The Crown Princess is busy fishing

As they ate, they discussed what the house would look like once it was finished.

The older Zhao Laogen said, "Once this house is built, it will definitely be the sturdiest house in our village."

"When the Fang family lives there, how comfortable they will be."

Lin Fanghai looked at everyone gratefully, "This is all thanks to everyone's help. I really don't know how to thank you all."

Qiu Ming waved his hand, "Fang Hai, don't be so polite. Our village has always been like this: when one family is in trouble, everyone helps each other."

"Besides, we're happy to see this house built little by little."

After finishing the meal, everyone rested for a while.

The afternoon sun was still strong, but everyone's enthusiasm remained undiminished.

Boss Ge stood up, stretched, and said, "Let's go, let's continue digging the foundation."

Everyone responded enthusiastically, picked up their tools, and headed back towards the foundation pit.

In the afternoon, Lin Fanghai finally finished processing all the wood on his side.

He was planning to go and help dig the foundation.

Just then someone shouted, "A boat is coming!"

A cargo ship was seen rapidly approaching from the shore.

They stopped right next to the boat where Lin Yuge and his group were loading stones.

"Miss Lin, what's going on here...?"

Lin Yuge immediately stopped the boat when he saw the person approaching.

He said, "We're transporting stones for building a house. Mo Nan, are you here to pick up my father?"

Mo Nan jumped off the boat, while directing the people on board to carry things down.

He nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, Miss Lin, the young master instructed me to come and pick up Lord Lin to go to the military camp. I also came to deliver some things."

“He said you would find it useful, and he was right.”

Two large boxes were carried off the boat by the people on board.

Mo Nan walked up to a box and opened it.

Inside is a set of exquisite building tools.

There were brand-new, sharp chisels, sturdy and durable hammers, and some specially made measuring tools.

“Miss Lin, these tools were carefully selected by the young master. You should need them to build your house,” Mo Nan said.

Lin Yuge looked at the tools with surprise.

"Young Master Yun is so thoughtful. We were just worried that we didn't have enough tools."

Then, another box was opened, containing rolls of oil paper.

Mo Nan explained, "The seaside is very humid. Using this oiled paper to cover the windows allows light to pass through while also preventing moisture and rain. It's much more durable than ordinary window paper."

Lin Yuge was filled with gratitude.

"Young Master Yun has been so thoughtful, we don't know how to thank you enough."

Lin Fanghai also packed his luggage and rushed to the beach.

Upon seeing these things, he repeatedly thanked Prince Yun for his kindness.

Then, he patted Lin Qingzhou on the shoulder.

He instructed, "Qingzhou, while your father is away, you must take good care of the family and help your mother and sister."

"The construction of this house cannot be relaxed; everything must proceed step by step."

Lin Qingzhou quickly replied, "Dad, don't worry, when you come back next time, you will definitely see a sturdy and beautiful house."

Lin Fanghai then turned to Lin Yuge, his eyes filled with affection and trust.

“Yuge, you are thoughtful and methodical.”

"But building a house is a big project, and it's inevitable that we'll encounter some difficulties."

"If you encounter any problems, consult with the village chief and the others. Everyone will help you out."

Lin Yuge nodded and replied, "Father, I remember. Please take good care of yourself while you are at the military camp and return soon."

Mo Nan glanced at the sky and said, "Lord Lin, we must set off as soon as possible. The young master is still waiting for you at the military camp."

Lin Fanghai then boarded the boat with Mo Nan, and the boat slowly sailed away from the shore.

Lin Yuge and the others watched them leave.

He then had others move the box of tools to the construction site.

The two then took the box of oil paper home and gave it to Xie Jingwan for safekeeping.

When we returned to the construction site, everyone had already started working with the new tools.

With the village chief looking after them, the two continued their journey back to the beach to transport stones.

After five days of transporting stones, they finally gathered all the stones needed to build the house.

At this point, the foundation of the house had been dug, and the surrounding soil had been compacted and leveled.

Then Ge Laoda and his men began to build a wall with stones.

He was experienced and first selected several regular-shaped and relatively large stones as cornerstones.

He directed everyone to carefully place them in the designated locations.

Others used hammers and chisels to shape some of the irregular stones so that they could fit together better.

After that, they began preparing materials to fill the gaps between the stones.

Following Boss Ge's instructions, everyone mixed pebbles, sand, clay, and shell powder together.

This seashell powder was Lin Yuge's idea.

There are many seashells on the beach. Grinding the seashells into powder and adding them to the mixture can increase its viscosity and strength.

After everyone used tools to thoroughly mix these ingredients,

They then began filling the gaps between the stones.

Young and strong men were responsible for transporting the mixed materials to the villagers who were laying the foundation.

They then carefully filled the gaps with the material and gently tapped it with a small hammer.

Make sure the gaps are completely filled, leaving no gaps.

From the moment the foundation was laid, there was no work that Lin Yuge could do.

Lin Qingzhou was left to help take care of things.

Xie Jingwan, along with two women from the village, would prepare meals and deliver them to them every day.

That day, after finally persuading her mother, Lin Yuge set sail again in her boat.

However, this time she doesn't plan to go far; she just wants to wander around near the coast.

Let's see if we can find any special seafood.

Before long, Lin Yuge found a small bay.

The seawater here is relatively calm, shimmering with a mesmerizing light under the sun.

She slowly rowed the boat into the depths of the bay.

Stop the ship.

He put the tools into the fish basket, picked up the small fishing net, and leaped into the water, swimming towards the seabed.

The seabed here is covered with countless shellfish.

There are scallops and clams, half-buried in the sand, with only their slightly open shells showing.

Lin Yuge excitedly took out a small rake, and with a gentle scoop in the sand, she could harvest several grains.

Not far away, some sea urchins were gathered together.

Their dark brown spikes look mysterious in the water.

She carefully avoided the sharp spikes and used special pliers to pick up the sea urchins one by one and put them into the bucket.

Swimming a little further to the side, Lin Yuge discovered a group of plump shrimp.

Their transparent bodies swam rapidly in the water, their slender tentacles swaying incessantly.

She swung her small fishing net, quickly making a circle in the water, and many shrimp got trapped in it.

She poured the shrimp into the fish basket, where they jumped and hopped, trying to find their way out.

Then, Lin Yuge continued swimming forward.

In a place where seaweed grew abundantly, she found several more sea cucumbers.

These sea cucumbers lie limply at the base of the seaweed, their color similar to the seaweed, making them easy to miss if not carefully observed.
