Recently, 2 billion MICROTUS fortis made a scene in Dongting Lake area, which triggered a human-mouse war in 22 coastal counties and cities. Now even Guangdong, thousands of miles away, has been affected. It seems that the joke of netizens "transporting voles to Guangzhou to cook game to kill rats" may not be groundless!

The day before yesterday, a citizen reported that a banned abandoned market next to Zengcha Road Coffee City in Baiyun District of Guangzhou secretly set up stalls to sell wild animals such as civets and pangolins at 3 or 4 in the morning, and six stalls run by Hunan people also sold mountain rat and voles. According to the investigation, mountain rat and vole were caught overnight and transported to Guangdong to enter the game market after the outbreak of rodent infestation in Hunan, and rat banquets in Panyu, Zhaoqing, Dongguan and Nanhai also made a comeback.

The reporter made an unannounced visit to the three parties in the trading chain.

Time: July 12, 16: 00 ~ 17: 00.

Venue: Yuanchatou Livestock and Poultry Wholesale Market, Zengcha Road, Baiyun District, Guangzhou

In the past few days, the reporter has made unannounced visits to the original Shantou livestock and poultry wholesale market in Zengcha Road, Baiyun District, Guangzhou. Until the afternoon before yesterday, he finally found out the specific location of six vole stalls in the field. Later, the reporter dressed up as a restaurant owner who bought voles and went to inquire about the inside story. After many field trips, he finally collected some important clues from a mouse vendor in Changde, Hunan.

The rat vendor in Changde told reporters that he came to this market after May Day last year, specializing in buying and selling mountain rat and voles, and has had many regular customers in the past year. Under normal circumstances, he only keeps single-line contact with vole buyers in Hunan and regular customers in Guangdong, and occasionally deals with restaurant owners introduced by reporters and the like to "expand new business".

He said that only when the new goods (live mice) leave Hunan, Hunan buyers will call the rat dealer in Guangzhou to inform him of the arrival time and let him pick up the goods. In the days when there are no new goods, neither side will take the initiative to contact the other. After receiving the goods, the rat dealers in Guangzhou will call several familiar game shops one by one the next morning to pick up the goods. In order to reduce the attention, only one pickup truck is sent to pick up the goods in one area. For example, the restaurant that cooks game in Panyu Shiqiao will not come one by one, but send a truck to Panyu after counting the demand of various wild animals on the same day, and then "divide the spoils" separately.

In the past two weeks, a large number of Dongting voles have transported their ears.

After the outbreak of rodent infestation in Hunan, did anyone collect local voles and secretly transport them to Guangdong for game? The rat seller in Changde said that although it was not known whether it was caused by rats, it had been available for two consecutive days since July, and Hunan buyers also said that it was no problem to add more goods. Last summer, a batch of goods were sent to Guangzhou every three to five days. Hunan buyers never offered that the supply of rat sellers was sufficient to increase demand.

"Whether in the winter peak season or the summer off-season, the wholesale price of voles is above 20 yuan/kg; Restaurants are generally only sold, 40 ~ 50 yuan/only. " The rat vendor suggested that it is very profitable for reporters to cook wild rat dishes: "Moreover, there are a lot of wild rats recently, so I can lower the price with Hunan. The wholesale price can be slightly reduced. People in Guangzhou have more money and the game is delicious. If you sell it at the original price, you will still eat a lot of people and you will earn more! "

Voles sell well, and they are sold out before dawn.

According to reports, there are obvious seasonal differences in vole trading. Winter is the peak season. The six stalls in this underground trading market can sell hundreds of kilograms of voles and mountain rat on average every day, and thousands of kilograms during the Spring Festival. Summer is off season. Generally, only 100 kg of goods can be imported per file every day. However, we can guarantee to sell them all in peak season or off season.

"The goods usually come to me around 4 am and come at 6 o'clock. It will be sold out before dawn. " Changde rat vendor told reporters. When the reporter further asked about the origin of the restaurant that came to pick up the goods, the rat vendor said without hesitation: "Zhaoqing has the most, Panyu has many, and Nanhai and Dongguan will also pick up the goods." At this time, a shirtless man in the booth next door looked the reporter up and down, and then reminded the rat seller not to talk in Hunan dialect, fearing that the reporter would make an unannounced visit, and there would be no money to make after the exposure.

The transaction was conducted directly in the early hours of the morning, guarded and monitored.

Time: July 4:00 ~ 6:00 13.

Venue: Yuanchatou Livestock and Poultry Wholesale Market, Zengcha Road, Baiyun District, Guangzhou

At 4 o'clock in the morning yesterday, the reporter and his party once again drove to the original Shantou livestock and poultry wholesale market located in Zengcha Road, Baiyun District, Guangzhou. Because the identity of the informant had been suspected the day before, I had to choose the form of unannounced visits to continue the investigation. In order not to attract attention, the reporter observed with binoculars on the viaduct parallel to the market and the slow lane across the road.

At 4: 3 am1,three heavy container trucks from Yiyang, Lingling and Shaoyang, Hunan Province were "killed" one after another. After the driver got off the bus and opened the rear compartment door, four thugs quickly ran forward and stood on both sides of the compartment. All four people were holding newspapers in their hands, but the reporter looked carefully and found that they didn't read newspapers, but looked around and observed the movement.

In a short time, iron bamboo baskets filled with civet cats, pangolins, cats, birds and other animals moved into the underground trading market, and about 10 foam boxes were picked up by Changde rat vendors who talked with reporters the day before. As soon as the goods were unloaded, the heavy truck drove away and soon disappeared into the night. The other two trucks with Hunan license plates also hurriedly unloaded and left.

