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

In Kaoshantun, at the Fang family's courtyard.

"You silly child, you're just fooling around!"

Zhao Guifang finally snapped out of her shock and patted Fang Yu on the back, both amused and annoyed.

"Can these things be mixed together and drunk? Won't it cause an upset stomach?"

Fang Yu chuckled and pushed the pitcher into the middle of the table.

"Mom, you don't understand."

He started spouting nonsense again with a straight face:

"This is called the harmony of Yin and Yang."

"Coca-Cola is strong in nature and belongs to the Yang category."

Pepsi is mild in nature and belongs to the Yin category.

"Only by combining the two can we achieve the highest level of harmony between strength and gentleness, and the unity of bubbles!"

Zhao Guifang rolled her eyes at him, not believing a single word.

"Give me a break, you can keep it for yourself."

Fang Yu didn't mind. He turned to look at Liu Yifei and raised an eyebrow.

"How about it, fairy sister? Would you dare to try a bite of this crystallization of centuries of wisdom?"

Liu Yifei stared at the pot of dark, bubbling, unidentified liquid, swallowed hard, and shook her head repeatedly.

Seeing this, Fang Yu didn't press the matter, but instead revealed an even more unfathomable smile.

"Fine, since you can't appreciate this kind of postmodern deconstructionist drink."

"Then I'll show you my unique winter hot drink recipe."

Fang Yu picked up the pitcher, turned around, and walked into the kitchen, leaving the bewildered crowd in the courtyard.

"A unique...hot drink?"

Liu Yifei muttered something under her breath, and all sorts of strange images began to uncontrollably surface in her mind.

Is he going to throw the sauerkraut into the cola and cook it together?

Or perhaps... cilantro? Green onions? Garlic cloves?

With Fang Yu's unpredictable way of thinking, nothing is impossible.

Just thinking about that smell made Liu Yifei shudder.

This is so dark!

Zhao Guifang frowned and nudged Fang Daqiang beside her.

"What mischief is that kid up to now?"

Fang Daqiang's tone was extremely calm.

"Who cares? Our kitchen is sturdy enough not to explode."

No sooner had the words left his mouth than the sound of chopping vegetables came from the kitchen.

Liu Yifei's curiosity was piqued, and she couldn't resist going to the kitchen doorway and peeking inside.

Fang Yu was holding a clean piece of ginger and chopping it on the cutting board.

His knife skills are still as pleasing to the eye as ever.

Before long, a small pile of shredded ginger had formed on the cutting board.

After chopping the ginger, Fang Yu took out a small pot.

Add shredded ginger and Nazakau mixed with cola.

Finally, fire.

Hearing the noise, Zhao Guifang also came over. When she saw the contents of the pot, her eyebrows immediately furrowed.

"Hey, you spendthrift kid! You're using perfectly good Coke to boil things?"

"Is this something a human being could do?"

As the temperature rose, the cola in the pot began to boil vigorously, and the ginger shreds that had been at the bottom of the pot started to tumble in the dark brown liquid.

As white steam rose, a strange fragrance also spread out.

The originally domineering and overbearing caramel sweetness is forcibly cut in by a spicy and warm ginger aroma.

Two completely unrelated flavors are forced to blend under high temperatures, creating an indescribable, warm and unique aroma.

Liu Yifei stood at the door, smelling the aroma, her expression complex.

The smell... it's not exactly unpleasant, but it's definitely not pleasant either.

It's just really weird.

The viewers in the live stream were stunned.

[Holy crap? What kind of sorcery is this? You can boil cola?!]

[I hereby declare that Fang Yu has once again redefined my understanding of carbonated drinks, following his "two-in-one cola" concoction!]

[Is this stuff even drinkable? Wouldn't you instantly ascend to heaven if you drank it? I'd call it "Northeast China's version of Meng Po's Soup"!]

[Don't talk nonsense, this stuff is really strong! It seems to be a folk remedy for colds from the south!]

Flat hot cola...with ginger...ugh, I'll vomit on behalf of the fairy sister!

In the pot, the cola with ginger slices was boiled for another two minutes.

Fang Yu turned off the heat and poured the dark brown, steaming liquid from the pot back into the pitcher.

He walked out of the kitchen carrying a pitcher, a confident smile on his face.

"Come on, everyone, try my secret recipe for ginger-infused cola."

Zhao Guifang backed away with a look of disgust.

"Stay away from me, what is that dark thing? It smells weird."

Fang Daqiang also frowned, looking at Fang Yu with great distrust.

"Son, where did you learn these crooked ways? You've ruined something perfectly good."

The parents' reaction made Liu Yifei, who was already uneasy, even more uncertain.

Even the local people of Northeast China don't recognize this stuff. Is it some kind of new poison?

"Come here, fairy sister."

Fang Yu completely ignored his parents' disapproval, took a clean glass, poured a cup from the pot, and handed it to Liu Yifei.

"Would you do me the honor of trying some?"

Liu Yifei stared at the steaming "dark cuisine" in front of her, her delicate features almost scrunching together.

"I...I'm not that thirsty."

As she spoke, she shrank back a little.

Fang Yu wasn't angry; he just smiled and handed the cup forward again.

"Don't be afraid, it's not poisonous."

He patiently guided him:

"Just think about it, it's over twenty degrees below zero outside, freezing cold."

"If you drink a cup of this, it will warm you from your throat all the way down to your stomach, making your whole body feel warm and comfortable. Isn't that wonderful?"

"Moreover, this thing can also prevent colds."

"Look at this, it's the Lunar New Year! What if you catch a cold? That would be awful!"

What he said makes a lot of sense.

Liu Yifei did feel a bit cold; her hands and feet were icy.

She looked at the steaming cup of cola in Fang Yu's hand, and then at the sincere look in his eyes, and a struggle began to rage within her.

Reason told her that this stuff definitely didn't taste good.

But curiosity, like a kitten's claw, kept scratching at her heart.

What if... what if it tastes actually pretty good?

The viewers in the live stream held their breath, all eyes focused on Liu Yifei's face.

[Drink it! Drink it now! Let me see if this is a delicious delicacy or a deadly poison!]

[Fairy Sister, for the sake of science and the pursuit of knowledge, bravely drink this divine water! We will all remember you!]

I bet five cents that Liu Yifei's expression will completely crack after taking her first sip.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Liu Yifei finally made up her mind.

It's just a glass of cola with ginger boiled in it, isn't it?

They've even licked iron bars, what's there to be afraid of?

"Okay, I'll try it."

She took a deep breath, reached out her hands, and accepted the glass of hybrid cola.

The cup was still warm, and the warmth traveled down my fingertips, which felt quite comfortable.

Liu Yifei brought the cup to her lips, closed her eyes, and with a look of resignation, carefully took a small sip.

The instant the liquid enters the mouth.

Her body froze, and her eyes snapped open!
