Where is the specialty of dried mice?

Dried rat is a specialty of Ninghua County, Sanming City, Fujian Province.

Ninghua dry vole, also known as dry mouse, is one of the eight dried vegetables in western Fujian and a famous Hakka snack in Tingzhou, Fujian Province. Microtus fortis belongs to the carnivorous order of mammals. Its coat color is generally dark grayish brown, some are sandy yellow, and it feeds on rice. At the yellow maturity stage of late rice, the ears of rice are chewed and stored in caves, and hidden paths are often dug in the grass at the foot of the field, which is very harmful to crops. Ninghua is a mountainous agricultural county, so there are many voles. People catch voles to protect crops, and then make them into Ninghua voles.

Every winter is the best time for Hakka farmers in Ninghua to catch rats, especially after beginning of winter. The method of catching mice is simple, and "bamboo tube mousetrap" is often used. Every evening, people carry mousetraps and use rice or rice as bait to look for rat paths on the ridges and slopes. Whenever you encounter a rat path or a rat hole, put a mousetrap on it and wait until the next morning to get it back. The catch rate is generally around 3/ 10, and it is as high as 5/ 10 in frosty weather.

Small coup to prevent domestic mice

1. Keep the room clean and tidy, and clean up the food sources of rats. Rice flour, nuts, dry goods, etc. It should be stored in an airtight container. If you have pets, you should clean up the unfinished pet rations in time to avoid luring mice into the room.

The broken ceiling is the passage for mice to enter the room. In life, if the ceiling is damaged or tilted with cracks, it must be blocked in time. In addition, attention should also be paid to the reserved holes of air conditioners and sewer pipes.

3. When ventilation is needed, screen doors and screens connected with the outside world must be used. Ordinary gauze doors and windows are easy to be bitten by mice. If possible, it is best to directly use stainless steel gauze to prevent mosquitoes and rats.

4. Put a mouse cage or a mouse board in a balcony or other space that is connected with the outside world and can't be sealed, so as to catch mice that are "waiting for opportunities".
