I Became a Food Developer in Another World - Chapter 42

“Chicken, pizza, and hamburger? Are you the devil?”
Luciela said in a bewildered voice.
“If this continues, the people of the empire… …!”
“So you don’t like it?”
“Well, of course I don’t hate it…!”
Luciela struggled for the health of the people of the empire, but her resistance was in vain.
“In order for the princess to taste various kinds of pizza, there must be many kinds of ‘cheese.’ The popularization of pizza will advance the development of cheese.”
In reality, the empire’s cheese technology was monopolized by monasteries, so the manufacturing method and aging technology were at a very low level.
The reality of the empire was that it depended on dwarves who possessed high-altitude cheese technology for cheese.
“The Empire will move beyond relying on the dwarves for cheese and become its own cheese-developing nation. Pizza will be the foundation for that ‘cheese superpower.’”
“ah…!”
Luciela let out a shallow exclamation, entranced by the words ‘cheese powerhouse’.
Her eyes were shaking violently like a sailboat in a storm.
“Ha, but still, the health of the imperial people-”
“We have Zero Coke in our empire. We plan to launch various Zero drinks in the future.”
“!”
“If zero-calorie drinks can lower the obesity rate, mint toothpaste will protect the gum health of the empire’s citizens.”
“… … .”
Looking at the silent Luciela, I thought that this was not enough and added more.
“By collaborating with the Ministry of Magic, we may be able to create various tools such as mouthwashes, dental floss, and tongue cleaners.”
“Isn’t there any mint chocolate toothpaste?”
“… … Ah, if Your Highness wishes, I will discuss it with the Golden Tower.”
“great.”
Luciela, smiling brightly, rolled up the cheese from the Chicago pizza with her fork and ate it.
“By the way, this cheese is really delicious. I think it would go well with fruit, too.”
He was so lively and cheerful that it made one wonder when he ever cared about the health of the people of the empire.
‘No, was the mint chocolate toothpaste the original purpose?’
I felt cheated, but it wasn’t a deal where I lost money.
If the 1st Princess and the gourmet she supports push the ‘Chicken Pizza Hamburger’, the White Tower’s finances will become even stronger.
‘Cola sales will also increase.’
The increase in sales will allow us to develop a wider variety of processed foods.
Additional funding was essential to secure resources and build future factories.
It wouldn’t be a loss if we developed at least one mint chocolate toothpaste that Luciela wanted.
If the princess wanted to diversify the cheese through pizza, I wanted to increase the sales of ‘Cola’.
It was a deal where both parties’ understanding matched.
Of course, there were other reasons besides these calculations to push chicken, pizza, and hamburgers into the ‘three major delicacies’.
The things that were called ‘delicacies’ in the empire were extremely difficult to obtain, but when you actually tried them, opinions were so divided that you would naturally ask if they were really ‘delicacies’.
The status of a delicacy in the empire was similar to that of a ‘hong-eo’ in a previous life.
It was not a delicacy because it was difficult to obtain, but it was not a delicacy because its taste was excellent.
On the other hand, chicken, pizza, and hamburgers were easy foods for anyone to make and eat under imperial conditions.
There’s a reason they’re called the ‘Big Three Fast Foods’.
In order for processed foods to develop more rapidly in this world, it was necessary for these three fast food giants to take root in the empire.
Because fast food, which can be prepared quickly and easily, is the essence of processed food.
This was the purpose of selecting the ‘3 major delicacies’.
There may be some criticism asking if this is really a ‘delicacy’… … .
‘So what?’
If it tastes good, it’s a delicacy.
Jinmi, in fact, is nothing special.

Until recently, cheese was considered a luxury item due to limited supply.
As alchemy developed, cheese production increased, but the empire’s cheese consumption was still small.
But with the advent of pizza, its consumption began to increase rapidly.
“Look at this oily, stretchy thing.”
“Wow, this goes great with cola.”
The golden crust pizza, freshly baked in the oven, captured the attention of the imperial people.
The combination of crispy yet chewy dough, the deep flavor unique to lucon oil, salty cheese, and oily ham made me say, “This is it.”
“Indeed, it is one of the three great delicacies!”
“This is a delicacy!”
Chicken, pizza, hamburgers.
The ‘Three Great Delicacies of the Empire’ newly introduced by Gourmet was enough to gain the sympathy of the people of the empire.
“Then what about mint chocolate…?”
“Hey, stop talking about that mint chocolate. Do you want to get chopped off by a dwarf with an axe?”
“Do you remember the friend who went to preach to the elf about the taste of mint chocolate? I heard he’s lying in a nursing home now.”
There were quite a few dwarves and elves living in the empire.
I had to refrain from eating mint chocolate, at least in front of them.
It may be a minor preference for humans, but for the two species, it was a menu that brought about a life-or-death decision.
This controversy over mint chocolate has led to questions about ‘gourmet’.
“Honestly, gourmet doesn’t necessarily mean the three major delicacies.”
“It was strange that dessert was considered a delicacy.”
The imperial people have long known that the criteria for selecting gourmet foods have no popularity.
Because gourmet food was biased towards foods that only the upper class could enjoy.
Because of this, gourmet food has often been criticized in the past as being ‘their own food’.
When that became a hot topic because of Mint Choco, the people of the empire reacted as if they were going to burst.
“Well, I’ve never even eaten caviar or anything.”
“You have to try it at least to feel empathy.”
And because of this incident, Gourmet posted an apology and announced that it would include ‘popularity’ in its selection criteria.
The newly announced gourmet foods of the year were ‘Chicken, Pizza, and Hamburger.’
“Does this seem right?”
“Hmm, I can’t argue with that.”
“The world is finally turning right.”
The imperial people nodded their heads in agreement with the food selection that was difficult to refute.
It would be hard to find someone, whether human, elf, or dwarf, who disliked those three foods.
and.
“Wait a minute, all three of those were developed by the White Tower.”
“What? This time too…!”
The words, “As expected,” came out of the mouths of the imperial people.

