I Became a Food Developer in Another World - Chapter 33



Only Ran(o)vel dot com

30 million gold is a huge sum of money.

While I was setting up processing food development facilities in Yuren, I started developing cider.

In the meantime, remodeling work on the rooftop was also carried out.

Considering the vast size of the White Pagoda, its remodeling was a major project that would take at least six months and up to a year.

Of course, this was the entire construction period, and a month was enough to decorate the exterior and repair only the floors that would become residential spaces.

And a month was like a day to a wizard.

Because once a wizard locks himself in a room, he is the type of person who rarely comes out.

These were people whose faces were hard to see as long as the food was delivered on time.

Even while the remodeling was in progress, the wizards of the White Tower continued their secluded life as usual.

“Is this the drink that was developed at the request of Yuren?”

“Yes, it’s called ‘Cider.’”

Ciel looked curious as he looked at the transparent cider.

The cider I made was from a company that got seven stars.

The world-famous cider is Coca-Cola’s Sprite, but I was more familiar with it.

“Ah, it’s sweet but has a really clean taste.”

“Yes, that’s what makes it different from cola.”

If cola is the representative carbonated beverage, cider is representative of a clean taste that everyone likes.

Cider, with its tangy carbonation and refreshing taste, is the beverage that best fits the term ‘refreshing drink’.

The expression ‘cider’ was even used to describe a refreshing situation that makes you feel refreshed.

Because it was such a basic drink, the method of making it was also simple.

‘All you need is citric acid.’

Cider is a sweet carbonated beverage with added citric acid and other flavors.

I heard that citric acid is extracted from lemons and citrus fruits, so it shouldn’t be difficult to develop. And it was.

“I’ll have to analyze the ingredients to find out more, but it doesn’t seem like it would be difficult to make.”

Ciel spoke as if he had read my thoughts.

“Of course, you need to know the ingredients that went into it.”

“Lemon will do.”

“Oh, that would be easy.”

“Please.”

After leaving the cider making to Ciel, I went to find the Magic Tower.

“Are you here?”

Lanya was waiting in her going-out attire, wearing a white robe.

“Are you ready?”

“Yeah, should we go?”

“yes.”

For the first time in a long time, I left the tower alone with Ranya.

Because we had to be busy for a while to set up a factory in Yuren.

… … Cat Dream Community Emont Branch.

“Branch Manager, I think you should come out, okay?”

Branch manager Cony, who was trimming his beard while looking in the mirror, tilted his head at the employee’s words.

“Did anyone come from the main branch, huh?”

“A VIP customer is here, huh?”

At the mention of VIP customers, Konya got up from her seat and started walking briskly.

Cat Dream Community was a real estate company of ‘Yuren’.

It was a real estate brokerage and mediation company, and its main customer base was the ‘Suin Tribe’ that had emerged into human society.

however.

“…human being?”

The customers sitting in the reception room were a human man and woman.

The two people were Lanya and Yuri, who had just left the White Tower.

Among them, Yuri opened her mouth.

“Is this a place where humans cannot come?”

“That’s not true, but it’s true that human customers are rare, right?”

Humans are a species that only associates with themselves, and they often look down on or ostracize the beasts.

That’s why it was safe to say that humans rarely visited the Cat Dream community.

But if they came, they were all the same customers, whether they were humans or beasts.

“Is there anything you’re looking for in particular?”

“It’s a workshop.”

‘Workshop!’

The corners of Konya’s mouth twitched.

The workshops run by wizards and alchemists were special places where ‘experiments’ were the main focus, so their prices were several times more expensive than regular buildings.

There were many conditions, such as the exterior walls had to be strong and there had to be good ventilation.

“Are there any workshops that are hard to find outside?”

“Of course there is, right?”

Konya opened a thick book containing a list of workshops.

“The place I recommend is the downhill in the east, huh?”

Downhill, a slum, was not a safe area, but was mostly visited by customers looking for a secret place.

“It’s a workshop with both ventilation and protective barriers, huh?”

Among them, Konya introduced a workshop that was pretty good.

“It’s a shame that the previous owner, a wizard, suffered an explosion during an experiment, but it’s a cheap item, huh?”

“Not bad.”

“That’s right.”

Lanya and Yuri nodded.

It was common for wizards to have accidents during their experiments.

Even in the White Tower alone, there are so many open rooms.

Compared to that, the workshop that Conia introduced was a state-of-the-art facility, even equipped with a magic barrier.

“How much does it cost?”

“Three million gold, huh?”

“Four, three hundred… …!”

When Ranya flinched, Konya laughed inwardly.

‘You’re a country bumpkin, huh?’

The basic price of a workshop starts at one million gold, and a large workshop equipped with the latest magic tools can cost up to ten million gold.

If they were surprised by three million gold, they were clearly country bumpkins who came without even properly checking the market price.

“Three million gold is also a ten percent discount, right?”

Of course, Konya had listed the price high, but the actual price of the workshop was just a little less than three million gold.

But real estate was originally a business that was meant to be enjoyed by everyone.

“Loan installment payments are possible, right?”

When Ranya showed hesitation, Konya pulled out the loan and installment card.

“… Hmm. It’s good, but I’d rather choose something else.”

“Then what about this thing, huh?”

After that, Konya introduced properties that had been sold at a steep price.

However, Ranya avoided all the traps like a ghost, while maintaining a half-hearted attitude.

‘… Are you doing this partly or not?’

Konya’s face became mysterious at Ranya’s attitude, which seemed easy but strangely difficult.

‘Our Lord of the Tower is not easy.’

