There are many kinds of rats.

Those who are in the sky are called Tianma, those who can fly are called Feima, those who can swim are called Water Rat, those who are in the sea are called Sea Rat (beaver, and those who are in southern Fujian are called Sea Rat), those who are in the Nian family are called House Rat, those who are in the warehouse are called Hamster, those who are in the ground are called Gopher, those who are in the field are called Field Rat, those who are in the mountains are called Tree Rat, those who are in the mountains are called Mountain Rat, those who like money are called Qianma, and those who eat rice are called Mickey Mouse.

The most common ones in Caijia Village are house rats, mountain rats, and field rats.

Among them, mountain rats are the largest, voles are the fattest, and house rats are the dirtiest.

Earlier, someone in Caijia Village caught a mountain rat in the mountains. It was half a meter long and weighed five or six kilograms, and the meat essence was so fatal. The man and Cai Hongming had a good bus, so he cut some meat for him. Cai Hongming was lucky enough to get some to eat, but he still couldn't forget the taste. It was so delicious. At that time, he didn't add MSG to cook.

The green mountains are particularly enchanting.

Between the foot of the mountain, a small stream slowly came from a distance, passed through several small paddy fields in the mountains, and then flowed out.

Cai Hongming took Hongsheng to the paddy field opened by the villagers, and carefully looked for a mouse hole on the ridge of the paddy field. I was tired of eating seafood in the past two days, so he planned to change his taste. After a while, he found a field mouse hole on the ridge of the field. He looked at the entrance and noticed that there were traces of field mouse passing by recently, so he started to do it.

Rabbits have three holes, and cunning voles will dig several holes in their nests.

Cai Hongming found all the holes and blocked them, leaving only two in front and behind, and then asked Hongsheng to guard the other end, and he found some dry straw to put it in the hole and lit it. Suddenly, he found that he had forgotten to bring the fan over. Now he had no tools to fan the smoke into the field mouse cave. He had no choice but to take the bucket as a fan and send the thick smoke from the burning dry straw into the hole.

There are four main ways to catch voles:

First, use water to irrigate. This is very simple. It is to find out all the holes dug out by the field mouse, leave only one, then block all the remaining holes, and then irrigate them hard with water. If there are field mouses inside, it will run out by itself. However, there is a disadvantage, sometimes the field mouse has not run out after a long time of filling it, because the water has flowed to other places, and it takes half a day of effort.

The second is to use smoke. After finding the hole dug by the field mouse, leave two in front and behind, then ignite the dry straw and fan the thick smoke into the hole. The field mouse can't stand it, so it will run out from the other end, which is very effective.

Third, find out all the holes dug by the field mouse, leave two, and then catch a non-venomous snake and put it in. The field mouse in the hole will be frightened and run out when you see the snake. However, this method may not work sometimes, because some lazy snakes are not obedient at all. If you let it drill into the hole, it will not go in and climb out desperately. Sometimes, the field mouse is not afraid, but instead, it will be with its brother, so that you will get angry and smoke when you see it.

The fourth method is to find a scolding type, which is to dig directly on the ridge of the field with a hoe. This is a trivial matter when the owner of the field saw that it was a trivial matter. Some people would even go home to complain to the adults. At that time, a meal of fried shrimps with bamboo branches is inevitable (the shrimps are tender, which also refers to children. It is self-evident that fried shrimps with bamboo branches are almost the same as stir-fried pork with bamboo slices).

Of course, when Cai Hongming got home, he often ran away when he saw that the situation was wrong, so he had never been fired. If anyone else did not know.

The thick smoke from the straw was constantly fanned into the hole with a bucket. The thick smoke came into the cave and came out from other places. The field mice inside could not stand the smoke fumigation, so they finally ran out of the inside, but instead ran towards Hongsheng, they ran out of the hole on Cai Hongming's side.

Cai Hongming took a look and picked up the bucket and chased him.

Ah, ah, ah, ah...

Finally, the voles that ran out died in a desperate situation under his bucket of water.

Fortunately, the bucket was made of raw plastic rice and had high flexibility. If it were replaced with the hard plastic bucket of the past, it would have been lying on the corpse. Cai Hongsheng, who was guarding the hole behind, also ran out of a field mouse, and he quickly stepped on it with his feet. But the field mouse jumped left and right, running fast, but he couldn't step on it. He wanted to grab it with his hands, but he was afraid of being bitten by the field mouse. In the end, he could only watch the field mouse fleeing away quickly.

Cai Hongming killed the field mouse and turned his head to see it, and immediately glared and shouted: "Hongsheng, are you here to make soy sauce, aren't you?"

"No, brother, it runs too much, I can't step on it!" Cai Hongsheng said with an innocent look on his face.

"I won't catch you with my hands if I can't step on it? I've never seen you as stupid as you come. You don't bring anything when you come back and get sticks and bags."

After hearing this, Cai Hongsheng ran away to avoid suffering from his brother's sarcasm here.

At this time, Cai Zhengxian came over. Cai Hongming looked at Qi and said, "How do you know I'm here?"

"I'll go to your house, and my grandfather said you came out with a hoe. When you see the smoke coming out here again, I guess you came to catch the field mice again, so I came over to see what the results are?"

"Catch a small one, and the big one was let go by that boy Hongsheng."

Cai Hongsheng went and came back quickly, and instantly brought a bag and stick from home.

Cai Hongming looked at it and smacked his lips and said nothing. He caught a field mouse and took a baseball. Did he want to use the field mouse as a ball? He looked at Cai Zhengxian and was speechless for a while. He was used to it. This kid has always been a food to eat and drink after following his butt. As for letting him work, it is not impossible, but you have to be careful that he burned the house or the trees in the mountains.

The voles Cai Hongming caught were very small, only a few taels, but they were better than nothing.

So he put the killed field mice into the bucket and then found the field mice's nest again.

In the past, when there was no food in the year of disaster, people would go to the fields to catch field mice. Because the holes of the field mouse often hide a lot of food, at least one pound. Now that life is better, farmers don’t care about the food these field mice need. The living standards of the field mice improve and the speed of reproduction of future generations is faster. Therefore, there are many field mice in the fields now. Even if Cai Hongming catches them every year, they still have them every year.

Find the field mouse cave and block the hole. Cai Hongming asked Cai Hongsheng to tie the bag he brought to the hole left behind. Now there is no need to catch it. He just waits for the field mouse to run out and get into the bag by himself.

After getting ready, Cai Hongming went to find straw to light it and sent the smoke into the hole.
