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

I highly recommend "Sky Curtain: A Modern Journey with Zhu Jing, Shaking the World!" Go straight to the exciting parts.

The Great Ming Dynasty, Fengtian Hall.

"What exactly are these 'two legs' that Jiang Chuan spoke of?" Zhu Yuanzhang gazed up at the sky, his brows furrowed. "Could they possibly propel a giant ship like a floating city?"

Empress Ma, upon hearing this, said slowly, "Chongba, have you forgotten that 'airplane'? Since later generations can make giant steel birds soar in the sky, they will surely have the ability to make this giant ship cut through the waves and sail on the water."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and sighed, "The creations of later generations truly rival the wonders of heaven and earth! If my Great Ming Dynasty could be like that, I would gladly abdicate the throne and give up being emperor!"

modern.

"Don't be ridiculous!" Jiang Chuan said sternly, his face hardening. "Sailing a ship is no child's play. If there's even the slightest mistake, everyone on board will perish at sea."

Zhu Jingjing pouted slightly, her voice softening: "Brother, I understand, I won't watch anymore... Please don't be angry, okay?"

Jiang Chuan smiled wryly, his eyes filled with doting affection, and gently patted her head: "Silly girl, how could I get angry with you over such a small thing?"

Lin Xiaoyu glanced at the time and said, "Jiang Chuan, you take Jingjing and play on the deck. I'm going to talk business first, and I'll come find you later."

Jiang Chuan was taken aback: "Don't you need me to come with you? You asked me to come with you, not to help you, right?"

"You're so bad with words, how can you be of any help?" Lin Xiaoyu rolled her eyes at him. "I called you here mainly to bring Jingjing out for some fun."

After saying that, she walked towards the cabin, but suddenly turned around just before entering: "By the way, I might need your help with something small later, so don't make excuses."

Jiang Chuan gave an OK sign and replied, "Don't worry, since I promised to help, I will definitely keep my word."

The Great Tang Dynasty, Taiji Palace.

Li Shimin looked up at the sky and saw that the deck was as wide as a field. He couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, "The deck of this ship is so wide. Not to mention pedestrians, even warhorses can ride on it."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Liang's eyes lit up, and he cupped his hands, saying, "Your Majesty, how can our soldiers be without horses for this eastern expedition against Goguryeo? I believe that our Great Tang should also build a giant ship specifically for carrying horses and military supplies!"

Li Shimin shook his head slightly and said slowly, "This matter is probably not easy. Even if we can build it, our Great Tang does not have the kind of advancement technology that later generations have. If we rely solely on sails and manpower to row, who knows how many years it will take to reach Goguryeo, and I'm afraid we will miss the opportunity to fight."

modern.

Jiang Chuan played with the little princess on the deck for a long time, but Lin Xiaoyu was nowhere to be seen.

"Brother, when is Sister Xiaoyu coming back?" Zhu Jingjing gently covered her stomach with both hands, looking a little embarrassed. "I haven't had lunch yet, and I'm getting a little hungry..."

Jiang Chuan affectionately pinched her cheek and said with a wry smile, "You little glutton, it's not even noon yet, and you're already hungry?"

"But I'm just hungry." Zhu Jingjing pursed her lips, her voice filled with grievance.

Jiang Chuan took out his phone and sent a message to Lin Xiaoyu, telling her that he would take the little princess to eat first.

"Jingjing, let's go eat first. Don't worry about Sister Xiaoyu, I've already sent her a message," Jiang Chuan said.

Upon hearing that they could go out for a meal, Zhu Jingjing's aggrieved expression instantly vanished, replaced by a sweet smile: "Brother, let's go quickly! This cruise ship is so luxuriously decorated, the food must be especially delicious!"

Top deck of the cruise ship, the main restaurant of the Ocean Star.

As soon as Zhu Jingjing entered, she was dazzled by the huge crystal chandelier overhead.

She tilted her head back and gazed at it intently for a long time. "Brother, this lamp is so beautiful, so sparkling!"

"Jingjing, this is a restaurant, everyone is eating, please don't talk loudly." Jiang Chuan quickly covered her mouth gently, while giving an apologetic smile to the curious glances from all around.

Zhu Jingjing nodded repeatedly and obediently followed behind him to sit down in an empty seat by the window.

A waiter in uniform came over and handed over two menus.

Zhu Jingjing took the heavy, thick booklet, opened it, and was immediately stunned.

"Brother, what is this?!" She pointed at the picture, her excitement having completely forgotten Jiang Chuan's warning. "That copper pot is filled with a dark, murky liquid, and it's surrounded by fruit chunks, marshmallows, and ice cream scoops. Is this even considered food?"

Jiang Chuan was slightly taken aback. There were foods he didn't know about?

He quickly leaned over to look at the picture the little princess was pointing to, and suddenly realized, "Jingjing, this is called an ice cream fondue, and the copper pot contains chocolate sauce."

"Brother, is this good?" The little princess's eyes lit up, clearly very fond of this unique hot pot. "Since it has cotton candy, it can't be bad, right?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chuan couldn't help but smile wryly. This little princess was probably going to become a captive of cotton candy.

"Jingjing, to be honest, I've never tried it either." He lowered his voice and whispered in her ear, "Actually, I don't recommend you order it. Most of these innovative dishes are just for attracting attention; the taste isn't that good."

Zhu Jingjing stared intently at the picture, biting her lip hard. "Brother, I think you should try everything! I'd like to order this, is that okay?"

Jiang Chuan nodded indulgently. After all, Lin Xiaoyu had said that she would be responsible for all their expenses on the ship.

Since the little princess wants to eat it, let's grant her wish.

The chocolate sauce in the small copper pot was bubbling and steaming, while on the plate next to it were neatly arranged strawberries, bananas, marshmallows, and several white scoops of ice cream.

Zhu Jingjing asked, "Brother, how do you eat this? Can you eat that black sauce directly?"

Jiang Chuan chuckled, picked up a fork, stuck a strawberry in it, rolled it in chocolate sauce, and handed it to her: "Here, like this!"

Zhu Jingjing didn't reach out to take it; instead, she opened her mouth wide.

"Jingjing, are you just going to swallow this big piece whole?" Jiang Chuan teased, but still put the strawberry coated in chocolate sauce into her mouth.

In an instant, her eyes widened and she froze.

"How is it?" Jiang Chuan asked with a smile.

"Brother, this...this is so delicious!" She covered her mouth, afraid she would shout out loud. "The strawberries are cool and sweet and sour, and the chocolate sauce on the outside is warm, slightly bitter and sweet, all mixed together...how wonderful!"

"What nonsense is this?" Jiang Chuan picked up a tissue and wiped the chocolate sauce from the corner of her mouth. "Now that you've learned how, do it yourself. I can't keep feeding you, can I?"

As they were talking, Jiang Chuan suddenly noticed out of the corner of his eye that someone was walking briskly straight toward them.

He frowned slightly, turned to look at the man in his early fifties, and asked, "Is there something you need?"

"Jiang Chuan, what's wrong? Don't you even recognize me?" The man walked up to him and slapped him hard on the shoulder. "Back in the day, you were a regular at my house!"
