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

Meanwhile, the internet has completely exploded.

Fang Yu and Liu Yifei's live stream saw its popularity break historical records due to this sudden and assertive invitation.

The news spread like wildfire across various platforms.

#Fang Yu and Liu Yifei treat the entire internet to a lavish feast#

#Mohe Lantern Festival Banquet for Ten Thousand People#

#TheMostHardcoreOfficialAnnouncementInHistory#

Related terms are skyrocketing to the top of the trending search list!

All the media outlets and entertainment marketing accounts were also incredibly excited.

There wasn't even time to write a press release; we just had to frantically send out clips of the live stream recordings by typing.

In the video footage, Fang Yu waved his hand and said—

"To celebrate the official announcement, I'll treat netizens across the country to a big feast!"

Coupled with Liu Yifei's gentle yet exceptionally firm words—

"Count me in."

These two paragraphs, when put together, became the ultimate dose of "dog food" (a Chinese slang term for public displays of affection) of the year, overwhelming netizens across the country.

In an instant, the comments sections went completely wild, and the entire internet descended into a state of chaotic revelry.

Hey guys, stop standing around! Grab tickets now!

[I just checked, and there aren't even any standing tickets left on the train to Mohe! Have you guys been single for eighty years with your fingers so slow?!]

【I don't care! I've already fired my boss! Even if I have to ride a shared bike, I'm going to Mohe! I'm going to eat at this feast! Not even Jesus can stop me, I said it!】

[Sobbing, this is so touching! They could have just posted a simple Weibo post to get by, but they chose this most honest, simple, and grand way to give back to everyone!]

[The previous comment was too narrow-minded! Is this supposed to be a way of giving back to fans? This is clearly a wedding rehearsal!]

The phrase "wedding rehearsal" has been around for a while now.

It instantly hit the sweet spot for all CP fans, attracting countless likes!

No problem!

This scale, this momentum!

Isn't this just a preview of an unprecedented wedding banquet?!

Suddenly, the entire internet's tone shifted dramatically.

The focus of everyone's discussion was "going to Mohe for a grand feast".

It was directly elevated to "going to Mohe to attend the rehearsal of the wedding banquet of the Feather God and the Fairy Sister"!

On major travel apps, searches for "Mohe" surged instantly.

Airline tickets, train tickets, budget hotels, hostels, and even tickets to stay overnight at local bathhouses were all snapped up by crazy netizens.

Mohe is a border town that is extremely cold all year round and usually quiet.

By sheer willpower and a "feast" that hadn't even been started yet, he managed to turn himself into the "Jerusalem" in the eyes of netizens across the country.

Everyone wanted to join in the fun, and everyone was afraid that if they arrived late, they wouldn't even be able to grab a stool.

……

At this moment, at the Fang family's dinner table.

Zhao Guifang was still basking in the immense pride of "my son treating netizens from all over the country to a feast," her face beaming with joy.

She had even started thinking about how to casually mention it to her group of older women at the village entrance later.

Then I'll just casually say something like:

"Oh, it's nothing, it's just that my son insists on inviting everyone in the country to have a meal in Mohe."

Just thinking about that scene is so comforting.

But Fang Daqiang, who was sitting to the side, did not follow suit.

His brows were furrowed deeply, and he suddenly spoke.

"Xiaoyu..."

"With so many people eating, do you have enough staff?"

Fang Yu waved his hand dismissively, not taking it seriously at all.

"Dad, what's the matter?"

"Didn't Director Wang just say that if we need people, we'll give them to people?"

"At worst, I'll spend some money to hire all the chefs from the major restaurants and star-rated hotels in the city."

"With a hundred chefs working on an assembly line, how could we possibly run out of food?"

Fang Yu spoke with great confidence.

After all, his top-notch culinary skills were directly crammed into his brain by the system.

This creates a blind spot.

His cooking skills are truly amazing; even foreigners find his food incredibly delicious.

However, they lack real experience from years of hard work in traditional kitchens.

Fang Yu had absolutely no concept of the actual workload involved in organizing a "banquet for ten thousand people".

