   ❗️❗️Sisters suffering from a reading slump, check this out!❗️❗️A treasure trove of period business novels!❗️❗️ ㈠1. The female protagonist returns to a time of scarcity, starting with a small stall and shop with her father, gradually building a renowned business. She expands step by step, without any special advantages, relying solely on her skillful hands and perseverance to grow her small business. She also never gives up learning, slowly venturing out into the world. Even better, the story is filled with rich regional flavor (likely from Guangxi), every word carrying a nostalgic charm – a must-read! ㈡2. A fictional era with a two-way exchange of goods, using traditional vegetables to trade for modern resources, leading the entire village towards prosperity. No melodramatic conflicts, only neighborly help and support, every word revealing the warm daily life of a traditional Cantonese village. The only downside is its short length; it's simply not enough! After finishing it, I just want the author to write extra chapters! The entire text is filled with the unique local customs and culture of Guangdong.

    1. The post-apocalyptic restaurant management novel is very good. The author has a very imaginative mind, and the monsters they write are truly bizarre. Most importantly, it's not one of those typical business novels. There isn't much interaction between the protagonist and the customers, but the customers are very respectful to the owner (the female lead). The whole story is very heartwarming, and every character seems to shine. 2. The post-apocalyptic hotel novel is also okay. 3. The post-apocalyptic supermarket novel is also okay. 4. The novel about the female lead opening a haunted house is also quite well written. I've written reviews for all four of these books, and they contain fairly objective evaluations.

The first one is about managing a school cafeteria. 🍀🍀🍀 🍀🍀🍀The remaining two, four, six, and seven are time-travel novels, covering various worlds. You can choose to avoid these and choose what you like. 🍀🍀🍀 🍉🍉🍉The fifth book is a novel that might offend the questioner, but although it's set in ancient times, it's completely different from other ancient novels. [Note][Note] After the female lead surrenders, the government buys mountains from them to build factories, allowing ancient people to work directly as laborers. It uses modern management; everything is modern except for the people. 🍉🍉🍉 🔥🔥🔥In ancient times, factories were built because people were cheap; food and lodging were provided for a small fee, and the goods were then transported to modern times for sale.

    I highly recommend the first one. The female protagonist returns from the cultivation world and opens a small fresh food shop called Xiaolin Fresh with her parents, selling various vegetables. The author's writing is excellent. ② Is one I recently discovered; it's okay, but you can't scrutinize the details too closely. ③ Has been on my bookshelf for a while; the author's writing is fine, but I skipped around a bit later on. Overall, it's good.
