I Became a Food Developer in Another World-Chapter 99 - : Frozen Food (3)
Chapter 99 - 99: Frozen Food (3)
"It's a huge success."
I smiled as I looked at those who were lost in thought.
Those who faced the Ultimate Blue-Eyed Ice Dragon were overwhelmed by the oppressive aura emanating from its illusion.
Winter had already descended upon the garden, and each breath released a puff of steam.
That overwhelming production was grand enough to live up to the name "Ice Dragon Summoning Ceremony."
People who experience this all fell into the illusion that the welcome was real.
No, it wasn't a mistake; it was as if he had truly summoned an ice dragon.
"I think I got too immersed in it more than I expected."
Seeing Iberkina enveloped in the cold cloud, I couldn't help but smirk inwardly.
I had asked her to let her presence flow but it was Iberkina herself who had become entranced.
"Iberkina, you can stop now."
"...Okay."
Iberkina, who had been exuding a strong presence, withdrew her aura.
I clicked my tongue at the landscape revealed as the cold clouds receded.
The grass in the garden was completely frozen.
"I guess we need to replace the grass."
It was a bit excessive, but it was actually good. As a result, the event was a great success.
"Wow!"
"It's the best!"
"I thought it was a real dragon!"
Enthusiastic cheers erupted.
The intense energy driving away the cold was a testament to the popularity of the Beast Cards.
However, this was not merely limited to the popularity of the Beast Cards.
The current scene was simultaneously being broadcasted to the arenas in each region through the crystal orb.
A massive crowd gathered at the arena to witness the summoning ceremony of the Ultimate Blue-Eyed Ice Dragon.
The meaning is.
"Frozen chicken?"
"Are you saying there's chicken in here?"
It was said that they could enjoy tremendous advertising benefits.
Like the 'Super Bowl' ads, which are considered the dream stage in the American advertising industry.
The moment the world's first frozen chicken was introduced was being watched by countless people gathered in the arenas.
"Are you saying it becomes chicken just by heating it up?"
"If that works out, it means we won't have to go to the pub..."
"I don't know if this makes any sense."
Of course, the people gathered in the arena were skeptical about the existence of frozen chicken.
The chicken they knew was a dish that could only be eaten if it was fried in plenty of 'oil.'
If it wasn't a city rich in oil, it was a reality that fried dishes were hard to come by.
It wasn't a simple dish that could be completed just by boiling or heating it up, as the crystal orb mentioned.
If that statement is true, it means that you can enjoy chicken not just in the city but also in the countryside, which was a story hard to believe.
But.
─If you would like to eat, please bring it and heat it up!
"...What?"
"Is it really chicken?"
In the garden of the White Tower, a large magic refrigerator and tableware were set up.
As the people who received the frozen chicken lined up hesitantly by the fireplace, the staff from Trion heated it up and distributed it.
No oil was used there, and it didn't even take 10 minutes.
However the final product was not simple.
"...Gulp, it smells good."
"Is it really chicken?"
The sweet smell of the Golden Honey Combo wafting through the air and the sight of the large chicken drumsticks made it clear to anyone that it was chicken.
As soon as they took a bite of it.
Crisp!
The batter that crumbles like a snack and the rich juices bursting out from within!
"Ch, chicken!"
"It's real?!"
The eyes of the people who ate the Golden Honey Combo widened in surprise.
Even though they didn't use any oil and just heated it for a short time, it really made chicken!
Above all.
"Awesome, they just put only chicken legs."
"Crunch, they even have a separate container just for the wings."
The Golden Honey Combo contained only the preferred parts: wings, drums, and thighs.
To those who had just eaten a whole chicken, this was a refreshing shock.
"Ah, it's delicious."
"Big legs are nice too."
People enjoyed the frozen chicken with satisfied faces.
Since only the most delicious parts were gathered, it couldn't help but be tasty.
─We have beer and cola, so everyone feel free to take as much as you want!
"Wow, this is an event!"
"Ah, this is amazing."
An unexpected chicken party was held in the garden of the White Tower.
The scene was broadcasted live to the arenas in each region through the crystal orb.
"Oh, I want to eat too."
"Crunch, it looks delicious."
"When is that supposed to be released?"
It was the moment when frozen chicken was etched into the minds of the countless people who visited the arena.
And.
─The Golden Honey Combo is now available at stores in your area!
The Golden Honey Combo was released simultaneously with the video.
*
The Ultimate Blue-Eyed Ice Dragon event was carried out with meticulous groundwork.
"Ice Dragon" was a keyword that went well with "Frozen Chicken," so we planned a reveal that combined the two, and the Golden Honey Combo was distributed to stores in each region before the event started.
After completing all the preliminary tasks, what started was this summoning event.
The more meticulous the preparation, the more explosive the results.
"Give me the Golden Honey Combo!"
"I just came from the arena! I heard there are frozen chickens, is that true?!"
The stores were overflowing with people who had just come from watching the video at the arena.
