I Became a Food Developer in Another World - Chapter 15

Reviews of the ramen varied.

“Senior, can you make it spicier than this?”

“… Huh? No, it’s possible, but is that okay?”

“Yes, it’s okay now, but it feels a little bit stuffy.”

“… … .”

Aria tilted her head as if something was missing.

“Oh! Death penalty. This is surprisingly delicious. It seems perfect for a meal.”

Zion only tasted spicy a few times at first, but soon started eating the ramen.

“Whoa, Whoa, it tastes good, but isn’t it too spicy for you?”

Lanya kept licking her tongue and sipping her cola.

And the saint.

“This is crazy.”

He left a short but powerful comment.

“Oh, I didn’t mean it was crazy, I meant it was crazy delicious.”

“You don’t have to worry, I won’t misunderstand.”

They say that words that come out unintentionally come from daily habits, so it seemed clear that the saint often swore.

So, leaving the saint’s crazy reaction behind, I tried to give ramen to our Matap family members.

‘Whoa, hoo, it’s spicy and I’m sweating, but I keep going in!’

‘I can’t eat it because it’s spicy. Give me some water. Quickly!’

It was generally well-received, but it seemed like the spiciness needed to be adjusted.

Except for those with a unique palate like Aria, the mainstream reaction was that it was spicy. Although, it seemed like there were some who enjoyed it.

‘I have to make two flavors.’

Mild and spicy.

I thought it would be okay to divide it like that.

*

Although the direction of ramen was set, the production process was not smooth from the start.

“This is going to be difficult.”

Ciel shook his head after seeing the ‘noodles’ in ramen.

“It’s complex in appearance and has a unique texture, so it’s impossible to make without a basic base.”

Alchemy is the science of ‘imitation’.

And the imitation was not 100% identical to the original.

You can make it as close to 100% as possible, but it will never become the real thing.

That is why there is no such thing as perfect alchemy.

However, if that base is there, the story is different.

Just as cola has carbonated water, Pringles has potato dough, and gelato has milk and cream, if the base for ramen is prepared, it becomes possible to make a complete processed food.

In the case of ramen, there were two bases.

“I need a base of this red powder and cotton.”

The ramen soup and ramen noodle base, which determine the taste of the ramen, must be prepared.

The base of this double ramen soup.

‘Is it red pepper powder?’

Of course, there are other seasonings that go into it, but the representative base of ramen soup is red pepper powder.

And peppers were not hard to obtain in this world either. They were popular for ornamental purposes rather than for eating.

However, I decided to add one more ingredient here.

It’s ‘Msg’.

MSG was the key flavor ingredient that could not be missing from processed foods.

It’s not just processed foods. In the previous world, it would not be an exaggeration to say that MSG was included in almost all foods.

One food researcher even commented on MSG:

─It seems simple to make it taste good, but it is quite a difficult task. Sweetness, saltiness, and sourness must be appropriately balanced to make it taste ‘delicious’, but this is not easy. However, if you add a little MSG, a wonderful taste will magically appear.

It could be called magic because anything becomes delicious just by sprinkling it.

That’s why I also tried to make a Msg.

I thought that Aria’s sensitive taste buds could embody Msg.

The result was a failure.

‘I’m sorry, senpai. I don’t know what it tastes like.’

This was because I couldn’t specifically tell what flavor the MSG mixed into Pringles was.

I was in a difficult situation, but I didn’t care.

Just then, a way to find out what it tastes like occurred to me.

“It’s the sugarcane you mentioned.”

“Thank you always, Count.”

“Haha, I should be the one thanking you. If there’s anything you need, just let me know. I’ll get you whatever you want, Wizard.”

What Count Trion brought was sugarcane, the raw material for ‘sugar’.

Since sugar existed in this world, sugarcane, which is its base, could also be obtained.

However, since sugarcane was a state-managed item, if I had tried to obtain sugarcane on my own, the process would have taken a long time.

Count Trion is also involved in the sugarcane business, so as soon as he heard my story, he immediately went to buy some sugarcane and brought it to me.

“Even for a count like you, it would have been difficult to bring sugarcane without a reason, but you brought it quickly.”

“The military cooperated because it was the wizard’s work.”

“…thank god.”

The military treated me strangely well.

Even though he said he made canned food for me, I thought, ‘He even did this?’

Anyway.

‘Sugarcane, this one is all I need.’

Sugarcane is the raw material for sugar, but it is also the representative raw material for MSG.

