Sky Curtain: With a vermilion mirror, Jing travels through the modern world, shaking all dynasties.

Zhao Xueyun ordered nothing more than ordinary steamed buns and porridge for breakfast. Although it wasn't as good as yesterday's hot pot, Zhu Jingjing still enjoyed it.

After finishing his breakfast, Jiang Chuan went to the kitchen. "I'm going to make a cup of coffee. Would you like to try some?"

Zhu Jingjing nodded repeatedly, her eyes full of anticipation.

Although she didn't know what coffee was, nothing she had eaten or drunk since she transmigrated had disappointed her.

Like a little shadow, she followed Jiang Chuan into the kitchen, watching him perform a series of operations from grinding coffee beans to filtering and adding water, finally producing a cup of steaming brown liquid, and couldn't help but clap her hands.

"Here, have a taste." Jiang Chuan smiled slyly, deliberately not mentioning that sugar could be added, wanting to give her a taste of "bitterness."

Zhu Jingjing blew on it a few times until it wasn't so hot, then stuck out her tongue and licked it slightly.

Instantly, a strong bitter taste filled her mouth, causing her previously cute face to contort slightly. "What kind of medicine is this? It tastes awful!"

Jiang Chuan chuckled. Coffee isn't for everyone, especially without any sugar. "You said you wanted to try it, so you have to finish it all. No waste!"

Zhu Jingjing's lips were high Clearly, she didn't want to drink this bitter water. "No! You didn't tell me it was medicine, otherwise only a fool would drink it!"

Only then did he take out the sugar cube.

It's fun to tease the little princess a little, but if you make her cry, that would be bad.

Jiang Chuan said, "Add a few sugar cubes, then try it again."

Zhu Jingjing added two sugar cubes to her coffee with some skepticism, held the cup to her lips, but hesitated to drink it.

The bitterness from before still lingered on my tongue. Although it didn't taste as bad as the medicine prescribed by the old imperial physicians in the palace, it wasn't much better.

Knowing she was terrified, Jiang Chuan picked up his coffee cup to set an example for her.

As the rich, aromatic coffee entered his mouth, a look of satisfaction spread across Jiang Chuan's face. "Try it again. You might not be used to it at first, but I guarantee you'll get addicted after you get used to it!"

Zhu Jingjing bit her lip lightly, steeled her heart, and decided to trust him one more time.

With the addition of sugar cubes, the original bitterness is greatly neutralized by the sweetness, highlighting the original aroma and flavor of the coffee beans.

"This taste..." Zhu Jingjing closed her eyes, slowly savoring the lingering fragrance on her lips and teeth. "What a magical feeling! It's as if my mind has become clearer, and all the fatigue in my body has been swept away!"

Perhaps because it was the first time her body had ingested a large amount of caffeine, the energizing effect of coffee was very noticeable on her.

"Like tea, coffee contains caffeine, which has a stimulating effect," Jiang Chuan explained after finishing his cup of coffee in one gulp. "However, coffee contains a much higher amount of caffeine than tea, so its stimulating effect is much more pronounced."

Zhu Jingjing had certainly drunk tea before, but she was still a child and didn't particularly like tea; she preferred sweeter drinks.

Although coffee isn't as sweet as juice, she really liked its contradictory bittersweet flavor. "I'll have another cup!"

"No, drinking too much coffee is bad for your health," Jiang Chuan refused without hesitation. "One cup is enough. Any more and you might not be able to sleep at night."

Zhu Jingjing reluctantly nodded. "I really want to take it back for my father to try; he'll definitely like it!"

The Great Tang Dynasty, Taiji Palace.

Looking at the pile of memorials on his desk, Li Shimin longed for the coffee Jiang Chuan was talking about.

Regardless of the taste, the fact that it refreshes and invigorates him makes it the best drink for him.

"Father, Si Zi wants to drink too!" Li Shimin suddenly felt a pain in his chin. It turned out that Si Zi in his arms had started to make a fuss again.

"My dear, let's not drink that. Your father will have the head chef of the imperial kitchen make you some crispy mountain dessert."

Li Shimin hadn't forgotten Jiang Chuan's words that drinking too much coffee was bad for your health. Although he wasn't sure how much was too much, he knew that not drinking it would prevent any problems.

Sizi pouted and said, "No, I'm already tired of crispy cakes and cheese. Sizi wants coffee!"

Li Shimin smiled wryly, gently rubbing the little head of his son, "Alright, alright, Father will send someone to look for him right away!"

The Qin Dynasty, Xianyang Palace.

"Li Si, tell me, which is more effective, coffee or my elixir?" Ying Zheng also showed great interest in coffee. He had been having alchemists refine elixirs for many years, many of which had the effect of refreshing the mind. He just didn't know which was better, coffee or coffee.

Before Li Si could answer, Lu Sheng, who was standing to the side, stepped forward and replied, "Your Majesty, forgive my bluntness, but how can that soup compare to the elixir I have painstakingly refined!"

Ying Zheng remained silent. In his pursuit of immortality, he not only sent Xu Fu and others to sea to find elixirs of immortality, but also supported a large number of alchemists to refine elixirs of immortality. Lu Sheng was one of the alchemists he trusted the most.

Previously, he had completely believed the fortune teller's words, but after seeing the sky, doubts began to creep into his mind.

If the elixir is truly effective, why has Jiang Chuan never mentioned it? Could it be...?

The Great Ming Dynasty, Fengtian Hall.

"Immediately issue an imperial decree: whoever can find coffee for me will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver!" Zhu Yuanzhang waved his sleeve and immediately ordered people to find coffee.

Having trouble sleeping after drinking too much? For Lao Zhu, this is all benefits and no harm!

"Chongba, I have never seen those black beans used as raw materials. Perhaps they are not even a crop from our area," Empress Ma analyzed.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Liu Ji and said, "Minister Liu, you are well-read, but is there any book that mentions this item?"

Liu Ji shook his head. "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I am of limited knowledge and have never seen such a thing before."

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed and said, "Since there's nowhere to find it, why let me know that such a thing exists?"

Empress Ma could tell that Zhu Yuanzhang loved coffee, and said with a smile, "Instead of searching all over the world, we might as well look forward to the day Jing'er returns and brings some back for you."

"I truly hope that Jing'er can return to my side soon!" Zhu Yuanzhang said.

"Chongba, are you hoping Jing'er will come back soon, or are you hoping to drink that coffee soon?" Empress Ma teased.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled awkwardly and said, "Yes, I have everything."

modern.

Jiang Chuan took Zhu Jingjing out the door, intending to first look at the furniture, and then take the little princess to the amusement park.

"Aren't we going to take a car?" Zhu Jingjing asked疑惑地问道 after walking with Jiang Chuan for a while.

Jiang Chuan shook his head, smiled mysteriously, and said, "We're not taking a car today; I'll take you on something even more amazing!"

"Something even more powerful?" Zhu Jingjing asked expectantly, grabbing Jiang Chuan's arm and shaking it repeatedly. "Tell me quickly, what's something even more powerful!"

"Keep it a secret!"

Zhu Jingjing pouted and continued to press, "Tell me! Otherwise, next time I see my godmother, I'll tell her you bullied me!"

"No way! I'm scared of you!" Jiang Chuan waved his hands repeatedly. He was fearless, but he was afraid of Zhao Xueyun.

Zhu Jingjing pressed, "You're scared now? Then tell me quickly, what are we going to ride?"