The stores had made all the necessary preparations, but their stock was gone in an instant.
"Crazy, it's really chicken!"
"Wow, this is amazing."
That day, smoke rose incessantly from the communal ovens in every city and village.
Updated from freewёbnoνel.com.
This phenomenon occurred simultaneously not only in the Empire but also in the Fioré Kingdom.
"Isn't chicken just chicken? Why can't we eat this?"
"Crunch, it's just so delicious."
Even in the Fioré Kingdom, where bread was a staple food, many people ate chicken.
But amusingly, while you could eat chicken, if you cooked it as fried chicken, you would get disapproving looks.
That's because it was 'Wyvern Chicken' that made chicken famous.
It is true that eating wyverns, who are undeniably part of the dragon race, is frowned upon those who live in the Fioré Kingdom, where dragon blood flows, but.
"Seeing a chicken as a dragon is quite an affront to one's pride."
"Honestly, if there's anyone who doesn't eat eggs, come out and say it."
A 'chicken' was distinctly different from a wyvern.
This arena advertisement was an opportunity for the citizens of the kingdom to rethink their views on chicken.
─You shouldn't buy Beast Bread and Golden Honey Combo!
─This is all about making money for the Empire!
Meanwhile, a prime ministerial candidate with anti-imperialist ideology fervently held protests against it.
"Then you try sharing the bread!"
"Can you make frozen chicken?"
It didn't even make a dent with the kingdom's citizens.
The leftover Beast Bread after tearing off the wrapper was the main food for the starving commoners, and frozen chicken was the only way to taste chicken without oil.
The frozen chicken craze began to spread, centered around the Empire and the Fioré Kingdom.
While the world was in an uproar over Beast Cards and frozen chicken.
"I returned safely, just as you wished."
"I am honored to meet the Second Princess."
The Second Princess, who had left to subdue the monster territory, has returned.
"I'm glad it seems like you didn't get hurt."
"Didn't you give me the bracelet for that purpose?"
Showing off the bracelet on her wrist, the Second Princess gave a mischievous smile.
"I got tired from being careful not to get hurt."
A bitter smile formed.
'As expected, did giving the bracelet not sit well with you?'
Before the Second Princess left for the monster territory, I gave her a bracelet imbued with protective magic.
It was the 'Tears of the Sea God' that I won from Ayla in a contest.
Seeing her bring up that story even after coming back, it seems that giving her the bracelet was indeed a mistake.
To someone who was looking forward to a confrontation with the monsters, the bracelet with protective magic would have been a factor that dampened their interest.
It didn't seem like she was planning to return the bracelet, though.
"By the way, you had some fun while I was away."
"Beast Bread, you say."
"To turn the myths of a foreign land into a game, you really had the audacity to think of doing such a thing against those lizard bastards."
"The Third Prince is concerned that the Fioré Kingdom might turn against the Empire."
"I told him to stop his nonsense already."
The Second Princess frowned at the thought of the Third Prince's delusions of grandeur.
"If he does it one more time, I'll have to throw him into the mental ward."
"...."
I was going to say that the Third Prince spent a whopping ten million gold on the Blue-Eyed Ice Dragon, but I think I'll set this story aside.
Even as a joke, it seemed like the Third Prince could really end up being confined to a mental hospital.
So, I put aside the thought of asking about her impressions of Beast Card and changed the subject.
"Have you tried frozen chicken?"
"I haven't tried it, but I've heard about it."
"I plan to supply it to the military."
There was no item more suitable for the military than frozen food.
Even things that couldn't be enjoyed as canned food could be enjoyed if they were frozen.
At my words, the Second Princess showed a puzzled reaction.
"In the military, it must be difficult to store frozen goods, right?"
If you store frozen food at room temperature, it will thaw and spoil quickly.
Frozen food was something that absolutely had to be stored by freezing it.
However, the military had significantly fewer "magic stones" to store it.
Until now.
"I think we can solve that problem."
I took out the Cryostone and placed it on the table.
"It's a magic stone."
"Yes, it's the magic stone used in the magic school."
"It doesn't seem like there's anything special."
"It is made from recycled waste gemstones."
The Second Princess made a curious expression.
"It seems to be the magic that the White Tower Master was researching."
"That's right."
Our Tower Master of the White Tower conducted research on the remnants of the magic stone with the support of the imperial budget.
However, they were always a burden, receiving money without delivering any results, constantly having to watch their backs around the imperial family.
It seemed that the Second Princess also knew about it.
"I heard she were just a money-eating hippo, but it seems you've finally achieved something."
"Yes, we have lowered the price to 20 gold."
"?"
The Second Princess had a puzzled expression.
"...20 gold?"
"Yes, it's 20 gold."
The price of the magic stones used in the magic refrigerator was 100 gold, the cheapest one. The price of the cold magic stone was a staggering five times lower than that.
And.
"The price of the magic stone to be supplied to the military is expected to be around 25 gold."
"...."
The price of the market magic stone started at 120 gold.