The micropores are packed in iron cages or foam boxes.

In the next two hours, small pickup trucks with license plates of Guangdong A, Guangdong H, Guangdong X and Guangdong D went to the underground trading market to pick up the goods. Microbubbles packed in white cloth bags are first transported by motorcyclists to roadside alleys, then poured into perforated iron cages or foam boxes and transported to game houses with other wild animals.

The reporter observed that these game halls not only bought a large number of voles, but also cats, civets, pangolins, wild boars and wild ducks.

At 4 ~ 6 am yesterday, the reporter focused on three vans. At 4: 5 1, a small white pickup truck stopped at the right side of the gate of the underground trading hall. After a man and a woman got off the bus and made a phone call, the day before yesterday afternoon, they noticed that the reporter's shirtless rat vendor got on the bus with several foam boxes. Then, several men with big arms and round waist came out with cages full of birds, cats and civets ... The whole transaction lasted for nearly an hour.

Zhaoqing Buyer Lane Invisible Delivery

During the period, the reporter followed a delivery motorcycle to a branch lane next to the main road and stopped in front of a medium-sized pickup truck from Zhaoqing, Guangdong. The reporter also stopped at a distance of 100 meters. With the help of binoculars, Zhaoqing buyers are dumping the "things" in their bags into iron cages. He held one end of the bag in one hand and the "thing" in the other. The reporter clearly saw that the "things" in the bag were very small and the bag kept arching. The buyer carefully tried to keep the gap between the bag and the iron cage. After pouring, he locked the cage and quickly put it in the car. Then, the buyer sat on the ground drinking water and smoking, waiting for the arrival of the next deliveryman. The reporter calculated that on average, every 10 minute, different people come to deliver the goods, including cats, birds, wild boars and pangolins.

The reporter got off the bus and approached Zhaoqing car. The car stinks and is noisy, with birds and cats barking one after another, mixed with some indistinguishable animal calls. At 6 o'clock yesterday morning, after the last three boxes of wild ducks were loaded into the car, Zhaoqing car quickly left. (Source: Information Times)

Diners are still stealing Panyu Bridge Rat Banquet.

Telephone reservation is only for regular customers, three dishes and one soup, 800 yuan.

Where can I find voles to eat in Guangzhou? Reporters posted questions online, and many netizens replied that before the outbreak of SARS, many restaurants in Guangzhou and surrounding areas had wild rat dishes for sale, which were expensive. Recently, few restaurants sell game.

However, Mr. Huang, who claimed to have just had a vole feast not long ago, told reporters that the reason why most people don't know where mice are eaten is because these restaurants that do rat banquets never write these forbidden dishes on the menu. Generally, only the fixed neighbors who live nearby know the situation. "Before going to eat mice, you should make an appointment by phone in advance. When you arrive at the restaurant, only vole meals will be served. If a stranger orders a vole alone, the restaurant waiter will tell him that this (vole) is a wild animal and the government has a ban and cannot eat it. "

Mr. Huang seems to want to know more about the vole party. He told reporters: "The meal was treated by a friend of Panyu. The specific price is unknown. Three dishes and one soup cost more than 800 yuan. It is estimated that each vole needs 40 to get to 50 yuan. There are many ways to dry fry, braise in soy sauce, roast rice and make soup. Among them, the braised vole meat is the most tender, as if it slipped into the stomach. "

Mr. Huang said frankly that because he heard from friends that voles can nourish yin and strengthen yang, he tried it with a curious attitude. "I'm just curious to try something fresh, and I won't eat it often."

The reporter learned that in addition to Panyu Shiqiao area, there are also people stealing wild rat banquets around Guangcong Road, Dongguan Majie and Nanhai. Braised vole pots, steamed rat meat in cages, oily rat slices and various dishes, many people who drive high-end cars are attracted by acquaintances.

Nutritionist of CUHK: Microvoles eat more grains than pork.

It is understood that the saying that "eat a mouse as three chickens" has been circulating among the people. Do rats really have that high nutritional value? Professor Jiang Zhuoqin, director of the Department of Nutrition, School of Public Health, Sun Yat-sen University, said that voles live in rural areas, and they grow by eating rice, corn and other food crops. Rat meat is rich in protein and various minerals, even much higher than the nutritional value of pork. Long-term consumption is good for your health. Micro-bubbles can be fried, fried, steamed, fried and boiled, and can also be made into dried rats to eat or marinate, which is delicious.

However, he added that eating voles is also dangerous. Microbubbles also live in sewers, sewage ditches and other places, and may be polluted. Eating voles may cause diseases such as plague.

Guangzhou food safety office: fasting voles to avoid unknown diseases

Guangzhou Food Safety Office said that wild animals are the repository of various pathogens in natural foci, and many major human diseases and livestock and poultry diseases that have been discovered originated from wild animals. Although China has promulgated the Animal Quarantine Law, at present, it is difficult for health and quarantine departments to effectively monitor the living environment and sources of most wild animals that people often eat. The pathogens of many diseases spread and spread in the process of hunting, transportation, feeding, slaughtering, storage, processing and eating wild animals.

Wang Fan, the person in charge of the Municipal Food Safety Office, said that during the SARS period, the Guangzhou Municipal Government had explicitly banned the sale and consumption of rats and rat meat products, and it has not yet been explicitly lifted. In order to ensure the food safety of citizens, the Municipal Food Safety Office will, in the case of confirming that the situation is true, unite with the departments of industry and commerce, health and public security to ban and crack down on illegal vendors.

Dorri also said that the Food Safety Office will issue an early warning of eating rats and rat meat products as appropriate, and the public should report the discovery of voles for sale as soon as possible.
