Knights, Let’s Smash Them

50 – The majesty of the cuisine of Count Rupel, where Judge Arthur is overturned and the Duke of Hebron sheds tears. ＞

When did I start liking alcohol?

I’m sure it was before I fell into this world, but when I was just 20 years old, I couldn’t drink well, so I remember feeding the pigeons at every drinking party.

Anyway, alcohol, which first started as convenience store beer, gradually developed and expanded its variations.

I came to my senses and reached the point where I was holding Jack Daniel’s Honey in one hand and Absolut Zero Vodka in the other.

I’ve heard a lot of stories about why this bastard covets soju or yangju.

But what?

I really like to drink alcohol.

That’s why the sake of this world might have been more palatable.

Since beer and wine are common here, there are many products that can be enjoyed as beverages rather than pure alcohol.

In that respect, the beer I discovered at this brewery boasted an overwhelming taste.

“…… ? Where the hell did you get this from?”

The attendant in charge of Count Rupel’s liquor looked at me with his eyes wide open.

As the place where I first met Count Rupel was a pub in Petalonto, the Count was also a gintobaegi lover.

He split his fortune into a poor housekeeping and had his liquor manager properly employed.

“It was left in an old brewery that was closed.”

“When was it made?”

“It was half a year ago.”

“…… It’s roughly the same as when the former manager retired due to health problems. It seems to have been used as a wine cellar in its own way.”

Did something like that happen?

I nodded, and the liquor manager added, sweeping his shaggy beard.

“I will do my best to find out how to brew.”

A look full of determination.

There was a will to make things successful.

“Please suffer.”

“Because the Count will surely be pleased too.”

“How about collaborating with the brewers in Petalonto? I always regretted not being able to sell beer as a specialty of Rupell.”

“I agree… …. I don’t know if there’s a problem with the storage method, or if Rupell’s environment is unusual. They say that if you transport it to another region, it won’t taste the same at all.”

Isn’t that why I came here myself?

Of course, specialties that can only be tasted in the region are not bad, but in the end, ‘regional branding’ is important to continuously attract external manpower.

I came all the way here because I had enough time and money.

Because ordinary travelers can’t do that.

Relying only on word of mouth is not a very effective method.

If you can sell delicious beer to commercial centers including the imperial capital.

People also say, “Oh, this beer…… How about locally…… ?” They will flock to the Rupel estate thinking that.

“Now we are on the same boat. Let’s go together.”

“Good. For the revival of the Rupel estate!”

I grinned and grabbed the liquor manager’s hand.

As Uggro was also attracted due to the unusual situation in Tiffen Village, the story about Rupel Manor will be passed on through the mouths of bards.

The success or failure of the revival of Rupell depends on how many people participate in this cooking competition.

When the water comes in, I can’t f*cking stir so I’ll even run a motor.

***

While I and Count Rupel’s liquor manager are inquiring about the brewing method of the beer we accidentally discovered.

The cooking contest that I and Xianne originally planned to go to the capital was also being held successfully.

“Will this be enough?”

“Well, I think aggro will suffice.”

Vice-head Emen, in charge of PR and marketing…… No, now that she was practically the chief administrator, she thrust her handbill right in front of my eyes.

“But is this really true?”

As soon as I smiled satisfied, vice-captain Emain answered in a voice that he was tired of something.

“Isn’t it much more eye-catching than the first one?”

“No, the patterns embedded here and there hinder readability. And why are the letters so complicatedly twisted?”

“That’s all a ruse. If even people who won’t watch it do that, why don’t you watch it one more time out of curiosity about what the hell this is all about?”

At my words, vice-captain Emain glanced down at a flyer the size of his palm.

“It certainly is, but… ….”

Unfortunately, the system of ‘advertisement’ here is not well developed.

It was easy to find announcements such as job postings, finding people, and giving requests in the adventurer’s guild.

I have never seen a publicity method that corresponds to modern spam, such as ‘massive publicity’ that provides information to an unspecified number of people at once.

Of course, the printing technology is unnecessarily well developed for a work that claims to be a fantasy, so it can be seen as the best environment for spreading spam like this.

‘Ah! I will become the world’s first spam mail creator!’

Constina Grandma Gukbap is openly served in the capital of the empire, so what are you doing to find fault with the probability now?

I’m ashamed that this isn’t a martial arts world. If it was a martial arts world, I would have jumped up and shouted, “This isn’t martial arts!!”

Still, as much as Emain was seeing an advertisement like this for the first time, she had a look in her eyes saying she couldn’t keep up.