Sugarcane was an essential ingredient in processed foods.

Of course, extracting MSG from sugarcane is another matter… … .

‘It’ll work out.’

I saw it on some broadcast in my past life.

It was a program where a master with a great sense of taste would come out and wear a blindfold to guess the taste of food.

The master was able to accurately discern the taste and contents of food even while wearing a blindfold.

In his previous life, there were many people with similar abilities.

People with a keen sense of taste who can discern the ingredients and flavor of something after just one bite.

The world praised it as the ‘tongue of God’ or ‘ absolute taste ‘.

Aria was the person who came closest to absolute taste that I had ever encountered in this world.

‘Because he’s the type of kid who can guess the contents of a cola just by tasting it.’

Aria would definitely be able to find the taste of MSG in sugar cane.

I went to find Aria with the sugar cane I received from Count Trion.

“Is this how you know what that ‘savory’ is?”

“If you can feel it.”

“…I’ll try.”

Aria accepted the sugar cane without a word. It seems her pride was hurt by her previous failure.

Because Aria was the type of person who had to see something through to the end once she started it.

*

Aria, who received the sugar cane, did not leave her room from that day on.

He ate his meals in his room, slept face down, and spent his days eating sugarcane.

Do that for a week.

“How are you, how are things going?”

“Ha, I don’t know. I think I know, but… … , it’s difficult.”

Aria, covering her forehead, shook her head.

It seemed like he was stressed out from a problem that wasn’t easily solved.

Of course, Aria, who never gives up, seemed to be focusing on the sugar cane again.

But just concentrating doesn’t mean that things that weren’t possible before will suddenly be solved.

I knew that best, having previously made many imaginations into reality.

“Just thinking about it won’t bring it out. You have to let it out for something to come out.”

“What does that mean?”

“It doesn’t have to be perfect from the start.”

“?”

“Follow me.”

The place I took Aria was the underground storage room of the Magic Tower.

The warehouse, which was about ten square meters in size, was filled entirely with transparent crystals.

It wasn’t a normal crystal, but a ‘magic stone’ filled with magical power. And it was a high-quality magic stone at that.

These were the things I had bought by pouring all the money I had earned from processed foods.

‘Even if it fails, I have to at least try to make it.’

Aria’s weakness was that she tried to make everything ‘perfect’.

This personality also stems from the fact that I can infer the taste of MSG solely in my head without using a magic stone.

Aria was about to use the magic stone only after she had perfectly recalled the taste.

But imagination was not something that could be expressed perfectly from the beginning.

It may be vague or strange.

But if you keep it only in your head, it will just continue to be vague.

You have to fall down and break your nose to get the right results.

therefore.

“Just write it. Make it as much as you want, even if it fails.”

“… Are you telling me to just use these expensive magic stones?”

“There’s no use in saving it. You have to spend it to get something out of it.”

“What if I use up all of this and can’t make it? This is your property.”

“Then it’s like starting over from scratch.”

It was a waste of money, but it was worth it once I earned it again. However, processed foods cannot be made without MSG.

Above all, I was confident that Aria would be able to implement MSG.

Because I’ve already seen many people in my past life who can tell the difference between MSG and other things.

If Aria was better than them, she wasn’t any less excellent.

Of course, he’s the kind of kid who can even tell the difference between the contents of a cola or a Pringles.

If there was anything Aria lacked, it was ‘experience’.

If that’s the case, then just let him gain that experience. That’s why I brought him here.

“Don’t worry about the money, just make it.”

“… Sometimes when I see you, senior, I think you’re crazy about processed foods.”

“Maybe so.”

From the perspective of someone from another world who has never lived in the modern world, my actions of pouring my fortune into making processed foods would seem like madness.

but.

“But it’s better than eating something that tastes bad, right?”

“That’s true.”

Aria eventually agreed.

The food in this world wasn’t that tasty.

*

In conclusion, Aria succeeded in implementing MSG.

And in the process, half of the magic stones that had been piled up underground evaporated.

“I told you to write as much as you want, and you really did write it all down.”

“My senior told me to do that.”

“good job.”

I’d rather use it diligently and get good results than do it half-assedly.

Aria asked in an expectant voice.

“So what do you think?”

“it’s okay.”

A satisfied smile appeared on my lips.

“Perfect.”

Fine white powder pours down along the fingers.

Magic white powder.

It was the food additive MSG .

Now that the base was ready, it was time to start making the ‘ramen’ in earnest.
