Back in 1978, I Started a Farm in the Mountain Village

[Urban Farming] + [Dual Travel Between Eras] + [Business and Farming] + [Laid-Back Lifestyle]

At forty-two, Li Qingshan is divorced and bankrupt. He returns to Yunling Mountain Village with his tail between his legs, rents an abandoned old house, and opens a farm restaurant that serves just one table a day. His old classmates laugh at him for running away from reality, while his ex-wife thinks he’s beyond saving. No one knows that, with the black jade pendant passed down in his family, Li Qingshan has opened a portal between 2028 and 1978. In that era of scarcity, he trades a handful of fruit candies for genuine wild produce, and a few feet of polyester fabric for aged liquor and precious mountain delicacies. Top-quality ingredients from 1978 end up on the tables of his 2028 farm restaurant, where wealthy customers line up in luxury cars just to taste a meal cooked over a wood fire with all-natural ingredients. Li Qingshan fans himself with a banana-leaf fan as he watches guests line up in his courtyard. His life is no longer filled with frustration and inner turmoil, only the relaxed comfort of trading goods between two eras.
