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

Chapter 8 Little Pouch, this round thing can fly by itself!

With money in his pocket, Jiang Feng felt much more confident.

The most urgent task now is not to research new recipes, but to solve the problem of the little princess of the Tang Dynasty beside me.

Jiang Feng looked down at the ancient ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress) that Xiao Sizi was wearing. Although it was gorgeous, it would definitely be seen as an oddity and attract a lot of attention on the streets of modern times. He sighed helplessly.

"Little Sizi, your outfit is too eye-catching. People will look at us like we're monkeys if we walk down the street."

He's got some money to spare now, so naturally he can't let Xiao Sizi suffer.

Jiang Feng reached out and took Xiao Sizi's soft little hand.

"Come on, your brother has made some money now! Let me take you to the night market up ahead, I'll buy you some clothes for modern little girls, and I'll also buy you some snacks."

Upon hearing that there was more delicious food, Xiao Sizi's big eyes immediately curved into crescents. She obediently held Jiang Feng's hand and happily took steps with her two short legs.

"Okay, okay! Little Nangjun is the best! I want something sweet!"

......

The bustling Nanmen Night Market becomes even more lively as the night goes on.

Colorful neon signs flashed on both sides of the street, illuminating the entire street as if it were daytime.

The various cries of vendors, the sizzling of iron plates, and the laughter of the crowd intertwined, creating the most vibrant and lively atmosphere of human life in later generations.

Little Sizi, this adorable child from the Tang Dynasty, was completely overwhelmed by the sight.

Her little head swayed from side to side, her big, dark, bright eyes filled with countless shocks and curiosity.

"Little Nangjun, look at that!"

Little Sizi suddenly stopped and pointed with her chubby little finger at a huge LED sign that was flashing with colorful lights in front of an arcade not far away, her little mouth wide open.

"Why does that big sign light up by itself? And it even changes color! It's so amazing!"

The little girl was so excited that she kept jumping around, and the two little buns on her head swayed back and forth.

Jiang Feng looked at her adorable, naive appearance and couldn't help but chuckle, pinching her cheek as he patiently explained...

"That's called a neon light. It's powered by electricity, so it glows and changes color. It's like... well, like the colorful stars in the sky being trapped inside a tube."

"Putting stars inside tubes?"

The little ox tilted its head, blinked as if it understood, and then let out a gasp of surprise.

Wow! You guys are amazing! You can even bring down the stars!

At this moment, this heartwarming scene of strolling through the night market is being broadcast live to people of all dynasties through the sky screen without reservation.

The Great Tang Dynasty, Taiji Palace.

Li Shimin stood outside the palace, looking up at the brightly lit, bustling street against the sky, and felt an unprecedented shock to his heart.

"This...this night in later generations is so bright? What are those multicolored lights coming from?"

"Could it really be as Jiang Feng said, that they plucked stars from the sky?"

Li Shimin's breathing became very rapid. Besides being shocked by the lighting technology of later generations, he was even more shocked by the prosperity of this street.

"Guanyinbi, look at the crowds on the street! In this later era... in this later era, there's no curfew?!"

In the Tang Dynasty, the city gates were closed at night, and a strict curfew was enforced. Ordinary people were absolutely not allowed to walk around on the streets at will, and violators were severely punished.

But in this later era, the streets at night were a hundred times more bustling than the East and West Markets of Chang'an during the day!

Empress Zhangsun's face was also filled with disbelief. She covered her slightly parted red lips with a silk handkerchief, and murmured...

"Your Majesty, look at the expressions on the faces of those people... They walk in the night without the slightest fear or restraint. Everyone is smiling and choosing food and goods."

"This kind of heartfelt peace and prosperity is something I have only ever seen in my dreams."

Li Shimin clenched his fists tightly, his eyes flashing with a complex light—shock, longing, and a sense of resentment at being surpassed by later generations.

"The Great Tang... My Great Tang, will it one day be able to achieve such a level?"

The Forbidden City in Nanjing during the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang could no longer eat. He lay face down on the table, staring intently at the sky, his eyes as red as a rabbit's, filled with jealousy and bitterness.

"Girl, look! Look at this!"

Old Zhu pointed at the college students and ordinary citizens coming and going in the sky, his voice trembling.

"These ordinary people of later generations, instead of staying home to save lamp oil at night, are all out strolling in the streets?"

"And look at the shops on both sides of them, filled with a dazzling array of goods—how much silver must that be worth!"

Empress Ma sighed and gently patted the back of Zhu Yuanzhang's hand.

"Zhongba, this is a good thing. It means that people in later generations are living a good life and no longer have to suffer as we did back then."

"We know it's a good thing, but we still feel a pang of jealousy!"

Zhu Yuanzhang slapped his thigh

"Look at the road on the street, it's so dark and I don't know what it's paved with, yet it's so smooth without a single pothole!"

"If our Ming Dynasty army marched across this, how fast would they go? Just how much wealth did the emperors of later generations amass!"

Modern time and space.

Jiang Feng, of course, had no idea about the thoughts of the ancients. He was leading Xiao Sizi to a stall selling glowing bubble balls.

Little Sizi's gaze was completely captivated by the transparent balloons filled with colorful feathers, wrapped with LED light strips, and floating in mid-air; she couldn't move her feet.

"Do you want this?"

Jiang Feng asked with a smile.

Little Si lowered her head somewhat shyly, touched her two little index fingers together, and muttered softly.

"Little Pouch...this round thing can fly by itself...and there are sparkly stars inside..."

Without saying a word, Jiang Feng scanned the code to pay, took the prettiest pink feather glowing pom-pom from the shopkeeper, and tied the thin string that held it to Xiao Sizi's wrist.

"Here you go, this is called a balloon, a gift for Xiao Sizi."

Little Sizi looked at the large balloon floating above her head, emitting soft, colorful light, and spun around twice in delight, letting out a string of silvery laughter.

"Thank you, Little Nang! Little Nang is the best! I have a flying star now!"

The Qin Dynasty

Ying Zheng looked at the floating, glowing sphere on Xiao Si's wrist and trembled with excitement. He grabbed Li Si's arm.

"Li Si! Did you see that?! That transparent bead can move on its own even without wind, and it can fly through the air! Moreover, it can emit a divine light at night!"

Ying Zheng's eyes were filled with fanaticism and greed.

"This is definitely a celestial treasure! In later generations, it's unbelievable that such a magical artifact, capable of flight, can be bought and sold so freely in the marketplace?"

"Jiang Feng casually swept his hand across that glowing black cube, and in return, he obtained such a treasure! That black cube must contain celestial magic!"

Li Si nodded repeatedly in fright.

"Your Majesty is wise! Future generations will surely master the divine arts that penetrate heaven and earth. I will certainly instruct the alchemists to observe the celestial canopy day and night, hoping to unravel the secrets of this flying and radiant phenomenon!"
