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

Jiang Chuan walked in carrying several large and small bags, filled with lunchboxes.

Are you hungry?

He put the food on the table. "Eat quickly, it's still warm."

Zhu Jingjing stared at the lunchboxes, stunned.

Jiang Chuan opened the lids one by one, revealing a large box of glistening, steaming braised pork, a box of scrambled eggs with tomatoes glistening with oil, a box of stir-fried seasonal vegetables, and a plate of stir-fried beef with yellow peppers.

In addition, there was a large box of white rice, the grains of which were crystal clear.

The fragrance instantly filled the entire room.

Zhu Jingjing's stomach growled again, much to her dismay, and her face immediately turned red.

Jiang Chuan laughed: "What are you standing there for? Eat!"

Zhu Jingjing swallowed hard, but couldn't help asking, "Did you buy all of these?"

"yes."

"That must have cost a lot of money, right?"

Jiang Chuan waved his hand: "It's not much. The food in the cafeteria is nothing special. Later, I'll take you out to the night market and eat at a restaurant so you can broaden your horizons."

Zhu Jingjing looked at the dishes on the table and suddenly pointed to the plate of stir-fried beef with yellow peppers: "Is this beef?"

"yes."

Jiang Chuan was a little puzzled. "What, you don't like beef?"

Zhu Jingjing shook her head and whispered, "No, we in the Ming Dynasty don't allow the killing of cattle. Cattle are for farming, and killing them will land you in jail."

Jiang Chuan paused for a moment, then laughed: "Oxen? We don't use those things anymore."

Zhu Jingjing looked puzzled and asked with curiosity, "No oxen? How do you plow the land then?"

Jiang Chuan smiled mysteriously: "Alright, you eat first. After you've eaten, I'll tell you all about the Ming Dynasty and its present state, how about that?"

As he spoke, Jiang Chuan broke off a pair of chopsticks and handed them to Zhu Jingjing.

Zhu Jingjing took it, carefully picked up a piece of translucent, reddish-brown, glistening braised pork, and put it into her mouth.

Then, her eyes widened instantly.

The moment the meat chunks enter your mouth, an endless burst of fresh, sweet flavor fills your mouth, melting in your mouth and rich yet not greasy!

"Hmm!"

Zhu Jingjing covered her mouth, her eyes filled with disbelief.

too delicious!

This meat is a hundred times, no, ten thousand times tastier than the imperial cuisine she ate in the Ming Dynasty!

Zhu Jingjing didn't care about her image anymore, and her chopsticks moved quickly.

She tried every dish: braised pork belly, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, stir-fried seasonal vegetables, and stir-fried beef with yellow peppers.

The flavors were different, but they were all so delicious that she wanted to cry.

What she didn't know was that even being born into royalty or nobility was useless in ancient times.

No matter how good the ingredients are, the seasonings are a major weakness.

Putting aside everything else, just the two things like refined salt and MSG were a game-changer for ancient times.

Jiang Chuan watched her eat with a smile.

The girl ate like a little kitten, with rice grains stuck to the corners of her mouth, her cheeks bulging, and her eyes fixed on the food on her plate.

In the blink of an eye, Zhu Jingjing had devoured most of the rice and dishes.

At this moment, Zhu Jingjing finally slowed down and looked up to see Jiang Chuan smiling at her.

She put down her chopsticks, a little embarrassed. "Why aren't you eating?"

Jiang Chuan waved his hand and said, "I'm not that hungry right now! You eat yours, and if you're still hungry, there's more. I'll keep it unlimited, I guarantee you'll eat your fill."

Zhu Jingjing's eyes widened. "These can be extended indefinitely?"

Jiang Chuan nodded: "Yes, it's the cafeteria. Putting everything else aside, the food is definitely plentiful."

Just as Zhu Jingjing was about to speak, suddenly...

Jingle Bell!

A ringtone came from Jiang Chuan's pocket.

Zhu Jingjing was so startled that she almost dropped her chopsticks.

