Little Lucky Girl Farming in a Famine Year, Best at Making a Fortune

When Jiang Sui opened her eyes, she had been transported to an ancient era suffering through three years of drought.

The harvest had failed completely, and corpses of the starving littered the land. Her own grandmother sold her to a lame old widower for half a sack of bran.

Jiang Sui looked at the bran bun in her hand, hard enough to kill someone if thrown, and tossed it into the trash.

[Ding! Item deposited: 1 bran bun. Exchange received: 10 jin of white rice!]

Jiang Sui: "?"

That very night, the whole village smelled the aroma of white rice wafting from the Jiang home.

From then on, Jiang Sui began a fortune-making spree, raking in wealth across the dynasties. The rotten vegetable leaves others rejected became pickles she sold for a fortune. The dead rats her enemies threw away earned her a whole litter of live rabbits, which she used to throw a banquet and infuriate her rivals. The chipped bowls and broken pots in the hands of refugees were all treasures to her. She kept collecting until she had half the realm in her hands.

When the famine ended, an imperial inspector took stock of the granaries across the land and was so shocked that he dropped his pen.

The name that appeared most often belonged to a woman.

Someone asked whether Proprietor Jiang wanted to find herself a good husband. Jiang Sui worked her abacus without looking up. "This proprietor only keeps company with silver."
