Da Tang Xiao Si Zi: I have a little pouch-like boy.

"Little Nangjun, I want seven braised pork belly again~~"

Si Zi felt somewhat anxious about the polite exchanges between Li Qin and Li Lizhi.

What's the point of all this talk? Let's eat!

"Okay, okay, come on, open your mouth~"

Li Qin was amused by the impatient little princess in his arms. Mingda was so straightforward; she just said she wanted to eat it.

Genuine, cute, and unpretentious.

"Woo~~" Sizi happily opened its mouth wide, gladly accepting Li Qin's feeding.

"Mmm~ So good~~" The little princess immediately showed a satisfied expression as she took a bite of the braised pork.

"Big sister~ Second sister~ Hurry up and celebrate~ The braised pork is so delicious~"

It's not enough to be happy and content on your own; you have to share it with your older and second older sisters.

Xiao Si urged Chengyang and Li Lizhi to eat quickly.

Li Lizhi glanced helplessly at her youngest sister; the little girl really wasn't polite at all.

Sitting opposite me is a young man with magical abilities; who knows what the consequences would be if I angered him?

"Changle, Chengyang, don't be shy, eat quickly, it won't taste good if it gets cold."

Li Qin greeted the women across the table, saying that home-cooked meals should be enjoyed happily, and that being overly polite and formal would be pointless.

Li Lizhi nodded slightly, and first, as Si Zi had instructed, she picked up a piece of braised pork and fed it to Cheng Yang.

Wow~~ So delicious~

The sweet and savory combination of braised pork instantly won over the little princess of Chengyang.

His eyes were wide open, staring intently at a bowl of braised pork.

She had never imagined that there could be such delicious meat in the world.

"Hehe, that's great, right? I know my second sister likes it too~"

Seeing that her two younger sisters praised the braised pork so much, Chang Le also picked up a piece and put it in her mouth.

"Huh?" As soon as it entered her mouth, Li Lizhi looked surprised. After chewing a few times and swallowing it, she looked at Li Qin and suddenly asked:

"May I ask, young sir, what kind of meat is this that is so delicious?"

It melts in your mouth, is rich but not greasy, has no gamey smell like mutton, and is not as chewy as beef.

Li Qin looked at the three sisters with a smile and casually said, "This is pork."

"Pork?!" Li Lizhi exclaimed in surprise.

"Young master, are you joking? Pork has a foul odor, while this braised pork is tender, sweet, and fragrant, without any off-putting smell. It is clearly completely different from the pork you described."

"Yes, you're right. Ordinary pigs are indeed as you say. But with the right processing methods, pork can be transformed into a delicious dish like the one before you, without any unpleasant odor."

"Moreover, the pig you're eating is different from the pigs of your Great Tang Dynasty, at least the breed is different," Li Qin explained casually as he continued feeding the rhinoceros.

No matter what kind of meat it was, the rhinoceros accepted it all and ate it with gusto.

With grease dripping from its mouth, its little feet wiggled happily.

Li Lizhi remained silent. Different breeds of pigs—no wonder, they must have been raised by immortals using secret methods.

At the same time, she gleaned some insights from Li Qin's words.

Your Great Tang Dynasty...

This proves that the young man knew about the Tang Dynasty, and this place must no longer be within the territory of the Tang Dynasty.

Each of the three sisters had their own thoughts while eating the meal.

Sizi didn't care about anything else, just kept eating loudly, directing Li Qin to keep putting food on his plate and feeding him.

Chengyang, while happily enjoying her meal, secretly observed Li Qin, feeling that this young man seemed nothing like what her elder sister and mother had described.

If possible, she would like to come and play with Sizi again in the future.

Ice cream, braised pork, unfamiliar fruits, and the bears, Xiong Da and Xiong Er, have already deeply attracted her.

As for Li Lizhi, to be honest, I have very mixed feelings.

The food was delicious, and the various novelties were also unique.

Li Qin was approachable and doted on Si Zi.

Not to mention that her two younger sisters were already deeply attracted to this place, she herself was just as captivated.

However, as the eldest sister, she still had tasks assigned to her by her parents.

But after seeing this place, she wasn't sure if the things from the Tang Dynasty would be enough to impress the other party and reach a deal.

If the deal falls through, what excuse will I use to try again later?

After all, she still wanted to go to the seaside and also to visit the "Chaoxi" system that Sizi had mentioned.

"I'm so full!"

Sizi patted her bulging belly and smiled contentedly.

Li Qin put her down and let the little princess go to the living room to continue watching TV.

He then accompanied Chang Le and Cheng Yang to dinner.

After a long silence, Li Lizhi suddenly mustered her courage and said:

"To be honest, young man, the reason I came here today is to ask if you are interested in forming a cooperation with our Great Tang Dynasty."

"Cooperation? What kind of cooperation?" Li Qin was stunned. Although he had long thought about the possibility of bringing back some good things from the Tang Dynasty.

But I never expected it to happen so quickly, especially since it was the other party who took the initiative to suggest it.

"I would like to purchase some items that are not available in the Tang Dynasty. Is that possible?"

Li Lizhi got straight to the point, and after speaking, she looked at Li Qin with a slightly nervous expression.

Silently hoping the other party would agree, so that the mission could be completed and there would be a legitimate reason to come here again in the future.

“Something that didn’t exist in the Tang Dynasty?” Li Qin stopped what he was doing and thought for a moment.

"Are you trying to get exclusive rights to the business? To create a monopoly?"

I didn't expect this little girl to be so clever; she knows about the exorbitant profits of monopolies.

"Yes, I have already discussed this matter with my parents. As long as you agree, just name your price."

Since we've already been honest, let's just lay it all out.

This indicates that he is not representing himself, but rather the Tang Dynasty imperial family.

Fearing that Li Qin might refuse, Li Lizhi pointed to two wooden boxes on the coffee table.

"What's inside are gifts for our visit, but also items we can use for trade."

"Gold, silver, Kaiyuan Tongbao coins, rare jade, and some jewelry—as long as you agree to cooperate, we will try our best to collect these for future transactions with you."

All the items Li Lizhi brought this time were valuable commodities.

Silk, cloth, and grain could also be used for trade, but these things were related to people's livelihoods, and the Tang Dynasty didn't have much of them.

Besides, those items are too numerous and large to be transported all at once.

Therefore, Li Lizhi brought whatever was valuable from the palace with her.

This is the most valuable thing their family can offer right now. If even this can't impress the other party, they'll have to give up.

Li Qin glanced at the gifts on the coffee table, somewhat surprised.

I really didn't expect Li Shimin to be so generous, giving away gold and silver jewelry right away.

As for Kaiyuan Tongbao coins, they don't seem to be very valuable.

After only a quick glance, Li Qin turned his gaze back to Li Lizhi and smiled:

"I can agree to the cooperation. As for the details of the transaction, we can discuss it later. Let's have dinner first, and then we can talk about it slowly after dinner."

Nowadays, no one knows how much one can carry during time travel, so it's too early to talk about it.

If it can only carry one or two hundred kilograms of goods, it is probably not enough for the needs of the Tang Dynasty.

Let's talk about this after we figure it out.
