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

A group of boys who had just finished class and came to the night market to find food huddled together, their faces full of disbelief.

"Holy crap, it really is them! Don't they usually hate places with this kind of greasy smell? What are they doing here today?"

"Look at where they're standing. There's not even a stall in front of them. Are they queuing up for some kind of divine delicacy?"

A boy wearing glasses swallowed hard and whispered gossip.

"I heard that the most beautiful girl from Suzhou University bought a plate of crispy pork here yesterday and raved about it. Could it be... that they came so early today just to wait for that fried pork stall?"

Feeling the curious gazes around them, Lin Xiaoxiao tugged at Su Mu's arm uncomfortably and complained softly.

"Mumu, did we come too early? We still have to wait for more than an hour. I feel like those boys are staring me down."

Su Mu, however, remained resolute. Recalling the unforgettable taste of the crispy pork from yesterday, she swallowed hard and said in a very serious tone:

"Xiaoxiao, believe me, if we didn't come sooner, we definitely wouldn't have been able to get any once that junior student set up his stall. That delicious food is worth the wait!"

About five minutes later, Lin Xiaoxiao felt the increasingly large crowd behind her and anxiously checked her watch frequently.

"Mumu, it's been five minutes already, where's your amazing junior classmate? Did he cancel on us today?"

As Lin Xiaoxiao spoke, she kicked a pebble at her feet with some impatience.

As the school beauty, when has she ever waited for so long in a place like a night market?

There were already nearly thirty people in the line behind her, and many passing boys were staring at her, making her feel very uncomfortable.

Su Mu gently bit her lower lip, a hint of determination flashing in her cool eyes, and said softly.

"Let's wait a little longer. He promised yesterday that he would prepare more ingredients today. He might have been delayed on the way."

Just as Su Mu finished speaking, a commotion suddenly broke out on the outskirts of the crowd.

"Here he comes! The boss is here with his cart!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound.

At the far end of the night market street corner, a tall and slender boy wearing a clean white T-shirt stood...

He was pushing a gleaming, luxurious stainless steel food cart, steadily walking towards us.

The food cart's refreshing off-white color scheme made it stand out among the chaotic stalls of the night market.

On the side of the food cart, in a safe spot with a specially laid soft cushion, sat a delicately beautiful little girl.

Today, Xiao Sizi wore a light yellow tracksuit and had her hair styled in two round buns.

She was still clutching a colorful, uninflated balloon tightly in her hand, and her two short legs were swinging happily in mid-air.

Jiang Feng had just pushed the food cart around the corner when he suddenly looked up and froze on the spot.

"What... what's going on?"

Jiang Feng looked at his stall, which had been somewhat out of the way yesterday, and now there was a long line of people standing there.

The group was winding and numbered at least thirty people, and each of them stared at him intently like hungry chicks.

Although he expected repeat customers yesterday, he didn't expect the business to be this booming.

Little Sizi, sitting on the food cart, opened her mouth wide in surprise and almost dropped the balloon in her hand.

She pointed her chubby little finger at the group of older brothers and sisters in front of her, their eyes shining, and exclaimed in a childish voice:

"Wow... Little Nang, look! So many people! Are they all here to snatch Meatballs?"

The little girl's soft, sweet exclamation instantly traveled across the heavens above, reaching every corner of the world.

The Great Tang Dynasty, Taiji Palace.

Li Shimin, who had been worried about his daughter being in another world, couldn't help but burst into laughter upon seeing the magnificent crowd in the scene, his voice filled with pride:

"Hahaha! Guanyinbi, look! Our Sizi is so popular in later generations! Those talented men and beautiful women of later generations are actually willing to line up in the streets just for a bite of food from Jiang Feng!"

Empress Zhangsun smiled slightly, a touch of color returning to her previously pale face.

"Yes, Your Majesty. Look at those young people from later generations. Although they are dressed differently, they all have rosy cheeks and eyes full of expectation."

"This heartfelt joy gives me even more confidence in the peaceful and prosperous times to come."

The Forbidden City in Nanjing during the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang held a large, rough porcelain bowl, looking at the dark mass of troops in the sky, his brows furrowed so deeply they could trap a fly.

"Hmph! These scholars of later generations are simply unbecoming!"

Although Old Zhu was cursing, his eyes were fixed on Jiang Feng's food cart, a sour feeling rising in his heart:

"People are crowding together in the middle of the street just to get some fried meat."

"But... sister, look at those younger generations from later generations, those colorful bills they casually pull out, and they can actually exchange them for so much meat? Do all the people there have extra money to buy meat to eat?"

Empress Ma smiled gently from the side.

"The name Chongba signifies that in later generations, the land was abundant and the people had no worries about food and clothing, which is why they had the leisure to search for food late at night. This is also a sign of a prosperous era."

Modern night market.

Jiang Feng snapped out of his daze and, under the eager gazes of the crowd, laboriously pushed the food cart to its designated spot.

"Good evening everyone! I'm so sorry, I prepared too many ingredients today and took a while to chop the potatoes at home. I'm sorry to have kept you all waiting!"

As Jiang Feng spoke, he deftly set up a parasol and turned on the gas.

"Boss, you have to give me one today too! My roommate bragged about it to me all night after he ate it yesterday, and I've been drooling for it!" a boy shouted.

Jiang Feng smiled and nodded repeatedly.

"Don't worry, there's definitely enough food today! Plus, we have a new product launch today – you should try our 'Golden Partner Combo Set'!"

As he spoke, Jiang Feng turned his gaze and discovered that the person ranked first was none other than the senior from yesterday.

Su Mu stood under the lamplight, her cool face softened by the warm yellow light.

"Senior, you're in first place today! You're so punctual!"

Jiang Feng greeted him with a smile.

Lin Xiaoxiao couldn't help but tease from the side.

"Junior, you have no idea, our campus belle from Suzhou University dragged me here an hour early to make me stand as punishment just for this little bit of crispy pork."

Su Mu's pretty face flushed slightly, and she gently tugged at Lin Xiaoxiao's sleeve.

"Don't talk nonsense."

Little Sizi recognized Su Mu at this moment, and the little guy jumped up and down on the dining car seat with great excitement, waving his two little hands like a lucky cat:

"Pretty sister! You're here again! Are you craving fragrant succulents again?"

Su Mu's heart melted instantly at that soft, adorable voice. She reached out and gently stroked Xiao Sizi's chubby little hand, saying tenderly:

"Yes, little cutie, your older sister and her roommate came to see you."
