I Became a Food Developer in Another World - Chapter 57

“Senior! I heard that the Fairy Whiskey sold at Union has exceeded 50,000 bottles!”
“…already?”
I was secretly surprised by Aria’s words.
Union’s population is approaching 200,000. 50,000 bottles means that nearly half of them have tasted Fairy Whiskey.
Because one 750ml bottle is enough for two people to enjoy.
This happened just one month after its release.
“It was effective to increase the alcohol content. Union people like strong drinks.”
“Leah, it’s because you’re good at making alcohol that the results are good.”
“That’s obvious.”
A confident smile appeared on Aria’s face, as if to say, “What are you talking about?”
I only introduced you to whiskey, and it was Aria who created Fairy Whiskey based on it.
Aria’s purely made whiskey was causing a stir in her hometown of Union.
At the time of release, they were worried about whether it would sell well, but when the results turned out well, they seemed pleased.
“Me?”
Ayla chimes in as if asking for praise too.
“Ms. Ayla, you did a great job. Thanks to you, the quality of the whiskey is very good.”
A bright smile appears on Ayla’s face.
Just one word of praise made my ears perk up.
A snicker came out.
He is such a cute and easy to understand person.
By the way.
‘50,000 bottles, that’s a lot of sales.’
I nodded with satisfaction.
Since the weather was cold in the north, choosing a whiskey with a high alcohol content was the right choice.
People preferred high-proof whiskey to warm their body temperature.
This was no different for wizards, so Fairy Whiskey was ranked number one in liquor sales at Union.
This is only the current Union sales figures, but if you look at the entire North, sales would have doubled.
Fairy Whiskey, which had been on the market for only a month, was already catching up with wine.
‘Much faster than expected.’
This wasn’t just because the whiskey had a high alcohol content and tasted good.
Due to the ‘special nature’ of the grape harvest failing and the absence of wine, people began to look for a substitute, and Fairy Whiskey was chosen as that substitute.
In addition, since they actively promoted the fact that they used ‘Seongsu’, there were quite a few people who bought and tried the whiskey out of curiosity.
A significant portion of today’s whiskey sales are ‘bubbles’.
True sales figures could only be confirmed after the bubble burst.
Even taking that into account, it was a satisfactory result.
The whiskey produced by Aria boasted high quality.
No wonder not only the northerners but even the dwarves became intoxicated with fairy whiskey… … .
“How long are you going to leave them alone?”
“Well, well.”
“Well, what the heck? It’s been like that for three days already.”
Aria looked discontented as she looked at the storage room filled with oak barrels.
There, dwarves who had come to ‘tour’ the whiskey were hanging a tap from a huge oak barrel lying on its side, holding up beer glasses and sipping whiskey.
By the way, that faucet wasn’t there before the dwarves came.
“Khuh! It’s melting, it’s melting. It’s disappearing in my mouth.”
“If you all followed, get out of the way! It’s my turn.”
“Ugh… What are you talking about? I haven’t even had a drink yet.”
“You crazy bastard, this is your sixth glass, now!”
“Put that beer mug away before I chop it down with an axe, won’t you?!”
The faces of the dwarves surrounding the faucet and pouring beer glasses at each other were flushed red.
All around them were empty oak barrels rolling around.
Fairy Whiskey, as its name suggests, is a magical whiskey that melts in your mouth.
When it met the dwarves, it literally disappeared like magic.
Aria muttered in bewilderment at the sight.
“He came here to drink, not to take a tour.”
Aria’s dissatisfaction was understandable, as the dwarves who had visited the Seongsu factory under the pretext of a tour were throwing away oak barrels.
But I just smiled bitterly and didn’t say anything else.
Because dwarves were a race that benefited in many ways from maintaining good relations.
‘Honestly, it’s beneficial even if you do it that way.’
The dwarves who came every other day were enjoying unlimited whiskey under the pretext of a ‘factory tour’, but there was nothing to lose.
Because at the time, the dwarves were only receiving the raw grain for the price of the whiskey.
The grain produced by the dwarves was renowned for its excellent quality, so it was practically free.
Moreover, since all supplies to the North were transported by Vikings along their passing routes, there were no distribution costs.
Of course, it has become a routine to ‘tour’ the Seongsu whiskey factory while you’re at it and enjoy unlimited whiskey.
The whiskey that evaporates during maturation is called the ‘angels’ share’.
‘The angels’ share has disappeared, but the dwarves’ share has emerged.’
It was ironic, but that didn’t mean the dwarves just drank whiskey.
“How about replacing the oak barrel? The taste is still good, but the color has faded.”
“I think it would be fun to alternate between several oak barrels.”
“Sweet things are good, but isn’t there a drink that hits you hard at the end?”
The dwarves each shared their thoughts while drinking whiskey.
‘Tasting event.’
The dwarves, who had enjoyed drinking for hundreds of years, were each and every one of them renowned drinkers and experts. Their opinions were invaluable information.
“Senior, can I have a pen?”
Aria, who had become serious before she knew it, wrote down every single opinion the dwarves gave on paper, without missing a single detail.
Although she is stubborn, Aria’s strength is that she listens to everyone, no matter who they are.
“Sit down and do it.”
“thank you.”
When a chair was brought to her, she sat down without taking her eyes off the paper as she stood writing on the oak barrel.

