Chapter 220 Can't do anything
After helping Peng Shanshan solve her problem, Lin Liuyi received a bunch of upgrade stones as a gift from her. Before she could even be happy, the system notified her of a new reward.
"Huh, is this a wild fruit?" Lin Liuyi picked up a fruit. This thing seems to be called a raspberry.
Lin Liuyi still remembers how Mr. Lu Xun described it in his book: "It is like a small ball made of small coral beads, both sour and sweet, and its color and taste are far better than mulberries."
Lin Liuyi ate one, and it was indeed sweet and sour.
"Get rich! Contact that reader!"
While Lin Liuyi was eating wild fruits, readers in another world were eagerly anticipating what was to come.
"Zhu Zi, what are you doing? Hurry up and go home!" Ding Lan from the past life, Zhu Zi in this life, sighed.
"it is good!"
Speaking of Ding Zhu, who was Ding Lan in her previous life, she couldn't help but sigh. She had only stayed up late working overtime, but when she woke up, she had turned from a woman into a man, and a little baby at that.
Every time she hears someone call her "Pillar," she can't help but roll her eyes. The nickname is just awful, and her family is just too poor.
Even in my past life, no matter how poor I was, I had never eaten this kind of food: wild vegetable soup without any oil and an endless supply of sweet potatoes.
At that time, sweet potatoes were not like the various varieties available today. Nowadays, sweet potatoes are not only much less sweet, but also quite coarse to eat. However, this was considered a good meal in the village.
Ding Lan forced herself to finish her meal and then ran up the mountain with her friends. She had no choice; if she didn't eat, she would go hungry.
After searching for a long time, I finally found a few raspberries.
She carefully ate one, chewing it slowly and savoring its sweet and sour taste.
Suddenly, Ding Lan noticed a book shining with golden light in front of her, and she was overjoyed.
"I knew it! How could someone who transmigrates not have a cheat code?" Ding Lan eagerly opened the book.
When she first arrived here, she also thought there would be some kind of cheat code, "System, space, little elf, old man?"
She secretly chanted all the names in her mind, but couldn't utter a single sound. Now, just when she was feeling disappointed, her lucky charm appeared.
She's going to use her special ability to reach the pinnacle of life!
"Why is it a romance novel?" Ding Lan's excitement turned to coldness after reading it. She could have read it before, but in this world, it was completely useless.
Her life's peak, before it even began, was stillborn.
Seeing the word "reward" at the end, she felt utterly hopeless. What was there to reward? She was completely broke, with only these few wild fruits left.
Just as she thought of this, the last wild fruit in her hand disappeared.
She was a little surprised that the book even wanted wild berries. Then, would it help her exchange them for some money? Isn't there a system that allows you to exchange things?
Ding Lan stared longingly at the glowing book, but in the eyes of her older cousin Ding Daniu, her younger cousin seemed even more clueless.
When my younger cousin was born, I heard that he had been in my aunt's belly for too long and was a little slow-witted.
After being pushed down by the village children a few days ago while playing outside, he was even more stunned when he woke up. What will he do now? Ding Danu shook her head.
Ding Daniu held Ding Lan's hand, and the two went home together. Ding Lan kept her eyes fixed on the book in front of her, hoping it would conjure something up.
But to her surprise, nothing happened until she arrived at her doorstep.
"Waaah, it seems her life is over," Ding Lan said, bowing her head and trying to hold back her tears.
"Zhu Zi, go play by yourself! Big Sister has to work!"
Ding Lan sat in the corner of the yard, watching her eldest cousin clean the yard, feed the chickens, boil water and cook.
Sigh, I'm somewhat glad that she wasn't a girl in this life!
While Ding Lan was still marveling at the moment, the system's video call invitation finally arrived. She answered it immediately!
"Huh, it's a little boy!" Lin Liuyi was annoyed. After Lele, another child had appeared.
"Sister, sister, I'm a woman!" Ding Lan quickly retorted.
"Pah, no, I'm a boy in this life, but I was a girl in my past life!"
Lin Liuyi was just about to ask if the other party thought she was easy to fool when she heard this sentence, and for a moment she thought she had misheard.
"Wait, you just said, in your past life?" Lin Liuyi asked tentatively.
Then Ding Lan presented everything on a tray.
"Then you're in a bit of a predicament!" Lin Liuyi looked at her with sympathy.
"That's right, we're never getting enough to eat!" Ding Lan complained bitterly.
"No, so even if you time travel, you can become rich? Didn't you come up with any ideas?" Lin Liuyi felt that this was not going in the right direction. Usually, the plot is that you time travel first, then become rich and take the imperial examination. How come this sister is almost starving to death?
"What ideas can I come up with? All I knew was how to study." Ding Lan was also worried. In her previous life, she came from a well-off family and was an only child who had never worried about money.
"Pig offal?"
"I can't make it, and besides, my family can't afford those spices," Ding Lan shook her head.
"Selling jianbing guozi at a street stall?"
"This family doesn't have the money to buy any new furniture."
"Um, a recipe for selling vegetables?"
"I'm a complete novice in the kitchen."
Well, Lin Liuyi had nothing to say.
"So, what do you want to do?"
"I don't know how to do anything. I've thought about it. In ancient times, people were scholars, farmers, artisans, and merchants. I still have to study and take the imperial examinations!" Ding Lan's idea was quite good.
"Then the question comes full circle: do you have the money to go to school? You still need to find a way to make money!" Lin Liuyi suggested to her.
"How about I give you a recipe for making tofu?" Old Mrs. Liu and her family started their business by selling tofu.
"Well, my family can't afford a stone mill," Ding Lan said embarrassedly.
"So poor?" Lin Liuyi couldn't believe it.
That's right, he's that poor. You know, this is all the clothes he owns. He was shocked when he first found out. These were hand-me-downs from his older brother who had outgrown them.
"Then you'll need to find a business that requires no investment! How about selling herbs?" Lin Liuyi thought of another idea.
"I'm sorry, I don't know anything about herbs," Ding Lan said, becoming increasingly embarrassed.
Lin Liuyi looked at the other person's head, five years old in age and three years old in height, and thought, forget it, even if we know each other, we might not be able to find any medicinal herbs.
"Tell me what you have here, and I'll think of a solution for you."
This is quite a complicated situation, but she has to help the child.
She just asked Ding Lan, and she said that Ding Lan doesn't have any personal space at all. It's not easy to give her food now. She said that her brothers are all very shrewd and can smell what each of them is eating.
Yes, she could smell it, so Lin Liuyi had no choice but to give her some chocolate to tide her over.
Ding Lan, who was eating chocolate again, was so happy that she almost cried. She declared that Lin Liuyi was her lucky charm sister!
