I remember when I was farming at home, my father and I went to plow the fields at dawn. At that time, we still used the most primitive iron oxen and iron griddles to plow the fields. We relied on an ox in front and people behind us. Push, I have been circling the field early in the morning, breaking up the soil in the field. There were a lot of mole crickets at that time. At that time, my father was plowing the fields in front, and I followed him with a cup to pick up the crickets. It didn’t take long to pick up a big cup, but I was very happy. Then I immediately went home and stir-fried it with cooking oil. It tasted very delicious. I miss it so much now.
