"In fact, not every action in life requires the use of feet. Some actions can be completed with the mouth." Chen Zifang told Tong Liya

Because he was busy practicing, Chen Zifang ordered takeout for lunch that day.

"When the dishes arrived, I found that there was no soup. Because I like fishing, I made a bowl of soup using the crucian carp I caught the day before."

At noon that day, Chen Zifang demonstrated how to make a crucian carp soup with his feet. , and received high praise from Tong Liya.
