Yu Li has been called "the fish seller's daughter" since she was a child. One afternoon, she helped her father deliver fish to a teahouse on the street.
The teahouse owner wore gold-rimmed glasses and a navy blue silk dress. He casually asked her name, and she said her name was Yu Li.
Through the scent of tea, he looked at her with interest.
Finally, the man handed her a jade pendant half the size of a palm and said to her: "This jade is destined to you, so I gave it to you."
Yu Li stared blankly at the cool white jade in his hand. In the middle was a lifelike red carp leaping out of the water.
It was five years before we met again. At that time, Yu Li was already a successful private chef owner and had established a firm foothold in the industry with his signature dish "Yijiang Red Carp".
The young man who used to look gloomy in the teahouse all day long has become a famous jade carver in China.
At a banquet held by a magazine, Yu Li stood in the corner with no interest, but saw the host on the screen introducing that the work of a well-known domestic jade carver, "Double Carp", would be exhibited in City C.
She had no intention of watching anymore and hurriedly left the venue, but was stopped by the man.
He put a jade pendant into Yu Li's palm very gently and irresistibly.
"I didn't break my promise to you five years ago."
The jade pendant in his hand was surrounded by two carps. Yu Li threw the jade pendant back into the man's arms, but when he turned his back, his eyes turned red quietly.
Purpose: cherish the present moment
