Chapter 82: Chapter 82: GOING TO SILVERBROKE TOWN AGAIN

The next day, Calista woke up early in the morning feeling refreshed.

She got out of bed, fished a few silver coins beneath the pillow, and made her way to the cabinet while humming a happy tune.

In order to get to the town early, Calista, Susan and Frank were going to leave a bit earlier, and that prompted Calista to rise early as well.

As all the dishes had been prepared yesterday, Calista didn’t have much to do that morning except wash the dishes, feed the kitten, clean the house and get ready to leave.

All those chores were finished within an hour before she went to wash up. After a bath, she rummaged through her wardrobe and found a nice blue Boo tube dress which she paired up with a white blouse and added a jacket on top with a nice fur collar to keep all the warmth within her body.

She didn’t forget to pack several clothes that would last her at least five days, just in case the schedule changes, as well as the nightwear and other items.

After doing so, Calista went to her cabinet and picked up a half bottle of medicine and added it to the luggage. She picked several pouches and filled them with silver and copper coins.

Done with that, she took the stairs to the first floor and headed for the kitchen, where several baskets were aligned in an orderly manner.

She opened one basket and when she felt the nice heat rising to her face, a smile blossomed on her face.

"I knew that having these talismans would come in need one day!" she smugly boasted as she thought of the talisman, she was resorted to using to keep the food warm.

Since she cooked dishes which tasted nicer when warm than cold, and the previous day before sale on top of that, Calista needed external help to keep the food warm.

Fortunately, she had stashed some of these talismans in her treasury before, otherwise she would have been forced to use that thing to keep the food fresh.

After making sure that all the food was still warm, Calista bundled all the baskets, keeping the talisman very close to the baskets before waiting patiently for Susan and her husband to arrive.

Thirty minutes later, Calista was seated in the oxcart with all the baskets huddled together and next to them was the fresh produce which the couple would be selling.

The sun hadn’t risen yet, so it was a bit dark. Nevertheless, it was the right time for them to leave, as that would make them reach Silverbroke town before noon.

With everything ready, the three of them departed, leaving Cropville village behind.

On their way, the ladies chatted about this and that without any restraint just because Frank was there.

Calista’s dishes were quite warm, however, that didn’t raise any flags to the couple. After all, when had her food never been warm?

Around eleven, the group of three arrived in Silverbroke, settled in their usual place and waited for customers.

Sitting on a stool with several baskets in front of her, Calista was busy engaging in a conversation with her customers.

"You can go and take it. I am here and I will keep your share, don’t worry."

"You will do that?"

"Hehe, when have I ever lied?"

"Calista, give me a plate? What do you have today?"

Calista greeted and chatted with her customers. As they all knew that she barely brought plates or meal boxes to offer them, the customers always brought that whenever they were looking for her.

So, for those who carried their boxes, they managed to get the food in time. And those who didn’t rush home to get their containers.

Since she had prepared a lot, Calista had a great time selling and at the same time advertising her restaurant.

"In the future, I might not be coming here frequently," she revealed as she served the last customer, selling everything out.

"Huh! Is something going on at home?"

"Your husband doesn’t allow you!"

"Why won’t you be coming?"

Hearing different versions of why she mustn’t be coming, Calista nearly laughed, however, she held it in.

"No, no. it’s not like that. It’s just that recently I have been building a restaurant and it will be opening in July if everything goes well. So, I won’t have much time to come here," she said in explanation.

Upon hearing that, the customers were finally enlightened.

"Oh! So, it’s like that? That’s good news. Congratulations."

"Congratulations on achieving such a feat."

"But Cali, isn’t your village a bit remote? Are you not worried about not getting customers?"

"Haha, it’s not a problem. It’s not like I was selling to earn a lot of money. You know that it takes me four to five hours to reach here and the same when returning. It’s becoming too risky, so I decided to do it at home. Sooner or later, people would know the place and visit even if it’s not frequently!" with a chuckle, Calista explained.

Nodding their heads in understanding, some of the customers chipped in.

"If it’s like that, then we understand you. We don’t want any harm falling on you just because of us."

"Maybe this way, we can travel and see where you stay."

"Hehe, we have been too cooped up in town a lot."

"What a waste of money!"

Calista ignored all the sarcastic comments and concentrated on those who wished her well. After advertising and promoting the restaurant which hadn’t opened yet, Calista finally became free to resume with her other schedule.

The produce the couple brought managed to get finished around the same time as Calista’s food was sold out.

Frank drove Calista and Susan to the inn where he left for the village after they checked in.

Calista preferred to stay alone, so she had Susan stay in the neighboring room.

With accommodation settled, Calista was now left with procuring the items she needed, from food ingredients to other decorations.

With so much time left before the day comes to an end, Calista wasn’t planning on sleeping in the room yet but going around and seeing what she could buy now.

This way, when Frank returns the next day, he would have something to return with, to the village. There was no way everything she wanted would fit the cart when they go back in a couple of days.

With that in mind, Calista prepared for a couple of busy hours ahead.

’It wasn’t easy to be a business lady,’ she lamented as she brought Susan to the market thirty minutes later.
