Chapter 252 A Bestselling Product Featuring Purple Eggplant - Purple Cheesecake
Fate has sent this adorable baby rhinoceros to MIT—a magical place brimming with ancient wisdom and modern technology. The little rhinoceros is about to witness firsthand the engineering and computer science here. Finally, will she be able to bring the most advanced technologies from the Media Lab and the Center for Artificial Intelligence Research (CSAIL) to Datang?
Wow! The first super lucky baby carried by Little Sizi is actually a helicopter bird with a purple eggplant plush toy on its head! It traces a silvery trail in Chang'an City where the morning mist has not yet dissipated. The helicopter bird is inlaid with small diamonds of Anker Red Pigeon Blood, and it hovers in Li Shimin's eyes.
"I dreamt of the little bird on that helicopter, and it was so wonderful!" Erlang Xiaolangjun told his wife, Changsun Wende, about his dream from the previous night.
"It hovers over those ancient buildings, in a country called Europe... possessing both the exquisite grandeur of Baroque and the fresh delicacy of Rococo..."
"Oh? Your Majesty, what are Baroque and Rococo?"
Li Shimin: "I cannot explain it clearly for the time being, but I see some strange symbols." Li Shimin drew "Baroque-1-7" with a brush.
"What kind of writing is this? I can't understand it."
"There are probably some very dramatic empresses, religious emperors, and gold-loving enthusiasts..."
Changsun Wende was a little worried. He picked up the celadon bowl and said, "Your Majesty, please stop talking nonsense. This is porridge made with mutton and rice, which is specially for treating weakness." No wonder the Tang Dynasty's Six Codes recorded that the imperial court's meals needed to be "nourished according to the season." It was winter at the time, and Li Shimin obediently listened and drank this bowl of nourishing mutton porridge before going to court.
Upon returning from court, Li Shimin was still pondering the core images of his dream from the previous night: twisted spiral columns, wavy walls, and a sense of dynamic blurring and contrasting light and shadow… The dome of the house was covered with murals, and the folds of the clothes sculpted with gold leaf seemed to float like silk… Based on these memories, Li Shimin commissioned seven court painters to create a painting titled "Versailles' Victoria's Secret Fashion Show" over seven days and seven nights, which he presented to his grandson, Changsun Wende. Miraculously, she conceived Princess Jinyang that very night…
"Wow, this flying phoenix looks just like Li Bai's roc!" The "helicopter roc" that Xiao Sizi is holding is a super popular new toy designed by the Tang Dynasty royal family. "Babies from Luoyang, Yangzhou, Suzhou, and Chengdu, don't you want one?"
Hey, come on over! Let's step back into the world of "The Great Tang Rhinoceros" and see how the little rhinoceros guides the young men of the Great Tang Dynasty to turn their intelligence into an industrial advantage!
Baroque red foil carvings and Rococo canelé patterns intertwine on the propeller, like roses on an ornate iron fence stretching their limbs in the morning dew of Chang'an… This graceful creation is the lingering charm of the roc that the poet Li Bai "soared straight up ninety thousand miles," and when its wingtips brushed past the last pot-and-sour pork doll in the snowy northeast, it even picked up the color of the purple eggplant in the Tang Dynasty princess's rouge toy box…
Little Sizi fell asleep with the Kunlun purple melon cheese pillowed on her head, the flying apsaras of Dunhuang. The gilded incense burner from the Tang Dynasty still lingered on the table, its smoke rising. The embroiderers in Chang'an were all re-employment targets that Little Sizi had helped. Their fingertips caressed the warm, lustrous dolls, which were now riding mechanical wings across the folds of future time and space...
Zhen Xiaosi, the most beautiful woman in Songliao Province—her identity as a Jurchen princess is fake, but she is a real wealthy woman! She was flipping through the Song Dynasty editions of the Old and New Tang Books with her ceramic-inlaid fingernails when her assistant suddenly burst in.
It turns out that her helicopter dolls, which could emit healing whistles like the Chang'an pigeons, had all gone mad – the propellers, which were supposed to emit healing light waves of rainbow feathers, had now all turned into money-shredding machines, turning the incomplete Buddhist scriptures brought back by Xuanzang from the Western Paradise into a sky full of purple melon paste powder, which went straight into the heads of the grandchildren of the elderly in the provincial capital…
"Boss! Something terrible has happened! This is a disaster!" Assistant Xiao Yao burst into the office carrying a pile of smoking plush toys. "This isn't a healing collection, it's downright depressing!" Because of these batteries, these plush toys have all turned into little fireballs, and once they start, they just can't stop!
Zhen Xiaosi looked calm and even a little excited. "Great! The Nine Purple Fire Luck has arrived!" She put down the old and new Tang books and said to Xiao Yao, "The project manager needs to be replaced. Call a meeting immediately!"
