After that, Wijaya then rested for a while, and soon he realized that it was almost time to pick up Celine.
So then he immediately rushed out of the house to pick up Celine at school.
On his way to school, Wijaya didn't forget to see several shops which he felt were very suitable for distributing his snack products.
And after feeling satisfied, he immediately continued his journey.
Until finally he arrived at Celine's school, but it was clear he was a little late because now in front of Celine's school there weren't many parents to pick him up.
Luckily, Wijaya saw his younger sister sitting patiently near the school gate waiting for his arrival.
"Brother, why are you late!!!" Celine complained about the delay in the pick-up made by Wijaya.
"Sorry, Celine, I was a bit busy at home," Wijaya replied again, apologizing
"Okay, as an apology, I will treat Celine to buy food, how about it?" Wijaya asked Celine.
Try to provide good compensation for him, as a form of apology.
"Ahhh...is it true, you want to treat Celine???" Celine asked again, immediately responding to Wijaya's answer.
"Sure, come on, you choose," answered Wijaya again.
"Okay, then Celine, I want you to buy Celine Chicken Noodles..." Celine then told Wijaya what she wanted to buy.
"Oh...Chicken Noodles...okay then," Wijaya answered in agreement.
Coincidentally, he also felt hungry again after packing so many light snacks.
Taking Celine back home on his motorbike, Wijaya didn't forget to look for a chicken noodle seller (a food that is famous in the Patih kingdom, chicken noodle is boiled noodles topped with chicken, and this is one of the famous street foods which is similar to meatballs, sold by Wijaya's father)
Not far from the alley where they lived, a green pushcart with chicken noodle written on it appeared to be stopping at the side of the road.
Seeing this, Wijaya immediately stopped and parked his motorbike.
"Sir, buy 2 portions of chicken noodles" Wijaya immediately ordered from the chicken noodle seller (this is a common method used by residents of the Patih kingdom to order food street such as chicken noodles, because they only sell one type of food so when the buyer wants to buy it, just say the number of portions they want to buy from the trader).
"Okay, are the chicken noodles spicy or not?" Ask the man selling chicken noodles.
"Just separate the sauce and chilies, sir," replied Wijaya. (For the record, there are two types of sauce that are usually found in various restaurants and food traders in the Patih kingdom, one is chili sauce, which is a smooth sauce made from ground pure chilies, usually in packets, and the second is sambal, which is ground raw chilies. using a stone mortar with a mixture of onions and other spices).
After waiting for approximately 5 minutes, two portions of chicken noodles were immediately finished
"So how much does it cost, sir?" asked Wijaya.
"8 dollars," answered the seller to Wijaya.
Paying with a 10 dollar banknote, Wijaya immediately got 2 dollars back from the trader. Thanking him, Wijaya immediately returned home with Celine, who was carrying two packs of chicken noodles in his hand.
Thinking about the price of chicken noodles 10 years later, which was at least 10 dollars and some even reached 15 dollars, in the Street food trade, Wijaya felt that this year the price was really cheap again.
Arriving home after changing clothes and washing their hands, Wijaya and Celine immediately started eating the chicken noodles they bought.
The fragrant smell of the chicken stock and the spice mixture immediately flooded their noses.
Especially when you see the appetizing appearance of chicken noodles, with the noodles brown and shiny due to the mixture of spices and sweet soy sauce.
Plus a topping of green mustard greens cut into small sizes which have been boiled separately with the addition of fragrant chicken pieces.
It really looks appetizing, especially with the addition of home-cooked hot chili sauce, which makes the taste sweet, salty, savory and spicy into one really delicious one.
Finishing their chicken noodles quickly, Wijaya and Celine looked satisfied with the chicken noodles they were eating.
"This chicken noodle is really delicious, brother," praised Celine after she was full from eating the chicken noodle they had just bought.
"Yes, it's delicious, next time we'll buy it again," replied Wijaya, agreeing, feeling that he hadn't eaten chicken noodles that good for a long time.
After cleaning up the bowl, Wijaya, who was tired and satisfied, now returned to his room to rest for a while, while not forgetting to start preparing which shops he would collaborate with.
After resting and seeing that it was already afternoon, Wijaya knew that way this is the time to pick up his mother.
Immediately told Celine that he would go out of the house to pick up his mother.
And Wijaya asked Celine to take a shower and clean herself before her mother returned, because if not, her mother would definitely scold Celine.
Driving for a few minutes, not long after at the usual place, Wijaya stopped the motorbike waiting for his mother to come home.
Accompanied by the sound of a long bell, thousands of factory employees immediately appeared, dispersing in an orderly manner through the large factory gate.
Traders and motorcycle taxi drivers, as well as those who picked up their wives and relatives, immediately started looking for and calling people they knew.
Seeing this, Wijaya always felt that this was a very special moment, where only one year later these beautiful times would soon end.
Not long after, the mother immediately approached Wijaya who was waiting for her.
"Is there food at home?" The question his mother asked when she met Wijaya.
"No mother, Wijaya isn't cooking for this afternoon but you don't need to worry, because Wijaya wants to stop by to buy food at the nearest food stall on the way to our house." Wijaya answered, then told his mother.
"Okay, then let's go home," answered the mother, agreeing to Wijaya's suggestion to buy food at the nearest food stall.
Driving Not long after on the way, Wijaya saw a simple restaurant which was the choice of many local residents.
The restaurant is called Watreg, a restaurant that originates from an area in the Patih kingdom.
It has a buffet concept, where dozens of dishes will be served behind a glass display case for buyers to choose from.
Entering the restaurant, Wijaya then asked his mother what menu she wanted to eat this afternoon.
"What do you want to buy, Mom?" Wijaya asked his mother when the two of them were looking at the various menus behind the display case.
"I want something spicy, I'll just have tuna with it," then the mother told Wijaya about her choice.
"For Celine and your father, just buy them two pieces of fried chicken and tempeh and tofu." After telling Wijaya her order, her mother didn't forget to tell Wijaya to also order a menu for Celine and her father.
"Okay... then, excuse me, I want to order..." Wijaya called the waiter who was already there that he was ready to order food.
