🤔Since she literally just sold the recipe for Candied Hawthorn to the restaurant; it seems to me that it would be more showy and ostentatious to gift that, than gifting a little meat. Also, since noone has had candied Hawthorn before they might be slow to try the dish or even understand her intentions. That being said, giving the candies hawthorn is a good idea even if the logic she is using is flawed. Really, there was no reason to mention meat at all.
Muniang had already thought about making candied haws to give to every household in the village. Over the years, most of the villagers had helped her family; otherwise, she and Mrs. Lin would have starved to death. Gifted meat to every household would appear showy, and she was not that affluent anyway. Candied haws, though inexpensive, were novel and popular, especially with children in every household.

Yes, sugar is a luxury product. You can process sugar from things other than sugar cane; such as sugar beets. However, I'm not aware of which plants grow wild in China that would be suitable for sugar processing.
Er Liang got the fire going, and then Muniang brought in some washed hawthorns to the kitchen, skewering them one by one onto the wooden sticks she had just whittled. She rinsed the pot with clear water twice to completely wash away the greasy smell before pouring sugar cane into it. After stirring evenly with a spatula a few times, the sugar began to melt gradually. There was no rock sugar here, only cane sugar, and Muniang figured it would have to do—it should not make too much of a difference.

One day I will be able to remember the monetary system in these novels. But that day is not today. Maybe I should try to make a chart.. err.. An egg = 4 wen; 500 wen= a tael of silver; N tael of silver = an ingot of silver.. and still there is gold... and land should be remembered in the same way that in middle school all my money was equated to books. I could get popcorn and soda at the movies or 2 books at the bookstore.
Soon, the housekeeper brought over the silver, a total of five silver ingots, which is fifty taels.

The original Gu Youyou had started drinking this medicine at the age of seven and continued until she was seventeen, when she finally was poisoned to death six months ago, and then the modern descendant of a traditional Chinese medicine family, Gu Youyou, took her place.
The Challenge of a Farmhouse Son-in-Law
History · Cherry Blossoms Falling
I really like that the author keeps reminding us of who these people are. Sure it might be wordy but it helps keep all the characters straight.
Mrs. Zhang, the wife of the eldest son, and Mrs. Han, the wife of the fourth son, initially said that Su Yunjin had awakened, but Mother-in-law Mrs. An did not believe it.

It seems that the missing content from the repetition is only the parts where the main characters have any intent of physical intimacy. It interferes with the flow of the story a great deal. I'm not totally against the idea of content repetition if it is done well and if there is a reason for it. Having physical intimacy at the end of a chapter, to then remove it at the beginning of the next chapter, could meet the second requirement. However, the key is that there doesn't need to be that much repetition; perhaps one or two lines, and there should be an agreeded upon symbol used to denote the beginning of an end of the physical intimacy in the story. In this way readers who get embarrassed reading about more than holding hands can skip those sections. That would make the repetition meet my first requirement of being done well. On the other hand by skipping those sections the reader does miss some of the main characters' development in their personal character growth and relationship. Mainly, my take away is that the content repetition in this story is about as well done as Fat Fat and Fatty's hair cut.
Perhaps this was the most similar aspect of their characters.

Is that a thing that works? 🤔 somehow I feel like you would end up with burnt ginger .. but maybe that layer of burnt ginger keeps the fish from sticking. My fish cooking skills are limited to one recipe; so I really wouldn't know.
Before simmering the fish soup, she rubbed the bottom of the pot with ginger to prevent sticking.

"Only around.." the time when the fireflies start their mating light show, "did she go to bed."Is that when she went to sleep? or maybe she went to sleep, "when the bats returned to their colonies;" if she went to sleep later. Or perhaps it's something like "when the constellation of the (some made up constellation; perhaps called The Great Merchant) descended below the horizon."

