Butcher Yun thought for a moment and said, "Yiyi, in that case, I only need to bring hot water, a hoe, and a butcher knife when I go home."
Yun Yiyi nodded. "That's right, Dad. Estimate how much hot water you'll need. It's best to bring enough. If we don't bring a pot, we won't be able to boil water."
"Yiyi, you said there's water in that mountain stream. Wouldn't it be more convenient to bring some water with you? I'm afraid the hot water will get cold by the time I get there."
Yun Yiyi was a little confused. "Yeah, I forgot about that, Dad. Then you can bring our big iron pot. You don't need to bring water either, we can just use the water from the mountain stream."
Butcher Yun nodded, and indeed there was a change. "Okay, Boss, come back with me. There are too many things to carry by myself."
"I know, Dad. Let's go now. While the sun is high, let's speed up."
"We're going back first, Yiyi. You and Lao San wait for us here. When we come back, we'll go to the mountain together."
Third Brother Yun waved his hand and said, "Dad, big brother, you guys go back. Yiyi and I will be waiting for you here."
So, Yun the Butcher carried the big sweet potato vines on his back and walked in front, and Brother Yun followed behind, and the two of them walked down the mountain swiftly.
Yun the butcher is very strong, and the sweet potato vines on his back are not very heavy despite their large size.
Yun the Butcher and his elder brother Yun returned home very quickly.
"Wife, we have changed our minds. We want to take the big iron pot up the mountain."
Zhang was startled. "Boss, didn't you say you'd bring hot water? Why are you bringing a big iron pot up the mountain?"
"Has anything changed?"
Brother Yun hurried over to explain, "Mom, the place Yiyi is looking for has a mountain stream with water in it."
"Besides, that place is quite far from our home. Even if we carry hot water up there, it will probably be cold by the time we get there."
"So, in the end we decided to bring a large iron pot up there and boil some water for ourselves."
Zhang suddenly understood. "Oh, that's a good idea. It's more convenient than carrying hot water up the mountain yourself."
Then, Zhang called out, "Second brother, quickly pour out the hot water from the big iron pot. Your father and the others are going to take the big iron pot up the mountain."
"I know, Mom, I'll go now."
Second Brother Yun put down the work in his hands, quickly took out the water jar, and poured hot water into the jar one scoop at a time.
Soon, Brother Yun finished filling all the hot water.
Brother Yun Da Ge and Brother Yun Er Ge held cloths in their hands and lifted the big iron pot off the stove together.
Butcher Yun simply tied the big iron pot with a rope and put it in the largest basket in the house.
He also put the butcher knife in.
"Boss, grab your hoe, let's go up the mountain."
"I know, Dad."
Zhang came over with a wooden bucket and a ladle. "Boss, you're not going to take the bucket, are you going to fill the water with your hands?"
After she said this, she deliberately rolled her eyes at Yun the Butcher.
Butcher Yun smiled embarrassedly, "Haha, wife, I accidentally forgot. Thanks to you for reminding me."
As Yun the butcher spoke, he took the bucket and ladle.
"Dad, let's hurry up the mountain. If we can't finish it before dark, it will be troublesome to go down the mountain."
Zhang was also worried and reminded, "Yes, boss, you guys should leave quickly. Try to get down the mountain before dark."
"Wife, we are leaving. If there is anything at home, please ask the children to go to the village chief."
"Got it, Boss."
Yun the Butcher and Brother Yun traveled lightly and soon met up with Yun Yiyi and the others.
"Big brother, give me the hoe. You carry the wild boar. Let the third brother carry Yiyi. This way we can get up the mountain faster."
"I know, Dad."
Third Brother Yun carried Yun Yiyi on his back and walked in front to lead the way, while Yun the Butcher and Big Brother Yun followed closely behind.
Yun Yiyi led everyone through the woods and finally arrived at a place with a mountain stream.
Yun Yiyi got off Third Brother Yun's back and said, "Dad, we've arrived."
Butcher Yun put down the basket and walked towards the stream. The stream was indeed flowing, but not much water was flowing on the surface of the rocks.
If you want to use water, you must dig up the broken stones on the surface and then use stones to block the flow of water so that the water can be stored.
It seems that Yiyi thought very carefully when she chose this place.
Then, Butcher Yun looked around and found a large stone slab. This saved everyone the trouble of carrying tables up the mountain.
"Yiyi, Dad just took a look and the place you chose is great. It's perfect for us to slaughter pigs."
"Now let's divide the work. Big brother, you take the third brother and find some stones to build the stove. I'll dig a big pit to store water first."
"I'll go collect firewood after I finish digging the puddle."
"I know, Dad."
"Then let's go find some stones, Dad."
Yun Yiyi saw that everyone had work to do, but she had none, so she found a job for herself and went to the nearby woods to collect firewood.
Of course, this job is easy. Just find a dead tree and give it a good kick.
She doesn't need to transport it back, Brother Yun and the others will come and transport it later.
Yun Yiyi kicked a lot, and soon she had kicked five or six dead trees. She thought it was enough, so she stopped.
When she returned to the stream, Yun the Butcher had already dug a large pit in the middle of the stream. He had blocked the downward side, as well as the left and right sides, with stones.
In a short while, the puddle was almost full. However, the water was still very turbid, so if you wanted to use it, you would have to wait a while.
"Dad, did you put rocks at the bottom of the puddle?"
Butcher Yun was setting up the stove. "Yiyi, I didn't put it in."
"Dad, we need to put stones at the bottom of the puddle. Otherwise, when we scoop water out with a ladle, the water will become muddy."
Butcher Yun slapped his forehead and said, "Yiyi, pick up some gravel from the mountain stream and put it in. You are really thoughtful."
"Yiyi is awesome."
Yun Yiyi waved back, "Dad, let me tell you, if you dig a lot of water holes, you'll gain experience."
Butcher Yun shook his head, what a naughty child.
Yun Yiyi picked up many small stones in the mountain stream and threw them into the puddle.
Soon, the water in the puddle became more turbid.
After a while, Yun Yiyi felt that it was enough and stopped.
At this time, Yun the Butcher and Brother Yun had already set up the stove and installed the big iron pot.
"Dad, I just kicked a few trees over there at the edge of the woods. You can bring them back and use them directly."
"Big brother, third brother, you two go carry the firewood. I'll go find some hay for kindling."
"Okay, Dad."
"I'll go now, Dad."
