Reincarnation of Audemars - Who Am I...?

Mummy Daddy ?!

"Hah Hah Hah... How I wish it could be simple as that, Trish. If I could do that, I've done that many years ago. Alright, let's go and plant these citrus upfronts. I've marked out the plot with square pieces, so it would nicely mark out. 2 each plant on each side there, Trish."

I shooed her out of 'Beauty World' and I dug the ground about a foot deep with a spade and placed the lavender in the plot of 24 inches on both sides. It was a shrub so it would not need a bigger space than that. And a plot of 24 inches would do just fine.

The citrus plants that were bought by Patricia were the dwarf kinds and these grow to about 140 centimetres tall and would be bearing flowers and fruits before long. It's the yellow kind of citrus fruits and I would definitely be giving a surprise again when we are done planting those trees.

"Wow... Now this 'Beauty World' is indeed a beauty. It got clean white walls and accentuated with these plants over here. People passing by would think this is a house and not a production place at all. Hah Hah Hah... By the way, Trish... Do you think there is  a locale for rent or sale in either of the 3 districts?"

"I don't think so, Audemars. What are your plans right now? You've got the house, the cauldron, ingredients and the plants. When would you embark on your project?" Patricia asked as she was excited to know the progress as she was to be supervising the children later on.

I was squatting down near a bucket of water as I rubbed my two hands together to form Psi Energy Healing Spheres and I dropped them inside. I used a small scoop to water the plants and I answered her questions as we go along. She saw what I did and was wondering what I had done for the plants instead.

"I saw those bluish things that you did when you rubbed your hands before, why did you put them into the water and then you watered the plants?" Patricia asked after she saw what I did and that intrigued her most.

"Ah, you see... I can also listen to the plants talking and complaining. And they were complaining to me that that ground is hard and wanted some drinks. I can't be serving coffee or tea for them right? So I just made the ground wet and make them happy since they had been stored in the nursery for so long."

"I can even hear them talking in a foreign language right now saying their thanks and appreciation and were sighing since they had received this nutrition." I spun my tale of bullshit once more and Patricia nodded as if she understood every single word I say. Hah Hah Hah.

"Alright, help me to place these 2 types of oils and you mix these while I pour in the lye to make a mix. It is not ready yet though since I have yet to make an Essense for the citrus. This ratio is to make a single batch and once it is done, we can stick citrus leave on it to indicate its scent." I beckoned Patricia as she seemed a bit flushed since she was out in the sun for some time.

It seems that she is a bit sensitive to the sun and she looked like a steamed prawn already. Hah Hah Hah... And there's a bit of perspiration just above her upper lip that made her... Beautiful I think. That's the word I could think off right now. Beautiful sweaty upper lips like a moustache. Hurr Hurr Hurr...

I positioned the cauldron in such a manner that the children would be able to scoop them into a large bowl before dispensing them into the porcelain bottle. A machine could do that actually, but I need to create a livelihood for the children and make a pathway for their own future.

I cracked open the top of the barrel and poured in all the oils and Patricia was using a Cajun stirring paddle to mix those 2 oils together. After that, I scooped the lye and slowly mixed them up until I had emptied the whole 10 kilograms sack. The colour of the ingredients inside the cauldron was beautiful creamy colour.

"This is the cold process, without using any heat whatsoever. Later in I would use a barrel and then I would pour water in it and dilute the solution. In this process, the solution won't be too thick or runny. This whole process weighs 110 to 120 l****s and could easily fill up approximately 400 bottles. How much did you spend on the oils and lye?" I asked as I would make an estimated cost to sell the product.

"Oh, I had spent only 500 credits for the oils and lye powder. What kind of product are you actually going to make?" she asked as I had filled a barrel with water and was carrying them in and poured the contents into it as Patricia slowly stirred the mixture with the stirring paddle.

"I am going to make a shampoo called "Head To Toe". It's an all in one shampoo for showering that's great for the hair and body as well during showers and I am sure people would feel invigorated, energised and refresh after using this shampoo during their showers every day."

"This mix would be for a single scent. 400 bottles would do just fine for the moment. The purpose of this is simple. One, create a livelihood for the 4 children. Two, educate them in business such as manufacturing, packing, storing, distribution, sales, accounts, the works."

"Three, create a healthy lifestyle for the citizens of Ingmery first. Four, keep the citizens free from dirt, lice, bugs and other varmints that might be crawling around their bodies. You won't have that crawling around your body, would you?"

"Five, these healthy lifestyles also would keep them away from certain common illnesses. Six, everyone would smell great, feels clean like as if they just showered in perfume."

I explained it to Patricia in a single breath and I was breathless by the end of my long speech. Hurr Hurr... Patricia absorbed every bit of information and understood what I meant when I asked her about showering the other day. Would she jump in with me and help to scrub my back? Hah Hah...

.......

The next morning after breakfast we went to Beauty World and Patricia was surprised that the lavender shrub that was planted sparingly on a plot of 24x24 had grown to about 2 foot in height and had all the purple flowers blooming. The scent itself is invigorating (since the watering last night was imbued with Psi Energy).

The citrus plant had also grown to about 4 feet in height and there are many yellow fruits the size of a small fist. Patricia was astonished at the development and asked what I'm going to do next and I told her it's time to bring in the children from the orphanage.

.......

"Matron, the children would be employed with Beauty World from 8 am to 5 pm and would be given 3 meal breaks at 1030am, 1230pm and 3 pm," I explained the working hours so that the matron would be able to understand that the children would not work more than 12 hours a day.

"They would still be putting up with the orphanage and would be paid a salary of 600 credits per month. It could be paid to them twice a month." after I learnt that a minimum wage in town is 20 credits a day, and I used it to make a guideline to be sure.

"A treasurer account book would be created for them so we would deposit it into their accounts and you would be able to monitor them," I said as I wanted to have a secure place for the children to have a headstart in their lives. Even for the youngest named Kayla, at aged 10 would slowly learn the value of money.

Since there was nothing else for them to spend as meals were provided by them, as for Kayla, in 8 years time, she would be able to accumulate a wealth of 57,600 credits in her savings. Of course, there would be bonuses and other incentives every quarterly which I did not mention to the matron.

Upon hearing all the details, she was surprised to know that I am able to meet the deadline of a week to gather the resources I need. The children were released to me and we brought them to the Beauty World where some of the citizens began labelling it as The White House.

"Adam, Ingles, Jane and Kayla... Welcome to Beauty World. Here, you will receive an education that's even better than some public schools would teach. You will earn 600 credits a month just by performing some manufacturing, packing, storing, distribution, sales, accounts and so on."

"You don't get to earn credits when you actually go to school right? Well, come on in and Trish here will guide you on your jobs at the moment. At the meantime, this room is out of bounds unless I told everyone could enter it. It is my world in there and it is full of secrets in there."

I explained as their jaws dropped open when they heard they are getting credits for the work they had done. 600 credits are just a few levels lower than the matron earns a month.

And when they heard I announce that they would be getting 3 meals a day in between their work time, they were surprised because they normally get 2 meals a day each.

The four of them wiped away their tears of joys silently and Kayla was the one that sobbed uncontrollably. "Mummy, Daddy... Kayla promised to be a good little devil from now on, okay, and won't disturb the rest of the sisters here."

"MUMMY... DADDY...?!?!" It was Patricia and my turn to dropped those jaws of ours as we looked at each other in astonishment. When did we even get married and suddenly we have 4 grown-up children... Hah Hah...
