During a year of famine, Wan Chunlan went up the mountain before dawn to dig for wild vegetables and help put food on the table. But she lost her footing and tumbled down the slope, landing with a splash in a place called the Xinlong Agricultural Market!
All kinds of bright red and verdant green fruits and vegetables, plump and vibrant, familiar and unfamiliar, dazzled her eyes.
There were also crispy roast duck, country-style cured sausages, pork knuckles braised in savory sauce... The aromas were enough to make anyone's head spin.
And there were rows and rows of "immortal seasonings" she'd never seen before:
MSG, seafood soy sauce, spice packets for braising meat, hot pot soup base...
She cautiously traded for a small packet of MSG and took it home, daring to sprinkle only a tiny bit into the stir-fry.
The whole family reached for their chopsticks, then stared wide-eyed.
"Ma! Why does this taste so good?!"
Later, she traded for a few packets of braising spices. She followed the instructions, and the fragrance drifted halfway down the street.
On the very first day she took it out to sell, it all sold out, earning her several taels of silver!
Rubbing her hands together, Wan Chunlan got the whole family started on gathering wild vegetables, working out recipes, selling braised dishes, and doing business...
Her "phone" also had all kinds of knowledge taught by immortals:
Can't keep your flowers and plants alive? Here's how to grow them
An inheritor of an intangible cultural heritage teaches you how to make this dish, step by step
Magic? Come see some common folk scams from ancient times
Wan Chunlan worked both sides, eagerly absorbing and learning while expanding her little business. From the village to the county seat to the capital, she gradually led her family to a better life and carved out a life of her own.
Of course, that was aside from the old geezer who still pined for his unattainable first love!
A woman in her forties from Xiangping County became famous overnight after filing a lawsuit against her husband and dragging him straight to court.
After her divorce, Wan Chunlan opened a shop, made friends, and developed new products...
She went from Auntie Liu, to Auntie Wan, to Shopkeeper Wan, to Owner Wan.
All schemes are trifles. Self-reliance is what earns heaven's help.
1. Slice-of-life, slow-paced. Some foreshadowing won't pay off until later, and of course there may be bugs I've missed. Corrections are welcome.
2. The heroine is a genuine ancient woman in her forties, a farmer's wife. Her growth and changes happen gradually.
3. The old man's presence is important to the heroine's later bold decision to take him to court, a crucial step in her choosing her own life.
Theme: Appreciate the joys of modern life
If there is still time to update, but the current situation is not good and you can't write it out, then put up a leave request note and ask for a long leave; if you give up, then solve the V. What does this mean now? I can understand that the author may be a little evasive, but he must also care about the life and death of the readers 💔
Emmm, if you want to abandon the pit, just solve v 💔💔
Can Jinjiang improve it? Authors whose updates are unstable can be directly blacklisted and banned. Otherwise, a group of people will always stop writing and even update every few months.

You're great, another chapter. From a purely literary perspective, this article has great potential. Even if it takes a long time, as long as you write it down carefully when you can, it will be a good article that will be passed down. Even monumental. Your body is the most important thing, follow your own pace. The only thing I would ask you is not to abandon the article. Keep writing as much as you can
In society now. Generally speaking, those who write well and write well are those who are highly talented and sensitive. Their native families have great conflicts. They are students, people with serious mental illness that require suspension of study, or even life-threatening situations. I'm sorry too, but to be honest, nothing is as important as life. This is not a problem of one person or a group of people for a while. It is a social problem that has accumulated to a certain extent and is difficult to change with individual strength. So I don't blame the authors. Just let it happen.
The author will come out and reply. So many readers are waiting for it
I just wrote that Aunt Liu's family is about to stop writing. 😭 The heroine doesn't have her own name yet.
