Looking for Ancient Times Transmigration Stories About Being Born into the Past and Living a Serious Life. I’ve Always Thought People Back Then Were Smarter Than Us
Any No-CP Farming, Business-Building, or Food Stories?
Whenever a story starts with romance or soft erotica, I feel like I'm going to be poisoned by it. Are there any stories focused on building a career, with a protagonist who's not too obnoxious or chuunibyou?
I Need Ancient-Era Food and Farming Novels!
Looking for stories where the heroine transmigrates to ancient times, cooks, and builds a prosperous life. CP or no CP is fine. Not too many awful characters, and the male lead shouldn’t have too high a status. No palace intrigue, please. Great writing and airtight logic are a must.

The writing is particularly good. The heroine follows each step step by step. There are no cheats except for a recipe, and there are no complicated intrigues. The serious food articles are mixed with the daily life of ordinary people in the city. There are no exaggerated descriptions of how delicious the heroine's food makes others fascinated. The few descriptions of each supporting character are very full and not flat at all. It feels like an orthodox non-CP food article rarely seen on Tomato. Who knows... Usually this type of book has to have a male protagonist or several supporting male characters that are so disgusting that it really makes it hard to follow them. Although the male-female ratio in this book is about 50-50, the descriptions of each character are very normal! They are all upright! Often! There is no very abrupt plot that insists on involving the heroine, and there is no inexplicable emotional line (pointing to the single arrow). There is only a kind of low-level citizen running for a living, which is particularly simple. I look forward to the future development of the heroine! Come on update! [Blowing kiss][blowing kiss]
Very nice to look at. A rare heroine in ancient gourmet management novels has no cp. It was originally well written, and the fact that the heroine has no cp is a plus. Author, I want to kiss you to death. Ignore some minor flaws. First, let's talk about the heroine's character and growth type. An orphan girl who was sold by her parents did not have anything of her own and the sense of security that came with it when she was a child. Therefore, when she was doing business, she had to grasp every penny and make every penny clear. All temporary forbearance for no more than two chapters is for the purpose of getting it back more ruthlessly and accurately next time. That's why she was able to survive and open a shop among the vendors at such a young age, and she seemed cold and stingy when interacting with others. Fortunately, she is growing up, and I pity her for even saying "she is still a child." By the time I wrote the latest chapter of this book review, I had moved between a small town and a county town, and I could count more than a dozen of the neighbors I met, street vendor owners, businessmen and other customers from other professions. In getting along with them, the heroine gradually understood how to maintain a clear sense of boundaries and establish healthy and friendly relationships with people without rejecting kindness. This is something her family never taught her, but she truly felt after she broke free from the constraints and became truly independent. Secondly, the writing style of the entire book is light yet lively. The plot advances quickly. The author's description is very restrained, without unnecessary description of appearance, and focuses more on the characters, including the heroine and various minor supporting characters, including the language, actions and plot advancement. The relationship between the heroine and the old couple in Tofu Fang was played up to the point where she shed tears unknowingly. The writing is mature, and as soon as you read it, you feel as if you have entered an ancient market. It seems that you can really hear the voices of stall owners soliciting customers, smell the aroma of various foods, and hear the hurried pushing and scraping of clothes by people trying to make a living. So after I read this article, I clicked on the same type of ancient articles recommended on the homepage, and found out that other articles did not have this ancient flavor. Obviously this article is not a literary type, but it makes people read it very soothingly, comfortably and smoothly, and the comparison shows how good this article is. All in all, as long as the author maintains this level of writing, I am willing to recommend two or three chapters everywhere. This type of top rush duck!
