Transported to a Primitive Tribe: My Family Makes Sure Everyone Has Enough to Eat

Ye Xing, a PhD in botany, and her family of three are in a plane crash. When they wake up, they've somehow landed in the Stone Age, where people live on raw meat and blood! They're in hell mode from the start: an ancient tribe picks them up as “spoils of war.” They live in a drafty shack, eat raw meat and drink filthy water, and are covered in lice and fleas. They can't speak the language and nearly end up as sacrifices. With their salt running out and winter approaching, the tribe's old shaman only wants to sacrifice them to pray for divine favor. Ye Xing slaps her thigh. “How can we lose this one? My dad inherited the craft of woodworking, my mom is a master of traditional Chinese medicine, and me? I'm a modern-day PhD in botany! Knowledge is the primary productive force!” And so, everything changes: While other tribes are still fighting over raw meat, she leads her people to forage for wild vegetables, grow yams, and find salt deposits. A bowl of wild-onion stew with meat has everyone swooning. While others use crude stone axes, her father improves their tools: mortise-and-tenon stone axes, traps, and irrigation systems. Their infrastructure projects leave the primitive people stunned. While others wait to die when they fall ill, her mother uses herbal remedies and acupuncture, promotes hygiene, and establishes the tribe's first “hospital.” Just as life begins to improve, one crisis after another strikes: Within the tribe, the hunting chief resents a woman being in charge and plots a rebellion. Beyond it, powerful tribes eye them hungrily, and raiders gather at their gates. Worse still, signs of a Bronze Age civilization have appeared in the distance... Ye Xing grips her notebook and sneers. “Then let's crush them with a technological advantage!” Farming and animal husbandry, smelting iron and making paper, establishing laws and building an alliance... On this savage continent, she will kindle the first spark of civilization! [Reading Guide] The whole family transmigrates + infrastructure and farming + a touch of ensemble cast. The heroine is smart,
