A Mid-level (Middle-aged) Office Worker’s Laid-Back Industrial Revolution in Another World
Episode 112: Low Price Strategies for Eggs... I'd love to host a specialty festival.
"... um... it's hard.
I heard about Takeo, and Grandpa Elvis was drooling.
"Right, massive supply of eggs is challenging.
Frederick also looks difficult.
"Is it feed?
"Mm-hmm. I need a forage farmer even if I think about it briefly.
"It seems understandable and spicy to make it for chickens.
Grandpa Elvis and Frederick answer Takeo's point.
"Even though the quality of crops can be inferior to that of people, even if you make something with a lower selling price, it will be less fruitful... so to maintain your income so far, you will need to expand the area you make... farmland.
"Um, Takeo's right.
Was Takeo dealing with more people?
"No. As far as I can tell, you were coping with the development of farm equipment without spending too much labor.
"Umm..."
"So instead of a sudden large-scale, why don't we start by creating a contract farmer just for the Elvis family and start with about 5 or 60 wings and make it slowly bigger?
You may also let them do both chicken farming and feeding for it.
"Um... there's that, too, but can't you be a little bigger?
"Right... it certainly doesn't make it as an industry if you're a contract farmer... and the local effect will be low.
... What about running 100-200 chicken farms on multiple village units, for example, as a village industry?
I do a review of that at the Elvis family every year at a set time to rank it... or something?
"How do you judge good and bad?
Smith asks.
"Honestly, I can't say for sure which one is a tasty egg because it's not eye-catching.
Normally think about it and crack raw eggs on the plate to see how the yellow bulges, the intensity of the yellow color, the clarity of the white, the viscosity of the white... "
"You can only judge that by experts.
Alice squeaks.
"Right... but I think you have to appreciate just the beauty and color of the shape, even if you don't know everything.
Besides... what do you say we try boiled eggs?
"Hmm?... boiled eggs?
"Yeah. The cooking method is simple and the ingredients remain flavorful, so why don't you decide when to boil it and eat it and decide what it's like to boil it?
"... do you see the difference?
Frederick asks.
"... to be honest, I don't think I know.
However, by ranking even marginally, we begin to think about raising methods from village to village, and feed could also be improved, incidentally creating good quality.
I think that if the quality is bottomed up, there will be many business partners, and we will be able to increase production even further.
"I see, you make a good circulation.
"Yes, and I think it's a good idea for every restaurant manager in this city to become an evaluator and find the right eggs for their local dishes.
"I see.
"If you're thinking about the development of the village, I was wondering if you could make one dish for 100 people in each village specialty for 3 days in this city, get the city people to eat it, and rank which dishes were delicious.
"What happens when you do that?
"That food was delicious, so maybe someone will come out to try going to that village over there.
If you are in a village along the street that was usually passed by, it is more likely that the merchants and travellers will come for that meal and stay in the lodgings regularly.
If more people come, they are willing to make different specialties.
Agricultural land expansion may also be planned in order to be made on a regular basis.
Of course, if you can suddenly change the type of fabrication you've made, it will lead to higher prices, so you have to increase your production so that you don't change the crop much before.
"The idea, that's interesting.
Smith shares his thoughts.
"Yeah, good circulation planning is fun.
However, there must be some places where the land is also thin and the specialties are hard to come by.
"Yes, some land is bad.
"There, shall we send the cooks as collaborators?
... no... how about having all the villages go by the name of the number of Elvis family cooks and give them some flavor and food advice?
I can only take potatoes. Even rural areas are going to be able to make specialties.
"What dishes did Master Takeo think of?
Alice is interested and asks.
"These fries are skinned, aren't they?
"Yes. You're frying potatoes in equal portions.
"There are two types of potato fries in me.
One is what I was saying earlier about cutting and frying.
The other is an object that crushed boiled potatoes and fried them elongated and tidy.
I can't imagine, but it's not?
"Same frying, same ingredients, but changes the texture you can do.
If you want to cut and fry, the potatoes will have a little solidity so they are crisp outside and chew properly inside to eat.
If you boiled it, it has crisp outside and hocky softness inside.
We're going to fry the potato salad we ate today. It's going to be softer inside, isn't it?
"... please make it, Master Takeo.
Alice asks in tears.
"Miss Alice, don't look so cute.
Or would you have been satisfied with the dish just now?
"Ugh... because imagine it looks delicious.
"Well, let's make it someday.
"Absolutely!
Alice looks "I expect" with a glitter on her face.
"Mr. Frederick, can we consider this idea with the civilian population?
I just had an idea, but in me, I can't divide this festival.
"Right. Let my men consider it.
Chicken farms and egg reviews, specialty festivals in each village, right?
"Yep. I think it's good as a flow, but the detail part will often be unknown unless you're a practitioner..."
"Yes. If you go to that street, every village on Elvis territory is going to be alive.
"You're going to get more fruitful, more compliments from your lord... and more motivated.
Takeo laughs bitterly.
"Right. Let's focus on our civil servants and review their plans for implementation.
It's going to be more interesting if it works.
"Yes. Ah... you don't really have to follow what I think, do you?
Because it's best to let it change the way it suits this city, and you won't have to do everything.
"Okay. Only our men will take the initiative to plan it.
"Yes, thank you.
Takeo gave Frederick a gentle interview.
