    This is an incredibly good book. The protagonist runs a shop in several different worlds. First, the Republic of China era during the full-scale War of Resistance against Japan made me cry buckets. Now it's set in the Tianbao era of the Tang Dynasty.

    The female protagonist uses a system to start a company, improves the welfare of her employees, and tries every means to pay them well; it's a "worker's satiating" novel.

    1. This is arguably the originator of random street vending (in my opinion). It's probably the earliest example of random street vending, with the protagonist being Boss Lin. Later, a whole bunch of random street vending stories appeared, many with the same name, but none quite quite matched the original. 2. This is a novel about opening a shop with a daily updated menu. It's considered one of the more classic food novels I've read. It's alright; the first 200 chapters were okay, but I stopped reading after that. However, compared to other food novels, this one is still pretty good. 3. Running an orphanage is quite good. I read it a long time ago. It's not just about human babies; I remember the babies initially started as small animals before evolving into human babies. The little ones are all very cute. 4. This is about a kindergarten for human babies. I read it quite a while ago, and it's very interesting. I recommend it to everyone. 5. This is a novel I've been following recently where the female protagonist goes back to her village to farm and then sells vegetables online.
