Reincarnation of Audemars - Who Am I...?

Grave Mistake

Just before we break for lunch, I brought in the barrel filled with sliced citrus inside the room and locked myself in. I received another notification that I had gained another progress +1000% from the 2nd duplication of the porcelain bottles. All the porcelain bottles had been automatically stored in m storage bag even if I'm in the real world. How cool is that...?!

I meditated and went to the Realm of Mind and straight to the Essense Extraction Zone where I dumped the whole barrel of sliced citrus on the cloth suspended above the steaming water of the 2nd distiller.

I put the burner to medium flame after covering the half dome and set the LPG timer for 9 hours which means this Essense would be ready for tomorrow. I then imbued Psi Energy Healing Spheres thrice into the lavender extract and watched the spheres slowly merge into the solution.

I visualised a 2-litre earthen jug and poured the lavender extract into it, as I brought it to the real world along with the lavender that was inside the linen cloth. The scent was overpowering as it was a pure extract. I then poured it into the cauldron and Patricia helped to stir it up. The creamy colour changed to a pale purple and everyone could smell the sweet scent from the solution.

"Daddy, what is this? Is it some kind of soup?" Adam asked as he watched Patricia slowly stirred the contents and when I checked the uniformity of the solution, it felt just right to be called a 'Head To Toe' shampoo.

"This is not something that you can eat. This is shampoo and this is meant to wash your hair and body with it. It would have a soft lather and you could scrub it with a shower rag. It makes you feel fresh, clean, invigorated and energised after this." I explained as I made sure that there are no sediments at the bottom.

"Oh...I had my bath some months back... And I feel alright though except when the nights are too warm I just strip down to my jockeys." Adam quipped as he too smelt his armpit and determined if it's too sourish or not to take a bath soon after.

"Alright, it's time to break for lunch. Come on everyone, follow Mummy back to the house." I called out and everyone cleared the table and set the cutting boards to the empty kitchen along with the realistic-looking plastic knives.

Jane took a rag and wiped the table clean as we prepare to engage in the second phase after this which is to fill the bottles with the solution.

The linen cloth that was filled with lavender was placed on the porch area to dry and used as a branding after tying it up with a baker's string which I had asked for a small ball earlier.

"Alright, time to go, children. Let's go to the Great Hall and have some lunch first." Patricia gestured to the children and led them out of Beauty World and I saw the 4 of them marched behind Patricia as if she was a mother goose and was leading the children to the pond. Hah Hah...

And I followed behind them like a father goose? Hah hah hah... What a joke we had become since we had picked the 4 children from the orphanage to be our employees. Right now the best person to be pushing this product is through word of mouth.

The capital per 100 l****s of raw products only cost 500 credits and frankly, we would be able to get 4 fold if we were to sell it at just 5 credits. I'm not trying to make so much of a profit but as long as we create a livelihood for these children, we would be able to path a way for them for their future.

"Sigh... Little did I expect these children us going to call me Daddy... Hah hah... I was as young as Adam when I was transmigrated to be Himura Kenshin. And now looking back, it surely reminds me of Will.I.Am and the rest." I thought and sighed inwardly as I too marched behind them to head for lunch.

....

That was a very gruel meal Mummy and Daddy, I didn't know that Daddy is a good cook." Kayla said and everyone agrees. Prius who was sitting with us looked in surprised since the children had called both Patricia and me as Mummy and Daddy respectively.

"Ahem...do you guys know that both Patricia and Audemars here are not even a couple and yet you all are referring them as Mummy and Daddy?" Prius asked them since he doesn't know what was going on in the children's mind.

"Of course we do Uncle Prius... Its a matter of respect that we honour them both." the moment when I heard Ingles referred Prius as an uncle, the gruel in my mouth was spluttered in front as I laughed since calling 'Uncle Prius' was like making Prius old and a wrinkly man with a walking stick. Hah Hah Hah....!!!

Patricia was laughing along with me and Prius had this dumbfounded stupid look on his face when he was being referred as 'Uncle'. "Well, Uncle Prius, you already knew the answers from the children right?" I poked fun at Prius and he laughed along but I knew deep inside he felt he was too young to be referred to as 'Uncle'. Hah Hah Hah...

After lunch there was a break of 30 mins so 'Uncle' Prius entertained the children while Patricia and I went to look for 4 funnels, 4 small 300ml ladles and a large one along with a cauldron to place the solution on the table for the children to scoop.

The reason for me getting the cushions is because the children could sit on it to be higher when they scooped the shampoo into the bottles later on. There must be a reason why I bought those cushions, right? Definitely not for decoration purposes. Haiyoo... Don't tell me I need to saw off the legs of the table to make it shorter just for the children to work with? Hah hah.....

I returned to Beauty World while Patricia marched the children back and when they entered, I had already prepared the shampoo solution into the new pot that we had bought earlier and since there are 4 funnels and 4 scoops, the children were instructed on how much shampoo they need to fill inside each bottle.

I excused myself and went to the room where I carried out 8 crates containing 400 porcelain bottles. During that time I managed to check my interface and it seemed that I had jumped to Level: 565/100,000. Intermediate Crafter Level 11/100 and also had a total of 200 points to allocate. At the moment I just let it be first since I'm not off grinding for beasts or monsters.

When it was ready to be packed into the porcelain bottle, I demonstrated how to fill one up according to a single scoop from the ladle. Not too little and not too much. Once it was done, I closed off the stopper, took a single strand of lavender and tie a baker's string round the body near the top along with the flower. I wish I could show how you how the end product looks like but too bad this is not a toon novel.

If not, definitely there would be a lot of artist signing to insert their illustrations. Won't it be more 'book-like' in the future?

The first bottle was shown and I observed for the next few rounds and corrected their mistakes and once everything looked perfect, I left the children be while I went to get the raw materials to be sent over.

Patricia paid another 500 credits and this would be for the citrus scent. The delivery boys helped to place it next to the cauldron which would be made into 'Head To Toe' shampoo.

When the delivery boys came in to deliver the raw materials, they commented on the smell and they liked it very much and would be buying it for their parents if the price is right.

"What do you think if the price is right," I asked the delivery boys. "I guess this porcelain bottle is already worth nearly 100 credits and the product inside it, well... It would be worth 120 credits at least." one of them replied.

Then a shocking revelation hit me...!!! It is a PORCELAIN bottle which costs 50 at Paul's. Definitely, I can't sell lower than that right? I was thinking of selling it for 5 credits only. FOR f**k'S SAKE... I've done a god damn irreversible mistake NOW....!!!

"Readers... Tell me what should I do right now...?!?! Haiyoo... Die lah like this... Sure die c**k stand... Chialat Liao..."
