Chapter 399
Methods to catch cicadas
This small forest is very lush and full of lush trees.
Of course, this is also Zhizhi’s favorite place to visit.
It happens to be evening now, and the sound of cicadas can be heard all the time.
These cicadas are called Zhenghuan.
Ye Chen saw that there were many cicada shells under the tree.
These are cicadas that came out of the ground and were taken off.
It seems to be called Chanyi.
I heard that this is a very good medicinal material.
Ye Chen remembers that when he was a child, when he had no money to buy snacks, he would pick up cicada shells and sell them to buy popsicles.
"You are here to catch cicadas. Don't run too far."
After all, it's almost dark now.
There is nothing going on in this jungle during the day, but as soon as it gets dark, poisonous insects and snakes come out.
After Ye Chen warned, the children dispersed and started catching cicadas with tools.
We know that this kind of animal reacts very quickly during the day.
As soon as night comes, he doesn't want to move anymore. He lies on the tree like a lazy man and basically doesn't move.
The best time to catch cicadas is also in the evening, around seven or eight o'clock.
Cicadas at this time are the best to catch.
Ye Chen hasn't caught a cicada for a long time.
He looked around, and soon his eyes locked on a big tree.
This is a locust tree more than ten meters high.
This tree grows very lushly.
Ye Chen decided to start catching cicadas from this tree.
He turned on the drone and started live broadcast.
Ye Chen rarely broadcasts live during this time period.
Therefore, many fans were very surprised when Ye Chen started airing.
So, the fans all flocked in.
"Brothers, is it unexpected? Haha, Lao Ye is live broadcasting for everyone again. What I live broadcast today may have been done by everyone when they were children, just to catch cicadas."
The drone circled in the sky.
Everyone actually heard the cry of cicadas.
These cicadas were singing happily, as if they were a song and dance troupe.
"Anchor, didn't you say you would make electric eels for dinner at night? How did you catch the cicadas?"
"That's right, we thought the host was secretly eating electric eels?"
"Haha, there are so many cicadas in the mountains. It's hard to see so many cicadas in the city now."
"Anchor, can we sell cicadas? I used to eat cicadas made by my grandma when I was a child, but I haven't eaten them in more than ten years. When Lao Ye said this, I felt greedy."
Ye Chen was not in a hurry to catch cicadas.
He first observed the hiding place of Zhizhi.
Sure enough, the big locust tree that I targeted at the beginning had the most cicadas.
A closer look revealed that there were almost a dozen cicadas, all lying on the trees.
Fortunately, Ye Chen does not have trypophobia.
Otherwise, I would definitely feel uncomfortable after seeing so many cicadas.
Ye Chen smiled and explained to the fans.
"Cicadas have very high nutritional value and are rich in protein. Eating this stuff is very good for the body. However, if you want to catch cicadas, you must choose it at night. Cicadas are very flexible during the day, but this thing
At night, it’s like being drunk. Today I’ll start from this tree and catch cicadas live for everyone.”
Ye Chen said, pointing to the old locust tree in front of him.
The trunk of this locust tree is still very large, and it is considered the largest tree in this area.
"Anchor, brag, can you catch so many?"
"I think anchors can make a fortune with just three to five kilograms. Our restaurant here pays sixty yuan for one kilogram."
"Yes, if you order fried cicadas at a restaurant, they seem to be more expensive."
"Well, now I feel that the anchor is living a life like a fairy. If you want to eat any game, you can just catch it."
"I also want to eat cicadas. To be honest, I have never eaten them since I was a child."
While fans were posting comments, Ye Chen had already found a small vine nearby and braided a rope.
Ye Chen tied the rope about one meter above the ground.
Afterwards, Ye Chen wound the rope several times and tied it firmly.
Ye Chen said with a smile: "It's a little early to catch cicadas now. We wait until dark and these cicadas will climb down, saving us the trouble of going to the trees to catch them."
Ye Chen still knew Cicada very well.
"Cicadas are a kind of thing that likes light very much. Whether it is a light or a fire under a big tree, they can easily attract cicadas. So when you catch cicadas, you can use my method, but you can also
Be careful, there are many snakes in the wild, and these things also like light."
Ye Chen took a look at the other children's trophies.
Almost every child in the mountains is an expert at catching cicadas.
At this time, they had already caught a lot of cicadas in their small buckets.
These cicadas were piled together, making sounds constantly, and it was very lively.
"Haha, seeing these children catching cicadas happily, I feel really envious."
"That's right, these children are so happy, they remind me of when I was little."
"Oh, it's over. My mouth is watering when I look at these cicadas."
Ye Chen did the math and realized that these children were really powerful.
This time, I caught five or six kilograms.
Although these children enjoy catching them so much, they are not doing it for themselves.
Because frying cicadas consumes too much oil.
My family would not be willing to take it home to eat.
Ye Chen thought for a moment, and the cicadas he caught must not be enough to eat, so he might as well buy cicadas from these children.
These children are just selling for money, so of course they are happy.
Anyway, if they take these cicadas home, their parents won't help them get them.
After all, it's too much trouble.
After selling the cicadas, he still had pocket money. Ye Chen bought all these cicadas from the children for fifty yuan a pound.
This money is a huge amount of money for children.
The children took the money and left happily.
At this time, it was completely dark.
Ye Chen came to the old locust tree again.
At this moment, the cicada had stopped shouting.
The jungle is no longer as noisy as it was just now.
Ye Chen smiled and said to the fans: "Okay, now it's my turn to catch the cicadas."
Ye Chen laughed, then took a branch in his hand and started beating it along the trunk.
Suddenly, the wooden stick in Ye Chen's hand suddenly picked up, and a snake was picked out by Ye Chen.
Ye Chen said: "Have you seen it? Things like snakes come out at night, so everyone must be careful."
"It's a pity that this snake is so small, it can't even make soup or drink it."
Ye Chen then turned on the flashlight and placed it under the locust tree, illuminating the locust tree very brightly.
"Look, everyone, the cicadas are all climbing down from the trees."
The drone has been hovering not far from the locust tree.
Coupled with the powerful night vision ability, everyone can see clearly.
Those cicadas that were motionless seemed to feel the light, and then began to crawl down one by one.
What is strange is that these cicadas do not fly, but crawl.
