Even Fugu, if the internal organs, blood, skin, and gills are meticulously cleaned, can theoretically be safe to eat. However, in this world, the situation is different. In reality, Fugu can have its toxicity eliminated through strict handling; but in the game world, this creature is defined as having special properties. No matter how thoroughly it is cleaned, it will still retain its poison.
Of course, if one is daring enough to try it, they can do so, but the prerequisite is to consume milk immediately to counteract the harmful effects. Otherwise, the Fugu here can cause blurred vision and a rapid decline in Health Points. Yun Xiao Yi speculated that in the real world, an ordinary person would probably not survive long enough to taste milk. They might just end up dead.
At this point, he quickly spoke up: "Want to eat it? That's not advisable. This isn't the Fugu you usually know; its toxicity is extremely severe, and no cooking method will help. Moreover, if you eat it and can't drink milk within a minute, you'll be reporting to the next life."
The people around him gasped in shock. Zhao An and the others widened their eyes, their throats tightening with unease. Is it really that toxic? Just one minute—if milk isn't readily available, it's truly a matter of life and death.
Zhao Yang, who had just approached the riverbank and was about to bend down to pick up the Fugu, instantly froze in place.
Yun Xiao Yi chuckled lightly: "It's fine to touch it; if it's not edible, just help me pick it up."
Hearing this, Zhao Yang finally let out a sigh of relief. He carefully picked up the Fugu and hurriedly handed it to Yun Xiao Yi.
After receiving the Fugu, Yun Xiao Yi safely placed it in his backpack. The toxicity of this Fugu was simply too strong; it was safer for him to keep it properly stored. Although he couldn't enjoy it directly...
Even if it were only to wipe boots, it would still be considered too filthy. However, it might come in handy when creating a diving agent in the future. Yun Xiao Yi put away his fishing gear, planning to return to the pond near his villa to continue fishing. Instead of filling in the Shuikua beneath his feet, he turned to Zhao An beside him and said, "You can use this water pit. In the future, the village won't need to go all the way to the Hutuo River for water supply; this place can meet our needs."
"Rest assured, although this water surface may not seem large, it is actually an infinite source. As long as we avoid completely blocking it, it will continuously produce water. Moreover, the Infinite Water Source not only holds special significance in the game but also has another remarkable advantage in reality: its high level of cleanliness!"
Indeed, during the late Eastern Han period, people had no concept of running water; most of their water came from natural sources. While these natural waters appeared clear and free of impurities, they often harbored numerous invisible bacteria and parasites despite any purification attempts. Furthermore, most households in that era were not accustomed to boiling their water before drinking it, as both wood and coal required costs that many impoverished families could hardly afford. For them, even filling their stomachs was a challenge, let alone ensuring the quality of boiled water. Such treatment was often reserved for wealthy families; ordinary households could hardly be so meticulous.
In contrast, modern society's implementation of drinking water purification measures has only gradually developed as a social advancement in recent times. The Infinite Water Source in Zhongcheng nearly meets the standards for pure water, completely free of bacteria or parasites and safe for consumption.
Upon hearing this, Zhao An nodded in agreement and respectfully bowed, saying, "I will remember the guidance of the Immortal Master." Then Yun Xiao Yi recalled something important and added, "By the way, if conditions permit, you might consider implementing running water."
"Running water?" Zhao An repeated the term softly before asking curiously, "Immortal Master, what exactly is running water?"
Yun Xiao Yi pondered for a moment before explaining, "In simple terms, it's about connecting a fixed water source to one end of a hollow pipe made of bamboo or metal, while the other end extends to each household. The ends of these pipes connected to the homes can be fitted with valve devices. When water is not needed, the valves can be closed to stop the flow; when water is required, the valves can be opened to allow water to flow naturally into each household."
Upon hearing this explanation, Zhao An's eyes sparkled with excitement. "Is this what they call running water?" he asked. It truly seemed like a practical and convenient technological innovation. If it could be widely implemented, the residents of Zhao Jia Village would find it exceptionally easy to access water, almost as if they could obtain it anytime from their homes. However, Zhao An soon fell into deep thought. Implementing a running water system was no easy task; it required high-quality materials and technology, and it was essential to ensure that the pipes had good pressure resistance and that the valves were tightly sealed to prevent leaks. Numerous challenges needed to be overcome to guarantee the system's effective operation. Given Zhao Family Village's current capabilities, these issues still seemed difficult to resolve.
Zhao An honestly stated the situation. Yun Xiao Yi nodded slightly in response, saying, "Haven't I mentioned it before? If there's an opportunity, we should build it; if not, we can wait until conditions are right. Moreover, you could start by trying to create a simplified version of the running water system. For instance, you could avoid using valves and instead use long hollow pipes for connection. This yard is located on the far west side of Zhao Family Village; you could place the other end at the easternmost part of the village. That way, the villagers in the east wouldn't have to go far to fetch water."
"Even without valves to control the flow of water, you can make the hollow pipes narrower to reduce the flow rate and then establish an orderly schedule for each household to use water in turn."
