Sweeping the entire vegetable sky, in addition to collecting nearly 600 ozone grass plants, hundreds of other vegetables were also obtained, all of which are top-notch products that have never been found in the human world.
However, half of the vegetable and fruit species also exist in the distant country of clouds. It seems that they are both in the clouds and the ecological environment is quite similar.
By the time Zhang Wei was relieved from the robbery state, it was already three days later.
It was already the fourth day that I led everyone back to the land, found Nuangang where a new mark was being stored, and teleported back to the Northland.
Facing that high-profile cooking showdown, Zhang Wei was already five days late!
Kurama must be anxious, right?
When the thick fog rose over the extremely low ice sheet, everyone looked over there.
At this time, the Great Glacier was quite lively. In addition to the people who visited last time, there were also a large number of merchants who came here to visit.
The previous rumors have spread, and everyone is eager to communicate with this emerging chamber of commerce to see if they can obtain some business opportunities.
The auction above the 33rd floor of the Great Glacier was held at the same time as Zhang Wei's food halberd. In order to witness this communication between ten-star chefs, countless chefs came.
Among them was an unknown old man in a suit and leather suit invited by Kurama.
Master of taste!
Equivalent to a taster in the previous life, he is proficient in cooking skills and is extremely valuable. He has tasted all kinds of delicacies and has extremely high requirements and discernment of food.
The masters of taste who can be invited by Kurama are top-notch in terms of status and technical skills.
"We are fully prepared for this visit. Based on the value estimates, we can definitely grab all the high-quality ingredients in the food bank!"
"When all its high-quality ingredients are exhausted, I'll see how they become arrogant!"
"Hey, for such a grand showdown, we have come all the way here in vain. The food here is also the same as the expo! It is simply a grand view garden of ingredients. We must take this opportunity to increase our knowledge!"
"I heard that the School of Delicious Food Collection has started classes. If Zhang Wei's skills are as superb as the legend says, I will definitely learn from him."
"Did you hear about it? Zhang Wei is also training food hunters and setting up a special organization to carry them out. Unexpectedly, those rude and reckless people also have an organization."
Gourmet Hunters General Union.
This is a training institution newly established by Zhang Wei. In addition to issuing bounty orders for various ingredients, it is also responsible for training novice food hunters.
Currently, the atmosphere within the team is quite good. The newly established department is also quite dynamic.
People from all walks of life have paid attention to it, and many senior food hunters have come here to volunteer and help with the construction for free. From their professional perspectives, they have put forward many useful suggestions.
Zhang Wei walked out of Nuangang. The electromagnetic waves here were chaotic, but there was a feeling of excitement and anticipation.
"West Wind."
"I'm here."
"These two are wanted criminals from the Kingdom of Clouds and the Northland, True Lord Yunshang and Xie Min. They have made great contributions to me during this trip. I hope to eliminate their bounties and allow them to
They returned to the Kingdom of Clouds."
Xifeng nodded and said, "I will contact Mo Duzhi about this matter."
True Monarch Yunshang looked nervous and said quickly: "Mr. Zhang Wei...there is also the matter of amnesty."
Zhang Wei promised.
Then he added: "As for the attitude towards the Kingdom of Clouds, Beidi's treatment method is too harsh. I want to be able to pardon some criminals who have committed pretentious crimes, and give leniency to those who can surrender."
"In addition, the Northland's garrison in the Country of Clouds is arrogant and domineering, which has seriously affected the relaxation of relations between the two places. Modu is urged to form an inspection team and strictly enforce military discipline and law to prevent war crimes from being committed again."
"The war was a misfortune. Don't let this misfortune continue."
Although half a year has passed since the war.
However, the relationship between the two parties is still tense, and Beidi's identity has also changed from victim to perpetrator.
It is true that rivers of blood flowed in Mocheng, but the criminals who deserved punishment have accepted the punishment, and the remaining people should not continue to bear this pain.
Moreover, the current Kingdom of Clouds has become a corrupt paradise for the high-ranking people in the North, and the benefits gained from it are rarely returned to the people of the North.
The fruits of this war are being tasted by the decadent old aristocratic class, which Zhang Wei is disgusted with.
True Lord Yunshang was ecstatic and immediately bowed and said: "Mr. Zhang Wei, the entire Kingdom of Clouds will be impressed by your kindness."
certainly.
