Everyone needs to learn how to use a portable gas stove! Well, the Jiang family of four got “blasted” into ancient times by their little stove, and to make matters worse, they landed right in the middle of a refugee exodus!
The original owner’s whole family had been poisoned to death by their grandmother. What a wicked old woman. Better stay away from her!
They wanted a portable space, and the System gave them one. The catch? It was an empty tent!
They tried to enter the space to escape danger, but they’d used up all their entries and exits!
Even asking the System a question came with a monthly limit!
Fine. It was better than nothing. They’d make do...
On the road, they used modern know-how to find and purify water. But the wicked Old Madam Jiang twisted the truth and accused them of bringing bad luck to the whole village. So they might as well leave the main group!
But yielding once, then twice... If they couldn’t avoid trouble, couldn’t they fight back? Then let’s do it!
When they reached their new home, hey, it was by the sea! Then they’d eat seafood!
They made oyster sauce, cooked seafood, and crafted jewelry. Once they had a solid economic foundation, it was time to build up the social side too: get Dad a position and help her brother pass the imperial exams. But Mom got a government job first, and her little sister found a powerful patron before anyone else. The men were falling behind, so they’d better work harder!
The language is fluent. Although it is an escape novel, it is not depressing and is suitable for killing time.
