I Became a Food Developer in Another World - Chapter 44

‘Candy’ also existed in this world.

But the candy in this world had a very different meaning than in my previous life.

“If you make a food with medicine, I wonder if you’ll end up making a drink with holy water.”

‘… …That’s right.’

Since alcohol is holy water, wouldn’t it be possible to distill liquor from holy water?

I haven’t tried it yet, though, for fear of being accused of blasphemy.

anyway.

As Aria exclaimed, the perception of candy in this world was not as ‘sweet food’ but as ‘medicine’.

Its main use was as a remedy for colds and chills, but doctors in this world used candy to mask the unpleasant taste of the medicine.

Candy was a ‘medicine’ that had its outer surface coated with sugar to remove the bitter taste.

Or, the perception of candy among the people of this world was that it was just a ‘digestive aid’ to be taken after a meal.

Before large-scale sugarcane cultivation using elves became common, candy was not common.

I took advantage of this perception of candy as a ‘medicine’ and created Seankist candies.

Vitamin C, which can cure scurvy, can be obtained from fruits such as lemons and limes, and one of the cheapest and easiest ways to supplement the juice of those fruits was through ‘candy’.

“Thank you very much, Wizard.”

“No, I am grateful. Thanks to you, I can now make candy easily.”

“Haha! This is something simple that anyone can do.”

The big man laughed cheerfully.

He was Arsene Luol, the head of the Luol Sangdan, a confectionery specialty store.

Luol Sangdan was also the first Sangdan in the world to start treating candy as a ‘luxury food’.

The company that makes these Sunkist candies has decided to take charge of manufacturing them.

“If it weren’t for you, Yuri, my brother would have died of scurvy.”

“I’m just glad that you’re safe.”

Arsene almost lost his younger brother, who lived by the sea, to ‘scurvy’.

That’s why when I was offered to produce SeanKist candy, he readily accepted without any conditions.

“By the way, candy with juice locked in it? That’s a really amazing idea.”

“Candies contain medicinal ingredients, right? I thought about how fruit can cure scurvy, so I thought, why not put fruit in candy?”

“Oh, that’s really amazing.”

“… … .”

The special thing about SeanKist candy is that when you chew it, the candy breaks apart and the sweet ‘juice’ inside bursts out.

Candy containing fruit. Namely, ‘fruit candy’.

But in this world, there is sugar candy, but no fruit candy.

Since you can just pick the fruit and eat it, it never occurred to me to put it in candy.

Moreover, it was common knowledge that candy contained medicinal herbs.

‘Fruit candy’, which contained fruit instead of herbs, was a groundbreaking product by other world standards.

“Then please do so.”

“Please leave it to me.”

Arsene nodded confidently.

Luol was a top company with candy manufacturing facilities.

With the support of ‘citric acid’, which is used in modern candy manufacturing, Luol quickly began mass production of Sean Kist candy.

And the candies produced in this way were introduced straight to the ‘ship owners’ who had ships.

“What? Ten coppers?”

“You’re saying that 10 coppers can cure scurvy?”

The reaction was explosive.

That’s understandable, since the price of ‘lime’, which was previously known to be able to cure scurvy, was 70 copper.

Even then, when the merchants found out that limes were selling well, they banded together and raised the price of limes, causing the price to jump to 1 silver (100 copper).

So while limes cost 1 silver each, Seankist candies cost only 10 coppers each.

A difference of as much as 10 times.

It was obvious that the candy containing the juice was cheaper than the fruit, but even taking that into account, the difference was significant.

“The medicine is better than the fruit.”

“Who would be crazy enough to buy a lime for a silver dollar?”

“Hey, you thieves.”

The profiteering of lime dealers has created this price difference.

“Just give me 20 bags of Sean Kist!”

“We will purchase from you every month, so please sign a contract!”

It goes without saying that ship owners cheered the overwhelming cost-effectiveness of Sean Kist Candy.

So the ship owners bought up tons of Seankist candy, which was then distributed to sailors suffering from scurvy.

“It’s candy!”

“What? You said there was an orange in it?”

“There’s also one with lemon in it!”

The sailors’ eyes widened at the appearance of a fruit-infused candy that was said to be a cure for scurvy.

And then I was surprised again by the taste of the candy I tasted.

“What, what is this?! It’s really bursting with juice?”

“Oh, it’s sweet. It’s sweet.”

The sailors’ faces lit up as the sweet juice burst out as the candy broke.

