After transmigrating, Zhong Su finds herself the most hated person around, despised by everyone. From the start, she owes her neighbors and relatives ten taels of silver, and is even planning to sell her six-year-old sister to buy herself new clothes. Everyone is furious, and she is about to be driven out of the village.
The good news: There are no awful relatives or family members.
The bad news: She is the awful one.
Luckily, she activates a Mountain Produce Gathering System. Complete the tasks it assigns, and she can exchange points for food. Once she reaches certain levels, she can even earn seeds unknown in this era.
Chili peppers, tomatoes, sweet potatoes, corn, onions, watermelons, grapes, durians, strawberries... With seeds in hand, she can build greenhouses to grow out-of-season vegetables. Time to make a fortune!
The following year, the town is abuzz:
"What is this delicious food? I've never tasted anything so rare in my life!"
"These red fruits can be used in cooking? They're so tangy and delicious! Shopkeeper, pack me up two more servings to take home!"
"There are grapes in this backwater?! Only royalty can enjoy these! What a windfall!"
"So this is milk tea? I'll buy a cup, even if it costs 100 wen!"
"Tears dampen potato cakes, spicy and numbing, and make me miss home."
"Dipping sauce with hot pot, a winter essential!"
"Zhong Family Barbecue: You deserve it!"
After successfully leading the Zhong family to a better life, Zhong Su's ambitions don't stop there.
Sugar is expensive on the market, so she makes her own. She catches bees, trains them, raises them, and harvests honey. First, she makes sure her family has plenty to eat, then branches out into fruit candies, flower candies, and bizarre-flavored candies. Once they hit the market, they quickly take over the candy business, earning her a fortune.
To avoid attracting too much attention, she needs a powerful patron. The county magistrate's daughter is the perfect choice. And when girls get together, of course they want manicures! She opens a nail salon with the magistrate's daughter and a photo studio with the local painting academy. She turns her village into a bustling commercial street for travel and food, develops rural tourism, and sets her sights on making the whole village prosperous!
