603: Chocolate

Chocolate

Chocolate!

Heaven knows how long Landon had been waiting for it to be a thing.

One should know that it usually took a cocoa tree 3.5 to 5 years just to mature.

Of course during this entire time, they had been growing the cocoa in a massive controlled greenhouse environment... Were they controlled the heat, temperature, soil moisture, acidity and so on.

Now that the first batch was ready, it was time to make new delicacies.

Landon looked at his watch and decided to enter the system's space to draw out some plans.

Right now, he had only 3 and a half more hours before his next appointment.

So he had decided to use the system's space where time was relatively different from the real world, and quickly write out production manuals for these new delicacies.

'Warp!'

Just like that, he disappeared into thin air.... leaving an empty spinning chair behind.

'System... I'd like to buy several formulas for at least 15 types of chocolates out there.

I want the 15% Cocoa, Toasted white Chocolate bar, Lindor roasted Almond black chocolate, Kinder Surprise Chocolate recipe.....'

Landon went on to list different types of chocolates that he knew of.

Of course, he wanted a variety of them which would please people from all age groups.

Some people loved bitter chocolates the most, while others loved sweet ones... And the additives and chemical compounds used within each type sometimes varied too.

So it was always best to get the right formula no matter what.

He had also wanted the kinder surprise chocolate because he would manufacture them for Easter and other special events.

And now with chocolates, Valentine's day would never be the same again.

Also... All this while, they had been making coffee without using any cocoa powder.

Landon had previously gotten some recipes from the system just for that.

But now that cocoa was available, coffee wouldn't be the same again.

In short, there were so many uses of Cocoa, that Landon looked forward to.

Like chocolate cakes, chocolate ice cream and many more.

Sigh.... cocoa was life.

.

Landon decided that making chocolate alone can't enough.

This time, the food industry would really need to step up its game for what was about to come.

'System...In addition to that, I would also like to buy the proper recipe for making Juicy Fruit Bubblegum, Trident Mint Gum and Trident Original Flavour Gum.

Also, I want the formulas for 2 popular dog foods back on earth.

And I'll pay for the formulas using my Bonus Points (B.P)'

'As you wish host.'

It didn't take long before Landon properly assimilated the information given to him.

The system's formulas were really better, as they generally eliminated most toxic compounds that were still left within those earthly recipes.

How wonderful!

He quickly took out several notebooks and began writing like crazy.

Be it what equipment would be needed for manufacturing these goods, or the actual manufacturing procedure... land on wrote everything down in a jiffy.

He wrote each procedure in separate notebooks, and also wrote equipment design for each type in separate books as well.

This way, each department or sector can do their jobs properly without interfering with one another.

Landon wrote as fast as he could, before warping back with all the notebooks...That were more than 35 in number at this point.

'Bam!'

As soon as he got back to his office, all the books fell to the floor as if they had dropped out of thin air.

"Your majesty... Are you alright?" Brian answered in concern before forcibly opening the door.

He was truly worried that Landon might've injured himself... or worse, what if a spy had secretly attacked him?

He had watched the new James Bond movie and knew how dangerous these secret agents really were.

"Your majesty, is it the work of a secret agent?"

(~_~)

Landon looked at Brain helplessly.

Bro... You watch too many movies!

Seeing all the books scattered around Landon, Brain quickly helped him pick them up, and stacked them at the corner of the table.

"Brain... Get a trolley and send in some men to help me carry these books to the Range Rover XD."

"Yes, your majesty!"

'Bam!'

With that, the spy fanatic had finally left the office.

And after 17 more minutes, every book had been properly kept in Landon's car.

"I will be going to the Food industry... So if you need me before then, contact them.

And don't worry, I will be present for my next appointment as well." Landon said to Brain, before finally taking off.

.

Vrrrrrrmmmmmmmm!'

Landon drove merrily towards the food industry on the not so very busy roads.

It was just 9:50 in the morning, and most of the traffic had already died down since most were already at work, in school, at home, or still engaged with other activities here and there.

Arriving at his destination, Landon stepped out of his car, shut his door and walked towards Lyore's office.2

"Hahahhahahahahh!

Your Majesty, you're finally here!

Come! Come! Come!

Let me show you our newly harvested supply of cocoa beans!" Lyore said excitedly while pulling Landon's hands like a 4 year-old-kid.

All the secretaries and workers who saw this couldn't help but smile wryly when they saw their boss's actions.

Even after so many years, their boss was still as childish as ever when it came to food.

Sigh.....

Landon who was used to Lyore, allowed himself to be dragged up and down like a lifeless doll.

At this point, what could he do?

"Look! Look! Look, your majesty!

Here they are!

Ahh..... Their smell is still strong and really makes my tummy grumble." Lyore said while caressing the cocoa beans in one of the sacs.

He brought one bean closer to his nose and took a big whiff, before finally biting into it.

'Crack!'

His face twisted a bit, and he now looked somewhat troubled.

"Your majesty... The only problem I have with it is that Its glorious smell really contradicts its bitter taste.

So how will this be able to market well?

Your majesty... Didn't you promise me that this cocoa bean will be a sensation?

With how bitter it tastes, how am I supposed to use this and build my food house?

Your majesty, you are just too mean!!" Lyore said while pouting and acting as if he wanted to cry.

(TT□TT)

Landon looked at Lyore and felt even more helpless.

"Trust me Lyore... It will be a sensation!

Now... Let me show you my production plans."
