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

Live footage from Sanya.

Hua Yu was sitting in a luxuriously decorated five-star hotel restaurant with a sea view.

In front of him was a refined brunch.

A few slices of black truffle, as thin as cicada wings, are sprinkled on top of golden scrambled eggs.

A small spoonful of glistening caviar, accompanied by several perfectly toasted baguettes.

Hua Yu, holding a glass of orange juice, faced the camera and spoke eloquently in his elegant voice.

Good morning, everyone.

"Today's breakfast is rather simple."

"This is an Alba white truffle from Italy, known as the 'white diamond on the table,' and its aroma is truly unique..."

"This next to me is wild sturgeon caviar from the Caspian Sea. As you can see, the caviar grains are very plump and have a very clear color..."

He spoke very professionally, with a high level of sophistication.

In the past, the comments section would have been filled with praise like "Wow, so sophisticated!" and "Huahua really knows how to enjoy life."

But today, the style of the bullet comments seems particularly strange.

Stop talking, bro, I want to eat tofu pudding.

Does truffle have a braising sauce aroma? Can caviar be used to soak fried dough sticks?

[This meal should be enough for Fang Yu and the others to eat breakfast for a year, right?]

Suddenly, I realized that these so-called "high-end" foods are utterly worthless compared to a steaming bowl of pork and scallion buns.

I'm off to watch the fairy goddess stroll through the market; it's much more interesting than listening to your lectures.

The two live-streaming rooms, representing two completely different lifestyles, created an incredibly stark and ironic contrast.

On one side is the bustling, lively atmosphere of everyday life.

On one side is a cold, sophisticated, and alienating atmosphere built with money.

The audience voted with their feet, giving their choice.

The popularity of Hua Yu's live stream has plummeted once again.

……

At the Northeast Grand Market.

After a satisfying meal, the family began shopping at the market.

Liu Yifei followed Fang's mother like a curious child, finding everything new and exciting.

She saw someone selling huge frozen fish, which were frozen like stones and piled up on the ground.

"Auntie, is this fish... still fresh?" she asked softly.

"It's incredibly fresh! This is called 'frozen fresh'!" Mrs. Fang explained cheerfully. "Our winters in Northeast China are like a giant natural refrigerator. We catch the fish, put it on the ground, and it freezes in no time—it's even fresher than a refrigerator!"

Liu Yifei then saw another stall with basins of dark-colored things on display. They looked very similar to the frozen pears she had eaten the day before yesterday, but smaller in size.

"These are frozen persimmons!" Fang Yu explained to her from the side. "You eat them like frozen pears; you have to let them 'warm up' a bit first. The flesh inside is like shaved ice, and it's incredibly sweet!"

There were also sticky rice cakes, large pancakes, handmade vermicelli, and bundles of scallions...

The variety of Northeastern specialties, some familiar and some unfamiliar to Liu Yifei, dazzled her and broadened her horizons.

She discovered that people in Northeast China seem to particularly like to "freeze" their goods before selling them.

This is probably the wisdom unique to this black soil.

Viewers in the live stream also virtually toured the Northeast market from Liu Yifei's perspective.

[I've learned something new! I never knew fish could be sold like this! That's so hardcore!]

That sticky rice cake looks so delicious! It's yellow and chewy! I want to eat it!

As a southerner, I feel like my worldview has been shaken. I never knew winter could be experienced like this!

[Even the most beautiful girl can't take it all in! Haha, she must think Northeast China is a magical place right now.]

The family strolled around, with Fang's mother being the main force.

She spent ten minutes haggling with the owner at a dried goods stall over a pound of wood ear mushrooms.

At a stall selling Spring Festival couplets, she insisted on pulling her family away because the owner refused to give her an extra "Fu" character.

After walking about ten meters, the boss called out from behind, "Come back, come back! I'll see you off!"

She didn't buy many things, but the process of bargaining was full of fun and a sense of accomplishment.

Liu Yifei watched with great interest, finding this kind of friendly haggling much more interesting than simply swiping her card in the mall.

Just then, a pedestrian crossing passed through an unusually bustling area.

The crowd was packed three or four deep, and cheers and laughter could be heard from time to time.

"Hey, big brother/sister, please, let us have a look at the excitement too."

Fang Yu protected Liu Yifei and squeezed through the crowd.

Suddenly, everything became clear.

A typical ring toss stall at a market.

A huge red plastic sheet was laid on the ground, covered with a dense array of prizes.

The smaller items include brightly colored candies, cheap-looking spicy snacks, and keychains printed with cartoon characters.

In the middle are various plush toys and ceramic cups.

Next up are the big ones: brand-new rice cookers, hair dryers, thermos flasks, and even a robot model that's half a person's height.

All the prizes were arranged in order of value, from nearest to furthest, exuding a raw and direct allure.

Liu Yifei's gaze was immediately drawn to a large object placed at the very center and top of all the prizes.

It was an enormous pink rabbit plush toy.

The rabbit was almost as tall as Liu Yifei herself. It was a gentle cherry blossom pink, with two long ears that drooped down. Its eyes, made of black glass beads, were big and round, and seemed to sparkle with an innocent and cute light.

It sat there quietly, like a well-behaved baby waiting to be claimed by its owner.

Which girl could resist such temptation?

Liu Yifei felt as if her heart had been gently scratched by a furry paw, leaving it ticklish.

Her cool, phoenix-shaped eyes were now filled with two words: desire.

The stall owner was a man in his thirties, slightly overweight, with a small mustache.

He had noticed the family that had just squeezed in, especially Liu Yifei.

There was no way around it; among the crowd of people dressed in gray-black cotton-padded coats, their faces etched with the hardships of life, Liu Yifei's presence was simply too conspicuous.

Even though she was wearing that brightly colored floral jacket with strong local characteristics, it couldn't hide her extraordinary and refined temperament.

The chubby boss had been in business for many years and had a very sharp eye for business.

He could tell at a glance that this girl was definitely the best potential customer of the day.

He immediately greeted us with a big smile, holding a stack of colorful plastic rings in his hand.

"Hey beautiful, wanna give it a try?"

"Ten for twenty yuan, take whichever one you get!"

"I think you're destined to be with this big rabbit!"

Liu Yifei immediately took out her phone and scanned the QR code for the boss.

"I'll give it a try."

"Okay!"

Upon hearing the sound of the bill being settled, the portly boss quickly counted out ten red plastic rings and handed them to Liu Yifei.

Fang Yu watched from the side and shook his head helplessly.

He knew that Liu Yifei's twenty yuan was destined to go down the drain.

However, since she wants to play, let her play; as long as she's happy.

Consider it a contribution to the GDP of Northeast China.

Holding the ten light plastic rings, Liu Yifei took a deep breath and walked to the designated throwing line.

She weighed the ring in her hand, turned to the side, squinted one eye, and began to aim carefully.

Liu Yifei's goal was very clear from the beginning: that big pink rabbit!

She completely ignored the small prizes that were within easy reach nearby, as if those colorful spicy snacks and keychains didn't exist at all.

The hustle and bustle of the entire market seemed to fade away from her at that moment.

All she could see was the giant pink rabbit perched atop a pedestal and the ring toss game in her hand.

The viewers in the live stream all held their breath.

[The celestial beauty is about to make her move! How many do you think she'll win?]

I bet she'll win at least one prize, right? After all, she's a celestial being; her luck shouldn't be too bad.

[Hahaha, you guys are too naive. I bet a bag of spicy strips you won't win a single one!]

[It's starting! It's starting! Witness the moment of miracle!]

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Liu Yifei flicked her wrist and gracefully tossed out the first ring toss ring.
