1980: I Have a Spirit Spring

"Why are there still people advocating for land redistribution these days?" "They said there wouldn't be any truly awful characters, but a truly awful mother appeared in the very first chapter." "Why isn't it a harem novel? Isn't it about eunuchs?"

I'm always worried that a story with a rural feel might suddenly get into chip manufacturing; this one is actually quite good.

What's the use of having a magical spring to make wine? It's better to create a world-class milk brand to improve children's health. Alcohol is only for the elderly… You could market the ultra-high-end kind, costing thousands of dollars a bottle, or create a reasonably priced milk brand for wider distribution.

In those early, unregulated times, there were miracle springs where you could make health supplements. And since those supplements were genuinely effective, they wouldn't go bust. That was the era when health supplements developed the fastest; there were all sorts of brands like Brain Gold and Ant Power. I drank quite a few brain-boosting supplements when I was in school.

The first chapter describes how planting watermelons damages the soil. If you can grow wheat this year, the wheat won't survive the following year, and the watermelons won't survive either. Normally, you should be growing rice, beans, broad beans, and peas along the edges of the field. Chengdu, Sichuan

Reading aloud is very important, especially for new books. "Following up" refers to the number of people who read the latest chapter within 24 hours. The amount of reading a book receives is crucial to whether it will be recommended, and subsequent recommendations will also depend on how much reading it receives.

Why don't you give your family some of the spring water? Even the chickens are drinking it...

I just want to read books. I get annoyed every time I come across those authors who haven't finished writing their books. Could you please set up a function to automatically block them?

Does anyone in this era still observe a three-year mourning period?

I couldn't even finish the first chapter. Farmland is rotated twice a year. And you're talking about wheat, melons, rice—that's utter nonsense.
