[Tags] Transmigrating to 1979 | Farming in the Guanzhong region | No golden finger | Weibei cuisine | Getting rich together | Rural ensemble cast
Lin Zhixia transmigrates into the past and marries Lei Erhu, a farmhand, putting down roots on the loess plateau. For all three meals, they eat pumpkin noodles, vegetable dumplings, chili-oil noodles, chive jelly dumplings, fish-shaped dough served with jiaotuan, and noodles in spicy sauce.
As the winds of reform sweep across the arid plateau, life gradually begins to open up. With no overpowered golden finger, the couple takes the lead, bringing their neighbors together and helping one another. Everyone works together to dry persimmons, make sweet potato vermicelli, hand-pull noodles, and decorative steamed buns, cook qiong guo candy, fry crispy pastries, bake Empress Dowager cakes and stone-oven bread, and stir-fry spicy eight-treasure chili. Little by little, they turn their impoverished village into a famous craft village in Weibei.
The Qiong Guo Tang is sweet to the core, and the honey filling is crispy and oily. The Queen Mother's shortcakes are crumbly, and the stone buns are crisp and refreshing in the wind. The persimmons on the plateau are as sweet as honey, and the farm vermicelli is tough and fresh. The red pepper is fragrant and spicy, and the apple and jujube are refreshing and sweet. Fresh goat milk moisturizes ordinary households, and handmade noodles are full of wheat flavor. The Weibei plateau is full of fireworks, and every meal is full of splendor. And our story officially started in 1979 in Taiyuan, Guanzhong and Weibei. There are no bloody disputes or endless entanglements. Following Lei Erhu and Lin Zhixia, they tasted local food, worked hard during the autumn harvest, and spent time together in the commune. Witness the slow changes in the tide of the times, transforming poverty into an ordinary and good life of stability year after year.
After reading the recently updated chapter, I was deeply moved. The author carefully restored the original appearance of the countryside in Guanzhong, Shaanxi Province in 1979. Pumpkin noodles, pot helmets, stone buns, Bao Gong's rice porridge, raising sheep and buying goat milk, drying corn, making sweet potato flour, and crispy horns... All are memories from my childhood, and there is no exaggeration of golden fingers. It is based on the environment of the times, slowly laying the groundwork, buying lambs privately, and developing a sideline business. The long line is slow and interesting. The characters are vivid and three-dimensional, and the smell of fireworks is coming. I really like the book and wish the work a great success. The author writes very well, but the writing is too detailed, and the pace is a bit slow, which makes me anxious to death 🤦 🤦 🤦 But the good thing is that the people who write about the things in my rural village in Shaanxi can feel that they are happening around me. The quarrels between couples are particularly real, and the women's scoldings are really like those in my village, especially the male protagonist's speech is like the speech of the uncle in my village, but the pace is too slow, and the foreshadowing of many things is a bit long 🤭 🤭 🤭
The writing style is very good. I like to read this kind of pure period literature with short stories and short stories.
