This is a great book. I love books like this one that don't have a complex system, just a small cheat code. Or books that don't have an intelligent system that can chat and joke around. I like simple systems or cheat codes that require you to figure things out yourself!
Four stars, I'd say. It would be better if you didn't have such a powerful background (ordinary people were safer back then). You could live a normal life as a cook. If you're aiming to dominate the courtyard house, then disregard what I said. Courtyard houses are all about everyday family matters. Having a powerful background is useless.
The writing is good, no awkward phrasing, and the plot is also acceptable. It's just too short! Goodness, it's almost chapter 80 and they're only just moving into the courtyard house! 🤦🤦🤦
@ The concept, plot, character design, and dialogue are all quite good, but sometimes the author neglects details, giving the impression of being inconsistent and making us viewers anxious. For example, the names of characters like Xu Damao's father are sometimes Xu Youcai and sometimes Xu Fugui.
If you don't cause trouble during wartime, you've wasted your time travel.
The country hasn't been established yet, so let's buy a courtyard house first. Otherwise, we'll have to squeeze into a traditional courtyard house later, and the source of the money won't be easy to explain.
To put it simply, over 60% of this book can be skipped.
They are selfless and dedicated, working 24 hours a day except when they are sleeping. The other two get off work regular hours, with kitchen helpers sharing the workload with the chefs. The main staff are indispensable.
A leisurely and comfortable rural life. But it's already the summer of 1948, and none of the characters in the courtyard have appeared. As a chef, shouldn't he at least have some interaction with his colleague He Daqing?
It's good! The part about moving to Northeast China probably won't be very interesting later on! I'm taking it off the shelf!
