Before she died suddenly: a million-yuan salary, living alone, revising a proposal at three in the morning.
After transmigrating: a village woman who starved to death, two burdensome children, a leaky shack, and a battered pot.
System, Level 1: two energy points a day, a 500-meter scanning range, recipes must be unlocked.
Her: ??? There isn’t even a chicken in this starting setup?
Three months later
Her uncle and aunt came to seize her land. They saw water chestnuts piled high in her field, pale and tender bean sprouts in bamboo trays, and hens clucking as they laid eggs behind the fence. They were dumbstruck.
The village head came to collect taxes. She won him over with a bowl of taro cake, and he turned around and helped her put her uncle and aunt in their place.
A butcher tried to force her into a sale. She brought out a plate of stir-fried bean sprouts. “I’m the only one in the whole world with this skill. There’s no point buying the land. You need to buy the person.”
[The heroine’s survival rules]
Never share her core techniques. Not even her own children are allowed to see the irrigation channel.
Trade eggs and taro at fair prices for protection, turning the whole village into “her own people.”
Grow bean sprouts in the dark mill, plant rice in the wetland by the stream, and raise chickens in the backyard for a complete cycle.
Her husband? They can talk about him after he comes back alive. For now, making money comes first.
[The kids’ adorable daily life]
Little sister-in-law Bai Tao: good at weaving mats and keeping accounts, a sharp little thing and her sister-in-law’s devoted sweetheart.
Little brother-in-law Bai Yang: names the pheasants “General,” counts the eggs every day, and dreams of eating his fill.
From a ramshackle house halfway up the mountain to a mill stronghold, from being scorned by the whole village to leading everyone to prosperity
Li Jin will build her own empire of prepared foods in ancient times.
