After Xiao Yue took it, she started to operate confidently. The result may be bad luck, and the first capture failed.

The badminton racket-shaped device flew away before it got too close.

Xiao Yue was a little angry. Even the two children succeeded, but she failed?

Li You smiled and said: "It doesn't matter. It's normal to fail. The success rate of this thing is not 100%."

Xiao Yue nodded.

Try it again, this time you will definitely succeed.

As a result, it was indeed successful.

Xiao Yue was happy and said happily: "It's quite fun."

"Xiaoyue, let me try too. Xiaoyu, Xiaoxi, can I try?" Zhang Ruier said again.

The last half of the sentence is addressed to two children, Wei Yu and Wei Yuxi.

This time Li You made this tool mainly for two children, Wei Yu and Wei Yuxi.

Therefore, if adults want to play, they must obtain the consent of the two children in principle.

When the two children Wei Yu and Wei Yuxi saw so many adults rushing to play with them, they became even more excited and asked the adults to play with them.

Just like this, originally it was just two children who wanted to catch cicadas, but now adults have joined in and they are also vying to experience it.

Including those whose hometown is in the countryside, grew up in the countryside, and used this tool to catch cicadas when they were young.

At this time, I felt the cicada again, and the feeling was not much different from when I was a child.

I thought it was fun when I was a kid. I still find it very interesting now.

Of course, it also has something to do with the crowds and excitement at the scene. If it were just one person, the feeling might be different.

But no matter what, I feel very interesting and happy now.

Everyone will hold the caught cicada in their hands, play with it for a while, and then release it.

Although cicadas are pests, they will suck the sap from tree trunks and leaves, causing the trees to grow poorly. But we can’t bear to kill them.

Moreover, cicadas also play a certain role in ecological balance.

They are food for many birds, insects, and small mammals.

So, let’s let go.

Moreover, these cicadas are already adults, and their life span is very short.

Maybe, after a few days, they will die on their own.

Cicadas have a long lifespan.

However, it refers to their larval stage. Their larvae live underground, ranging from a few years to more than ten years.

When they emerge from the ground, molt and become adults, life begins to countdown.

The shortest one can only live for three to five days, and the longest one can only live for sixty or seventy days at most.

Therefore, cicada can be said to be a very peculiar insect.

"Uncle Li You, look, I found this." Wei Yu ran to Li You and showed Li You something he was holding in his hand.

It is yellowish brown, translucent, and looks like a cicada and hollow.

This is the shell left behind by the cicada larvae after they molt and emerge into adults.

The official name is Cicada Slough.

But many people are used to calling them cicadas like cicada shells, cicada shells, cicada shells, cicada shells, cicada shells, cicada shells, cicada shells, cicada shells, cicada shells, or cicadas.

"This is a cicada shell. It's a good thing. It's a kind of traditional Chinese medicine." Li You said with a smile.

Wei Yu nodded and asked, "Can this kind of cicada shell be sold for money?"

Li You nodded, "Yes, you can sell it for money. When we were young, we would go around looking for cicada shells every summer and sell them for money. They were quite valuable. We used to sell them for more than 200 kilograms. Now.

It’s probably more expensive.”

"We also picked up cicada shells and sold them when we were young. They seemed to sell for more than 200 yuan per kilogram. The price is good, but the weight of a cicada shell is too light. It takes thousands of cicada shells to weigh one kilogram. It is still difficult to find.

of."

"It was fine before. It was not too difficult to find a thousand cicada shells. Now it is really difficult to find a thousand cicada shells."

"It's true. It feels like many things are becoming less and less."

"The main reason is that ecological damage is getting more and more serious now."

"..."

Speaking of cicada shells, the guests who had the experience of looking for cicada shells when they were children all started talking again.

Xiao Yue, Zhang Ruier and other people who grew up in the city are inexplicably envious.

They didn't experience this in their childhood, and they always feel a little regretful.

The two children, Wei Yu and Wei Yuxi, were very interested when they heard the adults talking about this.

After listening for a while, he asked Li You again: "By the way, Uncle Li You. When did the cicada shed this kind of shell?"

"On the night when the larvae crawl out of the ground." Li You replied, "Every summer, those larvae that live underground and have reached their age will come out of the ground in the evening or at night.

Then climb to a nearby tree, hold on to the trunk, and complete the molting. After the molting is completed, the adult will leave, leaving only the shell in place."

So that’s it.

The two children nodded. Then, Wei Yuxi asked: "After the cicada sheds its skin and emerges as an adult, can it fly away immediately?"

Li You shook his head, "That's not possible. After the molting is completed, the cicada's wings can slowly unfold. But at this time, the cicada's wings and body are still very soft and cannot fly. At the same time, the body is still light green. As time goes by

It will slowly turn black as time goes by. At this time, the cicada will slowly climb higher along the trunk. It will climb to a higher place to rest. In the process, the wings and body will slowly harden.

You can fly after dawn the next day."

Wei Yu and Wei Yuxi both nodded repeatedly after hearing this, and were very happy because they had mastered new knowledge.

Many guests were also enlightened. They also gained knowledge.

They didn't understand what Li You said before.

At the same time, some guests said: "Speaking of this, I remembered the scene when I went to the woods at night to catch cicada monkeys when I was a child. Cicada monkeys are the larvae of cicadas. We call them cicada monkeys. Every summer at night, the cicada monkey

There will be many cicada monkeys coming out of the ground. You only need a flashlight and a bucket to catch many cicada monkeys."

"We also caught them when we were children. But at that time we just thought it was fun. We would throw them away the next day after catching them. Now I know that cicadas are actually a very good food and can be eaten. They seem to have quite high nutritional value.

."

Li You said: "That's true. Cicada monkeys are of high value for food and medicine. They can increase the content of high-density lipoproteins that are beneficial to the human body, which is good for preventing cardiovascular disease and improving endocrine system.

Plays a key role. Moreover, it tastes very good."

"To put it this way, it is a pity that the cicada monkeys we caught when we were young were not used to eat them. By the way, boss, how do cicada monkeys usually eat?"

"Fried." Li You said, "The most common way to eat it is deep-frying. Fried cicadas can be said to be a delicacy on the table. However, the name is not pleasant. Therefore, everyone often calls them 'fried cicadas'."

'."

"'Fried Golden Cicada', this name is indeed much more high-end."

"Indeed."

"Boss, are you planning to introduce such a dish?"

Li You shook his head, "Probably not."

"Why? Is it because the ingredients are difficult to prepare?"

Li You shook his head again, "That's not true. Now that we know that monkeys are artificially bred, the food itself is not a problem. It's just that no matter how good it tastes and how high its nutritional value is, it is an insect after all. Many customers dare not eat it.

So, I feel there is not much need.”

"That's right."
