I Became a Food Developer in Another World - Chapter 65



Only Ran(o)vel dot com

Vampires are inhabitants of the Abyss, a world of night where the sun never shines.

‘Lilith Valentia’ was the ‘Jinjo’, the most noble of births in the Abyss.

The noble ancestor, Lilith, settled in the empire with the grand ambition of establishing a night kingdom on the continent.

But contrary to her ambitions, the walls of human society were high and high.

“Release! Bring two bottles of wine to table 15!”

“yes-!”

At the call of the sassy woman, the daughter of the tavern owner, Liris quickly ran and brought out some wine.

‘Ugh, how did I end up like this… …!’

As she served the wine, Lilith sighed at her own miserable situation.

Until she first appeared in human society, Lilith had grand ambitions of increasing the number of vampires by sharing her blood with those who followed her and establishing the Kingdom of the Night.

However, in human society, there was a great evil called the ‘church’.

Even though I legally paid money and traded blood, I was cursed at and when I donated blood out of pity, they chased me away, saying that my blood was stolen.

A dying man agreed to become a vampire and give his blood to live, but the church came after him like a sledgehammer.

‘Over there! Over there, there’s an evil vampire escaping!’

‘Catch him!’

The people in the church tormented Lilith terribly.

‘Sigh, sob.’

The one who took in Liris, who was being persecuted by the priests and crying alone in the alley, was Bianca, the daughter of the tavern owner where Liris was currently working.

‘Why are you crying here?’

‘Sigh, sob. I, I have nowhere to go… … ‘

‘Are you lost?’

Dori dori.

‘There’s no place to return to?’

Nod nod.

‘Um, then why don’t you work at the bar? My father is sick right now and we’re short on help.’

Lilith took the warm hand that was extended to her for the first time.

It’s been half a year since she became a bar employee. Liris still hasn’t forgotten her dream.

‘We’re going to take control of this tavern!’

Liris’ plan was to take over Bianca’s tavern and gradually expand her power based on it.

Then, let’s start with the presumptuous woman who keeps patting herself on without even knowing her age…

“Our Liris, you worked hard today. Was it hard?”

“Huh, this is nothing special.”

“Haha, that’s right. It was my sister’s fault. To our Liris, this isn’t a big deal.”

Lilith’s shoulders rose as Bianca’s hand stroked her head.

Liris is 238 years old.

Bianca was 19 years old.

At least until this point, Liris had been thinking that it wouldn’t be a bad idea to continue living with Bianca like this.

Until Prohibition came and the saloons went out of business.

*

“Hey, you damn dwarves!”

Due to the prohibition law declared by the lord, the tavern run by Bianca’s father was no longer able to sell alcohol.

‘Release, I’m sorry. You don’t have to come out starting tomorrow.’

Liris, who suddenly became unemployed, jumped into the smuggling business with the vampires she had recruited from the taverns.

This brought tremendous success to Liris.

Vampires, the inhabitants of the night, were a species specialized in hiding, so they had the ability to distribute bootleg alcohol while avoiding the surveillance of the guards.

With the Prohibition, Liris grew by leaps and bounds and expanded its distribution network.

If things continued like this, it seemed like the night country that Lilith dreamed of would not be a problem.

But that ambition was short-lived, as a ridiculous fraudulent race called the ‘Dwarves’ entered the smuggling business, causing disruption to Liris’ business.

At first, they only brewed alcohol, but with the help of the Vikings, they started to even smuggle it by ship.

Thanks to this, Lilith and her men, who had been put on emergency alert, were now having an emergency meeting at the ‘hideout’.

“Are you friends?”

“They are the luggage.”

“Haha, okay. Let’s drink and chat.”

Bianca distributed glasses of grape juice on Lilith’s table.

The glass had the name ‘ Welch’s ‘ written on it.

Bianca’s tavern, which was on the verge of bankruptcy due to its inability to sell alcohol, signed a contract with Welch’s and changed its business to selling grape juice.

Welch’s, headquartered in Baekmatop, opened a new way of life for those pubs that were on the verge of collapse.

Lilith’s ‘hideout’ was none other than Bianca’s juice shop.

“Why aren’t you giving me grape juice?”

“No. Even if it’s non-alcoholic, alcohol is still alcohol. It’s still too early for Lilith to drink.”

