Sky Curtain: Random stalls with rhinoceros horns, shaking the entire dynasty.

The Qin Dynasty

Compared to other dynasties' celebration of propriety, righteousness, integrity, and a sense of shame, Qin Shi Huang, Ying Zheng, completely missed the mark.

The moment that cloud radiating soft golden light appeared in the sky, Ying Zheng was completely bewitched.

He stared wide-eyed, took several quick steps forward, and stopped only when he almost fell down the steps.

"Aura of immortality! That's aura of immortality!"

Ying Zheng pointed to the auspicious clouds rolling in the sky, his voice hoarse with extreme fervor.

"Did you see that? That's not ordinary fog, it's golden auspicious clouds! Only when true immortals travel will they be accompanied by such auspicious clouds!"

He whirled around, staring at the assembled civil and military officials and sorcerers behind him, and roared...

"Summon the alchemists! Quickly, summon all the alchemists in the palace! Keep a close watch on this wisp of celestial energy! Don't even blink!"

"Whoever can glean even a trace of the path to immortality from these auspicious clouds and celestial energy will be immediately granted the title of Marquis of Ten Thousand Households and rewarded with ten thousand taels of gold!"

Li Si wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. Although he found it absurd, he could only grit his teeth and shout along.

"Long live Your Majesty! The descent of divine energy is an auspicious sign for the eternal prosperity of our Great Qin Dynasty!"

In a modern bathroom.

Little Sizi had no idea how dramatic his bathing endeavors would cause in ancient times.

She finally clumsily took off her elaborate ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress), and with her bare feet, carefully stepped into the large blue basin filled with warm water.

"Splash—"

The warm water covered her tummy, and a thick layer of white foam floated on the surface—that was the baby bath wash Jiang Feng had just squeezed out.

"Wow! Bubbles!"

The little ox cried out in surprise and stretched out its two little hands to splash around on the water.

The dense foam changed shape in her palm, emitting a sweet peach scent.

"It smells so good! Like fruit!"

Little Sizi, in a playful mood, scooped up a handful of bubbles and smeared them directly on her little face and chin, making herself a white Santa Claus beard.

She looked at herself in the mirror, her beard covered in white hair, and laughed at her own reflection.

Hearing the cheerful splashing and cheerful laughter from inside, Jiang Feng, who was outside the door, couldn't help but smile slightly.

"Little Sizi, be careful not to slip, and don't get bubbles in your eyes."

Jiang Feng leaned against the door frame and loudly instructed through the frosted glass door.

"It's Jidao Island! Little Nangjun!"

A baby's soft, childlike voice responded from inside the door, accompanied by the sound of splashing water.

While washing, the little girl's stomach suddenly rumbled again.

Although I just ate a small piece of crispy pork, it was still a snack, and for a growing child, it would be burned off quickly.

Little Sizi rubbed the blisters off her arms with her little hands and shouted loudly towards the door:

"Little Nangjun, is the mud outside?"

"I'm here, what's wrong? Is the water cold?"

Jiang Feng immediately straightened up and asked.

"Cloth-clad duck~"

Xiao Sizi's voice carried a hint of probing and anticipation.

"Little Nangjun, can I have another seven of those crispy pork pieces I made today tomorrow night? I think I can make another hundred!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Feng couldn't help but laugh out loud. This little girl, even while taking a bath, still thinks about food; she truly is a quintessential foodie.

"Of course! As long as you take a bath and go to bed well, tomorrow night I'll not only take you out for today's crispy pork, but I'll also make you something brand new and delicious!"

Jiang Feng's voice came through the door, carrying an irresistible allure.

"Brand new? What's that? What's that?"

The little ox was so excited that it splashed around in the basin, spraying water all over the floor.

Jiang Feng deliberately kept everyone in suspense.

"It's also golden yellow, crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside. Mixed with a sweet and sour sauce that has a slight numbing sensation, I guarantee you won't be able to stop eating it once you start."

As Xiao Sizi listened to Jiang Feng's description, the delicious scene seemed to appear in her mind, and she couldn't help but slurp her saliva.

"Waaah! I want it all! I want it all! Little slub, I'll be done washing soon, I need to go to sleep quickly, then I can have a good time!"

Hearing the little girl speeding up her bath, Jiang Feng smiled and shook his head.

Taking advantage of this break, he silently summoned the system panel in his mind.

I exceeded the newbie quest requirements today, earning 175 system points.

More importantly, he also received a chance to win a random food recipe.

To truly establish a foothold in the night market tomorrow, relying solely on crispy pork won't be enough; we need new products that can complement it and create a perfect combination.

After confirming that Xiao Sizi was safe inside, he calmed his mind and silently summoned the pale blue, semi-transparent light screen of the system that only he could see in his mind.

"System, use that chance to unlock the next random food recipe to draw it immediately!"

Jiang Feng gave the order in his mind.

[Ding! Command received, the God-level Gourmet Roulette is starting...]

As the system's cold, mechanical voice faded, a giant rotating disc radiating dazzling golden light appeared in Jiang Feng's mind.

The turntable was densely covered with countless dish names, each one radiating an enticing glow.

The turntable began to spin rapidly, flashing with golden light, so fast that the words on it were completely illegible.

After about ten seconds, the speed of the spinning wheel began to decrease slowly, and finally, the golden pointer came to a steady stop on a square that emitted an orange-red light.

[Ding! Congratulations, host! You have successfully drawn the perfect snack pairing: God-tier Crispy Potato Crisps!]

[Relevant culinary experience, secret sauce recipes, and heat control techniques are being imparted... Imparting complete!]

With a "boom," Jiang Feng felt a vast and detailed flood of memories surge into the depths of his brain.

How to select high-altitude yellow-fleshed potatoes with the highest starch content; how to boil chopped potato chunks in boiling water until the edges are sandy and they are just the right amount of semi-cooked;

To control the oil temperature, slowly fry the cooked potato chunks until a thick, golden, and crispy crust forms on the outside.

However, the inside still retains a dense and sandy texture like salted egg yolk;

Most importantly, it's the perfect blend of that divine secret sauce.

The numbing sensation of Hanyuan peppercorns, the spiciness of chili peppers, the sourness of aged vinegar, and the sweetness of white sugar, plus the soul-stirring touches of houttuynia cordata (optional), scallions, and white sesame seeds, are perfectly blended in a golden ratio.

Jiang Feng could even clearly "smell" the domineering aroma of sweet, sour, spicy, and savory flavors in his mind.

"Gurgle..."

Jiang Feng, who had been so busy at the night market that he hadn't had a single bite, was now drooling over the image of the divine crispy potato dish in his mind.

"Wow, the recipes this system gave us are absolutely killer!"