Zhang Wei naturally understands the allusion of the stick and the carrot.
The stick is enough now, and all the bad guys have been punished. If you wave the carrot at this time, the fame you will gain is absolutely exaggerated.
The matter between Xie Min and Yunshang Zhenjun was settled.
Zhang Wei came to the increasingly perfect Delicious Food Collection Academy. Compared with a month ago, the furnishings here were more luxurious, and the indoor temperature had reached a refreshing and pleasant standard of 18 degrees.
In the very center of the Delicious Food Collection Academy, there is a place with an architectural style similar to the Colosseum. This is a food duel arena specially built by Zhang Wei to imitate the Battle of Shoji Halberds in his previous life.
Its shape imitates the high-level layout of the special chef arena in the Chinese version of Ichiban.
Below the center is a circular venue with eight cooking stations, which means it can support eight people dueling at the same time.
There are all kinds of kitchen utensils on it, including hundreds of knives, various pots and bowls, some strange filters, gouging knives, cutting wires, and heavy stones.
Further to the periphery are ninety-nine steps that gradually rise, just like the auditorium of the Colosseum, but there are no people here at all, and all kinds of food are piled up.
There is an ice cellar underneath, and the temperature of the pool on the east side gradually changes, housing various fish, shrimps, crabs, frogs, abalone, etc.
Various seasonings are piled on the edge, such as sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, fresh, fragrant, numb... followed by dry powder, paste, solid pieces, water samples, etc.
The northwest is full of various fruits, vegetables, melons, fruits and meats.
In the north is a high wall where all the audience and judging seats are.
The high wall has twenty floors, and each floor has floor-to-ceiling viewing windows and soundproof glass. This prevents the noisy environment inside from affecting the performance of the players and ensures a clear view of the audience.
Xifeng said: "Boss, the businessman is also very anxious... Where should I deal with it first?"
"The cooking showdown will probably last a long time, so let's get the auction underway first."
"Okay, then I invite everyone to enter the food bank first."
The door is open.
Everyone walked into this beautiful miracle building with questions and curiosity.
Exclamations kept coming!
A large proportion of the tourists who came this time were chefs, and their vision of ingredients was more ruthless than that of gourmet hunters and businessmen.
Just on the first floor, someone discovered a lot of clues!
None of the ingredients here are normal!
"Not only is it several times bigger, but it also has no flaws at all. It can be used immediately after being rinsed."
"I know the chocolate cicada very well. This thing is definitely a large chocolate cicada! I understand the reason... but have you ever seen a chocolate cicada as big as a basketball?"
"And this chocolate cicada is horribly fat. I use tens of thousands of chocolate cicadas in my dessert shop every year, and I have never seen one so fat! No, I must buy it!"
The treasure of the store!
The same exclamation came from the mouths of my colleagues. All the ingredients were so perfect and could be called collection-level!
Even eating is a luxury and waste, and their birth is a gift from God!
Looking at the price, people exclaimed again: "Each kilogram is only eleven times that of ordinary chocolate cicadas? Isn't this a huge bargain?"
"I want to buy it!"
Today’s floors 1-32 belong to the free shopping area.
Since there are only a dozen days of copy volume, the transaction amount is less than half a month ago.
Zhang Wei led everyone directly to the 33rd floor.
Introduced level by level.
"This is ancient dried fish. It was formed by whales trapped in salt-alkali land in ancient times. Under high temperature and pressure, the body fat overflowed and turned into amber. It was sealed under the earth and could not be released until thousands of years later."
"It can be said that the selling price of this kind of food is one cent less per serving because the production cycle is too long and its own properties are too precious."
"And as you can see, the ancient dried fish on display now is the size of a basketball, while the normal one is only the size of an eggplant. So the whale sealed inside was also quite exquisite in ancient times!"
Xifeng said while listing the information.
According to the known classics, the largest ancient dried fish was only the size of a beer bottle.
Xifeng held up an ancient dried fish: "It's quite heavy to buy. The density is probably similar to gold. It can be seen that the nutrients inside are quite dense. The approved capture level is thirty-five."
"Okay, next is the second level 35 high-quality ingredient."
Inside the ice wall, a muscular white-haired cow was sealed inside.
Lifelike!
"After anesthesia, it is immediately thrown into high-oxygen water, and then quickly frozen with the help of the cold wind in the north. If it is defrosted according to the correct method, there is even a 70% chance that the cow will come back to life. This is also a little trick for our store to preserve ingredients!
