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

Amidst the intense curiosity of tens of millions of viewers across the internet and Liu Yifei herself.

Fang Yu's old, dilapidated bicycle finally bumped its way home.

"Sizzle—"

Fang Yu executed a flashy drift and slammed on the brakes.

The tires slid in an arc on the snow and came to a steady stop in the yard.

Just as he braced his feet, Liu Yifei jumped down from the back seat in a hurry, went around to the front of him, and grabbed his sleeve.

"Tell me quickly, what song is it?"

"You're driving me crazy! Why are you so secretive?!"

On the way back from Tiezhu's house, Liu Yifei pleaded and begged, using every kind and harsh word imaginable; she was practically rolling around on the back of the bicycle.

But Fang Yu's mouth was as if it were welded shut; no matter how much she threatened or coaxed him, he wouldn't utter a single word.

Looking at the face in front of him, flushed with curiosity and impatience, Fang Yu grinned, his smile utterly irritating.

"You really want to know?"

Liu Yifei nodded frantically, her beautiful eyes sparkling.

Fang Yu stroked his chin, deliberately drawing out the tone:

"Oh, I'm not telling you!"

"You!" Liu Yifei was so angry that she raised her fist to punch him.

Seeing that this national goddess was about to turn into a grumpy kitten, Fang Yu quickly used the "distraction" technique.

"Alright, alright, stop thinking about that song."

Fang Yu blocked her fist while raising an eyebrow.

"That job still needs a few more days of preparation."

"Now, I'll get you something delicious to shut you up!"

Upon hearing the words "delicious," Liu Yifei immediately stopped moving.

She looked Fang Yu up and down suspiciously:

"What's delicious?"

"You're not going to try to fool me with some weird stuff again, are you?"

Fang Yu was amused.

"It really is a rare treat that most people have never tasted before!"

After saying that, he strode towards the corner of the yard, where there was a large water vat covered with a tattered quilt.

This is a natural outdoor freezer in the rural areas of Northeast China during winter.

Fang Yu lifted the quilt and pulled out several stainless steel water pipes of the same length.

Then he turned around and swaggered into the kitchen.

Liu Yifei, unable to contain her curiosity any longer, followed them inside like a little tail.

"Fairy Sister, watch closely!"

Fang Yu took out a clean iron plate, scooped up a ladle of warm water, and poured it lightly on the outer wall of one of the stainless steel water pipes.

Next, he aligned the tube opening with the iron plate and gently nudged the other end of the tube with his finger.

"Slurp—smack!"

A long, cylindrical ice block of uniform thickness slid out of the tube and landed on the bottom of the plate.

Repeat the process several times.

Several perfectly crafted "industrial style" icicles lay neatly arranged on the plate.

"What...what is this?" Liu Yifei was completely dumbfounded.

Fang Yu raised an eyebrow, brandished the stainless steel pipe gleaming in his hand, and snapped his fingers:

"This is our afternoon tea for today."

"Clean, hygienic, and exclusively customized – Pure Water Ice Drops!"

Liu Yifei's brain went blank for two seconds.

Icicles?

She instantly remembered the second day of the Lunar New Year, at her grandfather's house in the forest farm.

Fang Yu pointed to the row of icicles dripping dirty water on the eaves and insisted on making "deep-fried icicles" for her, resulting in a merciless scolding from her grandfather.

"You...you haven't been idle these past few days?" Liu Yifei exclaimed in surprise.

Fang Yu looked completely matter-of-fact:

"Absolutely! There's nothing I, Fang, can't get if I want to eat it!"

"Didn't Grandpa say that the icicles on the eaves were unsanitary because they had bird droppings and dust on them, and that's why he wouldn't let me blast them?"

"Then I'll make my own molds and freeze them!"

"The night I got back, I went to the warehouse and found a few sections of unused stainless steel water pipes."

"It was filled with purified water and then directly placed in a large vat to freeze."

"After being tempered by the extreme cold these past few days, these icicles are now as hard as bricks and so clean they reflect light!"

"Today, I must make up for the regret of that day in the second year of junior high!"

