WHO: Chu Wanning and you!
WHERE: The harbour
WHEN: Near the end of the month
WHAT: Chu Wanning promised to make a fish dish for Nero. This is his attempt(s).
WARNINGS: Nothing, probably.
i: This is fishing
[Here's the scene:
A man in elegant white cultivator robes is standing at the harbour. In his hand is a golden coloured willow branch whip.
Chu Wanning lets the end of the whip drape over the surface of the water. In an unemotional voice he said:]
Among you who is tired of living? Let the willing be hooked.
[And if you don't interrupt him he'll repeat that phrase a total of three times.]
ii: Which of these can be eaten?
[If you're by the harbour, Chu Wanning might end up approaching you. Hanging from the leaves of his willow branch whip are a whole bunch of mutant fish. A couple have colour, but quite a few are colourless.
He holds the string of fish up to you.]
Which of these are good for frying?
iii: Attempts at cooking
[He'd scaled and gutted the fish very precisely.
But that's when things got difficult.
How does he coat it with flour? And, actually, how much oil does he need to use? How does he know when it's hot enough?
So if you come upon this scene there are a variety of disasters you may be walking in on.
1: He didn't manage to find enough oil yet. So he's set the breaded fish on a clean rock (he'd spent a long time cleaning it). He's holding a talisman in his hand and those who recognize these things may notice it's an exploding talisman. Those of you who don't know anything about it and doesn't stop him from using it will be treated to the sight of him basically burning the fish to cinders.
2: He decides that explosions cannot be a good replacement for deep frying and manages to find enough oil to fill a pot. He holds the fish like he wants to put it in but...he doesn't. Because what if the oil isn't hot enough. Again, you have the chance to avert disaster and give him advice. But wait too long and the oil is heated too much and basically...catches fire.
In both cases, when disaster strikes, he glares at the result and clicks his tongue like this whole thing has personally offended him.

[A great skill! to have!]
Though I'm not sure how much use it would be in frying fish....we'd need some sort of bread for that, wouldn't we? And something to fry it in...
no subject
[Nit also...]
What does bread have to do with it?
no subject
[Also:]
Well...I'm not entirely sure, but most fried foods include an outer covering of some sort, don't they? Like bread, or...something.
no subject
[He's never...tried to fry anything.]
Perhaps we can find some while looking for oil.
no subject
[A mystery!]
Oil is easy enough to find, at least! There's some in my home, in fact.

[Sharing is caring, and all that! He's already started turning in the direction of his house.]
It'll be a quick check off the list, as well.
no subject
I'll give you one of the fish.
[He does have quite a few even after releasing the colourless ones!]
