Big Spender

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 l****s 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 l****s barrels of coconut oil, and 36 nos of 10 l****s 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. They gladly put them on and were excited to show it off to their matron on their new working attire. "Now children, I would be guiding all of you how to be a great supervisor. You do not lead just by your instructions alone but you would be lead by example." "Even though you would be working from 8 am to 5 pm, in between you would need to guide those who are not sure of their work from tomorrow onwards and then you may resume your duties here, making these X4Li8 Face Scrubs. You understand that?" "Mummy and Daddy would be both handling the first hour ensuring that the new workers would be briefed and a set of ingredients would be ready for them to refer to in order to make them." "Right now, let's go and prepare the first 3 batches for Production Plant #1 and #2. The other batch would be done by you today and then the leaders would be doing the rest. The line leaders are waiting in the production plant as we speak." With that, the children and Patricia headed to our new Production Plants where the delivery boys had already arranged the set of cauldrons and other equipment accordingly. They also had helped to move the 10,000 porcelain bottles and 10,000 porcelain jewel cases into each respective Production Plant from Beauty World. For their additional work that they had performed, all 10 of the delivery boys were paid 10 credits each and they did an amazing job on the arrangements of the tools of our trade as well as the ingredients. Since this would be a daily affair for the deliveries, they promised to be back the next day by 3 pm. The first 3 cauldrons (since we have 9 per plant) that were first in the row was being prepared for 3 different scents. The leaders took note in their processes and assisted in the makings. Since the two leaders named Lucas and Marcus would be handling these 2 production plants, it would be good for them to know the procedures as well. "Alright guys, you know what to do right? Right now all you need to do once you had prepared this is to assist the line operators to fill their pots in front of them and then refill as and when needed." "Observe how these solutions were being weighed so that it would be exactly as how these supervisors had been doing so far all along. If you have any problems, please don't hesitate to meet Patricia or me in Beauty World HQ." "Lucas and Marcus, both of you decide among yourself in which shift you would be taking and if in doubt, please ask for our assistance or the supervisor's assistance. They too would be involved in the process and remember the exact measurements based on the board here, okay?" I showed both the line leaders on the ingredients and it's measurement for each of the larger cauldron that was stated in the board. By 5 pm, all the workers had reached Beauty World HQ and were briefed once more. The vests were handed to them by the children and the 30 employees went to their respective plants to observe on the preparation of the products. By then, everyone knows their roles and duties and they would be reporting to work tomorrow before 7 am. We bade them adieu and they went back to their respective destinations, each one of them wearing the vests that bore the company logo. They seemed excited to start work the next following day. The 6 of us were in the Great Hall when Prius had warped back to the Southern District and was walking towards the Great Hall when he saw those citizens wearing bright yellow vest streaming out along the streets. "Is there a fiesta going on? What a bright and cheerful garb they had on." he thought to himself and when he entered his home, he discovered that it was part of the employee's workwear as the children were wearing the black ones with the golden threaded embroidery on the left side. "Hiya Prius, I hope you have good news from Aermagh? You look fresh after coming back from there... Come, join us for dinner." I greeted Prius as he walked with a cheerful look on his face. When I asked him about the results from the Ruler of Aermagh that had drunk the drop of water from the Fountain of Youth, he raised his thumb and remarked, "You never going to believe what had just happened in Court."
