When the space was upgraded, all the spiritual fruits, trees, and vegetables in the space died overnight, which really broke Ye Xiruo's heart.

Finally, a batch of higher-grade, mutated spirit fruit trees were found and replanted. Nourished by the spiritual energy of the space and diluted spiritual water, the spirit fruit trees quickly grew vigorously, each one growing rapidly, then flowering, bearing fruit, and ripening. This cycle was also very short, with a batch of fruit ripening in about half a month.

This time, Ye Xiruo planted quite a few varieties of fruits, including apples, longans, durians, pears, grapes, and spirit peaches—about twenty different kinds—as well as some edible flowers, such as roses for whitening and beautifying the skin, and fragrant osmanthus. All of these can be used to brew spirit wine.

You said that Ye Xiruo was often not in the space and no one collected the spirit fruits, but that's a thing of the past. Now that the space has been upgraded, the system has also absorbed a lot of energy and can help Ye Xiruo with some things. Of course, the prerequisite is that Ye Xiruo has to give the system more spirit stones.

There must be enough spiritual fruits in the space for at least several meals now. Anyway, as soon as the spiritual fruits ripen, the system directly collects them and puts them in the storage compartment.

This storage compartment is also amazing; each type of item occupies one compartment, so it can fit any number of items.

Having fully recovered from the Seven-Colored Divine Spring, Ye Xiruo continued her grand project of brewing spirit wine. She didn't want to brew all the spirit fruits into spirit wine, but at least half of them needed to be brewed.

In the end, washing the fruit, drying the fruit, stirring the fruit, adding yeast, and sealing the wine barrels almost became instinctive.

Although she was very impatient, Ye Xiruo was still brewing wine seriously. Although this was mass production, it did not mean that she was going to brew medium or low-grade spirit wine.

Days passed by, and the wine barrels in the space piled up more and more. Shui Qingqing now spent her days brewing wine, soaking in the divine spring, and sleeping, living a very fulfilling life.

"How many days have passed outside?"

"Three days."

Oh, it's been three days. So she's been in the space for two months now. Her mind is still a bit fuzzy. She's turned more than half of the spiritual fruits into spiritual wine. She feels a great sense of accomplishment.

Staying in the space, with its abundant spiritual energy, is ideal for cultivation and alchemy. However, it has been three days, and Brother Xiu Qi should be back by now. It would be better for her to go back and check on him.

If Ye Xiruo left Fulan Residence and headed straight for their courtyard, she would walk along the busiest streets, making those who wanted to harm her think twice before doing so. If she accidentally injured some important person, it would be a loss.

Ye Xiruo returned to their courtyard smoothly. The courtyard has now changed its business model. Instead of making whatever you want to eat, they now offer set meals: two vegetarian dishes, one meat dish, and one soup; two meat dishes, one vegetarian dish, and one soup; or all meat dishes and one soup. Desserts can be ordered separately.

In this way, they only need to cook these few dishes every day, which saves a lot of time and they won't be too tired.

This method was naturally devised by Ye Xiruo. Although some people were dissatisfied, they couldn't stop Ye Xiruo and her group from monopolizing the market. Take it or leave it.

Coupled with the carefully selected set meals prepared by Ye Xiruo, it is a rare delicacy, so there are still many people queuing up to buy it.

The six chefs were completely in awe of Ye Xiruo; she was truly incredibly intelligent.

"Have Brother Xiu Qi and the others returned?"

"not yet."

What's going on? Her contract with Brother Xiu Qi is perfectly fine, so Brother Xiu Qi is currently safe and sound, which is good.

As long as everyone returns safely, Ye Xiruo will be content.

Ye Xi asked a chef for a pot, preparing to cook some dishes that Xiu Qiyu liked: sweet and sour pork, sweet and sour spare ribs, sweet and sour pork, braised beef with potatoes, and garlic shrimp. She also made butterfly pastries, lotus seed paste pastries, and fish ball soup.

Two chefs offered to come and help, but Ye Xiruo waved her hand and said, "No need, you two go about your business and don't let it interfere with your earning of spirit crystals. Just ask two apprentices to help me chop and wash the vegetables."

"Alright then." After spending so many days together, they had come to understand that Ye Xiruo, on the surface, was a "highly respected" and "exceptionally talented" genius alchemist, but in reality, he was just like Bai Qi, with the mind of a child.

There is only one thing: Night Alchemist is serious, responsible, and meticulous in everything he does.

The Night Alchemist is omniscient and omnipotent, and has become an idol for many people. He is an alchemist, spirit wine master, and spirit chef, and his combat power seems to be incredibly strong as well.

It's a pity that such a good alchemist was given to that big bad wolf, Xiu Qiyu.

With the help of two apprentices, plus the purple beast fire in Ye Xiruo's hands, cooking was so fast it was like flying, incredibly cool.

Not only were the people buying the boxed lunch sets stunned, but even the six chefs were amazed. It was so cool! This series of smooth, beautiful, and mesmerizing movements captivated everyone.

"Is this your new chef?" someone asked directly, naturally wanting to taste whether Ye Xiruo's cooking was as delicious as her cooking skills.

"No, she's the big boss here. We're all her apprentices. She doesn't usually cook, and even if she does, she doesn't sell it. This is specially made for her." We don't get any, so you should give up!

"Really not selling? I'll offer three times the amount of spirit crystals."

"Not for sale." Am I that cheap for my labor?

Ye Xiruo naturally refused outright.

"I'll offer five times the amount of spirit crystals."

"Only five times? How dare you bring that up and embarrass yourself? Eight times!"

"I'll pay ten times the amount."

"I'm sorry everyone, the dishes are not for sale today. Starting tomorrow, I will cook ten dishes a day and auction them off to the highest bidder."

Today's dishes are for Brother Xiuqi, so naturally they can't be sold. But who would turn down spirit crystals? They're so poor they're almost starving.

We definitely need to make money from spirit crystals, but we can't lower our standards. As the saying goes, scarcity makes things valuable. First, pique their interest, then release a limited edition. Things that are sought after but unattainable are naturally the most perfect.

Several chefs, rubbing their hands together, said, "Should we pool our money and buy one dish? It's been so long since we've had anything cooked by the big boss!"

"It seems so."

People in line: Σ(°△°|||)︴, these chefs are too shameless. They're so close to the source, they actually want to take the lead. No way! There are only ten dishes in total, and they want to get a share? That's impossible.

"Thank you all for coming. It is our pursuit and our duty to make the dishes you like. On the opening day of Zuixianju, everything will be 20% off and drinks will be 10% off. Please come and support us then."

"This is necessary; I need to queue up early to reserve a seat."