In his understanding:

The money is there, the people have arrived, and the pot is set up.

Then let's get started!

It's no big deal.

To everyone's surprise, Fang Daqiang frowned even more deeply upon hearing this.

"You little brat, do you really think that preparing a banquet for ten thousand people is the same as cooking a couple of dishes in a restaurant kitchen?"

Fang Yu was taken aback.

"Isn't it all just flipping the wok to cook?"

Fang Daqiang almost laughed out of anger at his silly son, and slammed his fist on the table in annoyance.

"How can that be the same?"

"The chefs in those restaurants are used to cooking in small batches, and they calculate the heat and seasonings by the plate."

"But our Northeastern banquet uses a huge iron pot! One pot serves enough for dozens of people!"

Fang Daqiang's tone became more and more serious as he spoke.

"The amount of water used in a large pot, the force required to toss the food, are completely different from stir-frying in a small pot!"

"Even if you hire chefs from those five-star hotels, they still won't be able to wield those huge spatulas properly. They might end up stewing the whole pot of meat into mush!"

"What if tourists take a bite and say, 'This is what a Mohe feast tastes like?'"

"You're not treating people to a meal, you're ruining your own reputation."

These words are all heartbreaking.

Fang Yu opened his mouth, but couldn't reply.

Don't say it bluntly, but the principle is sound.

The restaurant chef is as skilled as he is.

But Master Xi is truly someone that no one can replace.

One is like embroidering in a small pot.

One is fighting a war in a big pot.

Seeing his silence, Fang Daqiang added insult to injury.

"If you want to guarantee the authentic taste of a traditional Northeastern Chinese banquet, you must find a master chef who has actually prepared banquets for weddings and funerals."

"Even if you hire a hundred ordinary cooks, it won't be enough."

"A large number of people does not necessarily mean they can do the work."

Fang Yu finally realized what was going on.

One second they were making grand pronouncements in front of the entire internet, the next second they discovered—

That's an overstatement.

This is really over-the-top hype.

Where can he find so many chefs who are truly skilled at preparing grand banquets?

The viewers in the live stream, having recovered from their earlier frenzy over buying tickets, began to worry for him.

[Holy crap! The old man's words were a wake-up call! Mass-produced food and individual cooking are completely different things!]

Hey guys, I just snagged a plane ticket to Mohe. Is it too late to get a refund?

[Oh no, I think Yu Shen has really messed up this time. A banquet for ten thousand people—even if he had eight hands, he couldn't possibly cook all that food! This is no joke!]

Don't panic! If all else fails, I'll bring my own steamed buns and Lao Gan Ma chili sauce to show my support. As long as I can see a fairy, that's all that matters!

Sitting next to Fang Yu, Liu Yifei felt a pang of unease as she watched the rare look of embarrassment appear on his face.

She quietly moved closer to Fang Yu, lowered her voice, and tentatively offered a way out:

"How about... we call Director Wang again and implement a reservation system to limit the number of people?"

She was genuinely afraid that Fang Yu would put her in a very difficult position.

Tens of millions of people online are watching. If this is messed up, the backlash from public opinion could be devastating.

Feeling the care from the fairy sister, Fang Yu's competitive spirit was actually aroused.

He shook his head like a rattle.

"That's impossible."

"Once you've already made that boast, there's no reason to take it back."

He paused, then forced himself to save face.

"It's just a few dozen chefs, no big deal, I can handle it."

That's what they say.

But Liu Yifei could tell from his expression.

This person is being stubborn again.

Just as the atmosphere in the room was becoming increasingly awkward.

Fang Daqiang suddenly stood up, pressing his hands on the edge of the table.

The chair leg scraped across the ground with a short, soft sound.

The eyes of everyone in the room instinctively turned to him.

Fang Daqiang put his chopsticks on the table and turned to walk into the inner room.

Fang Yu was stunned:

"Dad, we haven't finished eating yet, where are you going?"

Fang Daqiang paused for a moment, without turning his head, leaving everyone with only an extremely domineering wave.

"I'll get you some people."
