A Shop from the Start, Connecting the Tang Dynasty and the Modern World

Zhang Xin owns a restaurant in Xi'an. He trained as a chef and has spent eight years hanging around the history forum on Tieba.

Wang Hui is his girlfriend. She graduated with an engineering degree and often stops by the restaurant to help after work.

After closing up one day, they went to the cellar to fetch some pickled vegetables, and ended up at the bottom of a dry well south of Chang'an.

The two of them transmigrated together.

Cheng Yaojin was the first to hear a noise coming from the dry well.

Li Shimin was the first to find it.

At the bottom of the dry well in southern Chang'an, there is a 4G signal.

From then on, Xin's Restaurant gained a group of unusual customers, with all the key figures showing up in one go.

This is not a story about an emperor conquering the modern world.

It's about a modern man using his own hands, a wok, a pickup truck,

and a mobile phone

to propel the Tang dynasty into the year 2026.