Looking at the flustered Conia, I shook my head inwardly.

It’s because Lanya shows a weak attitude when it comes to money, but even so, she was one of the top ten magicians on the continent.

It was difficult for even a country to survive against such a wizard.

Because our Lord Matap was the type who never made a losing trade.

As I watched Conia sweating profusely, I chose a workshop from the booklet.

“Let’s do this.”

“…Will that work, huh?”

Konya’s eyes widened when she saw the workshop I had chosen.

“You’d better not choose this item, okay?”

Conia, who was trying to beat down the price, stopped me instead.

“The windless zone is a place where monsters appear, huh?”

The workshop I chose was located underground in a wilderness where monsters roam.

It was a workshop that was difficult to find from the outside, but it was equally dangerous to enter and exit.

The person who created this workshop may say that it has bad taste, but I actually like it.

‘Stock manufacturing should be done in places like this.’

There was no need to worry about the recipe leaking out since the finished stock was covered by Lagna’s lock magic, but the process of making the stock was a top secret that could never be discovered.

In the Empire, Lanya took care of all these matters, so I had no need to worry about them.

However, in Yuren, where there was no connection, he had to go out and find a workshop himself.

It might be possible to get help from the Yuren government, but that would run the risk of the location of the workshop being exposed.

‘It’s not like it’s particularly difficult to get in and out of the mouth.’

It was dangerous to travel to the no-wind zone, but once the ‘portal’ was installed, you didn’t have to go there yourself.

Above all, there was another reason why I came to the ‘Cat Dream Community’, which only uses the Suin Tribe.

“That beard… … !”

Conya’s eyes widened as he took out the beard he had received from Laura.

“Excuse me, Nya.”

Conia’s expression, which had been showing a businesslike attitude, changed in an instant.

“I’ll introduce you to a much better workshop than this dangerous place, okay? Of course, no fee is required.”

“No, this is enough.”

“But is it really okay to do this kind of work, you ask?”

“Yes, there is a way to get there.”

“… … Okay, I see. But it was my fault, so I’ll only charge a hundred thousand gold for this workshop.”

“Can I really just accept that?”

I was surprised by Conya’s words.

The only problem is its location, but the workshop itself has the best conditions of all the workshops I’ve been introduced to so far.

“Don’t worry, if he is the benefactor of the Miao people, he is also my benefactor, nya.”

The effect of the beard was amazing.

*

We postponed our actual inspection of the workshop and went to the ‘Golden Tower’, the home of alchemists.

We were supposed to be introduced to alchemists who would be working at the cola factory.

The one who greeted us was Charlotte, the citizen representative of Yuren.

“You came early. I guess you haven’t found the workshop yet?”

“No, I saved it.”

Charlotte, who had been secretly watching me, looked quite surprised when she heard that I had already found a workshop.

“By the way, may I introduce you to some alchemists?”

“… Ah, yes. Of course. Please follow me.”

Charlotte, having recovered from her shock, guided us to where the alchemists were waiting.

In a workshop cluttered with large and small beakers and glass tubes, a dozen or so alchemists were waiting for Ranya and me.

“They are the best alchemists in the industry.”

Even without Charlotte’s explanation, it was well known that the alchemists of the Golden Tower were excellent.

The important thing was whether they were tight-lipped enough to keep their words confidential, but that wasn’t a problem either.

“… Hmm, the ‘Book of Covenant’.”

“We need to prepare to this extent so that we can work together with confidence.”

The Book of Covenant.

A magic scroll that ensures that a contract is kept.

Of course, it wasn’t impossible to break it at will… … .

‘This can never be broken.’

Because the person who created this book of covenant was Ranya.

In order to break the scroll created by ‘Ragna’s’ magic, you must have magic power stronger than Ragna.

To put it simply, it just can’t be broken.

Of course, Yuren’s side would have already known this fact.

But the problem is.

“You said cola? It was certainly an interesting potion, but it was nothing more than a food item.”

An old alchemist with a wise air opened his mouth.

“Who are you?”

“I am Erestol, a first-class alchemist.”

I didn’t really know the criteria for dividing alchemists, but I could tell at a glance that Erestol was an excellent alchemist.

Because I was old.

Being older meant having more experience.

And Erestol, with his wealth of experience, was as arrogant as his peers.

“We have gathered here not to make a contract with the White Tower.”

“…Lord Erestol?”

Charlotte looked embarrassed, but Erestol continued his words.

“Just to show that cola alone can’t conquer the Golden Tower.”

Erestol lifted the round beaker from the table.

“We can make things like cola, too.”

Erestol proudly shook the cloudy liquid in the beaker.

I took the beaker that was held out to me as if to tell me to check it and drank from it.

“It will taste good.”

“Yes, it’s delicious.”

I admitted it readily.

The taste of a carbonated drink with milk added was quite good.

It was almost like it reminded me of a drink from my past life. Of course, it wasn’t as good as that.

furthermore.

“Would you like to try some of mine too?”

“?”

I dipped the colastock I had prepared into a nearby beaker of carbonated water, as Erestol looked puzzled.

Cheeeeeeeee─

As the stock was released and took on the color of cola, aspartame powder was added to make Coke Zero.

“It’s cola.”

Erestol tilted his head, tasting the Zero Coke with a puzzled look.

“The taste seems a little different, what’s the big deal?”

“This is a new zero cola that was just released at Bon Top.”

“zero?”

“There’s no sugar in it.”

“!”

Erestor’s eyes wavered.

The alchemists of Yuren haven’t heard any news about Zero Cola yet.
