How much cow's milk was this, really? To Ye Xinyan, it naturally didn't seem like much, nor was she concerned about running out of cow's milk. In her memory, as far back as the Tang Dynasty during the period of great ethnic integration, dairy products had begun to prevail in the Central Plains region. However, in the era that Ye Xinyan had traveled to, milk fermentation appeared to be an unacceptable practice.
Qi Younian had once been stationed at the Northern border, and he knew that nomadic tribes such as the Northern Barbarians considered dairy an important part of their diet. But as for the Great Xia Dynasty, which primarily focused on agriculture, they looked down upon the Barbarians' dietary habits and couldn't stand the pungent smell of the dairy products made by the nomadic tribes.
In this respect, the old Mr. Qi Younian maintained a stance that was highly consistent with the court's attitude toward the Barbarian regions.