"
"The white-haired Sindy cattle abundant in Wolf Valley are top-quality beef that only five-star or above chefs are qualified to cook. As we all know, beef contains the most myoglobin and very little higher-quality collagen."
"But Sindy White Beef is different. The rich collagen in it will make the skin of the eater smooth and firm. It is also called Venus Beef! It is very popular among middle-aged women!"
White-haired Sindy cows are quite common.
But I have never seen one so tall!
The coal boss took out a stick of wood from his arms, raised a match and lit it.
The smell of tobacco filled the place.
"nice one……"
“All good stuff!”
"Floors 1-32 have also been rebuilt, and all the ingredients are of abnormally high quality!"
"Why, why does the food bank have so many super-high-quality ingredients, even so high-quality that they are rare for a hundred years! Could it be said that this is really the blessing of the God of Food?"
The coal boss was very puzzled.
How did Zhang Wei do it? Should we suddenly change our attitude towards him?
With such profound strength, except for the behemoths like the four major chambers of commerce, everyone else must admire it, right?
Since the thirty-third floor, the types of ingredients have dropped sharply, but the unit prices have become even more exaggerated. Under balance, the subsequent prices have not decreased much.
A rough introduction.
Zhang Wei ordered his people to start dismantling the ice and transporting it to the trading square outside the food bank. It was already filled with various flying vehicles, each loaded with cargo.
There is gold, food ingredients, props, and daily necessities here, all of which are properties used for trading.
The first is the ingredients on the thirty-third floor. After another twenty days, the reserves of ingredients inside are even more exaggerated!
Normal first-grade ingredients are between 1-3 Baileys per kilogram.
Level 10 ingredients range from 15 to 70 per kilogram.
Level 20 ingredients cost between 100-350 per kilogram.
Level 30 ingredients cost between 400-2500 per kilogram.
This only refers to the price of conventional ingredients. The meat of some species is indeed quite unpalatable, and there are also types that are extremely delicious.
For example, the price of level 27 explosive puffer fish is a terrifying 6,000 beli per kilogram!
And the price of Zhang Wei’s perfect ingredients is exaggerated!
"There are 85 kinds of ingredients on the 33rd floor, with an average of 20,000 beli per kilogram. The total weight of the current ingredients is about 185 tons!"
Compared with the tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of tons in the previous floors, the total weight of the ingredients on the thirty-third floor is pitifully small.
And this is a combined bonus of more than fifty copies!
Take the grade 33 golden salmon roe as an example. One serving is only less than 50 grams, and the unit price has reached 600,000 per kilogram.
Although the price is so high, it only takes 20 servings to get one kilogram.
There is also a level 33 grape lizard. The price of its meat is very low, but the parasitic grapes growing on its skin are an excellent delicacy, and its price is no less than that of golden salmon roe!
Of these 185 tons, less than 80 tons are truly valuable ingredients, and the remaining parts are sold at very low prices!
However, relying on the strong collection-level quality, no matter how high the price Zhang Wei offers, it will be popular!
"The auction begins!"
"There are about 80 servings of each ingredient on this level, totaling 85 types."
"In order to ensure that no one can have semi-out-of-print ingredients and form a certain monopoly to make a lot of money, starting from this level it will be divided according to type, 85 types, each portion has 17 types, a total of five portions!"
“The starting price for each copy is 300 million!”
The price is so high!
I thought the average price could be as low as about 150 million.
"Someone is coming!"
"Move the gold!"
The coal boss came prepared this time and prepared three large ships with a total of 1,200 tons of gold!
The price of one ton of gold is 8.5 million beli, and the gold is worth 10 billion!
However, in this level of transactions, gold is just an appetizer, and other bosses also use the pocket money first.
The really expensive stuff is yet to come.
There were several unfamiliar faces participating this time, and Zhang Wei didn't know their identities, but they all remained silent in their seats. He didn't know whether it was because they lacked strength, or they couldn't stand the taste of level 33 ingredients.
On the 34th floor, the starting price is 320 million!
On the 35th floor, the starting price is 580 million!
On the 36th floor, the starting price is 250 million!
The quantity of goods on the thirty-sixth floor is too small, but it is a bit exaggerated.
At this level, every bid is extremely rational. The boss is equipped with a professional team behind him, responsible for measuring the price of the auction items, the profit ratio, and the allocation plan of the funds.
