A thrilling frog adventure. Look at Cai Kai and Cai Cheng, twin brothers in Yueyang City, Hunan Province, how to rewrite their destiny with frogs and realize their dream of wealth.

On September 21, 2015, a heavy rain just ended in Daorenji Town, Yueyang City, Hunan Province. Near noon, the children were about to go home from school. However, at this time, there was a sudden scream in the distance.

It turned out that someone had found a group of things in the village that did not know what it was. These things move to and fro, which makes the children very curious.

Children: no shell, it is not a tortoise.

The children are a little nervous and a little scared. They watched carefully, and it wasn't long before they made a new discovery.

As soon as I heard that there were many frogs here, all the children ran around to watch.

I have never seen so many frogs before. Today was a real eye-opener. The children jumped and jumped excitedly and ran madly around the pool. They couldn't stop at all.

Children love and fear frogs, which makes Cai Cheng, the owner of this frog pond, also feel very funny. Cai Cheng, 29, is famous locally for raising frogs. Today, he is holding a frog-catching contest here, where the winner can not only eat a frog feast on a table, but also get a bonus from Cai Chengfa.

Cai Cheng: it's 10:10. We have to finish catching it at 11:00. The first 500, don't scratch the frog, we have to ship it out of town. Start. "

After the announcement of the rules, the game officially began, and the children joined in.

Cai Cheng: come here, don't scratch, come on, give it to me!

There is no limit to the number of frogs, regardless of age. In order to ensure quality, Cai Cheng stipulates that people can only use their hands to catch those big adult frogs.

However, the frog reacts quickly and jumps around as soon as it gets closer, and everyone can only pounce on the shore and scratch in the water.

Twenty minutes later, there was a mess in the frog pond.

Seeing that everyone grasped so hard, Cai Cheng was also interested and was ready to play in person. But before he began to catch frogs, there was a dramatic scene at the scene.

Cai Cheng found a person who looks almost exactly like himself.

Interviewer: you two?

Cai Cheng: this is my brother, the twins.

Interviewer: do you want to catch the twins together?

Cai Kai: yes, this way, it's all in the grass.

The twins catch frogs, but at first glance they can't tell who is which.

Reporter: which one is Cai Cheng?

Villager: the one in front is my brother. I couldn't tell the difference before, but I didn't know it until recently.

Brother Cai Cheng, elder brother Cai Kai, both brothers are good at raising frogs, and they are neck and neck in picking up frogs.

At this time, everyone's attention is focused on the twins, but there are less than 2 minutes left in the game, so who will win the final championship today?

Cai Cheng: 20 jin, 20 jin of the champion. What are the skills of catching frogs in an interview?

The eldest brother caught 20 jin of frogs alone and won today's grand prize of 500 yuan.

After handing out the rewards and ending the competition, Cai Cheng hurriedly sent these frogs to the nearby farmhouse. In addition to the more than 300 jin of frogs ordered by the customers, Cai Cheng also had to give everyone a frog dinner today.

Hunan people love to eat frogs, hot oil, directly pour the frogs into the inside, turn, stir-fry, coupled with a variety of chili peppers and seasonings, the smell of stir-fried frogs comes to the nostrils.

There are braised, steamed, gravy thirteen fragrance, so that everyone can not stop eating.

Diner: that frog meat is very tender.

Locally, frogs can be eaten in many ways, but Cai Cheng's favorite is this charcoal-roasted frog.

Keep the whole shape of the pre-pickled frogs, put a bunch of bamboo sticks and bake them side by side on a charcoal fire for 5 minutes. After a while, the delicious frog meat began to be greasy. Unable to withstand the temptation of delicious food, Cai Cheng baked while eating, and then sprinkled some chili peppers and chopped onions on it, the taste of the roasted frog became even more delicious, especially the frog leg, which was called a crisp inside, and immediately attracted all the people around him.

If you want to eat frogs, the local farmers have to make a reservation with Cai Cheng in advance. When business is good, it is often four or five hundred jin a day. Especially after the beginning of autumn, frogs begin to hibernate, the supply of goods on the market is getting less and less, a lot of non-local customers are coming.

Dealer: Yiyang, Hunan, collected more than 1000 jin. Now the frogs are hibernating, there is no other place, he has here.

Villager: basket by basket, send it out. Cai Cheng and Cai Kai are very good.

By raising frogs, Cai Cheng and his brother became rich and capable people in the village. Not only in 2014, they generated more than 3 million sales in one year, but they also set up cooperatives to lead everyone to get rich together.

However, few people know that it is this little frog that makes the brothers Cai Cheng and Cai Kai unable to raise their heads in the village for a long time.

On September 21, 2015, when the reporter went to interview, Cai Cheng took us to a wet and slippery field.

Reporter: what are you looking at?

Cai Kai: this is ricefield eel. We call it trench when we catch ricefield eel.

Interviewer: why is there rice field eel in it?

Cai Cheng: if you put an earthworm in it, it will come back to eat.

Reporter: it's so advanced. I haven't seen it before.

Cai Cheng: yes, this is a professional, upgraded version.

Interviewer: can you show me?

Cai Cheng: it fell in here. Get out of here and out of there.

In the past, when life was difficult, the two brothers relied on this tool to catch ricefield eels to make a living. Sometimes when they have no money to eat, they can only use rice field eel to satisfy their hunger.

Cai Cheng: at that time, I didn't have any money to buy a bottle of water, and I couldn't afford mineral water for 2 yuan. I often woke up in the middle of the night in the quilt in despair, feeling that there was no point in living in the world.

Cai Kai: I also thought about killing myself, but I didn't tell him, he didn't tell me.

Recalling the hardships of that year, the two brothers still sighed very much, so what on earth did they go through and how did they win wealth with frogs?

Cai Cheng, originally a fashion stylist, opened a barber shop with friends in Yueyang City, Hunan Province. Business in the shop is booming, but in 2010, Cai Cheng had a whim to change careers to raise frogs.

It turned out that at that time, his twin brother Cai Kai was raising lobsters in his hometown. Once, when his brother Cai Chengyu went to the market to sell lobsters, he found that local frogs were very tight, especially after the beginning of autumn, when frogs went into hibernation, prices continued to rise, and demand fell short of supply, which made him very excited.
