Cane civet, also known as cane rat, has a high medicinal value. It is sweet and cold in nature, nourishing yin, blood deficiency and heat, and tonifying the liver and kidney. It is a good diet for young and old people, so it has the reputation of "one mouse tops three chickens". This kind of mouse is a specialty of Zhuhai, and is as famous as the sparrow in Sanshui. Cane civet is mainly produced in the sugarcane field areas of Xiaolin, Doumen Qianwu, Wushan and Pingsha. It specializes in sugarcane, up to more than 2 kg. It can be divided into black haired mice and yellow haired mice. When the new wind comes, it's harvest time. Cane civet grows very plump. Because it has been eating in sugarcane ponds for a long time, it has a little digestion and a heavy sweet taste. In addition, it has been in a shady place for a long time, and it is full of food all day long. Its meat is particularly sweet, tender and smooth, and its bones are as soft as crisp. Therefore, villagers often catch them and dry them as preserved meat, while local restaurants use them to stir fry, fire, stew, steam, braise, make side ovens, and cook soup to make various kinds of rat dishes. It is usually "Wuping Stewed Sugarcane Beaver". It tastes sweet, smooth and delicious.
