Amidst everyone’s curiosity, Xia Chuyi lifted the lid, revealing the dish inside. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

"Oh my gosh, what is this?" Everyone shrieked in surprise when they saw the mysterious snowy-white ingredient in the pot.

The reason for their scream was because the pot seemed to contain... a portion of an animal’s brain?

The entire dish was snowy white and crystalline, with distinct textures visible on its surface.

It indeed looked like an animal’s brain.

This...

At this moment, Yamamoto Koichiro, after a moment of stunned silence, suddenly exclaimed, "Monkey brain?"

"Huh? Monkey brain?" The assistant was startled upon hearing this answer.

Yamamoto Koichiro, after being shocked, pointed to Xia Chuyi’s pot and couldn’t help but loudly ask Xia Chuyi in English, "Is this the monkey brain from the Manchu Han Imperial Feast of Z Country?"

It’s undeniable that this answer exceeded everyone’s acceptance range.

"Oh, you’re going too far!" The few hecklers immediately spoke up, attacking Xia Chuyi, "Using a monkey’s brain for cooking, you people from Z Country are too cruel!"

And the Korea delegation followed suit, loudly criticizing, "You people from Z Country, using such ingredients, it’s simply disgusting!"

"Yeah, using monkey’s brains, that’s too much!" Someone immediately chimed in.

Then, the scene was filled with waves of accusations.

Seeing this situation, Xia Chuyi smiled slightly, spread his hands, and said, "Who said this is a monkey’s brain?"

Upon hearing Xia Chuyi’s words, the accusing voices suddenly paused, and everyone looked at Yamamoto Koichiro.

Yamamoto Koichiro, upon hearing this, was a bit surprised, and asked, "Isn’t this monkey brain?"

Xia Chuyi smiled faintly and said, "It is indeed called monkey brain, but who stipulated that it must be made from a monkey’s brain?"

"In our country, there is a dish called ’Braised Lion’s Head’. As you all see, is that dish a braised lion’s head?"

"And there’s another dish called ’Ants Climbing a Tree’. Do we actually use ants to make it?" Xia Chuyi calmly said, "No, our Z Country’s language is vast and profound."

"Many times, when we name dishes, it’s like our oracle bone script; we choose the likeness."

"So this dish, just because of its textures, got this name."

"In reality, it’s just an ordinary piece of tofu."

At this point, Xia Chuyi stepped forward, sprinkled the prepared Xiao Cong, and poured hot oil over it.

Instantly, a fresh fragrance wafted through the air.

This dish, Xia Chuyi had indeed given it a little twist, using tofu simmered in Space Medicinal Food, so when the oil was added, the medicinal aroma emitted, instantly refreshing and mouth-watering.

"Let me try!" A bold food enthusiast came up first, gently scooping a bite with a spoon and putting it in his mouth.

The tofu was tender and fragrant, fully absorbing the flavor of the Medicinal Food, melting in the mouth with a rich taste.

Just that tiny bite left a lingering fragrance in the mouth, with an endless aftertaste.

"It’s indeed tofu... but it’s the best tofu I’ve ever tasted!" That food enthusiast praised.

After that, others also came up to taste.

There’s no denying, the power of Space Medicinal Food was quite potent.

Almost everyone who tasted the "monkey brain" was enchanted and filled with admiration.

The expressions on their faces left those who couldn’t taste it in utter fascination.

Not to mention the taste, just the humorous little episode of the "monkey brain" causing giggles was enough to make everyone laugh and talk about it as a fun story.
