Chapter 18 - 18: It’s called ramen (5)
One day, a rumor began to circulate in the capital of the empire.
A magical powder had appeared that could make anything delicious when sprinkled on it.
At first, no one believed the story.
"Sprinkle it on something and it becomes delicious? How does that make sense?"
"If you want to make money from jokes, come up with a more plausible story."
A powder that tastes good when you sprinkle it on top of something, there's no way in the world that such a thing exists, right?
Ramen soup came close, but ramen soup was too spicy to eat on its own, so it was usually added to ramen noodles.
It was a far cry from the rumored magic powder.
As such, rumors of magic powder were considered to be like "culinary myths" in the back alleys of the capital.
It was like an urban legend that arose as people's interest in food increased with the advent of ramen but strangely enough, the stories of the magic powder never stopped.
From those who witnessed the magic powder to those who tasted it, there were many testimonies.
