I Became Famous While Farming on the Outskirts of the City

Lin Tian died at the age of forty-five, suffering from advanced gastric cancer. He was in debt and spent half his life wandering. When I opened my eyes again, I was back to when I was thirty! He had just dragged his suitcase back to his ancestral home overgrown with grass on the outskirts of the city. Everyone in the village laughed: The Lin family boy can't survive in the city! The relatives calculated: sooner or later this poor yard will be ours. Even the parents sighed: What are you doing when you come back? What can be gained from farming? Until... The corners of his courtyard bear black truffles that are more valuable than gold. In his field, he grows watermelons with rainbow colors when cut into them. He grows tomatoes in his shed with a "taste of childhood" that will make you cry when you bite into them. The local snake wants to use dirty tricks? When I turned around, my warehouse was sealed. Industry giant wants to acquire? In an instant, the stock price plummeted due to the scandal. Capital wants to enclose land for development? The whole village stood in front of them with hoes: "First ask Lin Tiantong if he agrees!" Later, international food magazines called him a "magician of taste." The Agricultural Forum honored him as "the founder of the new planting movement." And that small suburban village that was once looked down upon by people has become a holy place in the hearts of foodies around the world and a pilgrimage place for scientific and technological agriculture. Many years later, a reporter asked him the secret of his success. Lin Tian carried the hoe and pointed to the land under his feet: "I am just a farmer."
