After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World - Chapter 460

Chapter 460: New Products
Ansel was unperturbed. “Sure. It’ll be sold soon, and you’ll see what you’ve been missing.

The Golds looked at each other a little reluctant but decided to give the benefit of the doubt. After all, from what they’ve seen so far, Altera seemed perfectly capable of exceeding all sorts of expectations.

The aborigines really couldn’t be blamed for their reluctance. To them, white juice was akin to drinking tree resin directly from tree trunks.

Anyway, this wasn’t discussed anymore as it was finally their turn to taste.

“Free taste for cheese! Take a bite to know what our new products are like!” The clerk said, handing them a thin bread—a cracker, they called it—with a tiny cube of yellow-white thing.

The gorgeous thing touched their tastebuds and it melted in their mouths. “Yum!” Honda exclaimed and the adult’s eyes were also wide, impressed.

They also tasted the other products and although it wasn’t as special as the so-called cheese, they were also interesting and they bought a few sets as well.

“You like that?” Ansel asked, “Well, Broat Milk Cheese is several times creamier!”

The imagination alone made them gulp a bit.

They also passed by the tea section and took a bit of everything. They didn’t know what some of them were but considering how the locals were sweeping everything, they must be good.

Soon, they arrived at the long-awaited condiment areas and saw a dizzying array of sauces and condiments. There were signs in front so they knew what was in the vats. There were vats of salt, sugar, soy sauce, vinegar, chilli, and so much more.

Otto’s eyes stayed on the salt and sugar in particular. These were very important condiments that could be traded as if they were gold!

And here… they were so affordable!

Then he remembered the residents would also get huge discounts and his urge to just register here was tickled.

Olga though had a different focus. “It would be great to know how to use them all!” She said, looking dreamy.

To their surprise, someone shopping (a random person with a cart, really) suddenly turned to look at them.

“Hello there! I couldn’t help but overhear… there is actually a way to learn, but for a price.”

“We’re interested!”

“There’s actually there’s a cooking class that opens from 18:00 to 20:00 every day and they teach about how to use these. The price is very cheap! For foreigners, it is only 10 gold per person for a week, 3 lessons of 2 hours each!” Of course, locals could get it a little cheaper, but still expensive.

Only basics would be taught. After all, everyone in Terran knew some recipes, so might as well make money off of them.

However, while expensive in the Terrans’ perspective, this price was already unbelievable to the Aborigines. After all, everyone kept their knowledge to themselves in Xeno!

“Really? So affordable?”

“Yes!” The woman said, telling them the address of the class.

They made a mental note to take a look.

The random passerby then excused herself and continued with her shopping, and the Golds looked interestedly at Ansel. “So generous?”

Ansel shrugged, “We don’t mind. Back in our home, most people know the basics, but the business of restaurant owners remained to be strong. The market is huge, we’re not worrying at all.”

They nodded. In fact, this was really smart. This meant that more food stalls or restaurants could pop up. When Altera received more Aborigines, then it could easily become one of the culinary capitals in the region!

The party stayed on the ground floor for a bit longer and, after perusing the food aisles, they went to the upper floors to look at the non-food items.

The products here were a bit different from before, though. The cloths were moved to a different fabric shop, which was opened a week prior on the new Market street.

The floor was now mainly for the so-called hygiene items, and there was someone introducing the products, albeit it wasn’t needed unless there were aborigines. Either way, the items were just being swept away by Terrans, like everything else.

The person brightened at the sight of obvious aborigines, and—finally with some sense of existence— she friendly walked towards them and explained the products.

“Welcome to the hygiene section where everything you need to clean your house, your clothes, and yourself are available!”

Her name was Sisa, and she was known for her very tanned skin and perennial smile.

Otto stepped forward, “Tell us more,” he said with a smile, and Sisa almost melted then and there.

However, she was a professional! She gathered herself quickly like re-hardened melted soap and introduced the section she was in charge of.

She began by showing them a section of translucent bars of different colors and shapes. For the most part, they were plain shapes like rounded rectangles but with odd curves.

“This is soap! It will clean anything! This one though is formulated to be gentle on the body, but also kill bacteria! It also smells nice!” She said, though at the back of her mind, she added ‘I don’t mind becoming your soap though~’

“The shape is ergonomic design to stay in your hand and minimize slipping out~!”

She then proceeded to elongate ceramic bottles with odd nozzles on top.

“Shampoo is like soap, but for hair. It also smells very nice and comes in different scents! It will make your hair smoother, healthier, and smell lovely!” Then she would add in her mind ‘May I also become your shampoo who comforts your scalps and tangles with your blonde locks’

“We also have detergents to clean your house, and some to clean your clothes,” she said, “We also have fabric softeners to keep your clothing soft and lovely!”

“This is a toothpaste, to keep your teeth healthy and white!” She didn’t know what aborigines used though. Magic?

Can she ask? How do they clean their teeth?

Sisa didn’t ask in the end (she was afraid the illusion of perfection would be pierced) and she just pointed at small pieces of cotton, folded into squares. “There are also sanitary napkins. The one that women wear when bleeding… Very comfortable and convenient!”

She didn’t know how much Aborigines bleed, but this was a superior product to Terran because Ms. Althea feared their stronger bodies would also release more.

As the woman babbled, the Gold siblings listened intently, as if trying to memorize everything she said.

Oslo laughed at his siblings’ silly appearances.

Ah, he didn’t love Altera in vain.

He could actually witness his overachieving siblings look stupid!
