Boy, that one's done.
"Is that it? What's done, old man?
"It's a preserved food that the kid's been making me make for a long time. I made sure the one I made two years ago stayed eaten undamaged. Experiments are a success."
"Oh, seriously. You're really not rotting, are you, old man? I'm sorry about eating preserved food and breaking your stomach."
"Oh, no problem. Even if the one with the Barca surname is slightly rotten, I feel safe eating it with [poison deactivation]."
"Maybe, but preserved food isn't the only thing the Barca surname eats. Either way, it's my fault or I'll give you a taste of the finished product."
I was working in the city of Fontana on the development of land within the kingdom, and my old man came.
The old man is also able to use the transfer stone thanks to acquiring our main strength in this military reform.
So as soon as we heard the old man's report, we decided to jump to Vulcania.
The contents of the old man's report were related to the preserved food that he had previously been allowed to study.
This preserved food has been something I've always wanted to make.
Originally due to the cold weather in winter, it becomes difficult to secure what to eat in winter.
Even if not, most foods can only be eaten during the season because there are basically few ways they can be stored for a long time.
It's also why I don't want to move my army in the winter.
Still, as soon as I made Vulcania, I also used [Ice Spear], the magic of Fontana, to create refrigerated warehouses.
That proved to be quite a long shelf life for food.
But still, it would be enough to extend it for a season at best.
I wanted to be able to preserve it for a longer period of time, that's what makes the year whole but edible.
So I decided to recall the information I could use from my memory of my previous life.
One way of preserving it, he said, was to succeed this time.
That was a very excellent way for food in a state that could be eaten just by opening a can called a can to be preserved for a few years.
"Yeah, it tastes thick, but this is good. You can eat right, old man."
"How's it going over here, kid? The fruit you were talking about was soaked. Sweet."
"Um, aye. Lilina's gonna love this."
"The flavor hasn't fallen off for years before I stuffed it in a can, and it hasn't rotted. Besides, it also solved the problem of rupture of the cans that had existed before. We can put this into practice."
"Fine. This could be used as military food from preservation for disaster situations."
Me and the old man open the cans at the lab in the southeast side of Vulcania to make sure they taste good.
The Barca can was not particularly problematic, and I succeeded in delivering the food I had saved for several years to my stomach.
It took quite a long experiment to get here.
Initially, Barca didn't have the means to stably get the metal to make the cans.
To this end, it was initially decided to do research on bottles.
Although this bottle was somewhat successful, it is really heavy and easy to crack due to the properties of the bottle.
Glass, in particular, may not have been very commonly used in the land until now.
When I was a young girl, I magically made glass, but people in this world who didn't even have windows didn't even have the common sense that "glass is fragile".
This was especially true of all the common people and others.
Some dishes and the like were basically made of wood.
I also didn't understand the obvious that if I dropped the glass bottle from my hand and hit the ground, it would break.
Otherwise, many bottles were broken due to the swing of the luggage when transported.
It was conceived that even if we made a bottle as a preserved food in Barca, if we tried to make use of it as a military food, perhaps soldiers of peasant origin would break the bottle.
That's why I decided that I should still make a can without the risk of cracking it.
Just now, it is also significant that the mine was obtained as the territory of Brother Byte.
Experiments for the manufacture of cans were repeated in earnest because there was also a prospect of obtaining some metal.
The cans are sealed with food inside a can of metal.
but sometimes metal is damaged by the effects of food in the can.
To that end, it was necessary to actually try to make cans to find out what kind of metal would be less likely to be damaged.
Apparently, brisket plating tin on steel seemed the best.
I can also say that it was just fine because tin was also picked in a mine on my brother Byte's territory.
And make a can and stuff it there.
The food you put inside the can is heated, cooked, put in the edible state, and seal it.
Doing so allows for years of preservation in order to avoid corrosive fungi and the like.
I used [wash] it just in case, for the can and for the food, so I should have kept it clean.
Still, there were a lot of failures at first.
There were also accidents where the can was damaged and burst.
but still managed to cling to success in this way.
Incidentally, I often saw smaller cans in my previous life, but this time the cans made in Barca can be as big as a dozen cans.
This one is easier to make, and lots of food goes in.
It was from the decision that it would be more convenient to stockpile villages and towns than to use them for personal use, or because they have more purposes for use in the military.
Also, I wanted to make it easy to open in pull tab format if it's true, but I haven't been able to do it technically yet.
For this reason, they also bother to make canned cuts.
"All right, let's make the can officially hired for now. Shall we experiment with how we can increase the variety of dishes?"
"Okay. Let's also increase the number of people for canning. If this spread, the number of people who will starve to death will be reduced."
"I hope so, but you won't be able to do it for a while. Handmade cans seem to take a lot of work to make. Then maybe we should let him make it outside of Barca."
I also thought I would make a fortune making the finished canning method in secret.
but unexpectedly there was also the problem of not being able to make numbers by hand.
If so, you might want to let them make it on other lands as well.
It would be better if it were also used as military food.
Thus, in the Kingdom of Fontana, the manufacture of cans began to a large extent.
This led to the establishment of more stable means of obtaining food than ever before.
