The moment he finished speaking, Fang Yu's entire aura changed.

If he had just been sitting in front of the ice hole, waiting anxiously for a fish to bite, he looked like a wronged young wife.

Now, holding a fish and a knife, he exudes confidence, just like a top chef about to perform on stage.

He is no longer the "Air Force Guy" Fang Yu.

It's not "Master Chef" Fang Yu!

The viewers in the live stream also became very engaged.

[Holy crap! The style has suddenly changed! The fishing channel has instantly turned into a food channel!]

[Fang Yu: So what if I can't catch it? I'll just steal your fish and grill it! No sportsmanship here!]

Hahaha, this damn competitive spirit! I lost to you fishing, but I must win back the grilled fish!

Fang Yu didn't say anything more; his actions spoke for themselves.

He held the struggling fish down with one hand, while the dagger in his other hand flew up and down.

Scaling, gutting, removing internal organs...

The entire process was smooth and fluid, without a single unnecessary movement.

A few seconds later, a clean fish appeared in his hand.

The skillful and efficient technique left Liu Yifei and Fang Daqiang somewhat stunned.

Is this really something an idol star who never lifts a finger could do?

"Dad, we need to start a fire. Are there any dry branches nearby?"

Fang Yu looked up at Fang Daqiang.

"Yes! I've had my eye on it for a while!"

Fang Daqiang suddenly realized what was happening and quickly ran to gather firewood.

However, looking at the cleaned fish, Fang Yu was at a loss and thought to himself that it was a pity.

No matter how skilled you are at culinary arts, you can't cook without ingredients.

Without salt and spices, the fish didn't turn out quite right when grilled, and it was no match for the "shame" of not catching any fish earlier.

Just then, Fang Daqiang noticed his predicament, chuckled, and took out a small cloth bag from his canvas bag and opened it.

Inside were a bunch of pre-packaged bottles and jars containing salt, cooking wine, ginger powder, Sichuan peppercorn powder, and other condiments.

"Your mom packed it for you, saying you'd definitely have to find food to eat outside."

Fang Daqiang wore a proud expression that said, "My wife was so farsighted."

Fang Yu felt a warmth in his heart, smiled, and picked up the dagger again, making a few cuts on the fish to help it absorb the flavor.

Then, he evenly spread various seasonings inside and out of the fish, massaging it carefully to allow the flavors to fully penetrate.

Soon, Fang Daqiang had gathered enough firewood and found some stones to build a simple stove on the ice.

Fang Yu sharpened a thick tree branch with a dagger, threaded it through the fish's mouth, and strung the entire fish together.

Everything is ready.

Light the firewood.

Fang Yu placed the skewered fish on the fire and began to slowly grill them.

"Sizzle—"

The fish skin sizzled the moment it touched the flames, releasing its oils which dripped into the fire, igniting a small flame and releasing an even richer aroma.

Liu Yifei, who was initially a little uncomfortable with the scene of killing fish, was now completely attracted by the domineering aroma.

So delicious!

This is the most original and purest charcoal grilled aroma, mixed with the freshness of fish and the flavor of various spices, it's simply the ultimate bombardment of the sense of smell.

While rotating the branch to ensure the fish was heated evenly, Fang Yu took out his ultimate weapon—cumin powder and chili powder.

He grabbed a handful of cumin and sprinkled it on the golden-brown grilled fish.

"Sizzle!"

The fragrance has instantly been elevated to a whole new level!

The unique aroma and the smoky fragrance of the fish blended perfectly, making Liu Yifei and Fang Daqiang, who were standing next to them, swallow hard at the same time.

"Come on, Yifei, sprinkle some more chili powder, it'll be even more flavorful!"

Fang Yu wasn't satisfied yet, so he poured chili powder into Liu Yifei's palm, gesturing for her to sprinkle it.

Looking at the bright red chili powder, and then at the grilled fish that was already crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, glistening with oil, Liu Yifei couldn't resist any longer.

She carefully pinched up a pinch and sprinkled it evenly on the surface.

The red chili powder, sprinkled on the golden fish skin, instantly creates a strong visual impact.

"Alright! Perfect!"

