Reader note

Since 1948, when Ma Shouye, a chef in the imperial kitchen, took half a can of old soup and lived among the people, relying on donkey meat to make a living on fire, this old soup has been simmering for eighty years. The first generation abided by the rules, and the second generation abided by their duties. But in the third generation, Liu Bose got lost in the traffic and turned the old flavor into an eye-catching gimmick, almost losing the roots of his ancestors. It wasn't until the capital ebbed and the bubble burst that he finally woke up and re-erected the sign using real materials, bringing the old flavor that was on the verge of being lost back to the market. There are no fancy routines in the whole book. It just uses a mouthful of old soup to explain the words of ingenuity, duty and inheritance. It warms my heart just reading it. 🌱

Reader note

This book can be called the contemporary "Historical Records". It not only continues Sima Qian's historical outlook of "studying the relationship between heaven and man, and understanding the changes in ancient and modern times", but also compresses five thousand years into a series of human stories that can be touched and felt with a bright narrative rhythm and a very graphic language. Reading it feels like having a conversation with Tai Shigong across generations, but this time, he has adopted a popular tone and abandoned the barrier of classical Chinese, but the depth of his insight has not been reduced by half. What you hear is the same ancient soul using the vocal cords of today's people to retell those mornings and evenings that should not be forgotten.

Reader note

In the historical fiction category, I highly recommend the first book. It has good writing, strict logic, compact plot, and is very realistic. War, economy, politics, and resources are very closely intertwined. No time travel, no brainless fun, no cheats, no wisdom, no falling in love, no system. The main plot trend of the first volume: The first volume is about watching a tall building rise, watching the building collapse, and then in the tenth chapter, under the guidance of an expert, a reasonable reversal of tactics is completed. The second volume is full of the bitterness of workers at the bottom of the workplace who are squeezed but find ways to work their way up. The third volume begins with a battle volume, and begins to enter the violent aesthetic of blood and flesh. So far in the fourth volume, the worldview has once again been upgraded to a higher dimension, with the maps of East Asia, Central Asia, and West Asia being fully expanded to include multiple countries and multiple forces, forming a multi-polar geopolitical game pattern. The fifth volume is a passionate and extremely tragic war against the grassland regime. The sixth volume is about peace ushering in after breaking through trade, and a war between the new order and the old order is also going on inside the grassland.

1.📖📖Li Jing looked at his parents and was a little touched. In modern times, he has no father or mother. The best thing for him is the dean and aunt, but since he entered the "national plan", he has no time to go back. SSS-level researchers don't come for free, and geniuses don't take the time to learn. The results are there. It takes countless hours to verify a small project and slowly develop it into a big project. 2.📖📖Don't say "each generation has its own literature" or "one generation has its own success". The standards for judging literature have changed over time. Li Bai's "Jiang Jinjiu" may have been forgotten in the pre-Qin Dynasty. If Su Shi's "Red Cliff Nostalgia" had been written hundreds of years earlier, it might have been considered a vulgar ditty that was not worthy of refinement. Now I don't even know what time and space I am in, so why are I copying poems and novels? 3.📖📖Star Reaching Garden. A deserted courtyard in Dayan Palace. The reason why it was deserted was because his master was Xiao Wanping, the eighth prince of Great Yan. Waking up from bed, Xiao Wanping felt sore all over his body and his bones were almost falling apart. Where is this? Looking around, the ancient buildings, the whispering eunuchs... Memories flooded in. The eighth prince of the Great Yan Kingdom, a fool? Did I wear it? Put it on a fool! His grandma's.
