Chapter 480 begins with the construction of the dock and shops.

They raced against time to cook a delicious meal for Lin Luoxi so that she could have a hot meal as soon as she woke up.

"Yes, you've really grown up."

"It's delicious, it's so delicious." Lin Luoxi had a good sleep and woke up to a delicious meal. She was so touched that tears welled up in her eyes.

Actually, it was the saltiness and spiciness of the food that brought tears to my eyes.

But seeing the children looking at her expectantly, she had no choice but to eat the food, praising them as she ate.

The five children's eyes sparkled as they watched Lin Luoxi eat so enthusiastically and praise the food they had prepared.

"Mother, if you like it, we'll cook for you from now on!" Xie Zhili was greatly encouraged by Lin Luoxi's words and decided to let them cook for Xie Hanchuan and Lin Luoxi from now on.

Lin Luoxi, who was forcing herself to finish her meal, paused upon hearing Xie Zhili's words, her face stiffening.

"Okay, you all come and eat too. I can't eat that much by myself." Originally, she wanted to refuse tactfully, but afraid of hurting the children's feelings, Lin Luoxi simply let the children sit down and eat together.

"Okay!" They've been cooking for so long and haven't eaten yet.

"Ugh~"

It's so salty!

Xie Leyao took a bite of the spicy stir-fried cabbage she made herself, but it was so salty that she spat it out.

"So spicy!" Xie Zhili exclaimed, sucking in cold water as his Kung Pao Chicken was so spicy.

Xie Zhichu, Xie Zhiyan, and Xie Zhiheng were so frightened by the commotion caused by Xie Zhili and Xie Leyao that they dared not touch their chopsticks.

"Mom, stop eating..." Xie Zhiheng saw that Lin Luoxi was still eating and was afraid that she would get an upset stomach, so he took the bowl and chopsticks from Lin Luoxi's hands.

"How can you eat something so unpalatable?" Xie Leyao spat out the pickled vegetables in her mouth, rinsed her mouth with tea to relieve the saltiness, and then looked at Lin Luoxi.

"I'll definitely eat this since you made it. But next time, please use less salt and less chili, and it will taste even better..."

In order not to discourage the children's enthusiasm for cooking, Lin Luoxi patiently guided them.

"Okay, Mom, next time Dad cooks, we'll learn how to cook and we'll definitely make delicious meals for you!" Xie Zhili, being the eldest, naturally had to be more composed.

"Okay, let's go see how your dad and the others are doing." Lin Luoxi led the children out of the space.

Seeing Xie Hanchuan leading a group to measure the area where a wharf needed to be built at the mouth of the Meihua River, and seeing Xie Hanchuan working in an orderly manner, she went to do something very important.

She took the two urns containing the remains from the ship and buried them in a scenic spot not far from her future dock.

After burying the two jars, as Lin Luoxi descended the mountain, the grass and trees on both sides of the road rustled in the wind, as if expressing their gratitude to Lin Luoxi.

After resolving the matter of the two jars of bones, Lin Luoxi threw herself into the task of building the dock.

Purchasing building stone required Lin Luoxi and Xie Hanchuan to visit many places, because the area is located at the junction of the river and the sea, and under normal circumstances, it cannot withstand the erosion of seawater.

Lin Luoxi could only lead Xie Hanchuan to search everywhere, and finally they found a stone on the beach that could resist the corrosive effects of seawater.

Finally, they hired people to build the dock. The location Lin Luoxi chose was quite remote, and if it weren't for the high wages she offered, no one would have come.

Lin Luoxi considered that if this place were to become a port in the future, it could drive the economic development of this area.

While hiring workers to build the dock, she also sent a message back to Master Zhao Minghui, asking him to bring people to build houses here, as she planned to build a commercial street at the dock.

Two days after construction began at Lin Luoxi's dock, Zhao Minghui received the news and rushed over as quickly as possible.

Upon seeing Lin Luoxi's massive project, Zhao Minghui sensed a commercial motive.

When discussing building a house with Lin Luoxi, he shamelessly mentioned to her that he also wanted to buy land here and build a house.

Over the years, thanks to Lin Luoxi, his career has taken off dramatically since he built her a house.

More and more people know that Lin Luoxi built all of his houses by himself, and more and more people come to ask him to help build houses, making him a fortune.

His apprentices have spread far and wide, and his name has become famous overnight. Now, people who want to hire him to build houses are lining up in long queues, and even then, they might not be able to get him to do so.

Lin Luoxi naturally agreed to Zhao Minghui's keen sense of business opportunity.

The commercial street she needs should naturally be one with as many investors, as lively, and as prosperous as possible.

After seeing that Lin Luoxi had agreed, Zhao Minghui hurriedly followed Lin Luoxi out to measure the land.

After measuring the area of ​​the commercial street that Luo Xi needed to build, Zhao Minghui suggested that Lin Ruoxi go with him to measure the land area he wanted to buy.

Lin Luoxi told him that this dock was a port that sailed all the way to the West.

With a port for going abroad, his future would surely be limitless. Zhao Minghui took out two-thirds of his savings and bought a large plot of land right next to Lin Luoxi's house.

Xiao Jingchen, who was far away in the capital, somehow learned about her building a dock in Jiangcheng and came to inspect it in person.

Seeing Zhao Minghui building a house, he stood on a high place, looked at the dock under construction and then at the house under construction, found Lin Luoxi, and made a shameless request.

His original intention was to invest, but seeing Xiao Jingchen trying to get something for nothing, Lin Luoxi rolled her eyes at him, thinking that Xiao Jingchen was definitely dreaming.

He directly rejected Xiao Jingchen's request, telling him to find a piece of land himself and build whatever he wanted, and that he would never cooperate with Xiao Jingchen.

No way! Cooperating with the royal family is like asking a tiger for its skin. She's not stupid; she won't do something like that.

She may not hold an official position, but don't even think about taking her money.

If I work with Xiao Jingchen, can I really feel at ease getting the remaining half of the money?

She's not short of money, so naturally she doesn't want another business partner interfering and causing her unhappiness.

Xiao Jingchen didn't expect Lin Dongxi to refuse his request, but he didn't dare to snatch food from Lin Luoxi's mouth, so he could only listen to Lin Luoxi and find a piece of land near the dock to have shops built.

Money makes the world go round, and in just six months, Lin Ruoxi's dock was finally completed thanks to his massive influx of money.

Wu Kui then led a team to the West, bringing with them the beauty and skin-nourishing creams made by Lin Luoxi's pharmacy and various local specialties unique to the Crimson Flame Dynasty.

The commotion that Lin Luoxi, Zhao Minghui, and Xiao Jingchen caused at the dock also attracted the attention of many wealthy people.

Those people sensed a business opportunity and all flocked to the area near the dock to buy land, build houses, or rent shops to do business, which boosted the economic development of Jiangcheng.
