[Transmigration + Farming + Food + Infrastructure + Shopkeeping + System]
Yang Liu transmigrated overnight into the body of a girl who had thrown herself into a river to escape an arranged marriage.
Her original self had a younger brother who was seriously ill and needed money for medicine. With no other options, their parents decided to sell their daughter to pay for it.
Yang Liu woke to find her family destitute. They really were poor. The sick younger brother, kept alive by medicine, was lying in bed, and so was she, having survived her leap into the river.
Her original self came from a poor family, so poor that each day she had only a bowl of some unidentifiable gruel to fill her stomach. Even that was a luxury because she had fallen into the river and gotten sick. Her parents went into the mountains to dig up wild vegetables and chew tree bark to stave off hunger.
Now that she was here, Yang Liu decided things couldn't go on like this. First, she needed to make something tasty. That gruel was simply impossible to swallow.
She was a person from the twenty-first century. How could she go hungry in ancient times? Getting rich was a piece of cake. She could make soap and canned fruit, extract coarse salt, farm scientifically, increase crop yields, and use modern technology to improve agricultural life.
Reader's guide:
1. The male lead doesn't appear in the early chapters.
2. The golden finger is a shopping mall.
3. Family life and everyday matters, with a slower pace.
4. The imperial examination system, crop yields, and item prices are all invented for the story. Please don't nitpick them.
Theme: Create a better life.
I blindly guess that the one who hasn't come back for four years is the male protagonist (Quietly: I actually don't like this setting because the original daughter has left forever for this reason. It is proof that she is being traded like goods. It makes me uncomfortable to think about it)
Off-topic: There is a reason why Western medicines are packaged in capsules. It is not recommended to open them directly. It seems that many Chinese and Western medicines cannot be mixed.
(????) You know a lot.
