Chapter 270 Better to Die Than Be a Broken Jade, or a Whole Tile? "Bloodthirsty" is Actually a Tonic. (Bonus Chapter)
Simply relying on the character splitting method was naturally not enough to satisfy Sui Wubai.

When a chef names a dish, while not necessarily requiring a high level of cultural knowledge, the name should certainly be as fitting as possible.

Compared to the way Chef King pads out the word count, Xu Jumo's "Better to be a broken piece of jade than a whole piece of tile" sounds much more pleasing to the ear.

Of course, this was just a bonus question, and although Chef Wang's answer was somewhat "humorous," it didn't affect the judgment of the dish.

Afterwards, Sui Wubai continued to delve deeper, asking Chef Wang several questions.

Chef Wang answered most of the questions, and wrote down the rest in his notebook.

Sui Wubai was quite satisfied with this.
After all, no one knows everything from the start. As long as you are willing to learn, it is not a problem.

As for the most difficult mystery of the "Jade Tofu" spillage, Sui Wubai did not ask.

He himself didn't quite understand it, and asking him could only lead to a discussion.

However, he had already asked enough questions about the "Jade Tofu" dish. The "Bloodthirsty" dish had been served for a while, so he planned to try this one first and then go down to ask more questions.

Seeing that he felt like he had stepped out of the gates of hell, Chef Wang quickly took Sui Wubai's bowl.

He now only hoped that Xia Ming's "Bloodthirsty" dish would be a little easier.
He reached out and lifted the lid, and a burst of hot steam rose from the soup bowl.

He then delivered a hard blow to Chef Wang's nose.

In an instant, he smelled a familiar scent.
"?"

A question mark silently popped into Chef Wang's mind; he felt that this soup was a bit strange.

Looking down, I saw that the soup was shimmering, like amber, and had a golden luster.

Upon closer inspection, I found a turtle shell and about ten pieces of turtle meat inside.

Just when he thought it was turtle soup, Sui Wubai suddenly reached out and stopped the cook, Wang.

"Ahem, your master won't taste this. You drink it yourself, and I'll test you after you finish!"

"what?"

Chef Wang was taken aback. What did that mean?
You still have to take the exam even if you don't drink!

Just kidding, he was mainly wondering why his master wouldn't drink it, since it smelled like classic turtle soup!

But since his master had said so, he naturally did as his master instructed.

Just as Chef Wang was serving himself the "Bloodthirsty" dish, Xia Ming, who was in the kitchen, had already canceled four "Bloodthirsty" orders.

Some people looked closely at the menu and, after discovering their order had been cancelled, quickly chose other items.

Some people are wondering why their orders are being cancelled after they placed them.

Those who had carefully observed Xia Ming's menu before also provided the answer in the live stream.

[There's a small note under that "Blood-Pumping" drink: Not everyone can drink it!]

【I understand, turtle soup? You should always be careful with anything that's supposed to be nourishing!】

[If it's a highly nourishing food, a price of 1088 is understandable, hehe. I just wonder if any expert could reveal the recipe.]

You can't tell anything just by looking at the color of the soup; you mainly need to see if it contains "ephemeral goat's nest" (a type of herb).

[Wow~ Hehehe~ This is interesting! Sui Wubai can't drink, but he didn't stop Chef Wang from drinking, which means Chef Wang is very weak!]

[Only those with Yang deficiency can drink this; those with Yin deficiency probably can't.]

So, isn't it just turtle soup?

The person upstairs is clearly a young person who doesn't understand medicinal cuisine. Don't worry, you'll understand when you're in your 30s.

【Wait, doesn't anyone know that Brother Xia can cook medicinal cuisine?】 There are still many seasoned veterans among the netizens. As soon as they see the strict requirements for the drinks, they know that this stuff is only for certain people.

Of course, when it comes to medicinal cuisine, one cannot avoid mentioning Jiang Chuanhong and Hu Xing.

The latter was busy at the moment, while the former happened to have no orders. He glanced at the screen and raised his eyebrows slightly.

Having cooked many medicinal dishes, he had naturally seen quite a few of these nourishing and strengthening ones. From the color of the soup, he could tell at a glance that the main ingredient was definitely not just turtle!
"Xia Ming is quite knowledgeable about medicine?"

If Xia Ming knew what Jiang Chuanhong was thinking right now, he would definitely laugh.

Well, in the Nine Provinces continent, if you don't have a basic understanding of medicine, you basically can't stay in the kitchen.

After all, eating in the city is about filling your stomach and enjoying the taste, but in the Nine Provinces Continent, it's all about cultivation!

Of course, the names and properties of the medicinal herbs on both sides are different. This time, Xia Ming did not use the original prescription from the city, but instead created his own prescription based on the pharmacology of some of the herbs.

"It's called 'Bloodthirsty,' but this dish actually has nothing to do with pig's blood."

"This dish is essentially prepared for people who are 'extremely deficient in Yang, afraid of the cold, and without any internal heat.'"

"The name, naturally, is closely related to its function."

Xia Ming made this dish simply to deal with the remaining turtles he had.

After all, it would be too unprofitable to just use turtles to make jelly; this time, he bought only high-quality turtles!

"My bloodshot eyes can roughly determine their physical condition. Some people have a constitution of 'yin deficiency and excessive fire,' and of course I won't sell them anything that would make them feel unwell—that would ruin my reputation!"

"As for the King of Chefs... hehe~"

Just as Xia Ming was laughing, Chef Wang had already placed a bowl in front of him.

Besides his master refusing to drink, there was another thing about him that was quite puzzling.

"What's the meaning of having two bowls of iced mung bean soup next to this? Is it a buy-one-get-two-free deal?"

Seeing Chef Wang's appearance, Sui Wubai burst into laughter.

Then, he reached out and picked up one of the bowls of ice and placed it next to Chef Wang.

"Don't ask so many questions, just try it first, and you'll know once you've tasted it!"

Chef Wang had made turtle soup himself and hadn't noticed anything wrong with it, but his master's mysterious behavior at this moment was giving him the creeps!

But the soup does smell very good, with obvious eel, soft-shelled turtle, goji berries, and a hint of sea cucumber.

"If you boil these things together, it should be able to replenish qi and blood, right?"

Chef Wang licked his lips; most of the jade tofu had been eaten by Sui Wubai.

Although it is customary for an apprentice to let their master eat first, one dish was enough to whet his appetite.

I originally thought "blood-pumping" was a dish of pig's blood, and that Sui Wubai would eat most of it and he would get a little.

Unexpectedly, it was meat broth, and the chef, unusually, didn't drink it.
"Then I'll have to take a good look at it!"

With the "Jade Tofu" from earlier as a foundation, Chef Wang already understood that Xia Ming's culinary skills were likely superior to his own.

Naturally, I was full of anticipation for this dish.

At that moment, amidst Sui Wubai's smile, he picked up the bowl.

Chef Wang picked up the spoon and took a sip. He felt that the soup had a profound flavor. It looked clear, but it went down smoothly without any bitterness. It was full of the fresh aroma of meat and collagen.

"!"

Feeling perfectly at ease, Chef Wang picked up the bowl without hesitation and drank the soup in one gulp.
As a warm breath entered his lower abdomen, he felt a sudden surge of heat in his body.
Immediately afterwards, my heart pounded, and the blood in my body began to flow faster.
