Chapter 13: Prosperity "Filtering pearls and grinding snow, the wet mist falls in fine sprays. Refined into nectar, it rises in a plain white robe. Emerging from the box, why fear the square jade might shatter? In the soup, one often sees white clouds drifting by. On vegetable platters, it is often mixed like sheep's cheese.

There were established shops doing business and villagers selling their own vegetables and fruits, making for a very lively scene. Wang Ming felt a bit frustrated. "We're late. All the good spots are taken." Zhao Mengcheng scanned the area. "Let's go…

- Chapter 9: Tofu Feast The brine was slowly poured into the wooden bucket as Zhao Mengcheng stirred continuously with a long spoon. Soon, the white soy milk began to congeal into soft flakes. "A-Mao, go get a few bowls," Zhao Mengcheng called out. Zhao Mao quickly brought over five bowls. "Is this tofu? It really is different from ordinary soy milk. It looks like egg drop soup," Wang Ming remarked in wonder. In the past, he had occasionally had soy milk when he went to work in town. Adding…

- Chapter 7: Scorched Rice1 Most farmers in Qingshan Village relied on the land for their livelihoods. Their income was low, so they typically ate two meals a day during the slack season and only increased it to three during the busy farming season to keep up their strength. Usually, only the wealthy families in the village ate three meals a day year-round. In the past, when the original owner of this body worked as an accountant, his monthly salary wasn't small, but the burden of supporting a whole…

- Chapter 6: Egg Porridge Zhao Mengcheng only breathed a sigh of relief once he confirmed the child was still breathing. He hadn't been able to sleep soundly all night, remaining anxious until dawn. Regardless of what was going on with this child, whether it was rebirth, transmigration, or possession, he had to at least figure things out before making a decision. Zhao Chun and Zhao Xin hadn't noticed anything happening beside them and slept soundly until daybreak. Because he had gone to bed…
