Wow I never expected to earn this much. I had earned about 248 gold and 85 silver. This will be roughly enough to cover my ingredient cost for the week. I have roughly 20 more serving of normal ingredients left, I never expected people to like my food this much, but that is to be expected, food like this is once in a lifetime opportunity. And their body probably craved for more of this after eating all the crap food in their life.

Now I need to start using my high-quality ingredients such as meat of beast cow, instead of serving my customers meat of normal cows. I could have served them the meat of beast cows, and other soup and salad made of other high-quality ingredients, but that would have probably bankrupted me on the first day itself. Even the meat of beast cow per steak costed me 2 gold and selling that for 5 silver no fool other rich and loaded people will do that.

Besides I gave them the opportunity to taste food that they will never taste in their lifetime.

But what am I going to do with the remaining ingredients? Ah, I know. I soon started cooking all the remaining 20 ingredient in en-masse. After cooking all of them I paced them in containers I bought for emergency use such as this. Then I took them one by one to the shops around my store and gave it to the owners. I am pretty sure after eating it in the morning they will probably be craving for more. Not only can I get them to like me by doing this, but any other people that is in their shops will probably be hooked by the smell of the food. Another way of free advertisement. Along with that they will probably be craving my food so much that they will support me if anything happens, in order to get free food from me. As the pricing menu even shocked them, what they earn for month can barely buy the cheapest item on my menu.

They were all pleasantly surprised when I took them the food. I said it was my gift for them for trying out my shop in the morning. They were all hooked and happy.

I returned to my shop it was only 9:30 am. I stretched for a bit, before cooking something with the high-grade ingredients and eating it. Although it tasted bland to me, it's much better than the crap that they cook for me.

Suddenly after 5 minutes of eating, my body started glowing, while emitting a fair amount of luminescence, whereas my hair kept growing about 20 cm. I could feel my body's cells being recharged and getting stronger. The tiredness I felt from not sleeping for the past day just disappeared and was replaced by feeling that I could run a marathon. Somehow I also felt that something in me is slowly healing as well but using my soul sense I couldn't identify what it is.

What is happening?

Could it be because of the food?

If so why did it only happen to me when all the people ate the same thing?

Wait could it be because I used beast ingredients to cook, and somehow managed to conserve magi particles in the ingredient?

A similar experience have happened before according to the memory of John had in childhood. He once was invited when he was 7 to eat the food of the royal chefs beast food. At that time most of the chefs' food was only able to get about 15% of nutrients and magi particle preserved, but suddenly the current royal chef made some kind special technique to preserve 30% of nutrients and magi particle. John could still feel the difference between eating a 15% energy preserved food and a 30% food. When he ate the 15% it felt that he just ate a tasty meal, but when he ate the 30% preserved food, it made him feel revitalised but not in the league of what I just felt now. But this is strange why am I able to get a reaction like this, could it be I was able to conserve the magi particle and nutrients in the ingredients while cooking, without losing any of them.

In this world there are normal animals and food grown as food. But occasionally some of these animals or food mutate and transform into what is known as Beasts. This is because these animals or plants or grown in a magi particle rich environment forcing them to evolve slowly with the help of magi particle, absorbed in their bodies.

Once they are evolved, their whole body is coated by one of the natural elements, such as fire, water, earth, air, lightning etc. Even plants are not an exception to this. This coating is there as a lair of defence for them. Once mutated they can pass this mutation to their offspring. This is an exception only to animals and plants and not humans. Once they evolve not only the difficulty in controlling them increases but their natural taste increases too. Along with the taste, these beast ingredients are highly packed with nutrients almost 10 times the amount of what normal ingredients have.

These nutrients are not simple form of nutrient, as they contain magi particle in them that eating them revitalises the body and cells. Eating these kind of food is good for everyone especially magi. These kind of beast food help increase their magi particle accumulation, and for normal people consuming magi particle without awakening magi particle in their body helps vitalises the cells and increases their life span if consumed long term, and even has the potential to awaken as a magi. But unfortunately, in the process of cooking them most of the nutrients and magi particle are lost, such that once cooked all chef loses about 90% of the nutrients and magi particles in it.

The emperor has chefs that specialises in conserving these nutrients and magi particle as much as possible, either by using an award that conserves the magi particles or being a magi that has extremely good control of exterior magi particles. However, those chefs still lose about minimum of 70% of nutrients and particles.

No one knows why these particle and nutrients just disappear during cooking. All they know is that any beast ingredient has to be handled extremely careful.

Now people might think to get the full effect why not just eat the ingredient raw instead of cooking and losing all the nutrients and magi laced particles? Well the reason for this is eating ingredients raw is like eating a bomb.

Once a cattle or plant becomes a beast cattle or beast plant, it is surrounded by one of the natural element. But when it dies to become an ingredient the elemental protection of it is switched of. But when someone eat the ingredient raw it causes some kind of reaction that activates the elemental protection of the ingredient, while inside the body. The ingredient then turns to use everything inside the body as a fuel to further its elemental protection, by absorbing the nearby muscle, blood etc. Therefore, destroying the body from the inside.

However, this is negated once the ingredient is processed, there were countless research done why this was happening and so far no conclusive reason is found. But it is believed that once the meat is processed whatever in the meat that causes it to activate its natural defence is lost when being processed thus being safe to consume, however by processing or cooking the ingredient, the ingredient loses most of its nutrients and magi particles.

But why am I able to cause such a drastic effect, when cooking when even the royal head chef couldn't?

Could it be my instinct in knowing how to cook has naturally brought out the full potential of the food without losing any magi particle and nutrients? Then this in itself is a scary ability along with my ability to control my senses.

This means that any food I make with higher form of ingredients has the possibility to bring out its full potential. It is good that I tried the food first, now the 50 gold and 100 gold feels to cheap. Lets change it to 500 and 1000 gold respectively. Besides being able to eat the food that even the emperor can never eat is a golden chance. My future customer would understand if I changed the price.
