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…

“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…

After tidying the strands of hair that had fallen over her forehead in front of the bronze mirror, Zheng Hanrui moved the mirror aside and smiled as she asked, "Sir, this bronze mirror feels so warm to the touch and has been polished so well—where did you get it? I’d like to buy one too." Gu Ning'an replied blandly, "This mirror was taken from my tomb." Zheng Hanrui: ??? "So it was... buried with you earlier... ahem..." Zheng Hanrui’s expression grew complicated. Whatever she said felt off, so she…

The scholar, the martial youth, and the childhood friend on stilts—all three of them looked at Gu Ning’an with slightly different, complicated expressions. It seemed all three of them harbored romantic feelings for the daughter of the Zheng family... But what did Zheng De think about it? Given how he doted on his daughter, he must be aware that there were suitors for her here in Lexiang County. Yet if he didn’t interfere at all, that alone proved these three young men were of decent…

“Dong dong dong~ dong dong dong~” The woman in the white dress shook the rattle-drum in her hand, producing a rhythmic sound. After distancing herself from the man in fine robes, it only took about the time of one incense stick for the once-bulging cloth pouch on her shoulder to become noticeably deflated. All of a sudden, as she glanced across to the opposite end of the long street, the bored look on her face changed abruptly. “When did Lexiang County get such a handsome gentleman?” As she…