In this way, dwarves were beings who could be of great help in many ways if you became friendly with them.
‘But that doesn’t mean I can just keep relying on you.’
We couldn’t rely on the dwarves for ‘barley’ forever.
It wasn’t like there was no way to secure barley on our own.
There were granary areas in the north where barley could be harvested.
The problem is that the barley harvest is being disrupted by the white bears that have recently begun to appear more frequently.
After hearing that story, I quietly suggested that we give some ‘cola’ to the white bears.
White Bears are easy to talk to, so if you give them a cola and talk to them, you’ll definitely get to talking.
Just looking at the Volleyball Tour may be scary, but it was the most gentlemanly bear I’ve ever seen.
I heard from Volitour that all white bears are as gentle as themselves. They don’t cause any harm if you don’t provoke them.
There are currently no known cases of white bears causing harm to humans.
The northerners, who took the simple curiosity of those who wandered about as a threat, abandoned their barley fields on their own.
‘I wonder what happened.’
It’s been two weeks since I advised you to give him cola, so the results should be out by now.

“Ha-kun, eat lots!”
“… Krrrr, oh, thank you.”
“Haha! This guy is now familiar with the common language!”
A tavern in the North. A huge white bear is crouching, drinking cola and whiskey.
Everyone in the tavern was watching the scene with pleased expressions.
A polar bear drinking whiskey mixed with cola and making a pleasant growl.
The bar owner, who was wiping the glass, smiled warmly and asked.
“Is it that delicious?”
“… Krrrr, Choi, Goda.”
“Haha, there’s a lot, so eat as much as you want.”
“Ha-kun! Take my cola too.”
“Here’s some whiskey!”
“… Krrrr.”
The customers inside the tavern freely served Hakun whiskey and cola.
It was a rare sight to see bears and humans enjoying drinks together.
It was two weeks ago that Haakun came to the human village.
─…I want to drink this bottle of beverage.
Haakun showed an empty bottle of whiskey and asked the villagers to give him some.
The villagers, who had never seen a polar bear before, all ran away when they saw Haakun, but Haakun did not give up.
While wandering around the town, Ha-kun visited a tavern, and the customers there, who happened to be watching a cola commercial, welcomed Ha-kun warmly.
─… Nose, it’s a cola bear!
─Crazy, this is real!
In this way, Ha-kun became a friend who enjoyed drinking whiskey with the villagers.
Instead of getting cola and whiskey to drink, Haakun helped the village a lot, such as carrying firewood and moving heavy stones.
No one hated Haakun because he would help as many men as ten men for just a glass of cola and whiskey.
Ha-kun had settled down well in the human village, but… … .
“You have to come back, Ha-kun!”
“I’ll be waiting!”
If there is a meeting, there is also a parting.
One month after Haakun settled in the human village, he set off on his way back to his hometown, the North Pole.
The townspeople thanked Ha-kun for everything he had done for them and gave him a huge box full of whiskey and cola as a gift.
“Krrr.. Thank you.”
Haakun returned to the North Pole with the box on his back, rejoicing.
“… … I’ll just stop by home and come back.”
Promising to be back soon.

… … The incident occurred one day about two months after I had been staying at Cheongtap.
The early morning hours when the sun is breaking.
Knock knock knock!
“Emergency! It’s an emergency!”
“Everyone come out!”
There was a loud ringing of a bell and the voices of anxious wizards, and then the door opened abruptly.
“Senior! We’re in big trouble! Come out quickly!”
“What is it? What’s going on?”
“There’s no time to explain! Just get dressed and come out!”
I got out of bed, wondering.
When I went out into the lobby, the wizards of the Blue Tower were standing there with tense expressions on their faces, holding their wands.
In front of him stood a small girl with a dragon’s horn, Mirtien, the Blue Tower Princess, with a serious expression on her face.
It’s as if they’re about to fight a battle.
‘What’s going on?’
The tense atmosphere made me lose sleep.
Amidst the tension, Mirtien opened his heavy mouth.
But the content was not simple.
“The enemies are coming to attack our tower.”
The enemy is coming to attack the Imperial Tower?
Is that possible?
At that moment, the faces of the magicians who were looking out the window turned pale.
“… Huh!”
“Wow, it’s here!”
“It’s all over, it’s all over.”
I looked out the window at the wizards, wondering.
And I was speechless.
Huge polar bears were swarming the tower from across the horizon.
“… … What is that?”
