According to the report of Taiwan Zhongshi electronic news on August 2, mainland people have a long history of eating locusts. Among the 18 monsters in Yunnan, "grasshopper's current food and wine" refers to fried locusts, with their crisp taste.

Due to the large demand for barbecue stalls and restaurants, the supply of wild locusts is in short supply. After 2015, locust farming began to develop all over the mainland. Wang Zhu, Secretary of the Party committee of Daxing Town, Qiqihar City, Heilongjiang Province, one of the producing areas, said that according to the current market price, one catty of locusts can be sold to 15 yuan, and each greenhouse can breed 200 Jin on average. After deducting the cost of buying eggs and net covers in the first year, the annual income of 30 greenhouses in the base can reach 120000 yuan, which will be distributed to the poor households in the surrounding villages.
July is the season of locusts. There are dozens of greenhouses in Daxing town. A layer of corn stalks is spread on the ground, full of green locusts. Daxing town was originally a poor town. Most of the young and middle-aged people went out to work. Cultivating locusts not only provided a lot of jobs, but also earned more than going out to work.
