I Became a Food Developer in Another World - Chapter 68
Only Ran(o)vel dot com
“Is this okay?”
“Well done, Igor.”
Liris praised Whiston’s dairy cooperative president.
But the face of the union leader who was receiving praise looked 10 years older.
On the union leader’s table was an official document from the Ministry of Magic titled “Mandatory Distribution Period Requirements.”
It was the result of the dairy cooperative’s lobbying efforts with the Ministry of Magic.
As a result, the Guild Leader lost all of the connections he had built up with the Ministry of Magic over the past 30 years.
“All connections to the Ministry of Magic have been cut off.”
“Can’t we just connect it again?”
“Is there a problem?” Lilith blinked with an innocent face, not knowing anything.
The union leader’s head was spinning as he looked at this innocent vampire.
“You threatened the vice minister, so how can you expect me to continue?”
“Didn’t you say that money can buy everything?”
“Of course, money can do anything, but that would require more money.”
“More money?”
“That’s right. With money, you can buy everything: power, friends, and even enemies.”
“Even your enemies?”
“exactly.”
“Humans are truly peculiar.”
“That’s what it means to be a human being.”
Lilith learned that in human society, money can buy everything.
The person who told her that was the head of the dairy cooperative standing in front of Liris.
─Do you know who I’m close with?! I drink, eat, and party with the Deputy Minister of Magic!
The head of the dairy cooperative, who had been consistently donating ‘money’ to the Ministry of Magic for 30 years, was on friendly terms with the Under-Secretary of Magic, drinking, dining, and partying together.
Liris highly regarded the abilities of such a union leader.
─Ooooh, I understand. Okay, I’ll try, so please put that away!
The person who had the ability to make things that were impossible possible by feeding them spoiled milk was the head of the dairy cooperative.
Lilith, who came from the Abyss where the strong were the ‘law’, had a hard time understanding the human society where this fat human male with no magic power and a bulging belly belonged to the upper class, but she simply understood that ‘money’ was ‘strength’.
In that sense, this fat human male was a pretty strong person.
You can tell just by looking at the fact that this “legislation of distribution period” was accomplished.
Since it was a release with strict rewards and punishments, they even gave a reward to the union leader.
“Rejoice, Igor. It’s fresh milk straight from the tundra pastures. I milked it myself.”
“… … .”
The thick face of the union leader buried in the flesh was crumpled.
Although he had a free-spirited appearance that made it difficult to tell if he was happy or sad, Lilith concluded that he was happy.
Bianca was also very touched when Lilith brought her fresh milk and hugged her tightly.
Even people who formed a family would all smile when fresh milk appeared on the table.
Lilith felt secretly proud as she watched the humans drinking her milk and enjoying themselves.
Vampires and humans alike liked fresh milk.
“Please note that the expiration date is not a law that applies to the entire empire, but is only a pilot law in the East.”
“I guess you were short on money.”
“exactly.”
Liris decided to be satisfied, even though she felt regretful.
Because I was planning on making a lot of money from now on.
Liris looked down at the official document that read, “Law on Expiration Dates.”
*
It was not long after the introduction of low-temperature pasteurization that Liris began to think about expiration dates.
As dairy cooperatives began to seriously manage milk quality, fierce competition arose in the dairy industry.
Liris wanted to completely monopolize the milk, beating out these competing dairy farmers.
For Lilith, who dreams of a ‘revival’ of vampires, milk is the most important foundation.
While serving grape juice, I was wondering how I could monopolize the milk business.
“Release, I’m sorry, but can you finish work by yourself tonight?”
“What’s going on, Bianca?”
“I think the milk I drank during the day went a little bad. I don’t feel well.”
“How stupid!”
When Lilith learned that Bianca had been drinking spoiled milk and her health had deteriorated, she used her magic to heal her.
Then he started to press me, asking why I drank spoiled milk.
“The black tea tasted a little different today. I guess it went bad.”
I heard a story about someone who didn’t realize that the milk had gone bad because he drank it in black tea.
Bianca often mixed black tea with milk and added honey, sugar, and other spices to mask the taste of spoiled milk.
But Lilith couldn’t understand what Bianca was saying.
Because Lilith, a vampire, could tell the freshness of milk even if its taste was obscured.
It was such a natural thing for Lilith that she assumed it would be the same for humans.
But after hearing Bianca’s story, I realized that wasn’t the case.
Unlike vampires, humans cannot completely distinguish the freshness of milk.
I was curious as to why milk, which is said to be fermented in human terms, is separately labeled as fermented, and this is why… …
“This is it!”
“Release?”
What Lilith, who had been running around, brought back was a glass bottle with numbers written on it.
“How are you, Bianca?”
“How is it?”
“It’s expired! The milk is expired!”
The trigger that made Liris think about expiration dates was Bianca drinking spoiled milk.
*
Milk was produced in large quantities and its quality was difficult to control.
Because it was impossible to tell which was produced first and which was produced later, they were often mixed, and in the process, spoiled milk was created.
This wasn’t a problem for vampires since they could tell the freshness just by smell, but this wasn’t the case for humans.
In order to distinguish spoiled milk, it had to be labeled separately. However, the dairy industry, which deceptively sold spoiled milk as fermented milk, did not make an effort to distinguish it.
