108 4.32 The Martial Artist is Reborn. Wait... What? Another Twist? (1/2)

After I had cleared the dining hall and the kitchen especially the refrigerator, Pornsak sounded the horn as she had returned from the. market. I carried some stuff from the refrigerator that I thought had not much use and decided to empty them out since Pornsak had returned with a few plastics of goodies from the market.

I came out with the trash bag and helped Pornsak with the plastic bag filled with all sort of fruits, vegetables as well as some meat, poultry, fish and eggs. I placed everything in the kitchen table and placed the wet ones inside the sink.

”How was the market today? Seems you had made a quick round trip today and everything looked fresh.”

”There's not many people in the market even though it looks kind of bust at first. Managed to get everything and here's the balance of the money.”

She handed me a few crumpled notes and some coins and I was wondering how come she didn't place it inside her cleavage instead. But I think I'm not going to dive there if it smells like the market, would I? Haa... Haa... Haa...

**********

This is what I learnt from my mother if you want to keep your vegetables fresh. You lined a few paper towels inside a rectangular plastic container and place the vegetables such as spinach or kailan after cutting off their ends. Then place a few paper towels on top of the vegetables, cover them up and placed it at the most bottom part of the refrigerator. This way even though after a week the vegetables may look a bit lump, a soak in fresh water would revive them

**********

I cleaned up the fish, and since it was already gutted and descale, I placed each species of fish inside a Ziploc bag and place them in the freezer. Same goes to the prawns that had been beautifully butterfly-cut.

I guess this is the charm of a woman that affect the fishmonger to settle on what she demands I guess. Basically, all the seafood had been carefully preened and ready for storage or cooked in this event.

There was some bamboo kind of woven mini baskets that I used to store the kinds of fruits inside the refrigerator after I had rinsed them out.

Now the refrigerator looked rather lovely with all sort of colours and variety of fruits we can munch instead of mad passionate lovemaking sessions. Haa... Haa... Haa...

I thanked Pornsak for her efforts of going to the market and gave her a big fat kiss on her neck that made her snigger like a small girl.

”Don't do that or you going to make me wet and I want some later on. Remember you got an appointment with my uncle and as you said earlier, you are going to have a face-off with one or more students of his.”

I laughed at her when she remarked that I'm going to make her wet... Well, we are the in the kitchen, what else could get wet besides her hands from the sink. *rolling eyes* Haa... Haa... Haa...

”Yes, I know that. By the way, we still have some time before 10 am. How about I make you a fruit punch?” as I reached my hands over the kitchen cabinet and retrieve a fruit blender.

”That's great, make mine a surprise one...” she said as she left the kitchen before sliding her finger sensuously under my chin and sashayed her hips to the living room and plopped down on the sofa before switching on the TV.

I took the watermelon and cut the tip part lengthwise to make an opening that I intend to use it again to cover the fruit up. I used a small scoop device and made lots of mini scoops of watermelon balls and place them inside a small bowl.

I then took some strawberries that she had bought, added two red apples which I had decored, two ripe tomatoes and yellow lemon. I placed the watermelon after I had scooped its contents back into the fridge.

Together with 1 decored and skinned red apple, a few strawberries, 1 ripe tomato and half bowl of watermelon, I turned them into blended juice in the juicer after adding a cupful of ice together. The juice was poured into a tall glass and I squeeze a few drops of lemon in it and inserted a straw.

I repeated the same process and made mine as well. The scraps of fruits were then placed into a small receptacle which is in one of the sinks so that whatever wet contents would not drip on the floor. So it would be settled by the part-time housekeeper later on.

I brought the tall glass filled with ice cold fruit blend and handed one to her and she had it in both hands and sat crossed legged on the sofa and leaned against me.

”This is very nice, I like it very much. Do you know how to make blended milk fruit? It's nice to have them once in a while to cleanse the colon.”

”Yes, I know how to do that. I'm a bit of lactose intolerant and have to get the low lactose milk instead. I don't have stock in the fridge right now but I could get some in the way back later.”

”Sure... Ahhh... This is refreshing. I like the sweet and sour taste of this drink,” she said as she sipped and her face cringed at the sourness of the lemon that I had just squeeze on top of her drink.

We watched some news on the telly and its already time for us to move out. Pornsak called her uncle that we would be moving out and arrive some 20 minutes later at her uncle's place.After she hung up, we placed our empty tall glass of fruit juice on the living room's coffee table and went straight to the bike.

After I got the coordinates on getting there we purred out on my Honda Vario and reached the main street. After riding for some time in the mid-morning traffic, we reached Pornsak's Uncle's place in under 25 minutes.

It was not actually called home but rather like a mini temple with large red wooden doors that seemed to be protected and locked from the inside. A man-sized statue was placed near the side entrance of the wooden red doors and it depicted a man fighting in Muay Thai manner.

I was thinking of a house or a temple of some sort but was taken aback as it looked like a training ground for Muay Thai competitive fighters.

I raised the large ring knob and slammed it thrice and soon the door opened and a small boy with shaven head peeked out. After recognising the girl beside me, he opened the door wide and invited us and smiled meekly. He clasped his hands under his chin and bowed to us and we returned back the gestures.

When we walked inside, the flat ground was as large as a basketball court. A wingchun statue was in the middle of the courtyard and there were a few sandbags hung from a bodhi tree. There was a weapons rack that consists of short staffs, cudgels, spears with short metal tips and some with broader tips that looked like a blade at the end.

We entered and reached the entrance of the house/temple doors before Pornsak's uncle came out and greeted us. We clasped our heads under the chins and bowed to him.

”Welcome to Twin Tiger Muay Thai Training Camp of Pattaya...” the Benevolent Monk spread his hands as he mentioned the name of his prestigious training ground to us. It was my first time entering such place and Pornsak didn't seem to be moved at all.

”Thank you, Benevolent Monk. I wasn't expecting of such a grand place, I thought it was like a house like mine with a driveway et cetera.” I remarked as I was astonished that Pornsak's uncle had the financial capacity to own one such training ground.
