Chapter 60 - 60. The Big Spender Earns Good Reputation (1/2)
After Patricia and Rebecca had collected the database of their names, age, marital status, number of children and their ages, I discovered that all 66 ladies were all widows and had either a child or two. How come this was not recorded in the census?
I shook my head and since it's a rest day for all of us, we went to the Central Atelier and the children helped to pick an adult ladies open vest that came in various colours and designs and lastly I settled one. A bright yellow sleeveless vest, with red trimmings on the collar and sides and had 2 small pockets in front and a hood attached to it.
Ingles chose one for the kid's size and asked if they could wear them also. I laughed at her and let her choose the colour she wanted since they are the ones supervising the plant. I told them the colours should be the same as the 4 of them but different from the rest of the employees.
”Daddy, we are holding a post but our pay is lesser than them,” asked Adam West. ”Yes, but you have lunch, 2 in between meals and also dinner.” I reasoned with him and he nodded as he agreed. ”Daddy those men arguing about the salary has no brain just like a bird,” Kayla said and we all laughed since bird brain is as big as a mungo bean. Hahahaha.
The Atelier had also made emblems and coat of arms and I asked if they could make one on the spot and they said it could be done while we wait. I drew a sketch on it using a pencil on a tracing paper and after some adjustments, I managed to make a perfect design based on the question mark and the silhouette of the face.
When I saw the embroidery was completed on the left side of the vest, it looked pretty A-W-E-S-O-M-E... And the kids wanted too and since they chose black, the embroidery would be in gold thread. When it was ready it was G-O-R-G-E-O-U-S...
”Daddy, why are you only buying just 2 pairs? We have a total of 70 employees including us right?” asked Jane and I told her that ”I had some friends and only small children and animals can see them, and they are called wisps and they helped Daddy to multiply this clothes.”
The children had never seen what a wisp look like as I churn out a barrel full of bullshit that's good for manure and they all smelled it and believed in it. Hahahahaha.
I paid for the vest and then we went to the kitchen supplies and bought several 150 litres cauldrons, 30-litre pots, stirring paddles, ladles, electronic scales, pipping bags and funnels and for that, I had paid 45,000 after discount.
Next stop would be the raw materials supply and I asked for 45 nos of 10 litres barrels of coconut oil, and 36 nos of 10 litres barrel of olive oil along with 9 nos 10 kg of lye for the making of 10 scents 'Head To Toe' Shampoo in production plant #1.
As for production plant #2, 90 nos of 10-litre barrels of coconut oil and 90 nos of 25kg baking soda would be delivered to make the 5 flavours of the 'Sparklie' Toothpaste
Last but not least, the Beauty World HQ would have 5 nos of 10-litre barrels of coconut oil, 5 nos of 10-litre barrels of olive oil, 9kg of sugar and 4.5kg of baking soda and plan to make 15 scents of X4Li8 Face Scrubs.
Daily expenditure of a discounted price of 4,100 was expected daily and the I had paid for a duration of payment for 30 days and paid in a lump sum of 123,000 credits.
Just that night alone I had splurged 168,500 credits. It is almost the cost for a medium house!!! Well, it was in the name of building up the empire, I guess.

Back in my room in the Great Hall, I meditated and reached the Realm of Mind and I had duplicated 3 of the kids' work vest and 65 for the adult vest. When I had completed those, I returned to the real world and placed it on the table of the Great Hall and the children were surprised that their vests had been prepared by the so-called wisps.
