Qi's Cuisine

Recently I took on the quest 'Qi's Cuisine' and it entails making 100,000G worth of cooked foods and shipping them.

What would be the easiest food to make and reach the goal fastest and just for fun what would be the most profitable food to make?
 
Well, one of the easiest ways to do it, if you have a lot of money, is just to buy 669 coffee, brew it into triple shot espresso, and sell it. That will cost you 191,700 g. Another good option is to grow 1667 wheat, turn it into wheat flour with a mill, cook it into bread, and sell it. Alternatively, you can buy 1667 wheat flour from Pierre. This method is apparently a bit cheaper than the coffee method and I only just realized it, but oh well. Buying the wheat flour will cost you 166,700 g. I'm not entirely sure as far as profitability goes, I just did the coffee method, but am from now on going to do the wheat flour method from Pierre.

Thank you!! I think I'll probably do the flour method :)

It's also worth to an extent "cleaning out the pantry" if applicable. When it came up I found I had around 200 spare eggs on hand which I converted into Chocolate Cakes, which were a net neutral (40,000 in sugar and flour spent, 40,000 earned, just gave away the eggs for free basically). If it comes up again I know I've got the ingredients for around 100 tropical curry on hand currently as another example. I'm just saying if you've got any ingredients in sizeable quantities currently going unused, there's no reason not to toss them into the mix so it's less of a cost to complete.

Do these calculations include using Qi Seasoning or are they only from raw ingredients?

I agree with you that there are better uses of Qi Gems than buying Qi Seasoning for the purpose of selling food at higher price. Especially as there will be less Qi Gems rewarded for completing the quest, than gems used (leading to a net loss).

I just wanted to clarify if your numbers were for "do the quest once whatever it costs" or a viable strategy for completing the quest, possibly several times. Thanks! :thumbsup:

I did the wheat flour method and made a lot of bread with it. Worked just fine :’) best of luck to you!!

I grow a lot of beets, turn in sugar (each beet seed cost 10, and become 2 sugar), then I make raspberry jam (1 raspberry and 1 sugar); or I do eggplant parmesan, or I grow a lot of coffee in pots, turn in regular coffe and then make a lot of triple shot espresso.

Raspberry? Jam requiring a raspberry and a sugar? Are you playing a modded game?

Also, you plant eggplant which you then cook with a tomato to make eggplant parmesan.

And if you have garden pots, and have maxed out your greenhouse, trees and ancient fruit, between the trees around the outside I'd fill in with pots with coffee, yes. 20 plants is 16 coffee per 2 days. In 2 days, after you get the coffee maker from Evelyn, that's 1 coffee/day. Total that's 18 every 2 days which is 6 triple espresso every 2 days which is 3 triple espresso/day. That should keep you well-caffeinated.

Also, what's this either/or situation? If you're talking about which ones to use for the Qi's Cuisine quest, you can mix and match.

I think @Ilune is talking about Cranberry Candy. :)
Except that uses apples too. There are literally only FOUR recipes that use 1 sugar and 1 other ingredient. They are glazed yams (1 sugar, 1 yam), ice cream (1 sugar, 1 milk), ginger ale (1 sugar, 1 ginger) and cranberry sauce (1 sugar, 1 cranberry)...

...so I think you're thinking of cranberry sauce, the only recipe to use 1 fruit and 1 sugar. Still, cranberry sauce is cheap stuff, a terrible choice for Qi's Cuisine. I mean, of the things that can be made with sugar, it is literally the cheapest. You're better off turning the cranberries into preserves and the beats into pickles, sell the preserves/pickles, buy flour and make bread.

Anyway, I wanted to make sure, as mods can introduce other fruit/veg with which the rest of us are not familiar.

Ah, okay, so not a modded game. It was a language barrier thing. Don't worry about it, mate. 😊

Anyway, yeah, the beats and cranberries are better being processed in jars and then sold in order to pay for the wheat you use to make bread.

jars are a bit too much expensive for me (toooo much coal) and all my kegs are always full with ancient fruits!
 
You can buy coal from Clint.
This is very true, and in general it's a great investment. However it's worth noting that past Y1, each Preserves Jar would cost 2000 for the Coal alone (8 at 250 each), so for processing of Cranberries specifically, where we can assume best case you're gaining an average value of 200 each processing them, it's roughly a month before you'd turn a profit, assuming you've got the other ingredients of course.

Still very worthwhile in general, I think it's a great investment in Y1 even if cash is tight, as you can gain an extra 500 per pumpkin if processed in preserves jars, so it only takes a week to turn a profit if you don't have enough pumpkin processing power presently. Still in this particular scenario I don't think it'd be an optimal choice for completing the quest, especially given the time constraints at hand.

if you have the coffee ring and bulgur ring I recommend combine then then spam dangerous mine level 55-60 and farm some spiders. Hammer + artful and arcobat and some ginger. also the mob perfume.
second ring is crab shell + Iridium ring. Hammer right click then spam left click you will find this game different.
you will find so much coffee and triple shoots coal and prismatic shard and rads node even galaxy soul. I got 5 souls this method I only purchased it twice in game.

Ah, thanks for the correction. I had even double checked it on the wiki...and I still wrote the wrong thing. :)
