Exile? A mad, wicked woman empties the national treasury to escape famine.

As the group worked intently, several villagers moved to their side. Zhang Cuihua's husband lowered his voice, looked at Ji Yunshu, and spoke with a slightly ingratiating tone.

"Well, Madam Ji, we just discussed it, and you mentioned that you're planning to take these fish home to raise. We were wondering if we could also take the fish from our fishpond home to raise?"

Just tell us exactly how you raise it, and we'll try it ourselves.

"Yes, yes, Madam Ji, we are really sorry, we didn't want to trouble you, but the weather is just too cold."

"If you can, just say a few words to us. If not, that's okay too; you've already helped us a lot."

Ji Yunshu looked up and saw several villagers staring at her with awkward expressions.

She glanced around and saw that those guarding the riverbank were mostly men. Many of them would be going to work early the next morning, and because it was so cold, they were huddled together for warmth.

Staying up all night here and then going to work tomorrow will definitely take a toll on my body.

only……

Her method of raising fish was created using the spiritual spring water in her space, and no one else could imitate it.

"I'm really sorry, it's not that I don't want to say it, it's just that when I was in Beijing, I often kept fish in my back garden."

In winter, when the river freezes over, I've tried bringing fish indoors to keep them, so I have some understanding of water temperature and such.

Fish like these in the river have gotten used to living in such cold water for a long time. When they are returned to a greenhouse, the temperature difference is too great and there is very little oxygen, so their survival rate is naturally very low.

To be blunt, you're not catching many fish. You could try raising them, but you might lose a few each day, and sometimes none at all. I don't think that's worth it for you.

Moreover, testing the water temperature and oxygen levels is a very delicate task; if the temperature and oxygen levels are even slightly off, these fish will not survive.

I'm used to it; I keep a close eye on them at home all the time, which is why my fish have survived.

I don't really recommend that you try things you've never done before. I'm not stopping you, but you can give it a try if you want.

That's all nonsense. She can't exactly say that the fish didn't die because she used the spiritual spring water from her space to add nutrients and oxygen to them!

Xie Moyao had said that the matter of the spiritual spring water should not be told to anyone, and even Wang Zheng today, they had not yet explained the matter of the space to him.

Moreover, some of what she said was true; if you want to keep fish in your room, you can't just leave them there and ignore them.

Although she also put spiritual spring water in those fish basins, she would still go over to check on the fish from time to time. If she felt that the fish were not doing well, she would add more spiritual spring water, which took a lot of effort.

If she has to go through so much trouble to use the spiritual spring water, imagine how hard it must be for these villagers.

If these villagers bring the fish home, the fish almost always die the next morning.

If conditions permit in the future, it's possible to divert water from this river to our home, so that a small amount of water can flow into our fish tank regularly, allowing us to raise fish there.

After listening to Ji Yunshu's words, the men nodded, agreeing that what Ji Yunshu said made sense.

Ji Yunshu had a lot of fish, and because she was experienced, she dared to try and fail, but none of the villagers caught many fish.

They have absolutely no experience. Using these fish for experiments, they'll probably kill them all before they even figure out how to keep fish at home.

After thinking about it, the group could only nod in agreement.

"Alright, Miss Ji, we understand. We'll consider it. If we're going to take it home to raise, could we ask you for some advice?"

Ji Yunshu smiled slightly: "Of course you can. If you've thought it over, come and ask me. I'll answer everything I know."

This is a bit difficult, but it's not impossible.

Now the villagers all fetch water to drink at home. Just like she said, when will they be able to install a pipe to bring the river water to their homes?

With a constant flow of water, there is still some hope of keeping the fish alive.

Several men nodded excitedly.

"Yes, yes, thank you very much, Madam Ji!"

As the men talked, they didn't dare get too close to Ji Yunshu and the others. The giant bug that Ji Yunshu had made was giving them goosebumps.

To their surprise, Ji Yunshu and her family were not afraid of the two big bugs at all!

One or two of them actually dared to reach out and take it!

Watching Ji Yunshu and Xie Moyao untie the large insects one by one and put them into the fishing net, the men felt a chill run down their spines.

They had originally wanted to ask Ji Yunshu more about the two big insects, but seeing that Ji Yunshu and Xie Moyao were busy and that Ji Yunshu seemed to have no intention of paying attention to them anymore, the men had no choice but to go back first.

At this moment, Ji Yunshu's attention was entirely focused on the crabs and lobsters in her hands.

The crabs and lobsters have all been put into the fishing net. The net has holes so that the crabs and lobsters won't be able to crawl out.

However, they can use their pincers to hook themselves up through the holes in the cage, and then slowly climb up until they finally emerge from the water.

Xie Moyao squatted down, watching the crayfish and crabs constantly crawling out of the water, and also noticed the problem.

"Yun Shu, shouldn't we put something to cover this up? If no one is here to watch over it, these crayfish and crabs might crawl out."

When you come to check tomorrow, there probably won't be many left in your fishing net.

"Yes, we need to find a way to cover this up, otherwise all these crayfish and crabs will crawl out."

Ji Yunshu's mind raced, and she remembered the fishing nets that Xiaolan and the others had woven at home. She hadn't specifically asked about them, and didn't know if any were left.

"Xiao Lan, do you and your sisters-in-law still have any of the fishing nets you wove at home to sell?"

The mesh of the fishing net was very small, and it wasn't very big either, so it seemed to fit perfectly over their fishing net used to catch crabs and shrimp.

"Yes, yes, there's still some left. After the villagers bought some, there were still some threads and ropes left."

The eldest and second sisters-in-law were worried that there would be more buyers and not enough to sell, so they wove out all the remaining items.

Those that weren't sold were placed in the small room next to the kitchen.

Third Sister-in-law, if you need it, I'll go back and get it for you right away.