Fang Yu removed the grilled fish from the fire and blew on it.

The fish skin had been roasted until it curled up slightly, giving it an enticing crispy texture.

The fish meat inside, visible through the cut, is snow-white and delicate.

Instead of using utensils, he tore off a large piece of the fattest and most succulent fish belly meat with his hands and held it to Liu Yifei's mouth.

"Try it, but be careful, it's hot."

Liu Yifei looked at the still steaming fish in front of her and hesitated for a fraction of a second.

Then, all her reserve and all her goddess-like image crumbled in the face of this exquisite fragrance.

She opened her mouth and carefully took a bite.

The next second, her eyes widened in shock!

good to eat!

too delicious!

The fish skin is crispy and fragrant, with a complex aroma of cumin and chili.

The fish meat inside is tender and juicy, melting in your mouth and perfectly preserving the natural sweetness of the fish.

A variety of flavors explode in your mouth, creating an unparalleled feast for the senses.

"How is it?"

Fang Yu watched her reaction with smug satisfaction.

Liu Yifei was speechless. She could only nod vigorously while breathing out hot air, and then eagerly took a second bite.

That blissful expression of being completely captivated by the food is more convincing than any flowery language.

At that moment, the viewers in the live stream went completely crazy.

【Aaaaaaah! Why did I even click on this live stream?! I'm so hungry!】

I can almost smell the aroma through the screen! Who could resist this?!

[Fang Yu, you're not human! You're a monster! My takeout suddenly doesn't taste good anymore!]

[Fake! Fake! Fake! It must be fake! It's all a lie! It's just for the show! It definitely doesn't taste good at all!]

[+1! Liu Yifei is definitely acting! I don't believe it tastes that good! Unless I get to try it!]

Fang Yu tore off another large piece and handed it to Fang Daqiang, who was eagerly waiting beside him.

"Dad, you should try some too."

Fang Daqiang took it, stuffed it into his mouth, and his breath came out in pain from the heat, but he just couldn't bear to spit it out.

"Mmm! Delicious! My son's cooking is amazing!"

He chewed while giving a vague thumbs-up.

Thus, an extremely harmonious yet eerie scene unfolded on the ice.

Three people sat around a campfire, sharing a grilled fish, each taking a bite.

Liu Yifei had completely let loose, her little mouth glistening with oil from eating, completely unaware that there was black charcoal ash stuck to the corners of her lips.

Fang Yu looked at her kitten-like appearance and found it both funny and... kind of cute.

Fang Yu reached out and gently wiped the charcoal ash from the corner of her mouth with his fingertips.

Liu Yifei froze, looked up, and met his smiling eyes.

The two were very close.

The atmosphere instantly became somewhat awkward.

【Aaaaaaah! Here we go again! Here we go again! Wipe your mouth! Who taught you that, Fang Yu?!】

[I'm dead! My sugar levels are way off today! Please, just get married already!]

Fang Yu: Fishing is fishing, flirting is flirting; they shouldn't be confused.

Just then, an untimely cough broke the ambiguous atmosphere.

It's Fang Daqiang.

Looking at the scene before him, he suddenly felt that he, an old man, was perhaps in the way.

"Ahem, um... I... I just remembered the gas stove is still on!"

Fang Daqiang slapped his thigh and stood up abruptly.

That reason was rather lame.

As he spoke, he quickly began to tidy up the things on the floor.

"You two have fun, I'm going home now!"

He carried the fishing rod and bucket on his shoulder, and even took Fang Yu's cumbersome erhu with him.

Before leaving, he gave Fang Yu a meaningful look, and then threw the two items onto the ice.

One was in a cloth bag, but I don't know what it was.

The other one was a black violin case.

"I'll leave this here for you!"

After saying that, Fang Daqiang mounted his old-fashioned bicycle and sped away, concealing his merit and fame.

Fang Yu watched his father's departing figure, then looked at the two things on the ground, and instantly understood.

Good heavens, it's my own father!

That assist was way too obvious!

He picked up the cloth bag, opened it, and found two wooden spinning tops and a small whip with a strip of cloth attached inside.

Ice pops, a classic winter toy for children in Northeast China.
