Chapter 352

"Here's a new offering that's more about maintaining health than it is about ...... beauty."

"Hm. The way you put it, it's about keeping beauty by maintaining health?"

Her Majesty the Empress Matilda gazed at the liquid in the cup with great interest.

'Yes, as you say, Your Majesty. This is the 'amazake' that we have begun to produce in Bardia, and if you consume a cup of it on a daily basis, you will be able to maintain your health and, as a result, your beauty."

When I smiled and showed a business smile, the sparkle of interest in His Majesty Matilda's eyes increased.

The maids around her are also looking at the cup containing the ...... "amazake".

The second highlight of this year's offering is the amazake, which is made from rice purchased from Renalute and processed in the Bardia territory.

In this world, the idea that "food builds the body" is still not common,......, and basically, if you can care about your health through food, it is probably only the nobility or the wealthy among the commoners to a certain extent.

In the first place, it is difficult to pay attention to one's diet in order to maintain good health.

Unfortunately, it is not a world where food is so abundant that one can go to a convenience store or supermarket and choose the food of one's choice within five or ten minutes, as in the previous world.

In such a situation, it is unrealistic for the average commoner to be concerned about his or her daily diet and to choose from a wide variety of foodstuffs.

However, as long as one has the money and the desire, it is possible to have a healthy diet even in this world.

In particular, the Imperial Capital is the center of goods and ingredients from home and abroad, so it is possible to cook a variety of dishes as long as you don't mind spending money.

In fact, it is said that aristocrats and wealthy citizens in the capital are already spending money on "luxurious and delicious meals" rather than healthy meals.

In other words, the "food market" already exists in the capital.

If we offer a new genre of "healthy food and cuisine that leads to beauty," there will surely be customers who will take a bite out of it.

However, even if one claims that "a glass of amazake a day has health and beauty benefits," it is unlikely to gain explosive popularity.

Since the product will be sold through Christie Trading Company, which handles cosmetics, it is unlikely that it will not sell at all.

But if they are going to do it, they should make moves to establish a firm position in an untapped market.

And the key to this is the Empress Matilda, who is in front of us now.

Then the maid who had been standing by her side steps forward.

'Well then, I will drink once regarding that matter. After that, I will give it to Her Majesty Matilda. It is settled, so please pardon me."

She bailed with a beautiful gesture as she said this.

She is Melia, my personal maid. Please don't take it personally."

Her Majesty Matilda adds apologetically.

'It's outrageous, Your Majesty. It's only natural. Now then, Melia-san. Please sample this cup of 'amazake' with this silver spoon."

I see. ...... Then, excuse me."

The silver spoon is a very good choice for the cup.

Everyone in the room watched with bated breath.

If there is any concern about amazake, it is the taste.

In the Magnolia Empire, it is not customary to eat rice.

Since this is the imperial capital, you can probably find it as an imported product if you look for it.

However, there are probably only a few people who go out of their way to eat rice, so it is likely that this is the first time they have tasted rice.

Still, the odds are literally stacked against "amazake.

Eventually, Melia muttered, "This is ......," and rolled her eyes.

'......? Melia. What's wrong?" His Majesty Matilda tilted her head at her words and actions.

"No, I was just surprised at how 'sweet' it was. There is nothing wrong with the taste."

The nobles are in an uproar at her comment, and Her Majesty Matilda's eyes light up even more.

Yes, although it is a bit unique, "amazake" is literally sweet.

In this world, sweet food is precious and limited.

Therefore, it is only natural that "amazake" would attract attention when it is discovered that it is an unknown "kind of sweetness.

The air in the audience hall became tense as His Majesty Matilda accepted the sweet wine and the silver spoon from Melia and said, "Well, let's eat.

I myself am trying to act nonchalant, but my heart is still beating.

I had already made some preliminary arrangements, but in the end, it was up to Her Majesty Matilda to make the final decision.

Soon after, she smiled and relaxed her mouth.

This is a flavor I have not tasted before, but it is very sweet and easy to eat. It's a wonderful food that can be eaten every day for its beauty benefits."

"......⁉ Thank you. Thank you very much. I am very pleased that it suits your taste".

I bailed out in awe, but inwardly I was excited.

I could think that I had passed the first hurdle, but I was sure that the next question would probably come from the nobleman or His Majesty Matilda.

As I was bracing myself, sure enough, a man of medium height and medium stature among the nobles raised his hand and said, "May I? Matilda, Your Majesty."

She raised her eyebrows, as if she had been interrupted.

"What is it ......? Count Roland".

"I beg your pardon, Your Majesty. I am afraid there is no concrete explanation yet as to why this 'amazake' can maintain one's health if consumed on a daily basis. Since there is no concrete explanation yet, I think it is a little early to make an assessment."

He said this with awe and glanced at me with a disgusted look.

The nobles around me also made a gesture of agreement.

Her Majesty Matilda, too, is not unkind and unkind about this point of view, but nods calmly, "Hmmm,......, you certainly have a point," and hides her mouth with a fan.

Then, he looks at me as if testing me.

Hmmm, once again I felt I could understand why Father and Chris disliked him.

I can't shake the impression that they underestimate him because he is a child.

However, compared to Glade and the Marquis Berluti, I felt that they were not very thorough in their points of view, or that they were too sagacious and stingy.

But for now, I should be grateful to Count Roland for bringing the situation into the direction I wanted it to go.

Thinking this, I smiled at him.

"Count Laurent's point of view is quite reasonable," he said. May I explain that point to you as well?"

Oh, yes. So you are saying that there is evidence that this "amazake" is linked to health maintenance and beauty benefits? Very well, let me hear it.

Her Majesty Matilda hid her mouth with a fan and her eyes shone brightly.

I nodded my head and chuckled as I muttered to myself, "Okay, just as planned .......
