A Mid-level (Middle-aged) Office Worker’s Laid-Back Industrial Revolution in Another World

“Frederick, what about the Bureau of Economics farming test site?”

“Yes, we are currently improving the quality of key vegetables, mainly wheat and tomatoes.

We are also testing high-performance fertilizers using slime body fluids.

This is what I am asking the Belte family of the Kita Mizato family to do.

Unfortunately, we will not be able to begin testing new wheat cultivation methods as soon as possible. ”

Frederick says.

"Hmmm... but as Lord Konoha said, you've come to the point where you can get wheat for bread and the quality may improve, so it's a waste to do nothing."

"That's... yes, that's right.

Lord Uka, do you think you can grow wheat here this time? "

Frederick asks Uka.

“Yeah, I think it's okay.

Wheat can basically go from the temperate to the subcold zones, and it is strong against drying and does not need so much water, so it is characterized by a wide range of climatic conditions.

Count Elvis' realm is on the north side of the kingdom... ah, did the rye actually belong to the Lord?

But it doesn't seem to be that it doesn't grow at all, so the variety you're using now is less resistant to cold.

It may be better to test cultivating the imported product this time and check if it is resistant to cold.

If possible, it's the first time, and it might be better to experiment with cultivation in a warm place. ”

Uka says.

"Hmm... on the warm south side of the land...

I'm just building a village by the river. ”

"That's right.

It has only just been plowed, and soil seems to be a little difficult at the moment, but it is located along the river, so water is easily accessible, and it may be a good place to test and cultivate.

And since it's a budding village, you won't be reluctant to make new wheat. ”

Grandpa Elvis and Frederick thought about it.

"Viktor, how much more can you ask for bread wheat from the Demon Kingdom?"

Alice asks Viktor.

"That's right... it was purchased from the central wholesaler in the Demon Kingdom, so please do it now. Considering the arrival next month, the maximum... is about 300 kg, I think."

I think 500 kg to 1000 kg will be possible by November for planting.

However, since there is a conventional war, I think we need to order it early. ”

“Frederick, can we import 500 kilos and test them in the village?”

"That's right... I think it is necessary to properly classify the fields and grow only the wheat to be imported... but I think it would be perfect as a planting test."

"I see... um... Alice."

Yes.

“I don't have Takeo, but I'm going to ask the Kitamizato family to sell this wheat for bread.

I would like to set the delivery date to November 1. "

"I was awed.

Viktor, apart from the whole city we're putting together right now, we're getting a special order.

I will ask Simona to place an order immediately.

Please make sure that 500 kg of wheat for bread can be delivered on the last day of October for baking.

We don't specify the delivery date, but buy 200kg to use in the Kitamizato family. ”

“Yes, I understand.

The Kitamizato house is not for sale in the city, right? "

"Yes, I will only buy it to sell to the Elvis and Belte families.

I know I want to eat, and I think the Elvis family will buy it for me.

And Viktor and the Belte family ate this bread, didn't they?

In that case, I think it would be better to eat the same things as where I lived.

Will you make Viktor's share for the Belte family? ”

“Thank you.”

Viktor and Emma lowered their heads.

"Hmm... Alice, do you want to buy it?"

"If Grandpa eats this bread, he'll want to eat it again, right?"

"Hmm, this is delicious."

But it'll take four hours to prepare...

Lord Konoha, can you modify Tang Yi? "

Grandpa Elvis asks.

"It should be fine to adjust the gap of the wooden mound for brown rice... you can remove the shell of wheat immediately."

Well, I think you can do it right now because you did it this time.

After that, I think it would be good if we could link the milling with the stone mill instead of cutting the outside of the mill with the wood mill... I wonder if we could make it like a mill?

I think this is going to take a while. ”

Konoha says while thinking.

"Kono-chan, I think we should cut the outside of the wheat, even brown rice."

I think it will taste less miscellaneous and better than white rice. "

"Nh... shredding the outside can break the rice."

Wheat can be made into flour without worrying about it, but if rice breaks, it tastes...

Uu-chan, I'm sorry, but for the time being it's brown rice. "

"I see, I can't help it ~"

Makes Uka look like he's given up.

"Hmm... Alice, can you take Lord Konoha and order it from Steno Giken?"

Frederick, let's build a brown rice refiner, wheat refiner, and mill shed on the estate. ”

"That's right.

Let's think about it a little bit. ”

Frederick nodded.

"Well, then it's an order addressed to the Demon Kingdom. I don't know when the declaration of war will arrive, so I think it's better to give it to you as soon as possible."

Since the declaration of war arrived, the order could have been placed by Lord Simona on suspicion of interconnection. "

Grandpa Elvis says.

"Alice, I'm going."

Vieira tells Alice.

Huh? Vieira, will you go and use it?

Yes! To the demon kingdom!

"Ah, that way."

Well... you should let Simona know before the usual declaration of war arrives.

Viktor, do you think we'll be able to get the order form ready soon? "

"I understand.

In... two hours... no, please wait about an hour.

I'll go back to the lab and prepare it for you. "

"I understand.

Vieira, it's getting late, can I ask you a favor? "

I'll take care of it!

Vieira nods.

... how can I give it to Simona... until I have the paperwork?

Alice was right.
