The Crown Princess is busy fishing

Xiao Yunqing observed that she seemed to know a great deal about the matter, which was not as simple as what she had read in books.

A sense of doubt arose in my mind.

He glanced at Lin Yuge inquisitively, but didn't ask any further questions.

He simply assisted her quietly from the sidelines, directing the workers and arranging the salt field renovation.

Lin Yuge finished instructing everyone.

It's getting late.

Xiao Yunqing instructed Mo Nan to prepare a batch of refined salt, which would be delivered directly to Lin Yuge's boat shortly.

She wanted to decline.

Xiao Yunqing seemed to know that she would refuse.

He immediately retorted, "I'll be troubling you quite a bit here in the future. Consider this payment."

Hearing him say that, Lin Yuge couldn't refuse anymore.

He readily agreed, saying, "Yun Qing, then I'll accept it."

"Don't worry, if you have any questions in the future, just have someone come and ask me. I will answer them to the best of my knowledge."

Xiao Yunqing was very satisfied with her straightforwardness.

He exclaimed, "Yuge, your temperament is truly delightful."

He finished speaking without waiting for Lin Yuge's reply.

He then instructed Mo Nan to first send her back to Da Wan Kou.

He himself stayed behind to continue overseeing the construction of the salt fields.

Mo Nan escorted Lin Yuge to the entrance of Dawankou and helped her load the refined salt onto the boat.

They hurriedly returned to the salt field.

When Lin Yuge returned to Longtang Village with several bags full of refined salt.

She happened to run into some villagers who were moving stones on the rocky beach, and they kindly helped her carry her things home.

At this time, the sky was getting dark.

Aunt Wen and her daughter-in-law Dong Xiaoya were cooking for the people building the house.

Xie Jingwan was simply too busy.

I went to their house yesterday and asked the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to come and help.

Upon hearing that they could earn a considerable amount of money by only cooking two meals a day, they realized that the two of them could do so.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law agreed without hesitation.

Lin Yuge greeted the two men and then came to the workshop.

Everyone in the workshop was doing their job, and all the work was being carried out in a busy but orderly manner.

There is strength in numbers.

In just one day, the foundations for several stone houses had been dug next to the erected shed.

At this moment, someone was using a stone rammer to continuously compact the soil.

The open space to the side was also piled with stones.

There are also quite a few processed bamboo plants.

In one corner of the shed, several elderly people were sitting.

Holding specially split bamboo strips in their hands, they skillfully wove them, the bamboo strips moving up and down in their hands.

There were already several woven bamboo trays and sieves nearby.

Lin Yuge found Xie Jingwan in a shed.

At this moment, she was with Cai Jinhua, Wang Youcai, and a few others.

They discussed using this room as a cleaning room.

We're going to lay stone slabs inside, and then start digging drainage ditches from here.

They were so busy that they didn't notice the time.

Lin Yuge reminded her, "Mother, it's getting dark. Everyone has been busy all day, it's time to call it a day."

Xie Jingwan looked up at the darkening sky outside and realized how quickly time had passed.

She quickly said, "Brother Wang, Sister Jinhua, Yuge is right, let's call it a day. Everyone is tired after a long day."

Wang Youcai replied, "Okay, I'll go and inform everyone."

As he spoke, he walked out of the shed and raised his voice to shout, "Everyone, it's getting dark, let's call it a day!"

"Everyone go back and get some rest, we'll continue tomorrow."

Upon hearing the shout, everyone stopped what they were doing.

After packing up their tools, the villagers walked into the village in groups.

Lin Yuge and Xie Jingwan walked at the very back.

"Honey, how was your day? Did you buy anything?"

"Mom, the iron pot and all that stuff have been ordered, but I haven't had time to buy the rest."

"However, I've solved the salt problem."

Lin Yuge briefly told her what had happened that day.

Xie Jingwan stared at her daughter.

What should I do? I'm starting to doubt if she's really my daughter.

That's incredibly capable.

Xie Jingwan sighed softly and reached out to pat Lin Yuge's head.

"You child, you have both surprised and delighted your mother."

"In just one day, you've solved the salt problem and even ordered an iron pot."

"Even I don't know what to say."

Lin Yuge smiled and said, "Mother, it's all good luck. We just happened to run into Xiao Yunqing, who helped us a lot."

"And I also want to get the workshop up and running as soon as possible so that our family can live a better life and everyone can benefit."

Xie Jingwan nodded, "You're right. If this workshop is set up, it will be good for everyone."

"But, my dear daughter, don't overwork yourself. If anything happens, just tell your mother, and we'll figure something out together."

The mother and daughter walked home while talking.

In the days that followed, the whole village got busy.

The construction of the workshop is in full swing.

With the concerted efforts of the villagers, Lin Yuge's two-story house gradually took shape.

Finally, the main structure of the small building was completed.

Next, the roof will be installed.

That day, the village's sampans were mobilized.

Lin Yuge and Lin Qingzhou followed Qiu Ming.

Following the river behind the village, we finally arrived at another village after many twists and turns.

This village is much larger than Longtang Village, and it is famous for producing pottery clay, so it is called Da Tao Village (Big Pottery Village).

As soon as you approach the riverbank of Datao Village, you can see busy villagers digging and carrying clay.

The air was filled with the scent of earth, mixed with a faint smell of cooking fires.

Lin Yuge and the others disembarked and curiously looked around at the unfamiliar village.

Qiu Ming led them into the village with familiarity with the area.

As they walked, they introduced the village, saying, "The clay in Datao Village is of very high quality, and the pottery made from it is sturdy and durable, making it famous far and wide."

"Many merchants come here to buy pottery."

As they spoke, the group walked along a narrow but bustling path.

Various unfired pottery blanks of different shapes were displayed on both sides of the road.

Some artisans are intently carving exquisite patterns on the clay blanks, each stroke full of artistic charm.

Lin Yuge couldn't help but stop and watch, filled with admiration for the craftsmen's skills.

Soon they arrived at a spacious courtyard, which was the pottery workshop of Datao Village.

The workshop was filled with pottery that was being fired and that had already been fired.

There are pottery jars of all sizes, exquisite pottery bowls and plates, as well as some uniquely shaped handicrafts.

Qiu Ming found the owner of the workshop, an old man named Uncle Zhao.

Uncle Zhao warmly welcomed them and learned the purpose of their visit.

He smiled and said, "You're here to buy terracotta tiles, right?"

"The quality of our terracotta tiles is unparalleled; they are all made from the finest clay."

Lin Yuge carefully observed the ceramic tiles in the workshop.

They were uniform in color and thick in texture, and indeed looked very sturdy.

She asked, "Uncle Zhao, what's the price of these terracotta tiles?"

Uncle Zhao stroked his beard and said with a smile, "The price is naturally fair and reasonable."

"However, the specific price depends on the quantity and specifications you need."

Lin Qingzhou said from the side, "We need a large quantity, so we hope Uncle Zhao can give us a discount."

After some bargaining, a satisfactory price was finally reached.

Subsequently, Uncle Zhao arranged for people to load the ceramic tiles onto the sampan.
