So the next day, as soon as the sky cleared, Xiao Yu didn't go out to sea or collect seafood but instead went straight to find clay to make kiln-fired bricks, aiming to make the shed sturdy and resistant to the washout of rainwater. Bricks made from clay and baked at high temperatures are exceptionally solid.
Fortunately, the seaside weather was clear and sunny, so it took only two days to make enough bricks. On the third day, next to the chicken coop, in the place where Yan Qing used to live, she dug a foundation and layered the bricks on top of each other. To prevent roof leaks, she then found some wood to build the roof and placed a waterproof felt underneath in the mud.
After the shed was constructed, the floor was left bare, just the ordinary ground. However, in one corner, she laid some straw for them to sleep comfortably.
