37 Old McDonald
She closed the live broadcast and grilled all of the steak that she had promised to prepare for Severus.
When the hound was satisfied, it curled up in a corner of the kitchen and fell asleep. It's small tummy was as round as a ball.
"Sister, your pet is a glutton." Fey commented. She had just watched Severus demolish a mountain of meat without stopping to breathe. Fey had seen anything eat like that in her entire life.
"You are right Fey, it is a glutton." she replied.
"Sister can I get a pet too?" she asked softly. Her gray eyes looked so hopeful and Scarlet pinched her cheek.
"Maybe one that doesn't eat so much. When we go back into the forest, I will try and find you one."
Fey rushed to Scarlet and she hugged her. "I love you sister Scarlet."
She did not get to reply to Fey's declaration of love because her son came running into the kitchen and he too threw himself on her.
"Mummy, I love you too mummy." Justin declared.
"Hehe, are you two competing for my love now?" she asked lightly as a joke.
"I love you more mummy." Justin declared.
She patted his head and gave him a plate of the small pieces of meat that she had chopped up and set aside for him. "Eat that while watching television, mummy is busy right now."
Justin took the small plate and he proceeded to tell her, "I am busy too mummy, I am supervising the seedlings. Grandpa said that if I sing to them they will grow faster. Mummy do you know which song makes seedlings grow faster?"
Scarlet thought back to her memories on earth and the songs they used to sing in primary school. The easiest song she could recall was Old McDonald had a farm. That song however was not related to the growth of seeds. It did not matter anyway, if Justin wanted her to sing a farm related song, she would sing.
He was working hard to oversee the growth of the seedlings.
"In that case, mummy is going to sing a song while she packs the deliveries for the lucky winners."
Her mother came waddling into the kitchen, "I am here to help too."
As they packed the meat into disposable containers which she bought cheaply on star net, she started singing.
"Old MacDonald had a farm....."
"Justin you must say Ee I ee I o after every line I sing."
Justin nodded his head and she continued singing with him repeating his part perfectly.
"With a moo moo here..."
"Mother, the animals that the hunters found today make that sound." Justin cut into her singing and he informed her about the mooing of the cattle.
"Excellent," she praised him.
He had a very proud look on his face as if he was the only person on the planet to discover the sound made by a cow or a bull.
In ten minutes, the delivery drones arrived and carried all the thirty packages away. Just like before, Silver wolf had the biggest package. It contained chicken, beef and juice.
"You are really playing favoritism." her mother commented.
"Mother, I told you that I must hook this big fish right now. If Silver wolf runs away, I will incur a heart break. Since you are here, I am going to bring some of the spices and oil that teacher left with me and we sell them in the online shop."
"Are you sure that you should be selling your teacher's things?" Mega Su looked very unsure of her daughter's actions. What if the teacher returned and demanded for payment.
"Teacher told me to use these things to make a better life for us all. If I leave them to sit and waste away, he will disapprove."
"Where do you even keep these things?" Mega asked curiously.
Everyday her daughter came out of her bedroom with foods, spices, clothes and shoes which were unique. When she went in there to clean up today she could not see a single thing and this peaked her curiosity.
"Teacher gave me a storage bracelet that he personally crafted." Scarlet answered.
She had done research because she expected this question to come up one day and she needed to have the perfect answer. Storage bracelets were like the ones they used to communicate and access the internet but these ones had a storage space which could store items like the storage pods.
Storage bracelets required thousands of high energy stones to function and retain stability which is why they were not common. The most common ones could store only three items maximum.
The real storage bracelets that everyone desired stored up to thousands of goods and they were only accessible to the royal family, top level mecha warriors and extremely wealthy nobles.
Mega Su gasped and Scarlet knew that she had picked the right answer.
"Was your teacher a mecha craftsman?" Mega asked Scarlet. "My daughter, you really found an energy stone mine. What I mean is that your teacher was the equivalent of an energy stone mine.
Mecha crating is the most prestigious job in the empire. The craftsmen go hand in hand with the warriors. because the quality of the mecha and the skills of the warrior decide the outcome of the battle.
No wonder your teacher is so mysterious, someone that can craft a mecha is no joke. Wait till your father hears this, he will die of envy."
Seeing that her fib had worked perfectly, she stood up to leave. "Mother, I will bring the spices and oils now."
"Okay, hurry back."
She went to her bedroom and from her space, she took out salt, pepper, cooking oil, tomato sauce and chilli sauce. She had planted tomatoes and chilli peppers so she could sell some of this stuff without worry.
Ever since she redirected some of her soul power to her mind her mental strength had improved. She was probably at level F but it was good enough to help her removed all the labels from the bottles with speed.
She was sweating immensely when she was finished and she had a five minute bath.
"I need to find someone to remove all these labels for me." she said to herself. Eventually she returned to the kitchen where her mother was sorting out the bottles in which the spices would go from the smallest size to the largest.
These too had been ordered for on star net and delivered yesterday. Scarlet dumped some of the items she had lugged all the way from her bathroom.
"Should we begin?" Mega asked her.
Just like that, an online shop called Ancient world opened.
