29	Grocer Pano Objective: Huh! Huh! I see you are still heaving around that potato sack that I gave you. Didn't you say you needed it for cooking? Wherever it is used, it is not good to let potatoes spoil. If the potato begins to sprout, it is difficult to cook and tastes bad as well.

For that, I will need five ingredients. I need Mandragora Essence* to make a sauce for the steak. You can get this fr...
40	Jonas Objective: Ask about the juice of the mandragora I see that you have not yet been able to gather the five ingredients I requested. But there is no need to rush. A dish's flavor depends on how much care was given in gathering the ingredients. If you use just any ingredient, the dish will not be tasty, no matter how well you cook it.
