The main issue is that alchemical potions cannot be flooded into the market all at once.

This makes it easy to not get a good price, and it also makes you more likely to make enemies and attract unwanted attention.

When she first started developing her territory, Li Aili wanted to secretly expand her territory for a while.

Niu Tizi swallowed the food in his mouth, stuffed in another potato pancake, and then raised his hand again.

"These huge crops are big and delicious!"

"We don't have this anywhere else, I think we should definitely do it!"

Li Aili thought for a moment, "But the Tankar elves have already ventured into the food scene..."

The minotaur stood up excitedly and said, "No, my boss, look..."

"The elves occupy the most exclusive segment of the noble market."

"My goodness! Look at them, a small piece of white bread costs two gold coins!"

"That's why your ex-husband was rich enough to allow you to enjoy the food of the elves every day."

“We’ve met quite a few nobles, like the city lord from our hometown.”

"That's a very famous figure in the underground city. He can only enjoy this meal once a year, on the birthday of the Dark God!"

"Just this one meal, hey, that's enough for him to brag about for a year!"

Li Aili: "..."

The minotaur's eyes darted around. "How about we work out something with those lower-middle-class nobles?"

After thinking about it, Li Aili realized that the minotaur was right.

Tankar Elf's food business primarily targets the world's wealthiest individuals.

She could easily differentiate herself and target the remaining market!

Li Aili immediately approved, "Okay!"

"Also, if you're going to do it, do it big."

"Starting today, everyone should start thinking about creating delicious food!"

"Then, at the end of the month, we'll hold a competition to select the best food, and award prizes to the first to tenth place winners."

"First place: 100 gold coins; tenth place: 10 gold coins; prize money decreases with each ranking."

A question mark slowly appeared above everyone's head.

Building a city-state with a unique culture is difficult, but creating a culinary capital is not.

"Also, tomorrow we'll clear out another planting area and plant the magical plants we'll need for alchemy."

"Alchemy workshop elves, get ready, we can begin."

The final step: "Tomorrow, prepare a pumpkin and a potato, then we'll go to the Merchants' Guild in Danton City!"
