Butcher Yun happily rubbed Yun Yiyi's hair, then burst into laughter.

"Dad, do you think this method is feasible?"

"Yes, I think it's very good."

"If we use this method to transport water, there is another problem. The number of people each family sends out to transport water varies, and the amount of water each family needs to store also varies." Yun Yiyi said distressedly.

After hearing Yun Yiyi's words, Yun the Butcher burst into laughter again.

"Dad, why are you laughing at me? I'm angry." Yun Yiyi stomped her feet pretending to be angry.

"Hey, Yiyi. Daddy is not laughing at you. Daddy just thought of something funny and couldn't help laughing."

Yun Yiyi looked at Yun the Butcher with suspicion.

"Dad, keep making up your story. Let me see what good excuse you can come up with."

"Yiyi, Dad was wrong. I shouldn't laugh at you. Don't be angry." Butcher Yun coaxed Yun Yiyi in a low voice.

"Yiyi, the two problems you mentioned are not problems for our village. Because our Yunjia Village is not only a village, but also a big family. Our village chief is also the clan leader. When the time comes, let him arrange the water transportation. No one in the village will have any complaints."

"When the time comes, the village chief will definitely arrange for each household to store the water that is transported to the village. As long as they have a place to store water, the village chief will never mind if the villagers store too much water. And in the future, if any household is short of water, our village will also share water with them. This is the power of family unity."

After hearing what Yun the Butcher said, Yun Yiyi suddenly realized. Yes, the power of the clan in this era is enormous.

"Okay, when the village chief comes, you can tell him about this method of transporting water."

"Then why don't you go and say it yourself? Why do you have to ask your father to say it for you?" Yun the Butcher deliberately teased Yun Yiyi.

"Dad, the village chief is too nagging. I don't want to listen. Even when he is praising someone, he can praise for a long time. I'm a little scared." Yun Yiyi said distressedly.

"Haha, your village chief uncle loves to nag. Okay, I'll talk to him when he comes. For a while, you don't have to carry water, just stay by the pond. I'll help carry water. It's the road from the pond to the fork in the road. It's not far, and I can see you from time to time." Yun the butcher said.

"Okay, Dad, it's settled then."

"Dad, I want to use your basket to catch fish." Yun Yiyi said happily as she looked at the fish in the pond.

"Haha, good. The village chief and the others haven't arrived yet, so I'll go help you fish. Come on, I'll take you to dig a puddle by the pond and prepare to release the fish later."

Yun the butcher took Yun Yiyi to a place two or three meters downstream of the pond and drew a circle with a diameter of 80 centimeters. The two of them dug out the sand and stones in the circle. After a while, they dug out a water hole about 50 centimeters deep. Yun the butcher filled the water hole with water. He also surrounded the water hole with sand and stones so that the fish would not jump out.

Butcher Yun came to the pond with a basket and put it in. Then, the father and son sat down beside the pond. Yun Yiyi found that fish soon swam into the basket.

"Dad, there are fish in the basket." Yun Yiyi said in a low voice, pointing at the basket.

"Okay, I see. Let's wait a little longer and put in a few more fish before taking out the basket." Yun the butcher also said in a low voice.

The fish in the pond had never been caught before, so they were not very alert. In a short while, more than ten big fish were caught in the basket.

"I'll go get the basket." Yun the butcher said in a low voice.

Butcher Yun squatted down and quickly picked up the basket with both hands. As soon as the fish left the water, they frantically swung their tails in the basket.

"Dad, there are so many fish. Besides, I feel that the fish in the pond are a little stupid. We caught them so easily." Yun Yiyi said with disdain.

"You naughty boy. It is precisely because fish are stupid that we can catch fish with baskets. Otherwise, we can't catch fish easily." Yun the butcher said as he put the fish in the basket into the puddle.

Yun Yiyi also helped catch and release the fish. The fish were all big, the smaller ones weighed more than two pounds, and the larger ones weighed more than three pounds. Moreover, the fish were very strong and slippery, so if you were not careful, the fish would slip out of your hands.

"Dad, are we going to take this fish back and share it with each family?" Yun Yiyi asked.

"Yes, take it back and give some to each family. While we have water, I will clean up the fish later, and we can cook and eat them directly after we get back." Yun the butcher said happily.

"Dad, can my mother stew fish for us? I want to eat the fish stewed by my mother." Yun Yiyi looked up at Yun the Butcher.

"Eat. Ask your mother to stew fish for you when you get home." Yun the butcher agreed immediately.

"Dad, when I think about the vegetable cakes and stewed fish I'll have when I go back home, I wish it would be dark now." Yun Yiyi said.

"Haha, that won't work. We haven't transported water yet." Yun the butcher said with a smile.

After Yun the butcher and Yun Yiyi put all the fish into the puddle, they lowered the basket to where they had just put it. Yun Yiyi stood by the puddle looking at the basket. Yun the butcher was killing and processing the fish by the puddle.

"Dad, there are more than ten fish in the basket." Yun Yiyi ran over lightly and said in a low voice.

"Okay, you wait here. I'll go get the basket." Yun the butcher washed his hands and went to get the basket.

There were indeed a lot of big fish in the basket. Yun Yiyi helped put the fish into the puddle. Yun the butcher put the basket back and processed the fish faster.

After Yun the butcher collected two more fish, there was no more room in the puddle. Yun the butcher lowered the basket into the water again and concentrated on processing the fish. However, the fish still needed to be scaled, and one person could not do it quickly. He could only do his best, and when the water was finally transported, with a few more people to help, he believed that it would be processed quickly.

Suddenly, Yun Yiyi heard the village chief's voice. She turned her head and looked into the woods. The village chief was walking towards the pond with a group of people.

"Dad, the village chief is here." Yun Yiyi shouted loudly.

"Okay, I heard you, Yiyi. I'll wash my hands first." Yun the butcher said, and went to the lower reaches of the pond to wash his hands. Then, he stood there and waited for the village chief and others to come.

"Yun the Butcher, you have done a great service to the village this time." The voice came before the village chief arrived.

"Village chief, we discovered the pond together." Yun the Butcher replied loudly.

"Yun the Butcher, you are too modest. I heard from the young men that it was Yiyi who first suspected that there was water ahead, and then you came here and discovered the pool of water." The excited voice of the village chief came over.

"Village chief, please come and take a look. Is the pond big enough for all our villagers to store water?" Yun the butcher said loudly.
