reporter Chai Yingying
21 days, the victory Street a stall on the know monkey selling 5 cents one. Reporter Li Pengfei took the newspaper reporter Chai Yingying
on the summer evening, took flashlight to the forest to catch the monkey, and went home to make a deep fried oil with delicious food. However, recently, a poisonous article by WeChat friend circle has caused many people to panic.
the golden cicada is commonly known as the monkey, where is the monkey that we eat? Is it wild or cultured? Is it safe to eat? In fact, in fact, there are almost no places in Ji'nan, where most of the golden cicadas are "foreign households".
"secret" 1: after the cicada lays eggs, the branches will dry up?
Yes. The eggs are produced into twigs, and the withered branches are mostly cicada eggs.
Mr. Peng, who grew up in Linyi, has been living in Ji'nan for many years, but he still has a vivid memory of his childhood. The old people in the family said, "the cicada lays eggs and the branches die." only after that did he understand the secret. When the golden cicadas spawn, the branches do dry up. An experienced old farmer told reporters that the eggs of the monkeys were generally produced in poplar, elm, apple, peach, pear and other trees, and the eggs were produced on the small shoots, so the eggs of cicadas were usually on the dry small shoots. "
" cicadas is a young twig with a stern stings into one year, and the egg is produced in the branch, mostly with fruit trees and other juicy branches. After laying eggs, the branches will dry up, so most of the green and dry branches of the lower end have cicadas eggs. " Experts in the forestry sector say that cicada is a pest by sucking the juice from the roots and branches of trees, but now we prefer to treat it as a delicacy.
"secret" 2: will breeding cicadas feed?
will not. Fat and thin are different because of different trees. Usually there are more meat in fruit trees.
there are a lot of people in the interview. Why do some of the monkeys eat meat fat, and some are very dry?
a reporter in an exchange group for the aquaculture technology of the golden cicadas has experienced the experienced farmers, Zhu. He said, now there is no complete artificial breeding cicada, cicada eggs are "wild", and some people specialize in collecting cicada eggs and selling them. People who breed cicadas need a forest and the roots of the trees are developed so as to provide rich "nutrients" for the eggs of the cicadas. "No feed, no such statement." Mr. Zhu said that he had had a golden cicada for many years. He felt that the fat or not of the cicadas was mainly related to the variety and growth of the trees. "The golden cicadas are generally better, and the golden cicadas in the fruit trees are more meat than the ordinary trees."
"secret" 3: put the water in the cicada will not molt?
Yes. In order to prevent molting, it is usually soaked in clear water or ice.
the old people also circulated a saying that the golden cicada "does not molt in the water." On the 21 day, the reporter saw in the doorway of a seafood restaurant. The golden cicadas and ice cubes in the foam box were put together in the water. The shopkeeper said it was to prevent the molting.
reporter learned that the cicada shedding speed is very fast, if not put in the water in time, it is likely to be transported or preserved in the molting, so the old people usually put the captured cicadas into bottles, soaked in salt water, and now they are normally put into the freezer and frozen in water for 1 to 3 days. If long-distance transportation is carried out, the wings will not grow up after reaching the destination.
"in fact, there is another function in the water." Mr. Zhu told reporters that they prevent them from scratching each other, but also prevent them from getting black. They can also be preserved for 3 days in a non frozen state, so they don't put drugs like them in the water.
"secret" 4: is it true that the news is toxic?
controversy. Although it is published by foreign research institutions, it has never been confirmed in China.
know the monkey in a lot of people's heart is a delicious, but recently a friend round the net a message, "how dare you know how horrible you dare to eat monkey"? It mentioned that the United States detected the content of heavy metals in the monkey, and the nutrition is not as rich as the legend.
this information has caused a lot of panic. However, although the news seems to be justified, the relevant department experts say that although it is issued by foreign agencies, there is no scientific basis for the news at home, and it can not prove that the rumors are true. At present, the food source of cicadas is mainly the juice of trees. Ms. Wu, the citizen of the city, said
the original title: it is difficult to confirm that the venomous rumours of the net biography of the cicadas are still difficult to prove that most of the monkeys in Ji'nan are "foreign households", and they have taken her to grasp the monkey from a small family.
"secret" 5: do we eat cicadas when they are real estate?
No. There are no special breeding bases in the area, especially from Anhui.
21, the market price of a Jin Jin cicada from seafood market is from 50 yuan to 58 yuan. The responsible person, although the cicadas are very popular, but the Ji'nan real estate is very few, the seafood market is about 5000 Jin per day, these golden cicadas are "foreign households", from Anhui.
reporter saw in a vegetable market vendor that the cicada price was 58 yuan a kilogram. The boss told reporters that selling a single 6 cents, a catty of about 100. In a restaurant, the price of a golden cicada with a quantity of around 16 yuan is 28 yuan, and the barbecue price of a string of 4 cicadas is 7 yuan.
the seafood market management office said this year, the "price" of the cicadas was higher than last year, 48 yuan per Jin last year, 58 yuan per Jin this year, and 10 yuan per Jin on the whole. Ji'nan also has golden cicadas, but most of them are small scattered households, they have caught themselves to eat, it is difficult to form a scale, so the current or foreign cicadas.
related links in the city do not find this "fun" to recall
Mr. Yuan, like this man to middle age, he wrote in his article "the cicada", "cicadas, once my summer theme." Most children from rural areas have more or less stories about cicadas. "
however, nowadays he lives in the city and seldom enjoys the pleasure of catching monkeys again. The children in Ji'nan can only occasionally catch their monkeys under the guidance of their parents. They find it hard to find them in the city.
