Chapter 345: Chapter 321: A Must-Buy! Xuanfeng Factory’s Base Salary Starts at 20,000?

Huang City heard what the people around him were saying and nodded in agreement.

’Who in their right mind would buy a bottle of essence for several hundred yuan?’

Since it was free to use, he figured he’d give it a try. But buy it? No way.

With that thought, he started cleaning the ingredients and got busy at the small stove.

He tossed in the ingredients, stir-fried them, and added salt and essence!

It was a very simple, home-cooked meal. Of course, this was all Huang City knew how to do. After all, he was just a "rectangular solid object directional movement engineer," with no time to research such things.

He quickly stir-fried two dishes and boiled a bowl of noodles for himself.

The simple ingredients didn’t cost much.

’It’s just that this Xuanfeng Alliance tourist area is so unprofessional.’

’The park is open, but they actually expect tourists to cook their own food.’

Grumbling internally, he picked up a bowl, served himself some noodles, and started eating.

"Huh? What’s going on?"

After just two bites, a strange expression appeared on his face.

The noodles and vegetables didn’t taste like something he had made.

It wasn’t that they tasted worse; they tasted better. Much better. The flavor was incredible, with an indescribable savory quality.

It was as if the meal had been prepared by a master chef.

But he was certain that he had cooked the dishes and noodles himself.

So why was it so delicious?

He subconsciously glanced at the bottles of Xuanfeng Essence and Xuanfeng Fine Salt.

And it wasn’t just Huang City.

Right next to him, several other tourists were exclaiming in surprise:

"Dude, your cooking has really improved! This is master chef level!"

"When did you secretly start practicing? The food you made me before was awful."

"I haven’t been practicing. My cooking has always been this way..."

"I think it’s the essence and salt. Look at the description on the bottle..."

"..."

Drawn in by their conversation, Huang City instinctively picked up the bottles of Xuanfeng Fine Salt and Xuanfeng Essence to take a look:

Special Xuanfeng Fine Salt: This is a salt crafted with a process unique to the Xuanfeng Alliance, formulated with... and other ingredients. Its use will make your food more delicious.

Special Xuanfeng Essence: This is an essence crafted with a process unique to the Xuanfeng Alliance, formulated with... and other ingredients. Its use will make your food more delicious and savory.

’So, in other words, the reason my dishes and noodles taste like they were made by a master chef is all because of this essence and salt?’

Everyone who realized this looked at each other in disbelief, but the proof was right in front of them.

Every tourist who cooked using Xuanfeng Essence and Xuanfeng Fine Salt found that their cooking skills had improved.

At first, some thought they’d just had an unusually good day in the kitchen. But after learning that many other tourists had the same experience, they had no choice but to admit it was the effect of the Xuanfeng Essence and Xuanfeng Fine Salt, however reluctant they were to believe it.

’Salt and essence can do this?’ Huang City was incredulous. ’If this is true, will anyone ever cook a bad meal again?’

He, for one, knew his cooking had never been great, but now it was at a master chef’s level.

A tourist nearby stood up abruptly. "Hold on, I’m going to go ask where we can buy this Xuanfeng Fine Salt and Xuanfeng Essence."

"Didn’t you just say you wouldn’t be caught dead buying that salt and essence?" another person teased.

The man quickly replied, "You must have misheard. I definitely didn’t say that."

Huang City looked at the bottles of essence and salt, feeling a similar urge to buy them.

’Even though he didn’t earn much from his job, this essence and salt were just too amazing. One bottle should last at least a month, right?’

At this thought, he silently finished the noodles in his bowl and went over to see what information he could get.

Who would have thought that a crowd of tourists had already gathered around a staff member, asking about the "Special Xuanfeng Essence" and "Special Xuanfeng Fine Salt."

Huang City was speechless. ’Weren’t a lot of these people the same ones who’d sworn up and down they wouldn’t buy any? Why are they all crowding around now?’

He conveniently forgot that he’d had the exact same thought just moments before.

It wasn’t just the Xuanfeng Essence and Xuanfeng Fine Salt.

The Xuanfeng Sauce was equally astonishing.

Besides those cooking meals, many tourists had also rented barbecue grills, and they were the ones who needed the Xuanfeng Sauce.

At one of the barbecue stations.

Two men were already busy grilling, washing vegetables, and cleaning seafood.

Nearby, two women were waiting to be fed.

This spoke volumes about the two men’s low rank in their respective relationships.

They were clearly a couple of poor saps who had been dragged to the Xuanfeng Alliance by their girlfriends.

