My Days of Reclaiming Land and Cooking in Ancient Times

After working overtime for seven days straight, office drone Li Qingfeng blacked out. When he opened his eyes again, he had become a pitiful, dying young man in an ancient village, with nothing but four bare walls to his name.

The ramshackle house leaked when it rained, the rice jar was nearly empty, and his pockets were even emptier. To top it off, he had a scrawny little sister with a tear-streaked face calling him “Big Brother.”

Li Qingfeng looked up at the sky and sighed. “I never got to enjoy the blessings of the 996 work schedule, and now I’ve skipped straight to hell mode?”

Luckily, in his previous life he’d been the ultimate overachiever, maxing out his survival skills and (short-video-sourced) theoretical knowledge.

No food? The mountains are full of wild greens, the rivers teem with fish and shrimp. Time to whip up some dark cuisine... no, innovative dishes!

No money? Turn bamboo into handicrafts, make soap from scratch, and set the fashion trends in this little mountain village!

What? The taxes are too high? The local bully is picking on people? The neighboring village wants to steal their water?

Li Qingfeng rolled up his sleeves. “Looks like farming alone won’t cut it. I’ll have to ‘plant’ some progress in this backward age too!”

And so, starting with one hearty meal, Li Qingfeng’s life in ancient times gradually became prosperous and lively, full of chaos and commotion. Before long, had he somehow turned a poor mountain village into a secluded paradise?

A cheerful tale of food, making money, raising a child, and using a modern mindset to “scientifically” coast to victory in ancient times.
