pit snail is good?
