Chapter 56 - 56. Rebecca Becky Joins The Workforce (1/2)
After dinner, we cleared up our plates in the washbasin and went out of the Great Hall. As we pushed the trolleys, my idea worked as people began to ask what we are transporting and then the children entertain the queries, those folks can't help but felt refreshed when they smelled the sweet scent that emanated from the wooden crates.
It was like opening a treasure chest and the things inside it were even better than jewels and credits. The ladies stopped is and we, in turn, gave the information. Even Prius engaged in small talk with them and they are interested to patronise our store. After several names were mentioned for referral, they were convinced of the wellness of these products...
We reached out store and Prius was looking at it with awe. It was a neat white coloured store with a small light yellow canopy above the main door. I went inside and threw the light switch up and the whole placed lighted in its own splendour. It was on top of a small knoll and with its mellow lighting, everyone can see clearly from a distance.
We pushed the trolley inside and I stacked the products accordingly since the glass counter had castor wheels and can be moved easily. After I had made the stacks of wooden crate according to their types, I then removed half a dozen each and arranges them on the 5 tiered glass showcase on the left and right, leaving some spaces for the 'X4Li8' Face Scrubs that would be ready in batches within the next 15 days.
Passerbys who passed by the store can't hell to notice the bustling of work that was done in there. Soon they entered even though it was not operating hours and asked what we are selling. I asked Patricia to entertain them as I went along to arrange the products in such a way that they would be able to view what we have from the outside glass window.
The 10 kinds of 'Head To Toe' Shampoo and 5 kinds of 'Sparklie' Toothpaste were arranged in such an angle and when I looked at it from outside, it was simply breathtaking. The view was magnificent and the product display was good enough.
I wrote the description with the scent along with the price in a bright yellow kind of price tag and place it next to the porcelain bottles and jewel cases. This way they could identify what they were buying besides the small dried flower that was attached to it.
There was a small ledge inside the store next to the glass front and I decided I could decorate it with basket gifts with assorted products in them. In that way, those deep-pocket customers could buy in bulk and make it as a personal gift, weddings, birthdays, anniversaries, baby showers and so on.
”Trish, could you get those 2 kinds of wicker basket like this size without a handle while the other one with a handle like this size?” I showed the sizes with my palms outstretched and she immediately understood. After the arrangement of the cartons were complete and the product display had been properly achieved, all of us left the store.
Prius was chatting happily with Rebecca and it seems that Prius' hands can't be kept still and was like having its own mind as it kept patting Rebecca's head, fondling the head, touching the shoulders, arms and hands. Hah hah hah...
I sat down next to Prius as Patricia went hunting for a sample of the basket. I told her I need one each as I could do the rest and she nodded. The children were told to push the trolleys back and park it at Beauty World as they made their way back. Adam West was holding on to 4 slices of the pan-fried pork chops to be given to the matron as a sign of favour for letting them return late.
”Rebecca... Or shall I call you Becky instead... Would you mind be employed by Beauty World as our chef to prepare our 6 meals per day? We would gladly pay you 600 credits a month.” I opened up the discussion to Rebecca but instead, Prius was the one who answered excitedly, ”Yes Becky... I like that name. Say Yes, Yes, Yes...”
As soon as the mention of the word ”Say Yes”, the offscreen crews broke into a serenade along with a minus one musical interlude. They were the crew that helped to work on Series 5
