Growing Immortal Herbs in the 1970s

My next novel, The Ruan Family Eatery in the 1980s, is coming soon. Please add it to your reading list by saving it from my profile!

With a pocket dimension for growing immortal herbs, Yu Xiaoyu travels back to the hungry, cold 1970s.

With her father badly injured, her mother exhausted with worry, and a whole crowd of awful relatives to deal with, Yu Xiaoyu learns firsthand just how important a golden finger can be.

Rosewater made from roses becomes a favorite among the young women at the textile mill.

Lavender incense becomes a favorite of elderly women who can't sleep.

All kinds of herbs and plants grown in her pocket dimension become the means by which she leads her family toward a better life.

What she doesn't know is that, to one particular person, she is more effective than any medicine in the world.

P.S. This story is entirely fictional.

The Ruan Family Eatery in the 1980s

When Ruan Ruan wakes up, she's been transported into an 1980s novel, where everything she says and does serves to make the original heroine look good. In the end, she meets a miserable fate, shunned by everyone.

What kind of foil character is that? Forget it.

Wouldn't it be better to focus on her career with a Chef God System?

One morning, Ruan Ruan hangs a wooden sign on the door: The Ruan Family Eatery.

Everyone else watches, expecting a joke. They think she'll just give up and close shop before long.

But what's with all these people lining up so soon? Has the Ruan family finally run out of money and decided to sell their house?

And why does that man who keeps coming to eat at the little restaurant look so familiar?

Isn't he... the newly appointed director of the Bureau of Industry and Commerce?

Ha! The Ruan Family Eatery is in trouble now! The director himself has shown up. Let's see her act so smug now!

A newspaper reporter recognized the director and cautiously approached him for an interview. "What do you think of this new restaurant?"

"It's good in every way, except..."

"Except what?"

"It's too small. There aren't enough seats for all these people!"

Extra! Extra! The little restaurant praised by the director of the Bureau of Industry and Commerce is not to be missed! Come on by!

While everyone expected the worst, the Ruan Family Eatery not only stayed open, it grew more popular by the day. Before long, the family had built a new house, bought a car, and even got a mobile phone.

Everyone was stunned. They were bona fide ten-thousand-yuan households!
