Under the gentle, silvery moonlight, the curved eaves of the lamb soup shop were softly outlined in pale light. Inside the main hall, the shop assistant, dressed in a hemp tunic and a square kerchief, put down his broom and wiped the sweat from his face, ready to close up for the night. Creak— A long, drawn-out sound of hinges echoed as the door opened slightly, allowing a narrow band of moonlight to slip into the room. “Wait!” A light, quick figure came running toward the entrance of the lamb…-

The sunset hung high in the sky, gradually fading as time passed. It was springtime, the season of blooming flowers, and the days were growing longer. Had it been winter, the moon would already be high in the sky by now, with the heavens as dark as ink. It was dinnertime. Smoke curled up from every household in Lexiang County. At every courtyard one passed, just a shallow breath could catch the scent of all kinds of dishes—mouthwatering aromas that stirred the appetite and made those still on the road…

"Later on, since I kept going further and further away, I simply stopped going back. Whenever I arrived somewhere, I’d just find a place to settle down and start doing business." "All the ingredients, I’d buy locally from people in the area." "And just like that—going from place to place, stopping here and there—two years passed before I returned to Lin County." At this point, Jin Wan clapped the flour from his hands, picked up a large ladle, stirred the contents of the iron pot, and ladled out…

“Mr. Gu, it took me a long time to figure it out afterward.” “Making lamb soup is just like being a person. Only when you do it with your whole heart will the lamb soup taste good.” “Thinking back to that time, I was so eager to form a connection with you that I foolishly made you some lamb soup… Looking back, you were absolutely right not to eat it. That lamb soup would’ve only made people sick.” As he spoke, Jin Wan rolled out each piece of dough into equally sized circles. His…

Even though City God Xu did not ask Gu Ning'an for help with surrounding and killing the true demon during their time at the City God Temple, if one day Gu Ning'an truly encounters a true demon being hunted by the City God, he certainly wouldn't just stand by. After all, he had many old acquaintances in Lexiang County, and even property here. He didn't want to find that one day, after being away on a long trip, he returned to find that Lexiang County had been turned into a "barren land" by demonic…

“With those words of yours, sir, this old woman’s lifetime of hard work finally feels worth it,” said Granny Sun. “At least someone remembers me, right?” As she spoke, Granny Sun placed the bowls and chopsticks into a soapy bucket on the ground to soak. After rinsing her hands with clean water from a wooden plank, she continued, “Sir, are we sticking to the usual order for the mutton stew?” “As always.” Gu Ning’an nodded and found a seat to sit down. “Alright then, please wait a…

“The main store opened that much later than the branch?” “Logically speaking, shouldn't the first shop the old shopkeeper opened be considered the main shop?” Zheng Hanrui asked with a curious look on her face. The shop assistant shook his head. “I wouldn’t know about that. I’m just a worker here. The old shopkeeper must have his own reasons for how he arranged things.” “Just like our shop's signboard. Which shop doesn’t have a sign?” “But we simply don’t have one.” “If…

A man with only his upper body had two black rags tied to his palms. The cloth looked bulging, and judging by the hoof-like sound when he walked using his hands, there were likely metal pieces padded underneath. When Shi Yi saw the newcomer, he smiled and said, “Zhu Da, back from herding the sheep?” The half-bodied man grinned. “Yeah, I saw you with a stranger and thought I’d come take a look.” “Oh.” Shi Yi pointed to his side. “This is Gu Ning'an, Brother Gu… he’s from out of town…

After being rejected, the "hopeless romantic" buried his head and started eating his lamb soup in silence. The remaining two couldn't help but feel a sense of "sympathy between fellow sufferers" and quietly began eating as well. Qin Hao ate rather crudely, holding a flatbread in one hand and a bowl of soup in the other, alternating between bites of flatbread and sips of soup. Chen Ren, on the other hand, ate very properly—using chopsticks to pick up the flatbread, taking small bites, and drinking his…

Staring at the words reflected in the mirror, Gu Ning'an felt as if a veil had been lifted from his mind after reading them. Now he could confirm without a doubt—he had arrived in this world long ago. He had simply been caught in cycles of reincarnation within the mortal realm, losing a large chunk of his memories. That was why, upon awakening, he had believed he had just transmigrated. The lost memories could have been a side effect of reincarnating through the mortal realm… or perhaps the work of…
