Chapter 41 - 41. First Day Operations For Beauty World (1/2)
”Alright, this are the cutting boards and knives in front of you. Please do not mess around here ok, these things are sharp and can cut and hurt you real bad. I'm going to show you an example first and you would all follow. Once it's done, dump the whole contents inside this huge barrel here and I would carry them inside later.”
The 9 empty barrel was being used to line the pathway from the main path right up to the house. This is being used to decorate the place and also to convert it to seats for those busybodies who wanted to know what we are doing.
Patricia has helped to harvest the lavender flowers and placed them into a huge basket and was brought into my room. She then observed me sliced the citrus into thin slices and then dumped the contents inside the barrel.
”Just assist me here and I'd be in my room to set up somethings. I would be back in an hour.” I said to Patricia as I head into the room and locked the door from within. Soon, I meditated and went into the Realm of Mind where I swiped the scene before me and made a new blank one.
I visualised 2 huge half-dome glass distiller and filled it with water. This should contain about 50 litres of plain water. I then placed a white cloth and cover the whole opening and placed all the lavender flowers inside it. A small bunsen burner was used just like before and was set to medium flame. A timer was set at the LPG tank and it will cut off the supply after 9 hours of distilling. I replaced the cover of the other half of the dome glass snugly.
The other half-dome glass distiller had already been filled with water and on standby for the extraction of the next ingredient, the sliced citrus. The bunsen burner was lit like a small flame to warm the water up and would be ready when the citrus had been sliced up and ready for the process.
Before I logged off I went to the Fusion Chamber and saw the porcelain bottle that I had bought earlier was still the and the settings were set as before. I checked the counter and set it to 1,000, closed the door and turned the lever. I also took with me another 20 empty wooden crates that I had placed inside my storage bag.
I emerged from the room and the children are hard at work and I told Patricia to monitor them as I walked out to the local marketplace. I checked with the local bakery and ordered 6 different kinds of bread twice at 10 am and 230pm daily to be sent to the Beauty World aka The White House till the end of the month.
I asked for the amount and informed the owner to collect from Patricia later on. The bread costs 1 credit each and just for the remaining 10 days of the month, the amount payable was only 120 credits.
At least the children break time had been settled and now it is time to think about the lunch and dinner for the Keating's household. Since today was the start of the operational of Beauty World, I should better be doing some marketing on my own.
I went about to the marketplace and discussed with one of the merchants to supply us with 5 kg of sweet potatoes, yam, green Musa belle, green plantain and tapioca every week and I paid a total of 75 credits for these and this could be made steam, grilled or fried and each day would be a variants of these.
Stocks of a dozen smoked fish, a dozen eggs, an assortment of fresh vegetables, 1kg of plain flour, a small slab of fat, butter, condiments and 2 kg of rice would be brought in every 2 days for the moment. As for these, it would be delivered by 6 pm and the payment would be collected through Patricia.
After I had my rounds, I returned to the Great Hall alone and Prius was there greeting me in his usual manner. ”You're alone today, Pat is supervising those children?” Prius asked as stood up and walked towards me and gave me a pat on the shoulders.
