I Became a Food Developer in Another World - Chapter 71



Only Ran(o)vel dot com

In the empire, ‘breakfast’ signified indulgence.

This is closely related to the empire’s beverage culture, as nobles preferred wine as their morning drink rather than poor-quality water.

As drinking began in the morning, meals became longer and more luxurious, and naturally breakfast came to be seen as a symbol of ‘vulgarity’.

Moralists considered two meals, lunch and dinner, to be sufficient for the day, while the church described breakfast as a forbidden pleasure.

Meanwhile, this negative perception of breakfast was also related to social status, as those who had to eat breakfast were those belonging to lower social classes.

Breakfast was a symbol of the poor class who had to do hard farm work.

Because of such social perceptions, a culture of avoiding breakfast developed in the empire.

The change in culture was brought about by the advent of ‘fresh milk.’

To be precise, it was through one statement.

[I think drinking milk in the morning helped.]

‘Bianca’ enjoyed drinking milk when she woke up in the morning, and credited it as the secret to her growth.

Although it was a passing remark during the interview, Bianca’s remark created a buzz.

“You said drinking milk in the morning is so good?”

“Yes, that’s why I drink milk first thing in the morning when I wake up these days.”

As rumors spread that ‘morning milk’ was good for growth and development, noble ladies began drinking milk in the morning, and parents with children also followed suit and made their children drink milk in the morning.

As ‘morning milk’ became a trend in the empire, White Tower launched Corn Frost to match the trend.

Aria was amazed at the timing of the release.

“I don’t know if you’re a merchant or a wizard.”

“what.”

“You planned it all out with that in mind.”

As Aria said, Bianca’s ‘interview’ was a build-up to settling the Empire’s breakfast.

Because each and every word of Bianca, the symbol of the dairy industry, had a great impact.

Even the words that Bianca said in passing became a guideline for the young ladies’ lives.

“But is there really a need to aim for the morning?”

“If it’s not morning, it’s not cornfrost.”

“What is that?”

Aria didn’t understand why I insisted on breakfast, but it was a very important matter.

Because cereal is easy to enjoy, it is the best meal for busy mornings.

The advantages that cereal promoted were that it was easy to eat and saved time.

Cornfrost’s line, “The tiger spirit is rising!” was also a line aimed at the morning.

Just hearing the loud words, “That was great!” is a powerful way to start the day.

With dairy coins on the rise, now is the perfect time to make Cornfrost popular.

I visited Liris’ house on the weekend when Bianca’s juice shop was closed.

“Are you there, Miss Release?”

As I looked around and called out to Liris in front of the door, I tilted my head in confusion at the strangeness.

‘Is this the right place?’

The horsepower carriage that had been so boasted about before was gone, and only an old cart was left sitting in the yard.

It was hard to believe that something like an ordinary commoner’s home was where Liris, who liked to show off, lived.

‘Surprisingly frugal.’

As I was wondering like that, the old wooden door opened with a creaking sound.

The one who opened the wooden door and appeared was Liris with a gloomy expression.

“Wow, wizard!? Come in.”

Liris, who was startled when she saw me, guided me into the house.

“Welcome, boss.”

“Yes, excuse me.”

As I was exchanging greetings with Bianca, Lilith brought me some oat tea that she had made herself.

It is impressive to see him carrying a tray with a teacup on his short arms and legs.

A unique characteristic of Lilith is that she speaks authoritatively but acts more diligently than anyone else.

“I didn’t have anything to treat you to, so I made some oat tea.”

“Oh, I will drink it well.”

While drinking oat tea, I asked a question that came to mind.

“I don’t see any horsepower trains outside.”

“I sold it because I didn’t need it.”

“?”

Liris stutters and speaks in embarrassment, while Bianca smiles awkwardly.

I felt an awkward atmosphere, but I nodded because there was nothing particularly strange.

“Yeah, you said you were moving soon.”

There were rare nobles who gave up their horsepower when moving, and it seemed that Lilith was one of those.

however.

“Hey, I decided to postpone the move. Leaving the house I’ve grown attached to… …”

As Lilith stopped talking, Bianca wrapped her arm around Lilith’s shoulder.

“Release, tell me the truth.”

“… Huh, actually it’s ruined.”

Lilith’s shoulders slumped.

