Farming + the whole family’s comeback + food + infrastructure + imperial examinations
A modern family of five, all from a scholarly household, transmigrates in their sleep and finds themselves in the Yun Dynasty, members of a disgraced official’s family!
The original owner’s family, headed by the Minister of Revenue, was wrongly convicted over negligence in procuring military provisions and exiled to Hexi Town in the southern wilderness. They starved to death on the way. When they open their eyes again, they’re all ten years younger, branded as descendants of criminals, and facing a desperate situation: crumbling walls and no grain left.
Luckily, Su Wan gets a convenience-store mall, which helps them through their immediate crisis. Her grandfather uses a lifetime of knowledge to improve the soil, make compost, and grow taro and yams, producing a thousand jin of grain from barren land. Her father surveys the waterways, turning flood-prone fields into fertile soil. Her mother keeps their household running smoothly. Her brother studies day and night, applying modern logic to his policy essays and vowing to pass the imperial examinations and clear their family’s name. Su Wan breaks through with her cooking, turning wild greens into delicacies, making iced drinks and pastries, and opening a medicinal hot pot restaurant that becomes a sensation in Hexi Town. “Xiweizhai” soon earns a glowing reputation… The five souls from the modern age ultimately see golden waves of grain rolling across their fields, earn honors in the imperial examinations and make a name for themselves in the capital, build irrigation channels across the land, and clear their family’s name.
The plot of the novel became more and more intense, making me unable to extricate myself. Each character is very deeply rooted in my heart and makes me feel very involved. The author's writing style is becoming more and more fluent, which makes me full of confidence in his writing ability!
I was disdainful at first, but later I became addicted to it. It's so delicious. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, the subject matter is really novel, the author's imagination is so imaginative that the plot is coming up one after another, and the foreshadowing is wonderfully laid out. I have read many novels, but this one has a crazy idea that I still want to read it.
The worldview and values presented in this novel are full of depth and inspiration. Through the characters and plots in the story, the author conveys unique insights into important themes such as life, love, and friendship, making readers think deeply.
I was really deceived by this name. I read it several times. I never read it because of this name. But after I started watching it, I really discovered a new world. It's amazing! Highly recommended!!!
It's good, but I can't read other books. It's difficult to read.
The content is wonderful and very beautiful. I like this book very much.
Nice. It made me burst into tears. The best for each other,