This was nonsense to Liris, who insisted on fresh milk.

Liris decided to write the production date on each milk to ensure quality control.
He mobilized the head of the dairy cooperative to lobby the Ministry of Magic for an expiration date, and requested the creation of a magical tool that could mass-print expiration dates on magic towers.
Even before the bill was passed, Liris, who had prepared the expiration date marking tool, began mass producing expired milk as soon as the expiration date was legislated.
However, dairy farmers in the East, who had not heard the news of the legislation for expiration dates, had no choice but to stop producing milk.
“An expiration date!”
“How can I display all of these one by one!”
While dairy farmers are worried about how to indicate expiration dates,
“This is Liris, the milkman. Please take good care of me.”
“This is Lilith Milk. Please take good care of it.”
Every weekend when the juice shop was closed, Liris would run around and promote her milk.
He was so enthusiastic that he looked like a candidate running for mayor.
Although the effect was minimal, the very idea of putting an expiration date on milk was well-received by the people of the empire.
“What is this number?”
“They say that the production date is written on the milk.”
“Oh, so you’re saying this was made yesterday? That’s interesting.”
People who were reluctant to consume fermented milk can now purchase milk with peace of mind thanks to the expiration date.
Liris Milk, the first company to introduce an expiration date, quickly began to dominate the eastern part of the empire, and Liris achieved its first profit since starting the milk business.
“It’s a bonus! A bonus!”
“Wow! Long live Liris!”
Lilith, who felt good about earning money, went around giving out generous bonuses to the vampires and humans under her command.
“Bianca, this is my thanks for letting me stay here.”
For the first time, I paid rent to my landlady Bianca, who fed me and gave me a place to stay for free.
“… … Oh my gosh, Lilith. How much is all this?”
Bianca opened the pouch Lilith had given her and gaped at the sight of the gold coins it contained.
Since Liris had just swept up the gold coins as they came into her possession, she didn’t know exactly how much was in the bag.
But seeing Bianca surprised made me feel good for no reason.
“Huh, it’s nothing, don’t worry about it”
Lilith turned her head away in embarrassment as she spoke, but she was unable to finish her words.
“Ugh, get off, get off!”
Bianca suddenly hugged Lilith.
“Thank you, Lilith. I’m so touched.”
“Soo, I can’t breathe, put this down… …!”
The flustered Liris struggled, but the more she did, the more Bianca hugged her tightly.
Lilith, who was released from Bianca late, gasped for breath.
“Don’t you think about reducing that unnecessarily high chest fat percentage?”
“Yeah, even if I lose weight, it doesn’t go away here.”
Bianca, who seemed to be wondering herself, looked at the bag of gold coins and asked.
“You didn’t earn that money by doing bad things, did you?”
“Hey, don’t worry. It’s money I earned legally.”
Lilith answered confidently.
Unlike bootlegging, milk was a legal business, so it was a release that had nothing to lose.
Even those damn dwarves couldn’t interfere with Lilith’s milk business.
Of course, there was still a tax to be paid on selling milk, but Liris was proud.
I learned that taxes are something you have to postpone and pay as long as possible.
Liris, who started out in the smuggling business, had little understanding of the concept of taxes in human society.

The popularity of ‘Release Milk’ created a milk craze in areas where prohibition was in effect.
Imperial citizens started their day with a glass of fresh milk, and along with it, White Tower’s ‘Snoopy Milk’ began to be distributed in earnest beyond the tower and into the market.
Until now, Snoopy’s milk was a beverage that was only consumed within the Blue Tower due to the poor quality of milk and the room temperature distribution system.
“This way, it will be easier to launch Milky Kiss.”
“Aria found the right person.”
“It was your senior who invested.”
“That’s true.”
It was Aria who introduced me to Lilith.
Of course, I was the one who decided to invest, but it was because I was surprised by the vampire’s ‘refrigeration magic’.
Because human magic was so wasteful of magic stones, even I was unable to attempt refrigerated distribution.
It was an investment decision made solely based on the refrigeration magic.
Because refrigerated distribution became possible, a wider variety of processed foods could be developed.
But Lilith has achieved results beyond my expectations.
It’s surprising that they even applied a refrigerated distribution system to it, but they even applied an expiration date to it.
I was secretly surprised because even I had not expected this.
This was a complete denial of the common knowledge about ‘fermented milk’ that had spread throughout human society.
And thanks to this release, it has become easier for me to make the next processed food.
The following processed foods are closely related to ‘milk’.
“I will buy all the grains.”
“Pah, all the unsold grain?”
“yes.”
I bought up all the grain from farmers who were unable to sell their grain and were just hoarding it as the brewers went out of business due to Prohibition.
They even went so far as to sign long-term contracts with farmers.
It wasn’t to save the failing farms.
Because grains were absolutely necessary for the next batch of processed foods.
“What are you trying to make?”
“A cookie you eat with milk.”
“Do you also have cookies that you can eat with milk?”
Lanya and Aria giggled.
For the two people who could only think of potato chips when it came to snacks, snacks mixed with milk were something new.
“So what is it?”
“cereals.”
The American breakfast cereal, invented by James Caleb Jackson and popularized by John Harvey Kellogg, was the next processed food I wanted to make.
