Chapter 647 - The Issues With Such Delicacies

"Alright!

Now that everyone has a general sense of what to do, then let’s begin." Said a short robust dwarfish man, who excitedly grabbed a bluish looking bar from his table.

And even though his feet were covered by the podium, everyone already knew that he was standing on a stool behind the desk.

The man was very confident and didn’t feel himself lacking because of his short stature.

Instead, he would crack jokes here and there about his height and how he married a tall very woman and whatnot.

He was a classic comedic host to all.

"Now, now, I still see some people laughing at the back.

Playtime is over, so let’s get down to business.

To start off, everyone should please grab the product labelled ’Bay. Excellent 95% Cocoa dark chocolate’.

It looks like this! The latest_epi_sodes are on_the novelenglish.net . Fɪre.net

So please make sure that the name on the bar is the same as the one that I’ve mentioned.

Again, please answer the questions in the booklets involving this particular product honestly." Said the dwarfish man.

With that, they officially began taste-testing.

And the more products they tried, the clearer everyone’s preferences were.

.

In truth, Brian found out that he loved all the white chocolate brands, as well as all the bubblegum brands, and new drink types... which was just his preference since he had a sweet tooth.

He continuously chewed the yellowish Banana Juicy gum while closing his eyes in enjoyment.

"Your majesty!

They’re just too good!!!" Brian said, before pushing his glasses towards his face in a serious manner.

In fact, Landon felt like he almost saw a star-like twinkle at the edge of Brian’s glasses when he looked at him.

(*□^□)

"Your majesty... even though these products are good, there’s still a larger problem at hand with them."

"Oh?

Care to explain?"

"Of course your majesty.

Let’s take my case for example.

It’s a given that I love the white milkish chocolates and the dark ones with very low cocoa percentages in them.

But what if I went to the supermarket and got those with higher cocoa percentages instead?

Your majesty, if I had done so, I would probably give up on chocolate altogether.

So how are they going to make sure that everyone buys what they like?

Some people only give certain things a chance once.

And after they have a bad impression of it, it could take a long time before they try it again.

So what plan of actions will the industry take against that?" Brian asked seriously.

If it were him, after wasting money on what he didn’t like, he might just give up on the product and maybe only eat it again accidentally if a friend buys it or something.

Chocolates weren’t the same as drinks or even bubblegum.

Because with those, even If someone tried out one type of soft drink... the chances are that even if it wasn’t their favourite brand, they could still find the product passable or manageable.

So they won’t feel like their money has completely gone down the drain.

But with chocolates, what if someone with a sweet tooth bought 95% percent cocoa dark chocolate?

Ugh!

For a sweet-toothed person like himself, it was so bitter that he couldn’t even swallow a single thing.

The taste on his tongue was just too bitter for him.

Luckily, after eating every chocolate product, they were also given bubblegum to help them neutralize the taste.

In his opinion, it was just too awful!

But then again, there were those who would enjoy such products... especially the elderly.

.

Looking at Brian, Landon couldn’t help but smile broadly.

As expected of his secretary.

He too noticed that particular issue that had bugged the food industry several months ago.

But luckily, the whole dilemma had been solved without his aid.

That’s right!

Those within the industry came together and discussed the best mode of action to counter the issue.

And as for how they would go on about it, they decided to take advantage of the upcoming 3-day Water festival instead.

Yup!

This upcoming Thursday to Saturday night, the Baymardians had their usual water festival to thank the ancestors for the Spring rain which helped food grow abundantly.

They typically chose this period because summer was fast approaching and the rains had seemingly decreased greatly.

So it was a good time to celebrate.

Everyone got dressed up in the traditional Baymardian attire, which also acted as a cultural day too.

Hence they took it as a public holiday.

And so with that said, the food industry had decided to give free samples of today’s products to everyone.

Be it chocolates, bubblegum or the new drinks, the Baymardians and visitors would have a chance to taste these goods for themselves during the festival.

As well as to also see the difference between coffee that had cocoa added to it too.

In fact, even chocolate cakes would be made on that day as well.

Of course since it was only sample tasting, when it came to alcoholic drinks, they would only be able to take a single shot of it... Whether the alcohol percentage was high or not.

Landon chuckled while looking at Brian’s puzzled expression, as he brainstormed on the issue at hand... as if he was an employee within the food industry.

"Brian, are you attending the upcoming Water Festival?"

"Of course your majesty!

How can I not?

Wait!... does it have anything to do with these products?" Brian asked curiously.

"Who knows... Maybe you’ll find your answers there, you never can tell." Landon said mysteriously, before leaving the confused Brian behind in a waiting room just outside Lyore’s office.

.

"Your majesty, how was it?" Lyore asked anxiously.

One had to know that Landon’s opinions to him were very important.

After all, he was the creator of such godly delicacies.

So if he didn’t create them up to standard, then wouldn’t he have failed at his job?

His expression was that of a pitiful cat that had been deprived of food for days.

Sigh... in Landon’s opinion, Lyore’s eyes reminded him of Puss in ’Puss In Boots’.

Seeing him act shamelessly, Landon couldn’t be bothered... even though he was impressed by today’s results.

For months now, they had been working on these products, and Landon had personally taste-tested over 15 times now.

Of course, their goal was to get everything ready before the festival.

So this was the last taste-testing session.

And overall, they had improved greatly.

Hearing Landon’s opinion, Lyore quickly hugged him gleefully.

"Hahahhahahahhahaha!

That’s great your majesty.

Now, we will be ready for the festival."

(^_^)

The duo spoke for a bit more before Landon headed out with Brian.

Now he could finally relax.

Tonight, he would have the best sleep ever!

And just when he was about to step into his office, he heard an alert from the system.

’Ding!

New Side-Mission alert.

Warning to host: Mission needs to be completed tonight, or else death awaits the host.’

"^"

F***!
