Taking Liu Yifei back to Northeast China for the Chinese New Year has sent the entire internet into

The scene cuts back to Kaoshantun.

At this moment, the firelight flickered under the eaves, illuminating Fang Yu's handsome, idol-like face, a face that could make countless girls scream.

However, what he did had absolutely nothing to do with the word "idol".

Fang Yu pulled something out of a bulging plastic bag.

Liu Yifei tilted her head to look over.

A bag of spicy strips with an incredibly rustic packaging!

Before Liu Yifei's expression could change, Fang Yu had already torn open the packaging.

"Sizzle—"

A strong, overpowering aroma, a blend of flavorings and chili peppers, wafted straight into one's nostrils.

Fang Yu pulled out a spicy strip as thick as a finger and pierced it through the middle with a bamboo skewer.

Then, with an extremely matter-of-fact expression, he dipped the spicy strip into the still-warm syrup.

It rolled around in a flash.

Take it out again.

And that's how a spicy candy strip coated in glistening sugar was born.

Beneath the amber-colored sugar shell, the distinctive red oil color of spicy strips is faintly visible.

Sweet and spicy.

He forcibly welded two completely unrelated flavors onto a bamboo skewer using syrup.

The happy expression that had just lingered on Liu Yifei's face froze frame by frame.

"you……"

She pointed at the dark dish in Fang Yu's hand that was radiating an evil light, and her voice changed.

"What are you doing?!"

Fang Yu held up the candied spicy strip to the sunlight, admiring it with satisfaction on his face.

"The deluxe version, huh?"

He turned around, facing Liu Yifei and the live broadcast camera, and raised that wicked spicy strip high, as if raising an Olympic torch.

"Hawthorn is fine, strawberry is fine, orange is fine, so why can't my spicy strips be?"

"It also has a heart that wants to be sweet!"

"Today, I'm going to set the record straight for all the misunderstood foods in the world!"

"Every food has the sacred right to be coated in sugar!"

When he said this, his expression was as solemn as if he were reciting some UN convention.

The live stream chat exploded with comments.

[I knew it!!! I knew Fang Yu wouldn't be this serious!!!]

[Spicy candy strips??? These four words together are a blatant provocation to the civilization of human taste!]

It also has a heart that longs to be sweet—even spicy strips would cry if they heard that, but it doesn't, it really doesn't.

Liu Yifei no longer knew what expression to wear when facing the person in front of her.

One minute ago.

She secretly praised him in her heart—he's quite handsome when he's serious.

Now she just wants to take back what she said.

They will take back the principal and interest.

However, Fang Yu showed no sign of stopping.

He took out another piece of dried bean curd from the bag.

Thread the bamboo skewers.

Add to syrup.

out of the pot.

Rock sugar dried tofu.

Liu Yifei's lips twitched.

Fang Yu then took out another sausage.

The movements were exactly the same.

Rock sugar ham sausage.

Liu Yifei's eyelid twitched.

Then--

Fang Yu pulled out a peeled garlic clove from the bottom of the bag.

The plump, white garlic cloves reflected the sunlight in the winter sun.

He skewered the garlic cloves onto bamboo sticks and held them toward the pot of syrup.

The movements were so fluid it was almost despair-inducing.

Rock sugar and garlic.

On the wooden board, a row of bizarrely styled "deluxe candied hawthorns" are neatly arranged.

Rock sugar spicy strips, rock sugar dried tofu, rock sugar ham sausage, rock sugar garlic.

Each one is covered with a layer of crystal-clear amber sugar shell.

The presentation is extremely exquisite.

However, the content is extremely anti-human.

Liu Yifei finally couldn't hold back anymore.

"Fang Yu!"

"are you serious?"

Fang Yu turned and glanced at her, his expression so sincere it was almost unbelievable.

"You've eaten proper candied hawthorn berries for half your life, aren't you tired of it?"

"To live, one must have a spirit of exploration."

Liu Yifei stared at the garlic clove coated in sugar on the wooden board and took three deep breaths.

"Fang Yu, I have a question for you."

"you say."

"Who are you making all this for?"

Fang Yu's smile became extremely bright at this moment.

He did not answer directly.

Instead, he picked up the spicy candy strip and waved it in front of Liu Yifei.

"you guess?"

Liu Yifei took a step back.

"I won't eat it."

"You didn't even try it—"

"I don't even need to taste it; I can tell what will happen if I eat this stuff just by looking at it."

"You've eaten spicy strips before, haven't you?"

"I've eaten spicy strips! But spicy strips coated in sugar aren't spicy strips, that's a culinary abomination!"

Fang Yu shook his head and sighed.

"Fairy Sister, what you're doing is wrong."

You can't reject something just because it looks strange.

"That's called judging a book by its cover."

"It's discrimination in the food industry."

Liu Yifei: "..."

Judging by appearance?

Discrimination in the food industry?

She felt that her literacy skills had been insulted.

The chat in the live stream was filled with laughter.

[Judging by appearance, hahaha, Fang Yu, what kind of cultural genius are you!]

[Fairy Sister, run! His words are more dangerous than his swordsmanship! Don't be fooled by him!]

I bet ten packs of spicy strips that the "Fairy Sister" will definitely eat them in the end! She always says no, but she always ends up liking them!

[Hua Yu eats scones with black tea in Wuhan, while Fang Yu eats spicy candied strips with garlic in Kaoshantun. This is the stark contrast in the Chinese entertainment industry!]

[It is suggested that Fang Yu put up a sign next to the stove: Fang's Dark Afternoon Tea, average cost per person: 2.5 yuan.]

Fang Yu, holding the spicy candy strip, took half a step closer to Liu Yifei.

"Here, have a taste!"

The smile on that handsome face was gentle, sincere, and considerate.

But what Liu Yifei saw was...

A smiling witch is tempting Snow White to bite into the poisoned apple.

She was so frightened that she backed away repeatedly, shaking her head like a rattle-drum.

"No, no, no, I won't eat it!"

Are you kidding me!

Spicy strips are spicy, but candy is sweet.

How could these two things possibly be eaten together?

This is even more outrageous than making her eat raw scallions!

Fang Yu raised an eyebrow at her resistant expression.

"Really not going to try it?"

"Let me tell you, this is my own unique taste miracle, the ultimate collision of sweet and spicy, the perfect fusion of ice and fire."

"Take a bite, and it will open the door to a new world for you."

Liu Yifei didn't believe it at all and shook her head even more vigorously.

"I don't want it! It doesn't look appetizing!"

"I want to eat candied hawthorn berries too!"

Seeing that she was unyielding, Fang Yu's eyes lit up and a plan came to mind.
