433 Episode 55,5: Wheat Secret History - Fantasy Hunger

There is no "if" in history.

Still, it is man who spreads the wings of fantasy. If that great man is still alive, if the winner of that war is another country... One of those many "if" things blues the scholars.

What would have happened if cold resistant wheat hadn't been born at that time......?

The unprecedented famine, maybe, was hitting the continent...?

Wheat "Meer V", now widely harvested on the continent, but it was in its early days that its original species of wheat was discovered by two people, Asha Tafrief Perugian and Sero Rudolfone, covering the continent in cold weather.

In the northern part of the Empire, on the Guildenside Tubor territory, the two found the wheat, on the basis of which they begin to improve the variety. As a result, "Meer II" will be developed two years after its discovery and placed on the market…, initially, its wheat was disapproved.

"Uh, I'd like you to give me a break. Damn, why is wheat so expensive?

In the market of the Imperial capital......, one man raised his mourning voice.

The price of wheat lined up on the market was about 1,5 times that of the usual year. Even if it is not so much as cannot be bought, it is something that I would like to complain about.

"Apparently, he's been out of production this year. There's a tendency to shortage everywhere, and even if the price goes up, it won't go down for the moment."

"Oh man, I can't stop...... Oh, my God, isn't this wheat cheap?"

Huh, a wheat bag with a man's eyes closed, the price written there was no different from the usual wheat price.

"Oh, it's wheat supplied by the government."

"From the government...?

The merchant laughed bitterly at the man with the suspicious face.

"There's a good deal in circulation... but the quality"

"Is that not good?

"Bread it, kind of... Thank you. It's too sticky. It's hard when cooked, and it tastes good."

In the words of the merchant, the man looked frightened.

"Whoa, what are you thinking, Mr. Great? Flush this stuff into the market..."

The man in the bungalow, as usual, tries to spit poison... and then he glances at the name given to that wheat bag.

"Meer II wheat......? What the hell?"

"Oh, that seems to be the name of that wheat. Everything looks like wheat made in Her Royal Highness Princess Meer's school city"

"Heh, of Her Royal Highness Princess Meer..."

Behind the brains of a man in an unbungalow, I think of that, generous figure of His Highness the Princess.

That winter day, at that birthday... meals served by the nobles. We all had a full tummy of it and celebrated the birth of the princess, with pleasant memories floating behind her lid...

"Right...... Wheat made by His Highness the Princess..."

Fool, his cheeks loosened.

"Oh, what's wrong?

"No, it's nothing..."

If you say this, you'll be guilty of disrespect, the man swallowed the words.

To say that this wheat, which is slightly less user-friendly, somehow falls on the figure of His Highness the Princess, etc...

I'm generous, but I can't possibly say in my mouth that I'm just a little out of it... it looks that way, that it's wheat made by that princess... and I'm so convinced when I hear that, etc.

"Well, you do. On second thought, it's better than running out of food and starving"

That's how the man laughed and bought Meer II.

People's reactions were in roughly similar forms.

Um, it's wheat with Her Royal Highness Princess Meer's name on it, so... With familiarity, the wheat was accepted.

Events that changed that situation happened when Meer II stopped doing so much as it started coming out.

A man of loyalty has risen.

"It's not something I've seen before, such as poor wheat production in the name of Her Highness Princess Meer."

It was Musta Wagman, the chief chef of the court, a man who boasted of the best culinary skills in the empire, who raised his voice so.

Wheat is not bad for not being able to cook good food. He worked to establish a cooking law based on the belief that the cooking law was bad.

If it's not suitable for use in bread, give me something else......

Flexibly, having tried various cooking methods as well as existing ones, he finally completes them.

The best way to cook for Meer II.

Meer II, do not bake. Boil...

The willing and chef took what could be done, white and mossy, to Meer.

Thus, after a bite of Meer, the chef is drained of his liver by the words that he lightly releases.

Meer said.

"... this is going to go with that sweet bean paste"

Not long ago, I asked the Fork Road Chamber of Commerce to pick up the sweet beans...... The idea that it might fit was something the chef didn't have.

Hurry, the chef who tried it, there, sees the completion of his own dish!

Thus, the dish devised by the chef with Meer was called the full moon dough, once called the Meer dough, and was to permeate widely among the people.

The exquisite flavor of white mochi dough with a paste of amazing black beans was very popular from children to adults.

To the situation, all the people of the Empire were inclined to their necks.

"Weird...... You should starve from wheat misery... why are we savoring delicious new dishes..."

and.

So much less, the varietal improvement wheat "Meer III" and "Meer IV" at the hands of Asha and Cyril begins to appear on the market. Better than No. 2, it is a later Meer series with properties closer to traditional wheat, but it was nevertheless that Meer II would become a deeply rooted popularity among people.

"That he had asked Tubor Gilden to help......, that he had sent Cyril Rudolfon and Princess Asha to discover cold resistant wheat and let the variety improve......, the sweet beans he had asked the Forklord Chamber of Commerce to pick up..."

Ludwig sighed deeply as he wrote down what had happened five years earlier, one by one.

People who enjoy peace don't know. How critical a situation this empire was in......

'Fantastic Famine' prevented before, bubbles and vanished.

Ludwig's eyes, however, held on to it.

"What if... If Mia hadn't acted..."

If we hadn't stockpiled up, if we hadn't secured food transport from afar, there would have been many starving deaths.

Alternatively, we might have been entering a war with neighbouring countries over food. It should have exhausted the national power of both sides and made the people suffer more......

"When Mia told me that we should rescue a country in need even after taking down our stockpiles, I was worried a lot about whether we should..."

As a result, the emergence of Meer II wheat spared food shortages.

When I heard that wheat varietal improvement was successful and cold resistant wheat was made, when I heard it was discovered from the territory of Gildenside Tubor, Ludwig was the one who was drained of his fatty liver. His peers were the same.

Meer saved not only the Empire, but the surrounding countries from the Great Famine.

"The Great Famine that Covers the Continent with Tragedy…, If Mia hadn't been here, it might have happened"

Ludwig could not have forbidden war.

There is no "if" in history. Still, Ludwig has to think.

If, in this day and age, an English talent named Meer Luna Tiermoon didn't show up..., what the hell was going on?

There is no "if" in history.

So there is no history other than a new sweet being devised in the empire.

Still, people spread their fantasy wings.

If so, what would have happened?

But in any case, it seemed unmistakable that this wheat, which had buried the phantom famine, would be engraved in history for a long time. Meer II. It is wheat that bears the name of the Empire's wisdom.

The empire's wisdom, that is, it is the empire's first….