“Aren’t the core contents written at the top and bottom anyway? There is no problem because the content to be delivered clearly is written down neatly.”

“…… After all, he’s a really quirky person. The Lubern Magistrate.”

“You have to do everything you can.”

Everything has to be put on the first button well.

It’s OK if we can host this cooking contest and reveal the existence of Rupel’s territory throughout the empire.

If it goes bankrupt, from that moment on, the future of the Rupel estate I envisioned will be completely destroyed.

In addition, they had to recruit additional knights.

Until I came, recruitment itself was impossible because there was no money, but things have changed a lot now.

If such a large-scale event is held, it is certain that many wandering knights who have nothing to do and wander the entire empire will hear rumors and come to visit.

If you sort and scout the chaff and grains among them, the power of the Snow Leopard Knights can be strengthened in an instant.

Sure.

The additional value that Rupell’s territory and knights will gain from this cooking contest cannot be converted into hundreds of gold coins.

Attracting tourists by developing local specialties.

With the influx of external capital, the economic situation of residents improves.

As people attracted to the territory settle down or join the Knights, the talent pool in the territory increases.

The resurrection of Count Rupel, which once rivaled the Duchy of Hebron, the third largest duchy of the empire, will be announced throughout the empire.

And also developing delicious chicken (very important).

“Ehh, then I need to arrange a place soon. Because it can’t be done at the count’s house…….”

Vice-captain Emain let out a deep sigh and stretched out his arms.

As much as it has been several months since we’ve seen each other together, you know that I can’t easily break my stubbornness.

“If this event is successful, it will be thanks to Vice-Chairman Dai Men. You know?”

“If you really can’t talk… ….”

I laughed as she trudged out of her office.

From noble mtl dot com.

***

So preparations for the cooking competition were progressing steadily.

The first to respond to the word cooking contest were the citizens of Petaronto who are engaged in the restaurant industry.

“The Knights are holding a cooking contest this time. It seems like it’s going on like a festival.”

“It’s an ad, I got it a long time ago. It’s been a while since I decorated the empty lot in the north of the city.”

“Don’t you want to challenge yourself? The total prize money is 300 gold coins.”

Three hundred gold coins.

I certainly wouldn’t give it to one person, but even if I burned and ate one-third of one hundred gold coins, it was almost the same as doing business for several years.

Because it’s a small northern territory, the only tourists coming to it were Petalonto, like beans sprouting in the drought.

One hundred gold coins was an amount that ordinary people could not even dream of.

“Honestly, isn’t it tempting?”

“As usual, my wife is begging me to hurry up and get on. If we prepare from now on, wouldn’t we have enough possibilities? Hey, I heard you tried tempura a few times before.”

“Yes, but… ….”

“You and me, let’s split it half and half!”

“…… Yes, even if you fall, it’s not worth it. Let’s try it!”

Of course, it was not only Rupel Young-min who wished to participate.

“Did you see this ad? Some strange letters were listed, so I read it, but I heard there’s a cooking contest in the north?”

“The total prize money is said to be 300 gold coins.”

“More than that, I was attracted to the free provision of spices and ingredients.”

“Well…… Spices are too expensive these days. After the large merchants bought it at a low price, they agreed to freeze the price.”

Isn’t that why you can’t raise the price of food hotly like they do?

If you dared to do such a bad thing in an alley, you would lose even your regular customers in an instant and end up sitting on the street.

“You, I know that your late mother made her fries amazing.”

“Right. My mother really enjoyed it.”

“Then can’t you make it like that too? How about taking part?”

“I wonder… ….”

“Yumma! Try to have a winner come out of our alley, aren’t you the only one who likes that? It could feed us all!”

North, South, East and West of the Volibert Empire.

From the capital Constantina to a barony.

Like adventurers who go on an adventure to find a legendary artifact, countless cooks have started heading to the Rupel estate.

Is that all?

At the word that a fairly fresh and interesting event would be held in an unheard-of Northern Territory, the number of onlookers began to flock as much as the number of cooks.

Simple travelers, minstrels.

Wandering knights and mercenaries.

Beggars and merchants always follow people wherever they go.

As it was definitely a cooking contest, all the nobles and their children who came to taste the special delicacies also visited Rupel Manor.

“…… ??”

“Lou, Lubern Magistrate…… What are you going to do with this!!”

The result.

“f*cked.”

The number of tourists has reached a level that Petaronto’s capacity can’t handle.

This was a result that even Lubern Alroy could not have expected.
