Chapter 9 Summer mornings are the coolest time of day. Qian Jianing glanced at the clock on the wall—five o’clock sharp. She was surprised it was still so early. After drinking that glass of wine and following the Food Elder through his mortal past, waking up again felt like waking from a dream. Tiptoeing out of bed, Qian Jianing quietly washed up, changed clothes, and rode her tricycle out. Today she was selling liangpi (cold skin noodles), so she bought over ten pounds of cucumbers and carrots,…- 234.4 K • Completed

- Chapter 11 Considering the midday foot traffic and the level of acceptance from the nearby residents, Qian Jianing brought out five hundred portions of liangpi. At first, Li Wanzhen was worried they wouldn’t sell out and might go bad, but now she realized that just her daughter standing there was like having a living billboard—there was no such thing as not selling out, only not being fast enough to get some.

Qian Xiaomi had previously set up her street food stands in the eastern, southern, and western parts of town—nowhere near her home. Though Zibo City isn’t large, Qian Jianing had only been…

- Chapter 13 There were only a few numbered tickets left in Qian Jiafeng's hand. As his stomach growled and he was about to ask Qian Jianing for something to eat, four people got off the bus at the Dongyi Street intersection. Seeing the long, winding queue, they ran over whining, "Oh no, oh no, we might not get any this time." Qian Jiafeng counted the tickets—there were exactly four left. As the group ran up to him, he hurriedly stuffed the tickets into their hands. "You guys made it just in time for…

- Chapter 14 Treasure Bowl was just like Doraemon, his two chubby little hands rummaging inside the pouch on his belly and fishing out a fingernail-sized model of a house. He looked at the item in his hand with reluctance and sighed mournfully, "I won this from Food Elder back in the day when we were playing Landlord." Qian Jianing looked at the golden, glowing trinket in his hands and asked a bit guiltily, “Is this treasure very valuable? Maybe I should draw again instead.” As soon as she said…

- Chapter 15 The Cheng and Qian families lived three doors apart and had been neighbors for many years. The man of the Cheng family was named Cheng Tianxiang. A couple of years ago, the factory where he worked went bankrupt. Unlike other workers who were drowned in despair, he grabbed the little money they had at home and went to the provincial capital. He returned with a bulk of mirrored sunglasses and long stockings, which were quickly sold out. Having tasted success, Cheng Tianxiang set his sights on…

- Chapter 1 On a summer afternoon, the blazing sunlight streamed through the window, falling on a sleeping girl. She seemed to be having a bad dream, her brows tightly furrowed, a hint of pain on her face. Her long eyelashes fluttered slightly. The girl turned over in bed, the sweat on her head and body making her sleep increasingly restless. As a bead of sweat trickled down her cheek, she finally opened her eyes in a groggy daze. Her big eyes stared blankly at the ceiling. It took a while before…
