Chapter 1230 - A New Snack?
Chapter 1230 - A New Snack?
“ah!…Your majesty! Your majesty, welcome!” Said overseer Lyore, who kept smiling from molar to molar with a few scattered crumbs around his mouth.
(-_-)
Landon looked at him and had black lines form on his face.
What kind of overseer was this?
Lyore looked like a child who got caught stealing snacks after being told not to touch them.
Looking at the ?du?t kid before him, Landon truly felt that maybe the reason why Lyore continuously stuck to being Overseer was just so that he could continue eating as many free samples as he could.
Landon had no evidence, but he felt it to be true..
Lyore quickly touched the sides of his jaws and wiped out the crumbs shamelessly after Jennie had signalled him.
“Hahhaha~~ Your majesty, I didn’t expect you so soon. But enough about me. What about you? Are you fine? Are you preparing for the big day?” Lyore said while patting Landon’s back awkwardly.
Of course, he was trying to distract Landon’s attention from his ‘snack break incident.’
Landon knew his intentions and secretly chuckled helplessly.
Well, this was typical Lyore for you. So wasn’t he already used to his nature by now?
Landon looked at the doc.u.ment handed to him and couldn’t help frowning hard.
“Lyore… Take me through your entire line.”
“Yes, your majesty!”
Like so, Lyore led Landon in. And now, it was time to get serious!
.
~DrrruuDrrrru~~~
The loud industrial sounds of machines churning and doing their magic bombarded Landon’s ear the moment he walked in.
Okay, but this project S.C… What exactly was it?
Well, it stood for sandwiched cookies!
That’s right. During the last research mania, someone had come up with the genius idea of creating an Oreo sort of Cookie.
So, in other words, they had just made Oreos.
This was something that seemed too simple to think of, yet no one had thought of it before then… Or rather, maybe they did but didn’t think it wasn’t suited for industrial production.
And for a while now, the food industry has been researching and working on the correct formulas, additives, catalysts and raw materials to use.
Additionally, how long would it last before expiring?
So many things were tested and studied in the lab to get to where they did today.
And now, they had made a mouth-watering fusion of crunch and cream, which they asked Landon to name as an honour.
Of course, it was just like Oreo. So what other name could he give it?
The moment he named it, everyone felt like the name fitted the fusion biscuit.
Thinking about it, Landon couldn’t wait for them to start dunking the cookie in milk when munching it in future because that was a tasty tradition.
And Landon felt that the person who started the tradition back on earth, must’ve been one smart cookie!
.
Well, they stood at the second stage of the production line, since saw material delivery was indeed the first stage.
Now, Lyore became overly serious, as he was revealing a second persona of himself.
He pointed at the workers who were now standing close to the many giant machines.
“Your majesty. Our process starts with pure granulated sugar. After all the research and testing done, we found that this sort of sugar gave us a richer composition, flavour and hold we need for the job.”
“Hmmm” Landon nodded in agreement. He, too, would’ve used PURE granulated sugar… Meaning it was organic.
“Your majesty, our process starts with several bags of the sugar sent into the mixer in preparation to whip up the batter. And following that, we add two types of cocoa powder. The combination will give the biscuit its d?s?r?d taste and colour.”
Landon listened and had no problems with the stages now. He felt that they had a good handle of things from what he had seen.
“Your majesty, following that, we add a premix of salt and other ingredients. And lastly, we also add a specially formulated oil mixture that will transform these dry ingredients into a batter, as the huge beaters in the mixer blend everything.”
Landon frowned: “Stop. Give me the list of the other ingredients added in with the salt, as well as those fused with the specially formulated oil.”
“Yes, your majesty!” Jennie said while flipping a few pages of the doc.u.ment in her hand before shoving it to Landon obediently.
“Pencil.”
“Yes!”
“Hmm…” Landon hummed, focusing his full attention on the list.
.
Gulp.
The duo beside him just stared in silence, with their heart almost beating out of their ?h?sts.
Their palms turned sweaty with wordy.
And their minds quickly drifted away, going over the ingredients and reasons why they added them.
Oh, dear… Did they do too much? Did they make a mistake by adding some of them? What about the ratio? Were the proportions alright? Though they had tested and found that they didn’t have any tummy aches or diarrhea after tasting a few samples, who knows if the side effects were something else other than this?
Their faces turned pale when thinking of all sorts of possibilities.
They were like students now waiting for their final grades to come out.
Landon finished up, slowly lifted his head and chuckled at their expressions.
“Overall, there isn’t much to change. But you need to remove x.x.x, add a little more of x, change the ratio here to better the results, and limit the use of xx by 12%.”
“Yes, your majesty!” The duo said obediently.
.
With that, they continued their discussion on the production line.
Of course, after mixing the ingredients for a while, before adding water.
And almost immediately, the batter started to look like chocolate soup.
But that wasn’t all. Dry ice was later added to lower the temperature for when they needed to add flour later on.
In short, the entire process was a rigorous one.
But all in all, Landon was proud of how far they had come.
They actually created Oreos!
~Clap. Clap. Clap. Clap. Clap.~
Bravo. Bravo.
Yes! Soon, the world will know the joy of dunking cookies in milk.
Look. Even Santa Claus loved it.
Why… That’s the reason why people leave cookies and milk out on Christmas eve, okay?
