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

However, this harmony did not last long.

The atmosphere changed abruptly when a large influx of viewers entered Fang Yu's live stream next door.

"...Um, I came from next door. Are you feeding your cats here? Who's going to eat these two bites of noodles?"

[Don't talk nonsense, even a cat would find it bland.]

[Seriously, Fang Yu next door has already sliced ​​three plates of pork liver and is about to stir-fry it, and you guys are still acting out an idol drama over two noodles?]

[To be honest, Ju Jingyi's acting is amazing. Those noodles looked so hard, yet she could taste love in them? Is that love made of cement?]

[There's no harm in comparison. After seeing Fang Yu's hardcore pork stew, and then looking at this "snow-capped plain noodles," I feel like I'm just watching house.]

The scene cuts back to Kaoshantun.

Fang Yu finished slicing the pig liver and looked up.

Seeing the expressions on everyone's faces as if they'd seen a ghost, he deliberately pretended to be nonchalant.

Then he asked, "Dad, what's next?"

Fang Daqiang then seemed to wake up from his dream.

He looked at Fang Yu with a complicated expression and said, "You...you cut off that piece of heart meat too."

Heart meat, which is the diaphragm tissue around the pig's heart, has a crisp texture, but it has a lot of fascia on top, so it requires very skillful knife work.

Without saying a word, Fang Yu picked up the piece of heart-protecting meat and began to work on it with a series of rapid movements.

Soon, a plate of cleaned and evenly cut slices of pork heart appeared on the cutting board.

At this point, Fang Daqiang was completely speechless.

He looked at Fang Yu, remained silent for a long time, and finally squeezed out a sentence through gritted teeth.

"Okay, you're good, kid."

"Then you do it, you cook this."

He actually... voluntarily gave up his "head chef" position!

This is absolutely unprecedented in the world of pork stew in Kaoshantun!

The people around him were looking at Fang Yu as if he were a monster.

Fang Yu didn't stand on ceremony and took the spatula from his father's hand, standing in front of the large iron pot.

He first put the blanched pork belly into the pot and stir-fried it over high heat.

Soon, the fat in the pork belly was rendered out, and the slices of meat turned golden brown and fragrant.

Then, Fang Yu added the chopped pork liver, pork heart, and other offal to the water and stir-fried them quickly.

The heat and the force were perfectly controlled.

Finally, he grabbed the pickled cabbage that had been prepared earlier and threw it into the pot.

A "rip" sound.

When pickled cabbage meets hot oil, its unique, tangy aroma is instantly released, blending with the meaty fragrance to create an irresistible complex flavor.

Everyone in the courtyard subconsciously swallowed.

So delicious!

Just smelling this makes me feel like I could eat three bowls of rice!

Liu Yifei, standing not far away, also smelled the domineering fragrance.

She looked at Fang Yu, who was wielding a spatula in front of the stove, enveloped in the smoke and fumes, and her eyes gleamed with admiration.

How many more surprises does this man hold that she doesn't know about?

Fang Yu took over the stove, and the entire cooking rhythm instantly changed.

If Fang Daqiang's style is calm and experienced, then every move he makes is the result of accumulated experience.

Fang Yu's style is bold and unrestrained, full of imagination and creativity.

He wasn't just cooking; he was creating an art piece.

"Third Uncle, the foam in this pot needs to be skimmed off, otherwise the soup won't be clear and will affect the taste."

"Brother Dazhuang, blood sausage shouldn't be cooked for too long. When you see the casing bulge, prick it with a needle to release the air, otherwise it will easily burst."

"Auntie, you can't just use salt for this deboned meat. You need to add some peppercorn water and cooking wine to remove the fishy smell and enhance the aroma."

While cooking, Fang Yu didn't forget to give his opinions on the state of the country.

The tricks he mentioned were the secrets that only an old chef like Fang Daqiang would know.

But coming from the mouth of a young man in his early twenties, it seemed particularly unbelievable.

The elders he pointed out were not unhappy at all; on the contrary, they all nodded in agreement, thinking that what the young man said made perfect sense.

Fang Daqiang stood to the side, having been completely reduced from head chef to an assistant.

Looking at his son's composed demeanor, he felt both proud and puzzled.

This kid is becoming more and more unpredictable.

Looking at the bustling scene before her, Liu Yifei was still somewhat unaccustomed to it, but the fear in her heart had been replaced by a strong sense of curiosity.

She saw Fang's mother and several aunts processing something in a large basin.

That thing was red and sticky.

"Auntie, what are you doing?" Liu Yifei couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Making blood sausage!" Fang's mother answered without looking up. "Fresh pig's blood, plus minced lard and various seasonings, stuffed into casings, cooked, and that's the most famous blood sausage in Northeast China—it's delicious!"

Pig's blood...

Liu Yifei felt her stomach churning again.

Fang Yu noticed her expression and walked over carrying a bowl of freshly cooked, steaming hot stir-fried pork with sauerkraut.

"Here, try this."

That dish featured fatty but not greasy pork, tangy and refreshing pickled cabbage, and a layer of bright green scallions sprinkled on top. Just looking at it made one's mouth water.

Liu Yifei took the bowl, picked up a piece of white meat with her chopsticks, and carefully put it into her mouth.

The sliced ​​meat melted in her mouth, the rich aroma of meat and the refreshing taste of pickled cabbage blended perfectly, instantly conquering her taste buds.

"Delicious!" Liu Yifei's eyes lit up instantly.

"Isn't it delicious?" Fang Yu smiled smugly. "This is just an appetizer; there's something even better coming up later."

As he spoke, he pointed to the basin of blood sausage being made and began his "on-site science popularization".

"Don't let its ugly appearance fool you. Once it's cooked, sliced, and dipped in garlic sauce, it'll taste absolutely amazing."

"In Northeast China, this 'pig-killing feast' is more than just a dish; it's a culture, a ritual."

Fang Yu's voice was clearly transmitted to the live broadcast room via the drone.

"Life was tough in the past, and we could only eat meat a few times a year. So, slaughtering a pig for the New Year was the greatest reward for a year of hard work. Look, those who came to help today are all neighbors. Everyone contributed money or labor, without any distinction between us."

"When the dishes are ready, the whole village, young and old, will come over to eat. It's a lively and bustling meal, called 'eating pork soup.' The remaining meat will be distributed among relatives and neighbors, one piece to each family, which is called 'spreading blessings.'"

"So, this pork stew is not just about eating meat; it's about the warmth of human relationships, the bond between neighbors, and the good fortune that comes after a year of hard work."

Fang Yu spoke these words calmly and slowly, yet with great emotion.

He didn't use any fancy words; he spoke in the simplest, most straightforward language.

But it was precisely these simple, straightforward words that deeply moved countless viewers in the live stream.

[I never knew there were so many intricacies to "pig-killing feast"! I always thought it was just about eating meat.]

After hearing Fang Yu's explanation, the dish suddenly seemed much more sophisticated! It felt incredibly culturally rich!

[It's about the warmth of human connection, the affection between neighbors, and good fortune! This saying is so true! This is the true flavor of the Chinese New Year!]

[I cried, I missed home. My hometown used to be like this, but now everyone lives in apartment buildings. I can never find that feeling again.]

Fang Yu is so charming! He's not only good at everything, but he's also incredibly eloquent, able to make even the most mundane things sound interesting.
