The number of rats in rural areas has decreased a lot compared with before. This may be because there are fewer people living in rural areas now, and fewer people are farming. The rats in the fields are in short supply of food now, so the reproductive ability of rats is greatly reduced, which makes the number of rats less and less.

Therefore, the subject said that many rats can be caught in vegetable fields every day, although rats are hateful things, which will steal farmers' food and crops. But in some places, mice are a delicacy on people's table, which is used to entertain guests. Many people say that rats are so dirty, how can they eat them? There are indeed a lot of bacteria in mice, but the mice we catch are not mice we catch in houses or garbage dumps, but mice caught in our farmland or vegetable fields. The food these mice usually eat is usually food or vegetables we grow, so their food is relatively clean, unlike mice living in cities or garbage dumps, which eat a lot of bacteria and are very dirty.

Our mice in the field are relatively much cleaner, even if they carry bacteria, it is generally safer to cook at high temperature. Now the price of mice is very expensive, because the number is becoming less and less. The mice we talk about are actually voles, which are different from the mice we usually see at home. At present, the price of voles is generally 3~4 yuan a catty, and it is difficult to buy.

Although many people hate rats and think rats are disgusting, in some places, rat meat is more delicious than chicken, and its nutritional value is also very high. It is understood that the protein content of rat meat is much higher than that of chicken, and it tastes more delicious than chicken, so many rural people especially like to eat rats.