“Cola sales have tripled.”
“Oh really? Then now I can make ‘cans’ too.”
“If sales continue like this.”
I nodded at Aria’s words.
‘Can.’
That is, canned food was currently only used by the military.
Although alchemy in this world was particularly advanced, extracting aluminum from minerals was a very expensive process.
It was very difficult for a single company, not the military, to bear that cost.
That’s why even at Baekmatop, processed foods using cans were not being made.
Of course, in addition to the cost aspect, there was also the problem that canned food was a military secret.
‘You’re treating the cans like cartridges… … .’
In order to prevent the leak of canned food technology, the military managed it like a ‘bullet casing’, just like the Korean military in its previous life.
The Imperial Army was so serious about keeping the cans safe that if even one empty can went missing, the entire unit would spend the night searching for it.
But that doesn’t mean we can stop canned food from spreading forever.
The armies of various countries, who were suspicious of the Confederate army’s successive victories against the barbarians, already knew of the existence of the tin can.
It was only a matter of time before cans spread throughout the world.
Marquis Hughes, who was appointed Commander of the Central Command, also knew this and so he recently authorized the production of ‘cans’ of the White Tower.
Of course, since the permission was limited to the domestic market, manufacturing in Yuren was not possible.
‘I want to do it but I can’t.’
Although permission was granted to manufacture cans, there were still cost issues.
So, it was impossible to produce all types of drinks in cans right away.
I was thinking of gradually expanding the range, starting with cola.
“First, we need to secure technicians.”
“Would you like to cooperate with the Golden Tower?”
“It will be difficult.”
I shook my head at Aria’s words.
The alchemists of the Golden Tower didn’t try to do anything unless it was interesting.
Even if there were people who said they would do it, making cans was not a task that could be accomplished by one or two people.
“I guess I should put out a recruitment notice.”
“Yeah, treat me well… ”
─Yuri! Is Yuri inside!
─Dorian, you shouldn’t do this on the rooftop!
At that moment, an excited voice was heard from outside, and a dwarf with a red face came in.
“You were here!”
“It’s been a while, Dorian.”
The dwarf that appeared was Dorian Foster, the dwarf who had helped remodel the magic tower.
“Are you really the one who invented this horrible food?”
“… … .”
In Dorian’s rough hands was a crushed ‘Mint Choco Chocolate’.
“I held out until the oral cavity was rebuilt, but this is just too much-”
“Dorian, first, drink some beer and calm down.”
Aria, who caught my eye, quickly went outside and came back with a bottle of Guinness.
“Khuh, it tastes a little different. What is this?”
“It’s a type of beer called Draft that is released in the Empire.”
I waited for Dorian to calm down while drinking his beer and denied any connection to Mint Chocolate.
“I’m sorry about the mint chocolate, but I don’t know anything about it.”
I’ve heard that our magicians at Magic Tower have released a few mint chocolate related products, but I’ve never been involved in them.
Therefore, that chocolate had nothing to do with me.
“… Are you really saying that’s not true? I heard from humans that you participated in the development of mint chocolate.”
“I don’t know why it’s known like that, but if you check it out, you’ll see that it’s not true.”
After saying that, I naturally changed the subject.
“By the way, your skin is very tanned.”
“Do you see it?”
“Yes, I think you look more manly now that your skin has turned copper.”
“Haha! That’s right, I’m carrying beer these days!”
Dorian smiled broadly at the compliment that he had become more manly and began to tell stories of the past.
Dorian is said to have recently begun the second act of his life by becoming one of the leaders of a Viking expedition.
For some reason, he was wearing a pair of ominous axes on his back that I couldn’t see before… … .
Anyway, he talked about the East he had visited recently.
“Is it an Eastern language?”
“That’s right, don’t be surprised! It was I who brought the chocolate from there!”
“… … .”
Then doesn’t half of the shares in Mint Choco’s development belong to Dorian?
For a moment, I thought that it was Dorian who had brought the culprit in from overseas, but I made the mistake of not saying that out loud.
Instead, he made a suggestion to Dorian, who was drinking Guinness and telling adventure stories.
“Lord Dorian.”
“What?”
“Wouldn’t you like to try that beer in a can?”
“Can?”
“Yes, if you work at our factory, you can drink as much beer as you want.”
Would you like to work in a beer canning factory?
My salary is in beer.

While I was negotiating with Dorian for beer, another incident was brewing outside.
“I will discover a new world and come back!”
“Let’s find the New World!”
“Wow!”
With the advent of the Vikings, a trend spread throughout the other world.
It’s called ‘long distance sailing’.
Ships that had previously stayed only on nearby coasts began to leave the land and go out to sea.
People set out in search of the romance of the New World, and maritime trade flourished.
At that time, the other world was in the midst of a ‘great voyage fever’.
And along with that came side effects.
“Eek!”
“Hey, it’s a ghost ship… …!”
The sailors are shocked and run away when they see a boat full of dead people washing up in the sea.
It was the emergence of ‘ scurvy ‘.