Soon, all the relevant personnel arrived. Only Feng Zishuo, the manager in charge of the Purple Eggplant Helicopter project, felt very uneasy. Just as he was about to present the PPT, Boss Zhen told him: "Zishuo, you are not suitable for this Purple Eggplant project. There's no need to waste any more time... Now, on behalf of the board of directors, I officially announce that the project manager... will be taken over by the new intern, Qingxi..."
Amidst everyone's astonished gazes, Boss Zhen's eyes slowly moved from the smoking button battery inside the purple eggplant to the PowerPoint presentation that Qingxi continued to flip through:
The latest product, "Purple Cheese Crispy Crane," transformed into a helicopter, topped with a purple eggplant, soaring through the skies of the Tang Dynasty like a brave robotic bird... It flew over a row of rooftops and skimmed past a row of lynx statues, those adorable big cats seemingly protecting a magical building.
An uncle carried an adorable baby out of the plane. The little angel held the rhinoceros doll's tiny horn in its delicate white hands, bringing joy and sweetness to the tense conference room! ... The dew on the plane window, like pearls in the morning, witnessed this heartwarming moment.
The airplane propellers spun rapidly, the wind whistling past their ears, seemingly cheering them on. The uncle wrapped the child tightly in a soft little blanket, a protective shield of love and warmth. The wind made it hard for the uncle to open his eyes, but he bravely looked ahead, occasionally kissing the baby's head, encouraging him. He wanted to give the baby all his love… This baby was an abandoned infant born through surrogacy. The baby touched the uncle's mouth with its tiny hand, eager to experience the beauty of this world, to feel the strength of a father…
The uncle carried the baby and the little rhinoceros along a path towards the river, searching for a magical entrance. The shade of the trees by the roadside seemed to whisper stories they had heard. Suddenly, the doll in the baby's hands fell to the ground and transformed into a small, fleshy ball that followed them. Just as the baby was about to cry, the uncle knelt down and let her touch the little animal. "It's called a rhinoceros. Look, it has a big horn, and here's a little horn." The baby smiled and curiously touched the little rhinoceros with its horns, and then the rhinoceros with both big and small horns made a purring sound.
Under the cover of night, this unusually large and small rhinoceros seemed to understand its uncle and baby perfectly, swimming ahead across the lake with nimble and swift movements, leaving an indistinct trail on the water's surface. Even more amazingly, it could also dive.
When the large and small horned rhinoceroses dived to the bottom of the lake, they discovered an ancient stone gate hidden there. The uncle said to the baby, "This is your entrance to another world." The baby could only babble.
Uncle wore a conch shell around his neck. He took a deep breath and blew it. With the sound of the conch, Li Bai's poems exploded like shimmering bubbles... The lake seemed to respond to the conch's call, and the stone gate slowly rose, like a sleeping beast awakening. Behind the gate, a woman with mocha-colored skin quietly appeared, her gaze as unfathomable as an abyss. Uncle handed the baby to her.
“This baby is an abandoned child, a little girl from the wilderness.” The woman with mocha skin took the child, gazing at her gently. The baby’s face reflected the colorful light from the bottom of the lake, and in her eyes was another mysterious world.
"She's so cute! What's her name?" The woman's gaze was fixed on the little one, her tone filled with irrepressible affection, and the baby's cheeks flushed red.
Upon hearing this, the uncle frowned and quickly turned around to search the surroundings repeatedly, but the rhinoceros with large and small horns had already disappeared.
Just then, a deep and firm female voice came from the surroundings: "She has something to rely on, a privilege granted by the Cosmic Temple! Thank you for coming all this way..." Upon hearing the familiar voice, the uncle quickly chimed in: "Her name is Si, you know, that kind of chubby little rhinoceros with big and small horns..."
The woman's smiling eyes widened instantly. "Whose voice was that?" Her pupils flashed with terror, and the smile on her face vanished like petals scattered by the wind.
“Si? It shares the same name as the Snow Country Witch? I’m sorry… I can’t take this child!” Her lips trembled, and her hands felt like they’d been electrocuted as she frantically shoved the baby into the man’s arms.
The man's thick eyebrows were furrowed, his gaze was cold as frost, and his arms hung tightly at his sides, then turned into two cold stone pillars, showing no intention of catching it.
Although the woman was charmed by the baby, she firmly stated, "This is a research university, not a daycare center!! You've sent him to the wrong place."
The moment she placed the child at the man's feet, he suddenly disappeared.
The woman with mocha skin chased after it and vaguely saw a leopard in the distance, which then turned into a fish-like tail and leaped away.
The man disappeared into the shimmering surface of the lake, leaving behind a series of mysteries... His departing voice carried a hint of helplessness, "Only at your school can she be guaranteed safety!"
The lake returned to its calm state, as if nothing had happened.
But the stone gate at the bottom of the lake and the baby rhinoceros entrusted with its care foreshadow an unknown adventure that is only just beginning...
At this moment, the woman picked up the baby again, and a greedy smile appeared on her face: "Don't worry, I will take good care of her!"
