India is an agricultural country and here people cultivate grains, fruits and vegetables. Although fish farming, poultry farming and other such works are also related to farming, but if you are told that you should cultivate snakes, then it will be a bit surprising for you too. By the way, today we will give you information about the farming related to snakes and the huge earnings from it. On seeing a snake, people run away or it is killed, but there is a country in the world where people are earning crores of rupees by cultivating snakes.
The name of this country is also not unknown to you, because from time to time strange news of the food there becomes media headlines. This is none other than China, where snakes are cultivated. The people of China's Zisiqiao village have earned so much money by cultivating snakes, which you cannot even think about. Snake farming is the main source of income of this village, due to which this village is also known as Snack Village.
Snakes are cultivated in almost every house of this village, which is famous for snake farming all over the world and here it is done in most of the houses only. The population of this village is about one thousand and every person living here rears 30,000 snakes. It can be inferred from this that every year crores of snakes are cultivated here.
earn profit from snake meat
There are more than one dangerous snake among the snakes that are reared here, in which there are cobras that can put 20 people to death with their poison, pythons or vipers that make people mad after biting in a few minutes. Apart from these, many dangerous species of snakes are reared here.
A child born in this village plays with snakes instead of toys. These people are not afraid of them at all, because they earn from this only. These people earn big money by selling snake meat, other body parts and its poison in the market. Perhaps you would not know that the venom of a snake is more valuable than gold and the cost of one liter of venom of the most dangerous snake is up to Rs 3.5 crore.
Snake meat is also eaten in China and this is how these people earn lakhs of rupees. Snake meat is eaten here in the same way as paneer is eaten in India. Snake curry and its soup are most popular here. Apart from this, the parts of snakes are very useful for making medicine. Medicines for cancer are made from them, from masculine power.
Here snakes are reared in glass and wooden boxes. When they grow up and they are taken to the slaughterhouse, their poison is taken out before that. After killing them, their flesh and other organs are separated. Along with this, their skins are removed and dried in the sun. Their meat is used to make food and medicine, while the skin is used to make expensive belts and other items.
where did this idea come from
Some time ago a farmer named Yeng Hong Cheng lived here. One day he fell so ill that due to poverty he was unable to collect money, during this he caught a wild snake to cure himself and made medicine from it. After this, Cheng felt that snakes do not only kill humans, but people's lives can also be saved by the medicine made from its parts.
Seeing all these things, he started cultivating snakes and he got a lot of benefit. Seeing Cheng, other people of the village also started cultivating snakes and soon people of this place made this work their profession. Although the people of this village are not afraid of snakes, but they are also afraid of a snake and its name is FIVE STEP SNAKE.
There is also a story behind such a name of this snake, in which it is said that if this snake bites someone, then it cannot walk even five steps and it dies. Because of its strong poison, its price is very high in the market and some special types of trees are needed to grow it. Which are grown here and on these these snakes spend their life. However, due to the Corona epidemic, the Chinese government had banned snake rearing in this village for 6 months.
