Chapter 432 Heartbeat
Upon hearing this, Ji Sheng further explained, "We summoned you here today, but we're not forcing you to go to the sea. Whether you go to the sea or not is entirely up to you."
"But starfish are edible, I'm sure everyone knows that."
"Everyone can keep the starfish they catch for themselves. If they can't finish them, they can take them to the city and sell them for money."
"Some starfish can't be eaten, but Song Chuman said they can be used to make fertilizer."
"Now many people are preparing to plant crops. With starfish as fertilizer, everyone will have a good harvest in the future."
…
Many people were tempted when they heard that it was edible.
Many people are now short of food at home and are saving food every day.
If we could eat starfish every day and sell them for money, our family would be much better off.
As for composting, most of them don’t really like farming and are not very interested in it.
Ji Sheng glanced at everyone's faces and continued, "The water was indeed a bit murky where you docked your boat earlier."
"But when the Song Chuman siblings went out to sea recently, they deliberately went a little further away and discovered an area of the sea with very clear water."
"Today she even sent people into the water and discovered not only a lot of starfish, but also abalone, sea urchins and other creatures. Those are all good things. Today she found over a hundred abalone and dozens of sea urchins, and sold them for quite a bit of money."
"If you catch one or two abalone while you're in the water catching starfish, that can also increase your income."
abalone!
Hearing that they could go into the sea to catch abalone, more people became excited.
But some people are still worried about their own safety. After all, people used to die on the boat even before they went into the water.
If we go into the water now and have to hold our breath, it will definitely be more likely to cause death.
Yang Deru asked kindly, "Ji Lizheng, the waters farther from Qingyu Village are very clear. I think we can see the bottom of the sea even if we go in, so it's easy to find starfish. But how do we find starfish in other turbid areas?"
You can't just go into the sea and try them one by one.
When Song Chuman met Xiao Xuanli in the morning, she told him how to deal with this situation.
Ji Sheng also heard what Xiao Xuanli said.
Ji Sheng said, "We don't need to worry about the starfish in the turbid waters for now. They'll always move on, and we don't plan to catch them all. We just need to catch them in the clear waters regularly."
"Also, mice's nemesis is cats, and starfish also have their nemesis: crabs, shrimps, conches, and damselfish. If you go out to sea in the future, just go a little further. The Song family now goes further than before."
"If animals like crabs in turbid waters are not caught, they may control the reproduction of starfish themselves."
Now Song Chuman is the only one in the village who dares to go out to sea, and it will be fine as long as she doesn't go there to fish.
Of course Song Chuman didn't have to go. She had seafood in her space that was more valuable than crabs. She could just use those seafood instead and there would be no loss.
Yang Deru stroked his beard and said, "Indeed, although starfish are hateful, we can't kill them all."
Everyone looked at each other in surprise when they heard this.
Is this really possible?
Seeing that most people didn't trust him, Ji Jingnan continued, "Think about it for yourself. Apart from those who are building houses or going out to sea, most families have people who are free. Even if you want to farm, you don't need to send everyone out."
