Chapter 4 - Rewards
Jiu Shen cleaned Liu Xiufeng's table and seconds after, he heard the system's mechanical voice echo inside his head.
- Ding!
- Mission Completed: First Customer
- Loading Rewards!
- Received Deep Sea Spring Dew wine-making method
- Received Deep-fried Shrimp Tempura Dipped in Viper Magma Chili cooking method
Jiu Shen felt a splitting headache attacking him and when the pain subsided, he felt a stream of information on how to make the Deep Sea Spring Dew and on how to cook the Deep-fried Shrimp Tempura Dipped in Viper Magma Chili.
'How mysterious! Just what kind of Celestial Artifact is capable of doing this?' He thought deeply as he checked his memories.
'Deep-Sea Spring Dew is produced by harvesting the yeast found in a carnivorous plant called Bloody Vine Vampire which is a 5th-rank Spirit level creature.
The top quality yeast from the plant is then fermented for two whole months before it fully converts glucose into alcohol and carbon dioxide. It is then thawed at the end of the second month after it was fermented.
Twenty kilograms of said yeast, fifteen liters of Deep Sea Dew which can only be found on the deepest parts of the Heavenly Wind Sea, and one cup of a 6th-rank King level beast's blood, the Red Mantle Serpent is mixed together.
Then distilled five times a day for one whole week. After that, the wine liquid will be aged for three years. Lastly, it is then cooled in a negative 250 degree Celsius block of Frozen End Ice. The wine liquid will not freeze due to the blood of the Red Mantle Serpent.'
"What the hell is this brewing method?! System, how much is a jar of this Deep Sea Spring Dew?" Jiu Shen gasped in shock after seeing the complicated method of making the wine
- Ding!
- Calculating the price of Deep Sea Spring Dew!
- 120 True Crystals
Jiu Shen's eyes widen in surprise after the system's calculation. It means that his wine was even more expensive than the Emperor's wine! He might even receive more curses and scorns after he displays this wine in his store.
Jiu Shen sighed, but if the customers will know how the wine was made, they would surely shut up and drink it with relish.
Such a wine should be equivalent to a 5th-grade pill in terms of cultivation efficacy! So a price of 120 True Crystals was rather cheap.
He then checked the last reward. It was a dish named by the system as Deep-fried Shrimp Tempura Dipped in Viper Magma Chili. It was a really long name and he was curious how it would taste like.
He had tasted countless spicy dishes in the Primordial God Realm so it would be hard to satisfy his palate. Even the wines currently sold in the store could barely pass his assessment. But in this mortal realm, those wines could be considered as top quality wines.
"Meat chosen must be a twenty-year-old 5th-rank Spirit level beast, the Overlord Shrimp that is at least two meters in length. Overlord Shrimp is peeled and deveined before it was grounded and kneaded to form a crescent shape.
Heat Garmosa Oil in a deep-fryer to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius). Whisk top-quality flour from the Gremory Empire, imperial cornstarch, and salt made from the Heavenly Wind Sea in a large bowl.
Make a depression in the center of the flour. Stir in the purest spring water and egg yolk of a 5th-rank beast, the Light Wind Sparrow. Then mix just until moistened before stirring in the egg whites.
One at a time, dip the kneaded crescent-shaped Overlord Shrimp into the batter to coat. Carefully place a few shrimp at a time into the hot Garmosa Oil. Then fry until shrimp turns golden brown which is about one and a half minutes. And then, drain on a clean paper towel to remove the excess oil.
Lastly, dip the cooked shrimp tempura on the grounded Viper Magma Chili."
Jiu Shen was not surprised anymore about the complicated cooking process. This dish should not be cheap considering the ingredients used in cooking it.
"System, how much is one order of this dish?"
- Ding!
- Calculating price of Deep-fried Shrimp Tempura Dipped in Viper Magma Chili!
- 100 True Crystals
Jiu Shen did not know whether to laugh or to cry. He had already expected a high price after seeing the complex process of cooking it, but he was still speechless about his products' prices.
"Ay, it looks like someone from the imperial household will come into my store after hearing that someone is capable of making dishes that is even better than the capital's best restaurant. Not to mention the wines that that might be on par with the emperor's wine. I smell trouble..." Jiu Shen shook his head and practiced cultivation.
After miraculously transmigrating into this world, his cultivation dropped by multiple levels. He was now back at the 9th-rank Saint which was a pitiful level compared to his former Heavenly God strength before transmigrating in this world. Although a Saint can dominate this mortal realm, Jiu Shen had grown tired of this domination dream. It was much better to live in peace and avoid power struggles. He has had enough in his past life, now is the time for a change.
He sighed to himself and decided to stay for a long while here in the world of Nuar. His vengeance against the Celestial Emperor can wait, but it was still a long way to go before he reached his peak strength again. And he didn't know how many millennia he had to go through to reach the strength of his former self, how much more the Celestial Emperor, who was one realm stronger than him before?
For now, he can live a peaceful life as a winemaster in this small store.
That was what he thought, but was that really be possible?
Jiu Shen suddenly felt that the system inside his head snorted softly for a brief moment, but he ignored it and continued practicing his cultivation diligently.