“I sold the house I was moving into and all my horsepower vehicles.”

“yes?”

“No, the farm was also seized by the empire─”

As they spoke, sadness welled up in them, and Lilith burst into tears in Bianca’s arms.

“I, I didn’t know anything, but, what am I supposed to do if you take everything away from me!”

“It’s okay, it’s okay. That’s right.”

“Whoaah!”

Bianca comforted Liris, who was crying sadly, by patting her on the back.

After crying sadly for a while, Lilith finally calmed down and began to tell the story.

But, that story was very sad.

“…They took it all away under the pretext of a fine?”

“That’s right. He took all the money he had earned from handing out milk flyers and serving at a bar for a year.”

Lilith’s shoulders slumped in depression.

“Now there are only two farms left.”

Lilith, a vampire living in the Abyss, was ignorant of the human concept of taxation.

It was natural that Bianca, a country girl, was ignorant and had no one around her to ask for advice.

What I heard from those in the underworld was that stealing money from the empire was tax, so it was best to pay it as late as possible.

Of course, since it was only paid late, there was no problem as only a surcharge was added… … .

“They took all my money away, saying they were collecting the dairy cooperative’s illegally accumulated funds.”

“… … .”

My head felt dizzy as I listened.

So, during the royal audit of the Ministry of Magic, it was discovered that the head of the dairy cooperative had been committing corruption along with the Ministry of Magic.

However, this guy, the union leader, quickly gave the position to Lilith before the Ministry of Magic’s audit was conducted.

Liris, who knew nothing about the situation, was offered the position of ‘Chairman of the Dairy Farmers’ Association’, so she happily accepted the position, tempted by the title. However, because of that, she ended up taking on all the work that the previous chairman had started.

While Liris was fumbling around, unaware that she had been branded as the mastermind behind the dairy cooperative, the empire robbed her of everything under the pretext of collecting illicit funds.

Vampires couldn’t help but be ignorant of the human concept of taxes, but the Imperial Treasury was merciless when it came to such matters, no matter who they faced.

Because of that, Liris was left alone and just stomping her feet.

“I heard that if I don’t pay up, the remaining farms will all be seized. What should I do?”

“Where did that union leader go?”

“That, that is out of contact.”

“It flew away.”

Oh my god, I never thought there would be such a scam in this world.

Although Liris was shocked by the situation, which felt like a full-scale fraud, she actually had nothing to say.

The money Liris spent to start the milk business was also money earned from bootlegging, so it couldn’t be said to be clean. The problem was that the amount of money she spent was too great compared to the amount she had done.

“I’ll talk to the Ministry of Finance, so don’t worry too much.”

“Oh, thank you. Wizard. Hibiki.”

“But it is true that we used the dairy cooperative’s funds, so we will have to start over and raise the money again.”

“It’s a shame, but I think it has to be done that way.”

I proposed a business to Liris, who accepted reality.

Liris’s eyes sparkled as she heard the story.

“That sounds great!”

“Yes, I’m sure it will be fine.”

The business I gave to Liris was a collaboration between milk and cornfrost.

*

After finishing my conversation with Lilith, I went to see Princess Luciela a few days later.

For something like this, it was quicker to go to the royal family than to the Ministry of Finance.

“Oh my god, that can’t be happening… …!”

As expected, the First Princess, who was a huge fan of Lilith’s milk to the point of raiding the Ministry of Magic, took immediate action upon hearing of Lilith’s plight.

Not only was a warrant issued across the Empire for the former dairy cooperative leader, but all seizure warrants against the remaining farms in Liris were canceled.

In an empire where class was everything, the word of the royal family was law.

Of course, this was possible because it was acknowledged that the former head of the dairy cooperative had shifted the blame to Liris.

But should we call it a phone call?

“A fraud! Lilith?!”

“I feel bad for Liris.”

“I’ll buy some release milk!”

A movement arose among the nobles to buy Liris milk in order to help Liris, who had been defrauded.

The sales of Liris milk increased as a result of the publicity effect from the fraud incident.

In this way, it became a trend among the people of the empire to buy Lilith milk and drink it every morning.

“…what’s this?”

“Cornfrost?”

【A delicious cereal that you can drink with milk! Cornfrost!】

“Was it…good?”

When I bought Liris milk, it started to come with cornfrost.
