The circle of chefs could not perceive anything amiss.
Aroma?
Texture?
Effect?
Merely by frying, they couldn't discern anything!
If it were handed over to them for research and made into delicious ingredients, tasted by many, they could naturally ascertain its value.
But they had only met for less than ten minutes.
They could only know its nutritional content; the other details… were still too difficult.
Seeing the chefs baffled, Zhang Wei continued his operation.
Kneading the dough… rolling…
One by one, the fried dough twists were completed under Zhang Wei's hands, then fried in Morse oil.
Golden scrolls were laid out on the table one after another, quickly piling up like a small mountain…
It was then that Blai finally discovered something was wrong!
After frying so many twists, why hadn't the 1 liter of oil diminished?
Upon closer inspection, the oil level had only dropped by a mere two to three milliliters. By rights, these twists should have consumed at least one and a half jin of oil.
Furthermore, used oil typically becomes quite murky, but the Morse oil remained as clear as ever, with all food residues settled at the bottom, not a single speck floating.
Golden-toothed Blai suddenly realized with shock, "Could it be that this oil is durable?"
The food in the gourmet world completely defied physics. For example, with the Fujioka Lemon, biting into one lemon could yield half a bucket of orange juice.
The uncompressed Pufferwhale's tongue was rich in whale oil, which could be used for frying for half a year without depletion…
Clearly!
The Morse oil was of this type as well!
"How is this possible!"
"It already possesses the most abundant energy… it should be highly concentrated…"
"Then… how terrifying must the actual nutritional content of this thing be?"
Zhang Wei asked again, "Is this thing really only worth 180 million?"
Of course not!
For the same price, how could the oil used to fry ten twists be the same as the oil used to fry twenty twists?
Golden-toothed Blai asked in a deep voice, "Then how durable is this thing?"
Zhang Wei retorted, "Do you still remember the dish from my competition, the 'Hanging Pot'?"
"I know."
"The 'Hanging Pot' contained millions of tons of ingredient soup and various seasonings, yet I never added any cooking oil. The aroma came entirely from the residual oil used for heating and greasing the pot."
Millions of tons!
Zhang Wei continued, "Frying might consume a bit more, and the twists are quite absorbent, but this one liter should be able to fry two to three thousand without issue."
Two to three thousand!
These twists, unlike the 'Hanging Pot,' contained a large amount of Morse, their oil content tens of thousands of times that of the 'Hanging Pot' ingredients!
One had to consider how difficult it was to produce Morse oil; the nutrients of tens of thousands of miles of mountains and rivers had to converge to form even a tiny bit…
Blai had to re-evaluate the price. This time, his quote was…
8.5 billion per liter!
This was already the lowest value Blai could state, leaving considerable room for negotiation.
But to his surprise, Zhang Wei readily accepted this price.
And said, "Very well, at this price, I wish to exchange this precious oil for your ingredients. I'm not at a disadvantage, am I?"
…

Blai could not deny it.
Even in the Gourmet Coliseum, Morse oil was among the top-tier ingredients, its grade absolutely not inferior.
And the list of ingredients Zhang Wei wished to exchange for contained many with a food level between 50-80. Calculating it comprehensively, Blai was actually getting a good deal.
An army is easily obtained, but a general is hard to find. Miscellaneous items, no matter how numerous, cannot compare to the value of uncut jade!
Zhang Wei's Morse oil, judged purely by taste, had an edible value of at least level 90. Combined with its durability, its nutritional value was comparable to a level 150 ingredient. This was already a rare treasure beyond the human realm!
"Then, I will settle with this Morse oil."
"Settle?"
Blai asked, "What do you mean, you're treating this thing as currency?"
"Is there a problem?"
"No problem. How much do you have? You actually intend to use this to settle. I thought you would use the Supreme Gourmet Coins issued by the Gourmet Bank."
As the Gourmet Bank's business grew, gourmet currency circulated among the common people, a topic of conversation during their leisure time. The lowest denomination of gourmet coin could be equivalent to 13,000 Berries, comparable to edible gold.
And Supreme Gourmet Coins were even more valuable, with a face value of one, worth over 100 million Berries.
But this was not the main point of the gourmet currency. Recently, Zhang Wei planned to use Morse oil and some high-end flour to create a new version of gourmet food, priced at over 200 million!
Given the production of Morse oil, it was enough to circulate throughout the entire human world.
Blai said, "Just how much… Morse oil do you have?"
Saying this, Blai was already salivating. How could Blai not be tempted by such a high-quality ingredient?
Exchanging it was a profit!
At this point, Blai no longer had the arrogance of forcing a purchase. All that remained was the discerning eye of a businessman, and the persistent desire for wealth!
"How much… it's inconvenient for me to disclose. However, I must first ask, what is the value of the ingredients I've selected?"
There were thousands of ingredients, some of which Zhang Wei had never seen, and some that the collection hall had already acquired, but the quantity was too large, and the duplication time had not been compressed to within a day.
This batch allowed Zhang Wei to expand his ingredient list by at least one-tenth, and they were all the most difficult to find rare items. It could be said that this saved Zhang Wei two years of acquisition time!
It was a massive profit!
Moreover, according to the agreement Zhang Wei requested, the Gourmet Casino must open its vaults and take out the entire stock of ingredients Zhang Wei selected, and not hide any. Otherwise…
A threefold penalty could wipe out half of the Gourmet Casino. This was a price Blai absolutely could not afford to pay.
"A total of 3,500 selected ingredients, with 1,300 types of edible level 1-30."
"1,500 types of edible level 31-60!"
"600 types of edible level 61-79…"
"There are a total of 123 types with edible level 80 and above…"
When he read out the last item, Blai's heart twitched. Each type of ingredient above level 80 had a unique story, and collecting them was incredibly difficult, requiring great effort.
However…
If it could be exchanged for Morse, it would be a worthwhile loss!
Among them, there were 67,000 ingredients below level thirty, with an average selling price of 3,500 Berries per kilogram. This was already more than double the normal price for ingredients of the same tier!
A total of!
3.5 billion!
Mountains of ingredients were exchanged for approximately one-third of a liter of Morse oil.
Zhang Wei delivered it directly.
The two exchanged a subtle glance. Although their faces were expressionless, their hearts were blooming with joy!
