The Ark of Life

Crisis

Apparently the swear that I heard earlier came from where the butcher was, two women I concluded a storm because of the matter of fighting over meat.

From afar I heard their debate until the situation heated up, people began to separate them so that nothing unwanted happened.

"Once again. huh.. it happens a lot lately!" said the vegetable-seller next to me. He just complained.

"Sir, if I may know why such a thing happens so often?" manya curious.

"Hmm, you're a kid, sure you want to hear it from your dad?" the middle-aged man asked back.

"Sure sir, I'm curious...!"

"Yes already, you will tell, but there is no harm right the father promotes first the father's trade? Who knows you need vegetables."

"May, may. let's sir!"

In the place where this father sells his vegetables apparently this vegetable place is arranged neatly on special shelves tub in a supermaket. I also found a variety of vegetables here.

It looks fresh with good quality.

The price is also fairly cheap, even I found an interesting discount here.

"Eh.. Why take the discount notice? What coincidence is no longer happening?"

"So, because the staple materials are currently in a slump! Little stock!" obviously this father wants to explain it to me, at first glance I see a moody look.

"Don't the people from the lower classes always send Berton-tonne vegetables pack, every day?"

"Indeed, it's just that shipping is now restricted. The vegetables they grew had a drastic drop! Not to mention that certain markets and places forced them to speed up the process with chemicals, as a result of that insistence made the workers there not focus on processing!"

"But. sir, these middle and upper class people can make similar efforts?"

"Actually here is a shortage of supply of staple production places such as milk, eggs, and meat! People here prefer to bear it to the lower and middle class!" she answered my question in a small voice while approaching me.

From the words of this middle-aged man I just found out an information about the problems of upper class society, whether true or not, the situation can be used as evidence.

And as long as I was in this place I also thought that the upper class was more concerned with living comfortably and having money.

Unlike the lower class society that I always see working hard in various things that can meet the daily needs of others.

But I hope that assumption is not one hundred percent true, because I still have not explored further all areas of society lower, middle, and upper classes.

Now I understand, if there is a crisis happening in the staple market at this time. Which also affects the food of a kind of vegetables.

I think I should go home next week, and take the time to visit where I worked before.

Determine whether the situation there is almost the same or not. And just like what this middle-aged man had said.

Tens of minutes passed.

I only got a little more groceries than I normally would have, as a result of the crisis I assumed it was. Makes me have to be on the market long enough.

Travel with jelly to get food or needs that do not fit the dose on the list.

It's just that several times looking and finding, places peddling the needs that I'm looking for, the owner always limits the buyers. In the purchased.

Until one of the shoppers at the store saw that the basket I was carrying had eggs, numbering two dozen. The amount is still not enough I meet for the needs of the Li family.

Unexpectedly he then said to myself it is better to just enough the egg.

Actually I want to try hard to get additional eggs, but the seller in this store apparently agreed with the buyer's proposal.

What can I do, I also go home with enough food for the next two to three days. Unlike the usual which can be stoked up to a week.

"You are how the hell, should be smart dong in negotiating. in order to get groceries according to the list!" said Gwenny, the manager of the servants at Li's residence, who is now nagging me.

He was young about 19 years old only his temperament was always changing, especially regarding the interests of the Li family.

Always ask the helpers to be disciplined, work hard, and tenacious. Yes, because he himself I observed very persistent in doing many things.

"I'm sorry, I pleaded guilty. Ready to be punished!" I said in a low tone while lowering my head.

The reason I immediately concluded the mistake which although not all caused by me, because currently the groceries in the market are being limited.

I only remember the experience of a servant who kept not admitting his guilt to Gwenny. And the next day he gets fired, I don't want that to happen to me.

Mom and dad will be sad, which is why I keep humbling myself if I don't like Gwenny.

"Yes, let me jump into the market. Because the other servants are the same, but not all of them get a little material like you!"

"Hmm," I replied with a nod as I cleared my throat with a guilty and low face.

At night time it was time for me to rest, at exactly 21:00 I always read the book I borrowed from Devan's library.

This book I picked up I didn't actually tell Devan about the title.

This book contains notes about a place called "earth" a place with millions of laughter, happiness, and many other things that make me curious to live there.

Many interesting things that I wrote on a piece of paper as an absolute desire that I would do while there.

But the desire is still in fantasy, because, I want to make both parents happy first.

And that place called earth seemed far away and I had never seen it before. The location may be kept secret.

Tok..

"Tu.. Devan, why are you here? It's already night...!" my words remind Devan that these nights come into my room, I don't know what his purpose is.

"I lost my most precious book! The book looks old-fashioned with a brown cover, do you know?"

"Umm actually I'm the one who brought it, but I borrowed it. Not take it!" sahutku told while explaining. I don't want Devan to misunderstand me.

"Yes, yeah, I remember. I said you could borrow a book in the library! So it's the book you took."

"Hm, since I'm curious as to the title 'early civilization' and has something to do with a place called earth, how do you know that place is not, where is it?" ask me at the end of the sentence, who knows Devan knows what I don't know.

"......."
