Common voles mainly eat the green parts of Gramineae and Leguminosae plants and store hay in caves in winter.
Breeding 3-4 times a year, the number of pregnant mice embryos is 2-8, with an average of 4.8. In that year, the young rats matured and participated in reproduction.
There is a folk saying: "It is better to eat three chickens than one mouse", which describes that voles are richer in nutritional value than chicken. Autumn rice harvest is the biggest season for voles to grow in rice fields. Catching voles is beneficial to reduce rodent damage and avoid unnecessary loss of food. Local farmers in Xincheng, Luzhai, Xiangzhou and other counties and mountainous areas use their slack time to catch voles in the fields and sell them in Liuzhou farmers' market. Recently, this market sold more than 65,438+0,000 voles a day, and sold more than 2,000 voles at the peak.
There are many ways to eat voles. Master Qiu, a snack-flavored restaurant in Fuyuan, Zhongnan Food City, Yaru Road, has been a vole for more than ten years. He said that voles can make delicious dishes and snacks of various flavors by exploding, frying, frying and stewing. Male diners like to eat fried voles. The wax vole is golden in color and stir-fried with more than ten kinds of raw materials such as soybean, sour bamboo shoots, pepper, ginger and star anise. They have no fishy smell, crisp taste and are full of delicious food. Female customers like to taste vole casserole. The slaughtered peeled voles are mixed with stewed soup materials such as angelica sinensis, ginkgo biloba, red dates, astragalus, codonopsis pilosula and dog seeds. The vole meat is sweet, smooth and delicious, and the vole soup has the effect of yin beauty. Now Master Qiu's flavor shop sells and makes more than 30 kinds of vole dishes and snacks every day. The price of killing voles weighing about 500g in local food stalls is about 10 yuan.
