Next up, a food-and-farming story: A Taste of Home in the Countryside
Qin Xi, a food blogger, transmigrates and becomes a young farm girl in Cangyun Village.
Her mother is gravely ill, her little brother is still young, and her father is the only one supporting the family, working from dawn till dusk.
The earthen walls are cracked, the roof leaks, and after eating nothing but sweet potatoes for days, Qin Xi looks at her dirt-poor family and suddenly rolls up her sleeves.
With cooking skills in hand, the world is mine!
First, figure out how to make money, then open a food stall. Let's get to it!
At first, when people hear Qin Xi wants to open a food stall, they think it's the biggest joke they've ever heard.
The villagers come to watch, thinking: What a shame. Such a nice young girl has clearly gone crazy if she thinks she can open a food stall!
Until they see it for themselves:
Buckwheat noodles, cold noodles, dan dan noodles, and clear, flavorful vegetarian noodles;
Sweet rice cakes, steamed sponge cakes, jade-belt cakes, and powder buns piled high like gold ingots in a bowl...
The Qin family's life gets better and better, and their little food stall gradually moves from the village entrance to the town, where it becomes a small restaurant.
The villagers who once looked down on the Qin family have a complete change of heart, and come forward one after another:
"Miss Qin, are you hiring at your place?"
"Could you teach me how to cook like you?"
She's made enough money, but what about Qin Xi's marriage prospects?
The Qin family is worried.
Who could have guessed that Qin Xi would smile and point to the village tutor: "That teacher who blushes so easily seems pretty good to me~"
Lu Zhi comes to Cangyun Village in place of a friend and becomes the village tutor, only to meet a bold young girl there.
The girl is steadfast and strong, and through her own efforts, she improves her family's life.
She also loves bringing him all kinds of food, saying she's come up with a new recipe and needs someone to taste it.
At the same time, she always asks him the same thing: "Teacher, there's a poem that says, 'The road home follows the clear stream.' My name is Qin Xi, and yours is Lu Zhi. Doesn't that mean we're made for each other?"
The first time, he thinks: This girl is so rude!
The second time, he thinks: She's crossing the line again!
Later, he thinks: That might actually make some sense.
Her lively eyes keep turning this way and that, and before he knows it, they've found their way into his heart.
In the end, he thinks: My wife is always right!
Upcoming mystery in the same vein: The Tang Dynasty's Female Coroner
After the Xiantian coup, the Kaiyuan era of prosperity begins.
In the early Kaiyuan years, Emperor Xuanzong reforms the court and executes countless followers of Princess Taiping, bringing stability to the imperial government.
Behind the flourishing age, however, many secrets remain hidden.
Deng Chan is born into a family of coroners and lives with her father. Though their life is poor, they are happy together.
After an accident takes her father's life, she examines his body herself and discovers that there is more to his death than meets the eye.
To clear her father's name, she travels alone to Chang'an, where she becomes entangled in a baffling case.

Using her skill at examining bodies and bones, she and Cui Zhibai, who comes from a powerful family, unravel the clues and seek the truth hidden behind the mists.

After meeting Deng Chan, he has one more wish: to protect her for the rest of his life.
Theme: Justice may be delayed, but it will not be denied.
Why is the heroine so surprised? The previous article clearly stated that the heroine was very ugly in the world, so why did she suddenly become silly and sweet? What a contradiction.
My brother-in-law is having an affair with my sister-in-law. My wife can't stand it anymore, so she should kill them. She pretends to be her sister again. The reason for the fire is to ruin her appearance.
I just want to say something after reading this. It's not that I can't read the article. The progress of the case is okay, but there are some problems with the character creation. The heroine has said many times that she knows that being a coward is a low-level job and she is humble, but she yells at her fellow detectives and orders them to do things. Although it can be explained that we have known each other for a long time and may have a good relationship, the author thinks that in real life, it is uncomfortable for others to treat friends like this. The heroine speaks for the dead with great confidence in front of outsiders. Faced with the infinitely aggrieved promise of her biological father, she immediately forgets all about it... A time-traveling woman has some ideas of a time-traveling woman. Everyone has their own qualities. The author can write a character with a flawed personality, and there is no need to pile everything on one person. The heroine is like a hybrid.
Generally speaking, the plot is relatively dull by chapter 60, and there is not much progress on the masked man, and I don't know what happened back then.
The new article is a food farming article "Taming an Evil Husband", which has been serialized. Welcome to check it out~
There are other pre-received articles in the column, and you are welcome to collect them~
Pre-receipt 1: Ancient Chinese Proverbs "The Works of Female Widows of the Tang Dynasty"
Pre-collection 2: Food farming article "The group loves the little girl"
If you have any interested little cuties, please feel free to move to the column~
I'm really convinced. Can you not say that there is no perfect crime after every case? Isn't it embarrassing? . .
Sprinkle flowers, sprinkle flowers∠※∠※
Lan Yue is also another name for the season.
It's true. The more remote and poor a place is, the more backward it is and the narrower its people's thinking.
If food and clothing cannot be solved, and there is a drought or flood, the villagers who place their hopes on gods and ghosts will do anything.
The author's writing style is very beautiful, and the case writing feels very real. It is a very good article.