"Taking on the ultimate, long-lost skill of Northeast China—deep-fried icicles!"

After hearing these words, Liu Yifei was completely speechless.

The millions of viewers in the live stream also collectively worshipped it.

[Holy crap! He really did it, I'm so upset! He actually memorized it for so many days just to get this one bite!]

Is this the ultimate obsession of a foodie from Northeast China? Grandpa refused, so I'll make it myself!

[Freezing icicles using molds and purified water! That's incredibly hardcore!]

Seeing Fang Yu's eager posture, Liu Yifei's eyes lit up as well.

To be honest, she was also very curious about this mysterious dish that was rumored to be a "double experience of ice and fire".

"Can it really explode?" She leaned closer to the iron plate and poked at the few incredibly hard ice crystals made of pure water.

"Of course!"

Fang Yu casually tied on an apron and set up a large iron pot on the stove.

"Splash—"

Most of the pot of oil was poured in directly.

While waiting for the oil temperature to rise, Fang Yu took out a large bowl and began to quickly mix the batter.

"The batter is key to making this dish."

Fang Yu added flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and a little water to the bowl while starting his teaching session in front of the camera.

"You can't use regular batter; it has to be a crispy batter."

"Add some egg white and some cooking oil."

"Frying it this way will make the outer shell fluffy and crispy, locking in the coldness inside."

Liu Yifei watched in stunned silence. Although she still thought the idea of ​​"frying ice cubes" was utterly absurd, her mouth was already watering uncontrollably.

As the oil in the pan began to smoke, the pan was filled with blue smoke.

Fang Yu suddenly stopped what he was doing, turned around, abandoned his usual carefree demeanor, and looked at Liu Yifei with an extremely serious expression, while also glancing at the camera.

"Next, I want to emphasize something extremely important, something that concerns life and safety!"

His serious tone startled Liu Yifei, who quickly stood up straight.

My steps faltered as I tried to get a closer look.

"Brothers and sisters watching on screen, and even the naive and inexperienced fairy sister, you all need to remember this!"

Fang Yu pointed to the icicles on the plate and said, word by word.

"Never! Absolutely never! Out of curiosity, throw unprotected blocks of ice directly into a pot of boiling oil!"

Liu Yifei paused for a moment, then asked timidly, "Why?"

"Because water and oil are immiscible! Water is heavier than oil, so the ice will sink to the bottom."

"Water boils at 100 degrees Celsius, while the oil in the pan is currently over 200 degrees Celsius!"

Fang Yu used gestures and words together.

"If you throw ice directly in, the moisture on the surface of the ice will melt and boil violently in an instant, turning into steam!"

"When water turns into water vapor, its volume expands more than 1,700 times instantly!"

At this point, Fang Yu suddenly leaned forward and stretched out his hands, making an explosion gesture in the air.

"At this point, the steam at the bottom will act like a bomb, blasting up the entire layer of boiling oil on top! It will splatter everywhere!"

"That kind of power is equivalent to detonating a hand grenade in the kitchen!"

"A loud bang! The whole kitchen will have to be renovated!"

"Your face was completely disfigured too!"

"The fairy-like beauty has turned into a mad scientist!"

"..."

After hearing terrifying words like "C4 bomb" and "disfigurement".

Liu Yifei instinctively took three or four large steps back, directly stepping out of the kitchen threshold.

Then, clinging to the kitchen door frame with both hands, she only dared to peek out half her head and a pair of terrified eyes, warily staring at the oil pan.

"You...you still did it! Are you out of your mind?!"

Liu Yifei called out from outside the door.

The viewers in the live stream were completely charmed and burst into laughter when they saw the fairy sister looking like this.

[Hahahaha! The fairy sister was so scared by Fang Da's swindling that she showed her pain mask!]

Although Fang Yu deliberately described it in such a terrifying way, this basic physics is true. Kitchen disaster sufferers, please don't try this at home!

Good heavens, other people spend money cooking, but Fang Yu's cooking is a matter of life and death!

[The fairy hiding behind the door frame is so cute! I want to take her home! She looks just like the old man in my village setting off firecrackers during Chinese New Year!]