TRANSMIGRATED WITH A HYPERMARKET SYSTEM
Fantasy · GEEGEE
in the sentence "... check if there are alive..." "there," should be changed to "they are," or the contraction "they're." "There" is a word that refers to a place, such as "not here but over there." "They are" refers to a group's state of being. Be careful of your autocorrect thinking it knows better than you.

Invited to work in a Chinese kitchen in America; this sounds exhausting.
During her study in the United States, she'd learned to cook to avoid the local fast food. As a result, over the years, her culinary skills had dramatically improved. She could prepare a variety of standard home-cooked dishes very well, and even a few signature dishes worthy of a banquet. In the year before she left the United States, she was even invited to work as a chef in a Chinese restaurant, which helped her quickly save up the money to set up a clinic back home.

There is a tense issue in this paragraph. The word "bind," should be the word "bound."

TRANSMIGRATED WITH A HYPERMARKET SYSTEM
Fantasy · GEEGEE
Usually I'm against changing names in translations, but these names are madness inducing. There's the mother-in-law; Wang Clan, the daughter-in-law; Little Wang Clan, and the grandson (a.k.a. Little Wang Clan's son), Little Wang Clan. There has to be a better way to go about translating their names so when we have all three characters interacting with eachother it isn't a confusing mess of "Little Wang Clan," yanking her own ears or a confusion on who committed the offense. Maybe the grandson could be called "Xiao Wang Clan," "Child Wang Clan," or "Wang Clan Baby." Or maybe they can all three just be renamed "Alan" with a different spelling; mother-in-law; Allan, daughter-in-law; Alen, grandson; Allen.
However, Little Wang Clan was Little Wang Clan's mother, so for the time being, they had not had a full falling out.

Cough cough, she guessed that guy must have been holding back for too long. His wife was right beside him, yet he couldn't do anything and also couldn't resort to Lady Five to take care of his needs, leading to a mind full of unhealthy thoughts.

Is it a new form of Polio? Sorry, I keep seeing documentaries about polio when I turn on my TV. I didn't quite understand the speed at which polio incapacitates a person. Truthfully, I didn't have much concept about the realities of polio. So, while my brain is assimilating and ruminating over the knowledge; it's easily brought to mind.
The Zhuang family's Third Young Master's illness was getting more and more serious. It was said that it is an old illness that could not be cured. Everyone in the aristocrat circle knew about it. They had already heard that someone wanted to take advantage of the chaos and was preparing to hostile takeover their company at a low price.

I am at least thankful that in this sentence she wasn't called "Eldest Maid." "Eldest girl," might not be the best translation connotation wise, but Daohua is only 9 years old. So, at least it makes sense. ~ Also, your comment's obvious emotions made me happy. 😀
Ping Tong promised with a smile, "Rest assured, Madam, I will take good care of the eldest girl."

New senior maid? Shouldn't Ping Tong be "sizing up this" New eldest daughter? I'm pretty sure our Female Lead didn't move into her father's house to become Cinderella.
Meanwhile, Ping Tong, who was leading the way, was also quietly sizing up this new senior maid.

Family members just keep showing up in this story. It's so exciting. At first I thought there was only 2 daughters. Then the third daughter shower up to make trouble. And now there is a brother hinted at. Is there a real brother or a hypothetical not yet born brother? I don't know but we'll find out sometime.
Liu Shi was shocked as she thought about this. This was the Eternal Peace Marquis's residence, which ultimately would be her son's possession. She couldn't let Eternal Peace Marquis's residence be ruined. As for Yun Qianyu, she would deal with her later.

If she had used her real name her husband probably would have found her by now. I'm sure he left orders to look for someone with her name. 🙄
At that moment, she felt extremely fortunate to have faked her name!

Are they perhaps common nicknames for people? Sort of like, how I call my Twin about 12 dozen different names in a day. Yet, I still expect her to answer me everytime. She does the same to me. However, I imagine other people might find it difficult to keep up with the name changes.
