Those Years I Called Li Shimin My Brother

Xie Jing suddenly obtains a pocket dimension and is utterly stunned. The apocalypse is coming! What are you waiting for? Sell the car and house, and stockpile supplies!

His pocket dimension is packed, but the apocalypse never comes. Instead, he transmigrates to the early Tang dynasty and becomes a farm boy south of Chang'an: three thatched huts, no parents, elderly grandparents, and two scrawny little pigs.

With his pocket dimension full of supplies, he needs a plausible explanation for taking anything out.

Xie Jing decides to raise pigs, get rich, and trade for supplies!

Before he can get rich, a rough fellow shows up wanting pig's head meat. His name is Cheng Da.

The next day, a reserved old man comes by hoping for braised pork. He goes by Qin San.

On the third day, a dark-skinned man introduces himself as Yu Si.

Before long, an honest, forthright young man appears. His name is Li Er.

Xie Jing: I'm raising pigs, but I'm not a pig! Can you put a little thought into your names?
