"What else?" Xia Yi continued to ask.

Xia Changsheng said with difficulty: "I can't really get used to it."

Seeing Xia Changsheng's somewhat awkward and apologetic expression, Xia Yi said: "It's alright, not everyone likes to eat meat."

Xia Yi picked up one of the smaller jugs and said, "I'll go back and make some toasted milk and braised pork first, then I'll send it over for you to taste later."

"..." "Alright." Although Xia Changsheng was not that willing, he still agreed to it.

Boss Hee, who had not been to the store for a few days, appeared in the store today as well. It was because Xia Yi had told him a few days ahead of time that he was going to try out a new dish today.

Seeing Xia Yi return with a red jar, the Boss Hee quickly went up to him, "This is today's new dish?"

After experiencing Xia Changsheng's disgust, Xia Yi covered the jar tightly, and said to the Boss Hee: "Don't be anxious, I'll let you guys see after we get out of the pot."

"Yo, you're so secretive." The Boss Hee became more interested.

Xia Yi laughed and carried the jar back to the kitchen.

All of the cooks and helpers were shut by Xia Yi outside, leaving her alone to busy herself in the kitchen.

They knew very well that Xia Yi was not a person who hid things. Her actions today had really confused them, and had also made them more curious about what was in the jar.

There wasn't anything new about the method of adding rotten milk, it was just adding more.

The reason why Xia Yi did this was because he was afraid that they would be prejudiced against fermented milk like Xia Changsheng, and then affect their judgement towards the color of the dishes.

Before Xia Yi could come out from the kitchen, Xia Changsheng had already arrived.

Although he was unwilling, he still came early to help Xia Yi try the dishes.

Seeing Xia Changsheng coming over, the Boss Hee immediately went up to him: Are you here to try out the dishes too?

He naturally knew the relationship between Xia Changsheng and Xia Yi, and it was not the time for food. Furthermore, Xia Changsheng had come empty-handed, so the Boss Hee was naturally able to guess that Xia Changsheng was here to try out the dishes.

Xia Changsheng nodded in silence, looking uninterested.

"Do you know what the new dish Xia Yi prepared this time?" Ever since Xia Changsheng came in, the Boss Hee had followed closely behind without leaving a single step behind.

Xia Changsheng had only heard Xia Yi say that he would take the rotten milk to eat, but he did not know what exactly he should do.

Seeing the look of anticipation on Boss Hee's face, Xia Changsheng hesitated, but in the end, he shook his head.

Boss Hee wanted to ask more, but he only heard a "pata" sound as the kitchen door opened.

He immediately looked towards the kitchen and saw Xia Yi coming out of the kitchen with a plate in her hands.

The contents of the plate could not be seen clearly. One could only see that the color was exceptionally bright red.

Just the color alone was enough to stir up one's appetite, Boss Hee unconsciously swallowed his saliva.

Xia Yi directly walked towards Boss Hee and placed the plate on the table in front of him.

Only then did Boss Hee clearly see the food on the plate. Every piece of meat was evenly cut into small pieces, about a centimeter square, and neatly arranged on the plate.

It looked a little similar to braised pork, except it was a little more red than braised pork, and not the same black red as soy sauce.

"Why don't you come over and have a taste?" Xia Yi said.

The chefs and waiters in the restaurant immediately surrounded the table.

Boss Hee could not wait and moved his chopsticks.

After he swallowed it, the aroma was so mellow and soft that he couldn't help but nod.

With the meat still in his mouth, Boss Hee gave his evaluation. He quickly picked up another piece of meat with one hand and gave a thumbs up with the other.

"Master Hong, you try it too."

Master Hong was a big chef at Ruyi Manor, so the best dish he could cook was Red Braised Meat.

When he first saw Xia Yi bringing out the so called new dish, Master Hong was still a little disappointed.

Red Braised Meat was already on the menu, so it couldn't be considered a rare dish.

But Master Hong also knew about Xia Yi's ability. Otherwise, he wouldn't have stayed in the Ruyi Manor.

"I want to taste what's so special about this Red Braised Meat."

Master Hong picked up a piece of meat and placed it in his mouth, chewing on it carefully.

The taste of this meat was very different from the Red Braised Meat he normally ate. It had a type of mellow taste that he had never tasted before, but it did not have the flavor of a spice.

"Boss Xia, what did he add to the meat?" The Master Hong asked Xia Yi.

Seeing Master Hong's reaction, Xia Yi knew that she had already accepted the taste of the decayed milk meat.

She only smiled mysteriously and said, "When everyone has tasted it, I'll tell you what's in it."

Very quickly, everyone had tasted it once, and everyone gave a favorable comment on this piece of meat.

Seeing everyone's reaction, Xia Changsheng also wavered a little. He silently picked up a pair of chopsticks.

It was different from the taste he had before. The salty taste had become lighter, leaving only a mouthful of mellow fragrance.

"Delicious!" Xia Changsheng nodded heavily, and picked up another piece of Red Braised Meat, putting it into his mouth, as if he had already forgotten how he had disliked decaying milk as hairy tofu.

There were a total of 10 people in Ruyi Manor, including the chef and the waiter. Xia Yi specially made a little more when making the meat, but it was still gone very quickly, there was only an empty plate left, even the minced meat that had fallen from the meat was all eaten clean.

"Boss Xia, you should tell us now, right?"

Master Hong's eyes flashed. He had searched his mind for a long time, but he couldn't find a taste that matched the taste of the meat.

Xia Yi then took out the jar that she carried into the kitchen with him.

"The secret is in this jar."

Opening the jar, Master Hong realized that he had never seen anything inside before. That red coloured small piece was like tofu, and it didn't seem like it at all.

"Is this tofu? Why is it red? " Master Hong asked.

Xia Yi explained: "This thing is called putrefied milk, and it is made from fermented tofu. Other than being able to enter the dishes, eating it directly with a steamed bun is also fine, or it can also be used as a hot pot dipping ingredient …"

"Fermented milk? "It's a rare item." Master Hong moved closer to smell it and indeed smelled a smell similar to the one on the meat.

The people of Boss Hee also felt that it was strange, and after hearing from Xia Yi that there were a lot of ways to eat tofu milk, she said to Xia Yi, "Can I take some of your tofu milk with me?"

Xia Yi said: "Of course you can, you can take this jar with you, but I also want to ask Boss Hee for a favor."

"Go ahead." When the Boss Xia heard that Xia Yi was so generous that he wanted to give him the entire stall full of rotten milk, he agreed without even asking him.

Xia Yi said: "It's actually very simple, I just hope that Boss Hee can recommend the decaying milk to someone you know."

Xia Yi was clear that the Boss Hee had a wide network of people and knew a lot of owners in restaurants.

"Naturally, you have to share good stuff with others." Boss Hee laughed.
