The plot of this manga is simple, an ex salaryman who is summoned to another world and receive a cultivation skill. He was seemed as someone useless and was exiled. The MC gets drunk and plants a bottle of alcohol and the next day he has a field full of bottles. Basically the MC can harvest anything that he plants without any rule or limitation.

If farmer isekais already have broken protagonists, the simple fact that now this protagonist can grow ANYTHING is even more broken, since it breaks all the limits of the world. Do you need extremely rare material? Don't worry, we only ... need one piece to grow hundreds of thousands of kilos of material. That there is an order for stratospheric quantities of a certain product within 5 days? Don't worry, we only make one and I can harvest the rest. This work is like that, a loop between the need for something extremely rare or scarce and our protagonist producing it in masse, breaking the market. Things don't stop there, our protagonist has as allies people who have some type of super strong ability but who cannot take advantage of it because they need a specific tool. Once again, our protagonist with his convenient ability has what it takes to bring out the maximum potential of his allies. This work can be summarized in that, in a script full of conveniences that only our protagonist can solve.

Coming from the title one would not have high expectations coming out of this manga and in a way that is a fair assessment. The isekai trope is used so much that in the market saturation not many stand out from the crowd and this isn't the exception. Needless to say, it didn't surpass expectations but it had some ideas going for it nonetheless.

From the get-go, the story starts with the trope of an adventurer being transported to another world with a skill that at first is deemed useless but quickly the reader realizes it is actually quite overpowered. This time is the skill to ... cultivate anything and considering our protagonist is a merchant it is easy to realize where that leads to: making profit from a business while keeping it secret. The thing is that as the story progresses the companions he meets are ones that also have an overpowered skill but lack a very specific item that can conveniently make our hero convince them to join their business. From this point onwards you can tell how it goes even without spoilers so if this sounds like an interesting enough idea, go for it.

Do take into account though the journey is not a smooth one as our protagonist while being in another fantasy world really treats certain situations as business related. This makes some answers to the requests awkward to read as well as some interactions which don't come as emotional as they could. Plus, knowing the demographic for this title the mangaka made sure to include some fan service content between volumes which while somewhat funny leave the reader with a sense of dissatisfaction. At the very least the art doesn't look half bad outside of some facial expressions, and the detail of some attacks in the battle scenes is commendable. Also, the way they are able to overcome certain situations can be considered clever, so there are some highlights overall.

It's iffy to recommend it since the manga ended a while ago and yet the last 20 or so chapters can be quite hard to find. Otherwise I would spend my time looking for something else.
