The fish could not be fetched with a net, because the fish carried in the net were mostly on the verge of dying, thus not being able to live on.
If they passed away in the pond, pollution might be generated.
So, they had to use the scoop net.
But there were many kinds of fish in this era, and the fish and shrimps were for themselves to eat, not to be sold. So they did not need to worry about it.
The fish and shrimps, when raised in the pond, might reproduce many more after a couple of days.
Qiao Xuan believed that she would need to pick the good ones to be raised in the pond.
When the planting of lotus roots was done, Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan, together with Ding Erzhu, took the three families to have a look around their home.
The transplanted tea trees were growing well, and had started to bud as well. The creeping figs were looking good too. By the time summer came, there was going to be a large patch of green.
