Stuck

[linnbarry]

Hello

There is a problem with the game. I'm stuck on the merchant quest where you need to make drool with Joy noodles. I used the pot with meat and meat with rib, flour, alfalfa and Seesai Pepper Blend but it made "sand tea noodles" I tried soo many times that I consumed all the
Seesai Pepper Blend. Now I have none left, I can't buy it, I can't reset the quest and can't do anything about it...what do I do?

Also I don't have any precious save files to go back to...I'm playing it on pc.

Actually, how far past the cooking have you gone in your game? The game auto-saves when you sleep and again periodically when questing. Go to your menu and choose "load" and you will have some auto-saves, if it's same day, just restart the day. I am also on PC.

ETA: if you are putting in the right ingredients and getting sand tea noodle I'd bug report, the ingredients for that are wildly different.

How to bug report?

There is a bug thread above.

Have you using the correct method (cooking pot, wok, steamer, oven)?

Just checked the ingredients in my game and the game shows the same five ingredients as always:

I think OP might have accidentally picked the wrong cooking method.

Just wait till the mysterious man reappears and you can rebuy his peppers.

The quest isn't going anywhere.

The mission has a 3 day limit, according to the wiki, and is the only source of the Seesai Pepper Blend. Since you've already used up all of the Seesai Pepper Blend, and don't have any previous saves to load, there's nothing left to do except give up or wait for the deadline to pass, You'll fail the mission either way, of course.
