To promote the wontons, they even copied that song "Calories." What was the title? Thanks!

It's very beautiful and the writing is good. Please keep up the good work, author! ! ! The hostess is a bit unpleasant, and some of her behaviors are not like those of an adult from time travel. For example, when she was looking at a house with her mother, she kept calling her "mom" to express that she was very satisfied with the house. There was also an agent, so it was difficult to negotiate the price. The first few dozen chapters were quite interesting to read, but when I got to more than 30 chapters, I skipped reading. Overall, it's still a lot better than Tomato.
The subject matter is very interesting, I especially like to read this kind of period novel about the development of Hong Kong, but there are relatively few people writing about it, so I finally found a good one, and the heroine is quite crazy. Does the author not really like the heroine? Others are normal people, so why did he write the heroine like that [face covering]
The novel is well written and I enjoyed reading it, but you have to remember one thing, don't think about the time-travelling girl. This time-traveling girl is the most useless and useless one I have ever seen. Just treat her as just a contemporary little girl with plot reminders from time to time. Just read this little girl and make some smart choices. Otherwise, you will be angry [laughing], but it is still worth reading.
The rating of this book is too low. The content is very good and compact. I enjoyed reading it, but I couldn't get enough of it. It made me worried.
I think the heroine's mother is the heroine, smart, capable, and capable
This book is well written, and the humanistic descriptions are also very contemporary. Some people always feel that the heroine is a fool. She has traveled to the past, and her IQ, knowledge, and behavior are like a real 9-year-old child. The ladies eat like they are starving to death. But after reading it, I found that she may be a growth type, and the fool is the character, but her mother, according to the author's writing, is really a lady who has gone to college, is knowledgeable and thoughtful, and is very fashionable. There is a lot of foreshadowing, this article should not be short, please wait for the update. Don't give up right away, this heroine is an ordinary person like us. She has no ability to predict the speculation at that time, but she should work hard to make money. I hope she doesn't have a love brain, her mother is very sober, and the heroine probably can't either.
Alas, I stopped reading it. I come back to read it from time to time. I guess the author doesn't write anymore. This novel is really well written. I like it very much. Moreover, I can learn a lot from reading it. I also really want to have an elder with a 666 perspective, but there is no such thing. I almost have to rely on myself to think and understand everything. After taking detours and falling down, I realized that this is not working and that there is a more suitable way.
It's quite interesting. It tells about the trivial life of those who fled to Hong Kong City for refuge at that time. People who have not experienced that period will find it quite insightful to read it, with a "Shanghai Beach" petty bourgeois tone...
I think this book is very beautiful. Divorced mother with daughter in 49 years. I went to Hong Kong with my kids for the first time. Normally I don't read stories about Hong Kong, but this book is very special. I give the author full marks.
Why is the rating so low? It's pretty good, especially in the mood for the Mood for Love It's very well written, a completely different period story, and I seem to know the follow-up. I read 98 chapters in one go. I guess it's too late for the rest, as the heroine is only nine years old.
