Old Grandet: "Eugenie, my daughter! Look at all these chests and storerooms full of gold coins. Every one of them is the fruit of your father's hard work over all these years, selling wine and making barrels!"
Nanon: "What a load of nonsense. He was lending money at exorbitant interest in Paris and scamming at least two hundred families into ruin."
Nanon: "Predatory lending. More than ten years in prison, with no chance of parole."
Old Grandet: "Nanon! Quick, the neighbor's pig has come over to steal our fruit! Get this shameless pig out of here!"
Nanon: "The pig is eating rotten fruit that fell from the tree."
Nanon: "Sir, do you feel cheated if even a fart doesn't hit the ground and stick to four liang of dirt?"
Old Grandet inspects the estate. "Nanon!"
Nanon: "Miss, look. The master must have eaten too much salt again. He's shedding hair everywhere."
After being transmigrated into the body of a maid in Old Grandet's household, Nanon thinks life is actually still bearable.
Nanon: "Sir, honestly, pinching pennies won't make you rich."
After Nanon works her magic, she successfully becomes... a major pig farmer and the queen of candied fruit processing.
With lean-breed pigs on one hand and a combination of Cantonese preserved plums and French candied fruit on the other, she greatly enriches the French people's dining tables.
Besides that, she's passionate about charity, funds students' education, actively participates in European food cooperation projects, and has donated more than 35 million francs to society... more than Grandet accumulated in his entire life.
Going from maid to France's top food supplier is quite the transformation.
P.S. [Greek Mythology] I've heard I'm the pearl lost in the ocean. Please add it to your collection~
Zeus, the most prolific lover in all three realms, left behind countless illegitimate children through his countless affairs.
First came the radiant Apollo, then the epic hero Heracles.
Among the army of bastards, Tautous is the least remarkable. He has no divine power and no godhood.
His mother is nothing more than a mere mortal.
At the age of five, Tautous, left to grow wild and free, cuts his thumb and mixes his blood into a clay figurine of Zeus.
On Mount Olympus, mighty Zeus suddenly hears a prophecy from the three Fates.
"Among the King of the Gods' bastard children, one will unite the mortal world."
After uniting all of Greece, Tautous refuses to give up and asks, "Only king of the mortal world?! Weren't they supposed to say one of his sons would overthrow his rule?"
Tautous whistles, summoning the army of bastard children. "Brothers, Hera doesn't acknowledge us anyway. Why not storm the heavens?"
Don't ask who I am. I'm the brightest pearl in the vast ocean.
In other words, the pearl lost in the ocean.
Looking at the throng of bastard children filling the hall, King Zeus's eyes widen in shock. "Athena, even you...?"
Athena: "I couldn't help it. He offered too much."
The protagonist has no divine power, just brains, and very effective brains at that.
A satisfying power fantasy with grand ambitions, since the protagonist really is going to unite Greece.
Message: Persevere and build the nation through industry.
Oh, this old guy Grandet also has a touching side.
... Boss, your writing is pretty good, but why are your updates so slow? It's obviously a good book, but it's always so ink. Have you just finished the college entrance examination? It's okay if you just finished the exam, so it's time to pick it up now, right? Write well, otherwise I will lock you in a small dark room in your dream and whip you into writing every day
Hahahahahaha what a coincidence, sir, this is your bad luck
Then you are overthinking it. Ms. Nanon will use her sharp tongue to completely brainwash Mr. Grandet. The more you give, the more you spend and the more you earn, so giving more equals earning more. 😂[bad laugh]
Grandet is really funny hahahahahaha
What to do? Please help Nanon!
It is not easy to write a whole chapter of ideological debate
That Charles is not going to implicate Nanon, is he?
Why was the third-rate director's book banned? I went to Xiaohongshu and saw someone saying it was because the protagonist's name was suspected of being pornographic, right? I originally wanted to finish it, but when I remembered it, it was blocked at first glance. I have already bought half of the book, so can I apply to unblock it? Really like that one
