Those who stood outside the market for a look couldn't afford the goods inside but were curious. Those making purchases inside were normally servants of big families.

Big families could afford natural ingredients, However, a family as powerful as Jiang Family normally had their food delivered to its manor.
If Yu Jinli hadn't wanted to see what food was like in this world, Aunt Li wouldn't have been here either.

"What's this?" Inside the market, Yu Jinli asked as he pointed at a thing which looked like a potato but several times bigger.

"Potato," Aunt Li said with a smile.
Potato? No way! A potato. How come it is so big? This potato is big enough for a whole family. Yu Jinli thought, then kept walking.

He found that ingredients in this world were larger, no matter the ingredient that looked like a potato or the ingredient that looked like a tomato.
Sure, after consulting Aunt Li, he also found these ingredients had the same name while their size changed. He wondered what they had been through.

However, he was happy that these ingredients were familiar though larger in size. In this way, he was more confident in making good food.
Of course, besides all the ingredients he already knew when he was on earth, there were ingredients he hadn't seen on earth, for example, the spiritual object he had - dragon tenderloin.
Dragon tenderloin was the essence taken from a small-size dragon.

In addition, Yu Jinli was excited to have found several condiments the first time he was here, one of which was pepper.
When he saw that bundle of familiar dried berries, he was over the moon. Though it was also several times bigger than that from earth, it was still pepper.

However, as soon as Aunt Li saw him carry a pepper, she spoke hurriedly: "Young Lady, that isn't edible."
"Why?" Yu Jinli was confused. Pepper is a must have for good food. Without it, a dish would lose its taste. Why isn't it edible?

"It burns the tongue and tastes bad. Nobody eats it," Aunt Li said in a hurry, afraid that Yu Jinli who knew nothing about it would buy it out of curiosity.
"That is because you don't know how to cook it." Yu Jinli liked pepper. The pepper here were big which meant one would last a long time. Besides, there were several clusters of them. He wanted to have them all.

"I want all of these. Do you have more?" he asked waving the sales staff over.
"Yes, more in the warehouse at the back. How many do you want?"
The sales staff sounded excited. She didn't expect that there would be customers who wanted pepper, let alone a customer who seemed to want so many.

Ever since these peppers arrived, they were in the warehouse. Nobody wanted them because they tasted awful. Therefore, except for a small portion of them was on display, the rest were left unattended in the warehouse. If it wasn't for Yu Jinli, the boss might have them destroyed soon.

How could the sales staff not feel excited now that a boy wanted them, all of them, it seemed.
Hearing that, Yu Jinli looked at the pepper out here. He didn't know when he would be able to get other condiments. If there was only pepper, it would be impossible to make good food. Therefore, if he had all these pepper at home, he could do nothing with them.

"Do you have salt?" Yu Jinli asked, all of a sudden.