Grape juice, which had only recently been on the market, was not recommended for children because it was perceived as a “non-alcoholic wine.”

Lilith was dissatisfied with Bianca treating her like a child, but that thought disappeared the moment she saw the glass filled with white milk.

Lilith gulped down the milk without hesitation.

It took only a moment for the glass to be emptied.

Lilith’s face relaxed with satisfaction.

“The milk is better today.”

“Haha, I’m glad you seem satisfied.”

Bianca, who had been smiling brightly, left her seat when she was called from another table.

“… That, force? Have a nice conversation. Don’t get too involved.”

As soon as Bianca left, Lilith and her men began to talk business in earnest.

“The port was taken by the Vikings.”

“It’s the same in Liden. Half of our guests were taken away by the dwarves.”

There were guests around, but the vampires spoke without hesitation.

Bianca didn’t know why her juice shop was doing so well, but most of the customers who came here were those who came to buy Liris’s moonshine.

“Hmm.”

Lilith sipped the milk that Bianca had refilled for her, lost in thought.

The city guards where Lilith lived were notorious for their incompetence and were unable to control the dwarves.

Thanks to this, Liris was able to easily bring in bootleg alcohol, but it was true that she was being pushed back by the dwarves.

The dwarves who had connections with the White Tower brought in Fairy Coke and Cognac cheaply.

In addition, since they brewed their own alcohol, they could not compete with the dwarves in terms of price competitiveness.

Liris felt that there were limits to just distributing smuggled liquor.

Because we also had to prepare for the post-Prohibition era.

It was at this time that the vampires were looking for new ways to expand their business.

“The answer is milk.”

“…yes?”

The subordinates’ faces were filled with questions at the answer from Lilith. However, Lilith’s expression was serious.

“You have to deal with the products that everyone wants every day. Alcohol is not. Most nobles, unless they are alcoholics, only buy a bottle or two of brandy when they have a party. For the commoners, a brick of grapes is all they need for the week.”

Lilith was in the bootlegging business and had a keen insight into the patterns of human alcohol consumption.

“But milk is different. When the whole family gathers at the table, milk is always on the table. If there are children in the household, milk is a must.”

No matter how high the consumption of alcohol was, it could not compete with the milk consumed every day.

Above all, milk was the most important thing for a vampire to survive.

Because milk is an extract of only the good parts of blood.

“Church people are really strange. Milk is also a type of blood, but they criticize people for drinking blood, but are tolerant of drinking milk.”

Milk was an item that vampires had to secure in order to take root in human society in the future.

Moonshining was a bad choice.

“Seriously, we’re in the wrong business.”

Lilith licked the milk off the corner of her mouth and concluded.

Decided to change occupation to dairy farming.

*

Contrary to Liris’ expectations, her foray into the dairy industry was not easy from the start.

“Why don’t you throw away spoiled milk?”

“Haha, slightly spoiled milk is better. Doesn’t alcohol taste better when fermented? Milk is the same. It’s a fermented food.”

This was the answer from the employee who delivered milk to Bianca’s store.

It was suspicious that the milk often spoiled, and when Liris found out the truth later, she was furious.

“Oh, how can you deliver milk like this!”

“Lee, Liris, calm down!”

“Eek!”

If Bianca hadn’t stopped him, the delivery man’s head would have been cut off on the spot.

Because if I delivered blood like this from the Abyss, I would have nothing to say even if I died.

However, unlike Lilith, who valued freshness, the Empire’s milk hygiene was a mess.

There was no way the milk would be okay since it was already perishable and had to be slowly delivered by handcart.

Since there was no refrigeration, the milk was prone to spoiling, and distributors mixed spoiled milk with flour and sold it.

“… Are all humans like this?”

The cultural shock Liris received from the empire’s distribution system, where spoiled milk was delivered like random boxes, was enormous.

Naturally, there was talk among the people of the Empire, but the Ministry of Magic officials who had been lobbied by the dairy cooperatives put forth absurd logic.

[Haha, slightly fermented milk is healthier than fresh milk.]

“Profit! Die!”

“Release! Calm down! That’s a crystal ball!”

In Liris’ mind, the dairy cooperative became a greater evil than the church.

What if people die from drinking spoiled milk?

“Get me some fresh milk right now!”

“Eek!”

This was the reason why Liris went to see the head of the dairy cooperative and threatened him.