It is an article with a very sophisticated writing style. The characters and supporting characters are fully described, and it describes the various situations of small people struggling to survive in the Northern Song Dynasty. The heroine is also a child who works very hard. However, it has been updated for a few days and the space is too short. I plan to add it to the bookshelf to keep it and continue reading. Come on, the author [sending heartfelt thanks]
After reading Chapter 155, I am still a little surprised why so few people have read this novel. Let me talk about the small flaws first: sometimes I feel that He Niang is too unreasonable. For example, when I first bought and sold wontons, others came to buy raw wontons and charged the same price as cooked ones. Although it was explained later, it still made people feel that He Niang was talking. It's hard, that's the truth, but as a seller, you can change it to a higher emotional intelligence or a softer term; for another example, merchant Jiang came to support the restaurant when he just opened it and told him what he wanted to eat in advance, but He Niang didn't leave anything for it. I think it's a bit weird. This shouldn't be done to an acquaintance who came to support the restaurant just after it opened. All these things made me feel that He Niang was too "tough" and that this kind of business would drive away customers. In addition, the author likes to use other people's overtly derogatory and covert praise in the article to support He Niang's difficulty and tenacity. It is similar to "you are too young to calculate the best". This type of evaluation seems to appear every one or two chapters. It is too frequent. Despite these flaws, I still think this novel can be ranked in the top 10% of tomato farming novels. The author's writing style is simple and smooth, and the story is eloquent, suitable for reading slowly. Sorry, I have been reading this novel in the form of an audiobook so far. Some details may not be accurate, and the heroine is not always unreasonable. Anyway, I still recommend it to everyone.
A very real account of food stalls set up in the Northern Song Dynasty, comparable to the ancient version of Brother Yong's 360-degree turn. The heroine, the little girl, works hard to make delicious food and strives to make her life better. The human touch of the neighbors in the city is also very good. But how to put it, I personally feel that the rhythm is quite tight, similar to "I just captured a few demons, and subdued a few more demons, why are there so many demons and monsters?" Problems that need to be worried about appear just in time, and problems are solved over and over again, and problems arise and problems are solved again and again without relaxing. It focuses less on food and more on business. Those who like business articles can read it. The above is not to guide the author in writing, but simply to express the reading experience (put the lid on the pot and run away)
It's very good. The heroine is smart and strong. She tied it in one go. I couldn't get enough of it. I'll give it four stars first😞 Some of the plots are quite frustrating, but if you think about it, the author's writing is very real. A helpless orphan girl is even a minor. It is good to be able to live safely. Most of the people I have met so far are quite good. No one is perfect. I hope the heroine's career will be smoother. She deserves it😭
It's tied, it's so good, the whole story is told smoothly, the heroine is really tough, very practical step by step, her character is also very normal, close to life, not exaggerated at all and very real. The plot and daily descriptions are also very smooth, and the heroine's character is reflected in every little thing, not the kind of description that shouts slogans. The characters in the market are very well written and are not black and white NPCs. And you can learn some little knowledge while reading this article, which is really interesting. All in all, I highly recommend it, and I hope the author will update it soon! Can't wait to see He Niang run her own shop!
First of all, let me praise the author's writing style. It is so good and delicate. Through her words, it feels like you are really in the world of the heroine. Every scene around you at every step is real. The storyline is also very good. It is a very warm article about daily life. There are no bad people. Everyone is ordinary, a little selfish, but ordinary people who will help you when you are in trouble. The heroine will exchange money by herself step by step. She will not just find a man to help the heroine, nor will she meet a man who cures his appetite like other stories, and then gets to know many big shots, and finally gets married. This article is a long-term and slow way to understand her life through the heroine. The core is that the heroine will not charm other men through the heroine. (The ratio of women to men is about five to five, but many of the first ones are men.) I'm still reading it, but I haven't finished it yet. It's still being serialized. I will come back to review it when the time comes.
It is a very heart-warming food story. The heroine is smart and witty. She starts from doing recipes and learns steadily, and then opens her own stall. You can't help but admire her. The neighbors are also very realistic, each with their own shortcomings and their own little characteristics. For example, Po Yao's words at the beginning were not pleasant, and I would have started to argue with her at that time, but the heroine not only didn't care, but also smiled and licked her hair. Later, I found out that she was a cut-throat person who took advantage of the soft and not the hard, and got into trouble for the heroine, who has a higher emotional intelligence than me. I had a lot of conversations with my client Zhou Xuanshi, which made me realize that I could handle it this way.
Treasure novel! The author's writing style is very good, the characters are established in just a few sentences, and the plot is very smooth. He Niang is young, but she is super capable, and all the people she meets are good people, and the male-female comparison is pretty good! Looking forward to the follow-up