“One pill a day like this? Isn’t that something you’re trying to eat all by yourself?”

“Oh, I want to eat just one more.”

“If we run out of candy and get scurvy, are you guys going to be responsible?”

“Ugh, that won’t work.”

The sweetness of the candy naturally made the sailors want to continue eating it, but the fear of scurvy was far greater, so the sailors had to temper their disappointment.

Candy was a medicine to treat scurvy, not a snack.

After a month, it was proven in many places that the Seankist candy really did work in treating scurvy.

“Oh, my mind is really clearing up?”

“Uh, I feel a little better.”

As rumors spread that Seankist candy was effective against scurvy, candy began to circulate among sailors.

However, the Sean Kist candy was only a supplementary means and did not replace the lime.

Because sweet candy was thirsty and moisture was a valuable resource on long voyages.

That’s why lime dealers still kept the price of lime at 1 silver even with the advent of the Seankist candy.

“Please don’t buy it, it will sell well even if you don’t buy it.”

“I guess you don’t even know that Lime is a regular member of the Navy.”

Lime dealers laughed at the ship owners who haggled over prices.

And then an incident occurred that shocked the lime dealers who had been enjoying themselves so leisurely.

【… … Luol Top, Juice Juice Drink Delmont Cold Released!】

“What!? A juice drink?”

“What an obvious lie… …!”

The merchants did not trust Delmont, accusing him of exaggeration.

That’s because fruits are easily perishable and cannot be preserved for a long time.

This was also the case with fruit juice, so fruit drinks were a product that could not be distributed.

However, Delmont was still fine three days after its release and even a week later.

It maintained its juice form without any deterioration.

This was due to the ‘low-temperature pasteurization’ that was also applied to ‘Guinness’, but merchants who were not aware of this could not help but be perplexed.

and.

“I’ll lower the price of limes to 50 coppers!”

“Really? Let me give it to you.”

“Here it is.”

Paaaaak!

“Ahhhh!”

“Don’t buy it! I’m not buying it!”

“1 silver is half price? Do you want to get cut in half too?!”

“Stop it…!”

Merchants had to suffer the humiliation of running away while being hit with limes thrown by ship owners.

It was the moment when the culture of throwing fruit at those who had done wrong became established in the empire.

The biggest criterion that differentiates processed foods from other worlds and modern ones is ‘sterilization.’

Most drinks can be stored for a long time without spoiling if heated over low heat for about 20 minutes.

It’s a very simple piece of knowledge, but the difference between knowing and not knowing sterilization is huge, and this leads to profit creation.

Although the price of fruit was generally high, the supply of raw materials was not difficult.

“I will buy from here to here.”

“… … All of that?”

“Yes. I would like to purchase regularly, but is it difficult?”

“Yes, it is possible.”

“I look forward to working with you in the future.”

The plan was to buy up all the fruits from the farms listed above and turn them all into drinks.

The unit price of the fruit was expensive, but when it was made into a drink and sold, the company actually made a profit.

It was only a matter of time before the scurvy that had been terrorizing sailors would disappear.

Thinking about scurvy like that, something suddenly occurred to me.

“Lord Dorian.”

“Something.”

Dorian, who had been sitting at the table and carefully examining the factory blueprints, looked up.

“Didn’t you say you went to the East?”

“That’s right.”

“But how come you are healthy and do not get scurvy?”

Dorian and the other dwarves always went on long voyages.

It was also because of their admiration for the dwarves that humans became obsessed with exploring.

However, dwarves did not suffer from scurvy like humans, perhaps because their body structure was different.

So, I asked if they were carrying any special ingredients… … .

“You’re not loading food?”

“That’s right. I would carry them, but they would rot quickly. So I hunted and ate sea monsters as I went. The sea is a paradise of food.”

“… … .”

Who called the dwarves the people of the earth?

*

It took three months for the ‘Can Factory’ to be established.

It was a fairly large production plant, spanning a thousand pyeong.

There was no doubt about its performance as it was designed by Dorian himself, but it seemed like it would take time for it to function properly.

While we were waiting for the factory to be completed, winter arrived.

This year’s winter was particularly cold, and with the weather being cold, cola sales naturally plummeted.

And I knew very well how the Coca-Cola Company of my past life had overcome this crisis.

“Leah.”

“why?”

“Let’s shoot a commercial.”

“What kind of advertisement is this?”

“white bear.”