That kind of bratty show-off scene will never happen in such a high-end occasion!
On the 39th floor, there are ten copies in total, each with a starting price of 880 million!
BB corn is also a level 39 ingredient, but rare ingredients that do not reach the perfect level will not be selected. Otherwise, 1,200 tons of BB corn alone can be auctioned for sky-high prices.
There are ten copies in total on the 41st floor, each with a starting price of 1.3 billion!
Finally, someone consumed all the gold and began to unload the food from the ship.
An old Arab man wearing gauze and similar in appearance to Ah San was the first to ask for inspection.
[Discovered food that can be caught: Poisonous Zombie Snake]
[Capture level: 25]
[Introduction: 3-5 meters long and weighing about 300 kilograms, it is an extremely fierce and highly venomous snake that is only found in the Viper Valley of the Western Continent]
[Introduction: The highly venomous zombie snake has a well-developed venom sac and can produce 150 grams of neurotoxin every day. If it enters the blood circulation, one gram of snake venom is enough to kill a level 20 food hunter.]
The old Arab man rubbed his hands and said: "I heard that the food bank buys unlimited ingredients. I wonder if I can eat this batch?"
The others cursed angrily.
This old man is too cunning.
The highly venomous zombie snake has a strong reproductive capacity, low use value, and is difficult to capture. It is a species that is difficult for people except professional snake catchers to come into contact with. Moreover, this kind of venomous snake is quite common in Snake Valley.
As long as professional snake catchers are dispatched, thousands of them can be caught in a day!
Supply exceeds demand.
This old man actually came here to sell unsalable goods and turn the endless snakes in his shop into more popular products!
So cunning!
Zhang Wei didn't care at all and said without hesitation: "No problem, as long as it's goods that the food bank doesn't have, I'll take whatever you want to sell them for!"
Zhang Wei believes that as long as there is a collection hall, enough advantages can be extracted from even the most rubbish ingredients, as long as the quantity is sufficient.
but……
The number of this old man is quite sufficient!
Completely meets Zhang Wei’s needs!
The old man asked again: "How much is OK?"
"Stop talking nonsense, can we hurry up?"
"Hey, okay."
Then the old Arab man turned around and yelled: "Hurry up and unload the goods! Hurry up!"
Professional snake boxes, each box contains fifteen venomous zombie snakes.
The appraisers at the food bank made extensive comments and finally unanimously decided that the edible value of this thing is not even as good as the tenth-level ingredients. The price per kilogram is at most 25 beli. According to the meat yield, each item is purchased for 3,500 beli.
And this old man could make a hundred thousand of them at once!
"Damn it, this guy brought all the poisonous zombie snakes in the Snake Valley!"
A total of twenty large ships, nothing else, all filled with poisonous zombie snakes!
Then, Zhang Wei continued: "Why can't you sell your boat? I can also buy it!"
The large glaciers are extremely short of transportation capacity, and this kind of aerial airship that can cross various dangerous places and fight against extremely harsh environments is exactly what Zhang Wei needs!
The old Arab man coughed lightly: "This... I really can't buy this!"
"For this kind of thing, you should go to the Scholar's Tower in the Eastern Continent. They sell all the aerospace airships. However, the supply of high-end aerospace airships exceeds the demand. I think it will be difficult for you to get them."
Just then.
A voice sounded from the businessman's seat.
"Does Mr. Zhang Wei want a boat?"
"Oh? You are?"
The speaker was a handsome young man, wearing a neat and gorgeous suit, very elegant and decent.
A simple watch and ring look like they are worth a lot of money.
The handsome guy smiled politely: "Scholar's Tower greets you, Mr. Zhang Wei!"
Tower of Scholars?
After the four major salt merchants and the Zhudao Villa, the third top chamber of commerce that has been contacted is the only one that has not yet appeared is the most mysterious and powerful Gourmet Chamber of Commerce!
The handsome guy said: "Please allow me to introduce myself. I am a doctorate from the Tower of Scholars. I have 15% authority over the external transactions of ships, as well as some internal policy influence. You can call me - Dr. Caron!"
"
"I heard that the demand for ships in the Tower of Scholars exceeds the supply, and there is an endless stream of buyers. Why do you only give me the purchasing authority?"
"Mr. Zhang Wei, don't you have any consciousness about this matter?"