Jiang Chuan took out his phone and, seeing her nervous expression, explained, "Don't be afraid, it's just a phone."

Zhu Jingjing stared at the glowing flat object in his hand, her eyes full of curiosity. "A telephone? What's that?"

Before Jiang Chuan could explain, the call was already connected.

"Jiangchuan?"

It was a man's voice, sounding to be in his forties, with a strong and energetic tone.

Jiang Chuan replied, "It's me."

There was a pause on the other end of the phone, then it said, "You must be present for the test launch tomorrow morning. The time is set for nine o'clock, don't be late."

Jiang Chuan smiled, "Don't worry, the test firing will be flawless. I'll personally oversee it."

The male voice on the other end of the line also carried a hint of amusement, "Good! I'm relieved to hear that. I'll be waiting for your good news!"

The phone hangs up.

Zhu Jingjing stared at the phone in Jiang Chuan's hand, her eyes full of doubt. "Who was talking to you just now? I didn't see that person."

Jiang Chuan waved his phone and explained to her, "This is a mobile phone. It allows you to talk to other people remotely, even if you are hundreds or thousands of miles apart, it's just like being face to face."

Zhu Jingjing was stunned.

Can you make calls anytime, anywhere, even if you're hundreds or thousands of miles away?

The Qin Dynasty, Xianyang Palace.

Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng immediately stood up.

"What?"

His voice changed, "Can you communicate anytime, anywhere, even thousands of miles away?"

Li Si, Meng Yi, and the others were also dumbfounded.

Ying Zheng stared intently at the small, flat piece in the sky, his eyes burning with fervor.

"If this kind of thing were used on the battlefield..."

Ying Zheng's breathing became rapid. "Then what need is there for the 800-li urgent dispatch? What need do I have for messengers? Isn't this a divine artifact!"

Meng Yi was also incredibly shocked and said, "Your Majesty, if such a thing truly exists, the army can be commanded from the rear with ease..."

The Great Han Dynasty, Weiyang Palace.

Liu Che also suddenly stood up.

"A message transmitted over a thousand miles?"

His eyes widened. "Such a wondrous object exists in the world?"

Huo Qubing was stunned: "Your Majesty, if our Han Dynasty also possessed such a weapon, would we still need to exert so much effort in defeating the Xiongnu?"

Liu Che slapped him on the shoulder and sighed, "That's right! When the time comes, you will lead the troops into battle, and I will know how the battle is going from Chang'an!"

Wei Qing muttered to himself, "This is far more powerful than our beacon towers!"

The Great Tang Dynasty, Taiji Palace.

Li Shimin was also taken aback by what he saw.

"This thing can actually transmit sound over a thousand miles?"

He couldn't help but mutter, "If the Tang Dynasty had such a thing, I could know about urgent reports from the border in an instant, which would be so much more convenient."

Changsun Wuji was also extremely excited, saying, "Your Majesty, this is probably a divine artifact, a true immortal artifact!"

Li Shimin nodded, then shook his head.

He couldn't possibly have something like that, no matter how much he wanted it; it was something from hundreds or even thousands of years in the future.

The modern world.

Jiang Chuan hung up the phone and saw that Zhu Jingjing was still staring blankly at her phone, so he didn't explain further.

He took two cans of Coke from the refrigerator and pulled the tabs.

With a puff, bubbles surged and rose.

Zhu Jingjing looked at the red jar with curiosity.

Jiang Chuan handed her the cola, "Here, have a taste, this is our modern beverage."

Zhu Jingjing took it and carefully took a sip.

The strong bubbles burst in her mouth, making her nose sting.

"Cough cough cough!"

She suddenly vomited, her pretty face full of confusion, "What, what is this?!"

At the entrance of the Fengtian Hall in the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang was startled.

"What is that thing?"

He stared, wide-eyed. "Bubbling, or black?"

Zhu Di was also startled and exclaimed, "That boy wouldn't be planning to poison my elder sister, would he?"
