Chapter 134 Xi Junjie held Zhenzhen’s hand, and in the blink of an eye, he found himself in a lush forest. “Your ability is amazing,” he marveled again. “If we travel in the future, we could visit several places in a single day.” Zhenzhen’s eyes crinkled with a smile. “And we can leave whenever we want—super convenient.” Xi Junjie looked around. Towering red pines blocked out the sky, letting only tiny patches of piercing blue show through the canopy. Underfoot was a thick layer of…- 472.9 K • Completed
- Chapter 130 Mission Objective: Restore 10% of the nation’s green coverage to pre-disaster levels. The system defines “pre-disaster” as before the Harma Storm. Prior to the Harma Storm, national green coverage was 198.2 million hectares. Currently, it stands at 39.2 million hectares—just 2% of what it once was. “What are your thoughts?” Liu Wensheng asked after reading the report. “Now that arable land has increased, the main source of national green coverage is still forests.” “Even…

- Chapter 20: Sudden Misfortune Zhao Mengcheng had no idea about the scheme unfolding behind him. He was busy munching on tanghulu. These tanghulu were made from the wild hawthorn commonly found around Changhe Town, coated in a layer of shiny sugar that made them look bright red and very appealing. Zhao Mengcheng popped one into his mouth after another, but once the sugar coating was gone, the sourness made him grimace. He glanced over and saw the three little ones all sticking out their tongues,…

- Chapter 19: Dried Tofu The sky was just beginning to brighten when the three little ones, too excited to sleep, scrambled out of bed. In the next room, Zhao Mengcheng was still sound asleep. Not wanting to wake their father, the three children crouched by the door, peeking in and out. Nowadays, Zhao Mengcheng only sold tofu from home and had hired people to do the grinding. His workload was much lighter than before; he only needed to get up at a set time to add the brine. Every time he finished…

- Chapter 18: The Secret Recipe Zhao Mengcheng's first idea was to turn Qingshan Village into a tofu village. The location of Qingshan Village was awkward. It was neither too close nor too far from Changhe Town, but it was a considerable distance from the pier, meaning it couldn't benefit from the trade there. To make matters worse, it was a place with many mountains and little arable land. Relying solely on farming to support a family was a tight squeeze for everyone. Consequently, most of the…

- Chapter 17: Repaying the Debt Zhao Mengcheng had only walked a short distance when he ran into a small old man, who happened to be Liu Sanshu. Liu Sanshu was like any other old farmer in the village, with a sallow complexion and a permanent frown that made him look as if he were nursing a deep-seated grievance. "Third Uncle," Zhao Mengcheng called out. Liu Sanshu kept his hands behind his back and frowned. "I was just looking for you. I have something I want to say." Zhao Mengcheng smiled.…

- Chapter 16: Helping Out "I couldn't sleep tonight, so I thought I'd come over and give you a hand," a scrawny man said with a smile. Zhao Mengcheng frowned. This man was Liu Fengping, the younger brother of Liu Fengshou. Unlike his older brother, who was well-off and generous, Liu Fengping was a loafer who loved taking advantage of others. "Uncle, if you want to buy tofu, come back in the morning. We're busy right now and don't have time to entertain you," Zhao Mengcheng said, trying to see him…

- Chapter 15: Reputation By the time Yingbin Lou became lively, Zhao Mengcheng had already finished selling his tofu and returned home. Wang Ming had been grumbling the whole way back. "Brother, Shopkeeper Wang invited you to stay for the poetry gathering1. That was such a great opportunity. Why didn't you agree?" Zhao Mengcheng smiled and asked in return, "I've only studied for a few years and know a few characters. I have no official rank, no talent, and no family status or reputation. Rashly…

- Chapter 14: The Zhao Sisters "Second Uncle," Zhao Xiaohua called out tentatively. Zhao Mengcheng was coaxing the child when he turned to see Zhao Xiaohua standing ten paces away, smiling brightly at him. His mind whirred for a moment before he remembered that the person before him was his nominal niece, Zhao Wencheng's younger daughter, Zhao Xiaohua. Zhao Mengcheng had a very poor opinion of Zhao Laoda and wished they could remain estranged until death. This coldness extended to the man's…

- 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. Ivory chopsticks struggle to lift it, for it is richer than marrow. One laughs at those in Beiping1 longing for milk, when the frosty blade cuts through the powdery pastry as they…

- Chapter 12: Business Uncle Wang and Wang Ming were strong and didn't fear hard work, but in the end, they only managed to make two hundred pounds of tofu. It wasn't that they couldn't work anymore, but making tofu required soaking the beans in advance, and that was all the soybeans they had. Before the sky was even bright, Zhao Mengcheng and Wang Ming prepared to set out. "Mengcheng, are you home?" Just as they were about to head out, they heard a voice. Looking over, they saw the Old Village…

- Chapter 98: Cleanup New Year’s Eve. Even though fireworks and firecrackers were banned in the city, it was still the holiday, and occasionally, the sound of kids playing with pop-its could be heard in the villa neighborhood—crackling and popping. The blue diamond Patek Philippe on his wrist reflected brilliant starlight. Liang Jinguo glanced at it—4 p.m. The steamed perch on the stove was just about ready. He got up and, with the small pot on the side bubbling with hot oil, sprinkled…

- Chapter 11: Counting Money The three Zhao siblings cheered, surrounding their father as they walked back, their small faces filled with uncontrollable excitement. A villager who knew about Zhao Mengcheng's business passed by and teased, "Mengcheng, it looks like business is going well." Zhao Mengcheng simply smiled in response. When they reached the door, Zhao Mengcheng stopped. "Wang Ming, wait a moment." As he spoke, he counted out ten copper coins. "This is the wage we agreed on." Wang…

- Chapter 10: Hawking After paying the city entry fee, they walked south for a while to reach the market of Changhe Town. Zhao Mengcheng had thought they arrived early enough, but upon reaching the site, he saw that the stalls were already packed. 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 8: Brine Setting Tofu1 These past few days, Zhao Mengcheng had not been sitting around doing nothing. Combining his own knowledge with the memories of the original owner, he realized that there was no Tofu in this town. The cost of making Tofu was low, the process was simple, and it was a low-risk way to make money quickly. It could solve the Zhao family's pressing emergency. Originally, he had wanted to wait a bit longer, but Zhao Chun was already too restless to stay home and had gone…

- 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…

- Chapter 5: Night Talk "Dad, we can eat like this once in a while, but we don't need to eat like this every day," Zhao Chun couldn't help but remind him. Zhao Mengcheng knew the child was worried and understood that no matter what he said now, they wouldn't fully believe him. He said, "It's already cooked. Not eating it would be a waste. I'll find a way to handle things in the future." Hearing this, Zhao Chun indeed lowered his head and began to eat heartily. Zhao Xin was already eating so…

Seeing the child was frightened, Zhao Mengcheng quickly comforted him. "Dad is fine, just a little tired." "Then you should rest quickly. I'll cook as soon as I finish brewing the medicine. I'll call you to eat once the food is ready," Zhao Chun said immediately. Other people's children seemed more and more filial the more he looked at them.…