After all, their girlfriends were here to buy Xuanfeng Facial Masks, and even though they were surrounded by beautiful women at the Xuanfeng Alliance, they didn’t dare to sneak a single glance.

Their girlfriends wanted barbecue, but the park didn’t sell any, so they had no choice but to rent a grill and make it themselves.

A man’s life is hard.

One of the women suddenly pointed to the Xuanfeng Sauce on a small nearby table. "Hey, is this a sauce made by the Xuanfeng Alliance?"

The other woman said, "Hmm, open it and let’s see."

A little sauce would obviously make the barbecue taste better.

Curious, the two women picked up the bottle of Xuanfeng Sauce from the table.

One woman opened the sauce and handed it to the man at the grill. "Honey, try using this Xuanfeng Sauce and see how it tastes."

The man, also curious, took the Xuanfeng Sauce, brushed some onto a grilled octopus tentacle, and handed it to his girlfriend.

The woman took the tentacle, popped it in her mouth, and began to chew. Her eyes lit up, and she exclaimed, "This Xuanfeng Sauce is amazing! Honestly, I’ve never tasted a sauce this good."

This piqued the other woman’s interest.

The two men were curious now, too.

"Is it really that good?"

"Let me try."

"..."

The man at the grill cooked an octopus tentacle for each of them and brushed it with Xuanfeng Sauce.

They each took a bite.

A moment later, the other three were all nodding in agreement.

"This Xuanfeng Alliance sauce is really good. It’s so much better than the ones we buy at home."

"Definitely. You can tell right away. It’s even better than Larmon, the world’s number one sauce. And it really whets your appetite."

"It’s unbelievable that the Xuanfeng Alliance has such a delicious sauce. From now on, I can just boil some noodles at home and they’ll taste amazing."

"Yeah, this Xuanfeng Sauce is really something else. We should grab a few bottles to take home."

A truly great flavor is unmistakable to anyone who tastes it. Your taste buds don’t lie—unless you’re sick.

Clearly, the Xuanfeng Sauce was the real deal.

When you come across a product like this, not buying some to take home would be a waste of an international trip.

Throughout the various tourist areas in the Xuanfeng Alliance, the same scene was playing out among all the tourists cooking their own meals and barbecuing.

Without exception, everyone discovered the incredible effects of the Xuanfeng Alliance’s three products.

With attributes like Deliciousness +1, Savory +1, and Appetite +1, many people who normally had poor appetites found that even their own mediocre cooking tasted incredibly delicious and appetizing.

In a short amount of time, more and more tourists couldn’t resist posting on social media, eager to tell everyone about the amazing things they’d discovered at the Xuanfeng Alliance.

And just like that, because of these tourists’ enthusiastic recommendations, the Xuanfeng Sauce, Xuanfeng Essence, and Xuanfeng Fine Salt exploded in popularity online back home.

The price tag of over 500 yuan for a bottle of Xuanfeng Essence or Xuanfeng Fine Salt made many people’s jaws drop.

But even more people, upon hearing about the effects of the Xuanfeng Essence and Xuanfeng Fine Salt, were eager to try them. After all, one bottle could last a month. If they were really that magical, what was a little extra money each month?

In no time, the internet was flooded with posts from people looking to buy the products.

This also led some people to spot a business opportunity. They began reselling the products, and soon, shops all over the Xuanfeng Alliance that sold the three items were completely bought out.

And when these resellers discovered the Xuanfeng Alliance had its own dedicated duty-free shops, they went into a frenzy.

In a very short time, the Xuanfeng Essence, Xuanfeng Fine Salt, and Xuanfeng Sauce sold out at an unbelievable rate.

The factories couldn’t keep up with production.

Of course, those were the quick-witted ones.

Someone like Huang City would never think of such a thing. After leaving the park, his only thought was to find a construction site and get his brick-laying job sorted out.

Otherwise, more people would soon pour in from back home. Even if the women in the Xuanfeng Alliance were famously single, there would still be plenty of men like him willing to find work and even settle down here.

The longer he waited, the fiercer the competition would be.

But as Huang City arrived at a construction site and was about to enter, he saw a series of recruitment ads playing on a large outdoor screen:

"Xuanfeng Facial Mask Factory is hiring 15,000 employees. Requirements: Female... Salary: 20,000+ per month + full attendance bonus + performance bonus..."

"Xuanfeng Seasonings Factory is hiring 20,000 employees. Requirements: ... Salary: 20,000+ per month + full attendance bonus + performance bonus..."

"???" When Huang City saw the recruitment ads, his eyes widened in utter shock.

’A factory job? With a starting base salary of 20,000?’

My god!
