Siheyuan, Period Story, Sign-In System, Tons of Supplies, Plausible Numbers
Looking for period novels like "The Courtyard" and "Under the Zhengyang Gate". They should have a System, preferably one with sign-ins that give you tons of supplies and goods each time. Most importantly, the period details should be realistic, like a bride price of around ten yuan, not a few hundred just because someone feels generous.

To be honest, Fatty had served He Yuzhu faithfully for over a decade, yet Sha Zhu hadn't even taught him his skills. If it were someone else nowadays, who would tolerate that? It's no surprise that he ultimately betrayed Sha Zhu.
It's watchable, and so far it's pretty good.
Keep it up, it's quite interesting.
The writing is fluent and not overly sentimental; it's a pity I didn't manage to sever Sha Zhu's limbs.
Author, you need to write more books and update more often. Although you bought an elephant 🐘, you still need a refrigerator. The more updates you make, the more gifts you'll receive, and then you'll get the refrigerator.
It's pretty good. The "golden finger" (a special ability or advantage) isn't very useful; it just gives you a cooking skill, which you gradually progress from beginner to intermediate to advanced. It mostly focuses on everyday family matters, and the characters are well-developed and logical.
Go go go!
This book shattered my perception of Tomato (the author of the book). Even a copycat story can be presented with a fresh twist, like a cover song, making you think he's the original singer. I hope the author will create even more brilliant works in the future.
While a five-star review is unrealistic, the author manages to fill in the plot holes little by little with a reasonable storyline, which is quite good for a Tomato Novel. As for the low ratings, just look at the reading time.
It's very realistic, not a mindless story!
