Customers kept coming to Uncle Casey's store nonstop, Dian was a little overwhelmed by her customers' slightly hasty requests.

"Tomato Sacks 10 please!" Customer's speech 1

"The carrots are 5 in 5 packs!" Speak to customers 2

Customers flocked to slip and scream in front of the store, they were eager to buy his uncle's merchandise.

Little by little Uncle Casey's vegetables began to wane. And after endlessly taking care of the customers for 3 hours less, all the vegetables in the store were exhausted.

"Good job, son, I didn't expect you to be able to keep following my directions exactly." Praise Uncle Casey.

Dian was sweating from nervousness earlier. "Pheww...I didn't expect it to be that many, after all how could Uncle's shop be so famous?" Ask Dian curiously.

Uncle Casey tidied up all the money he received from his wares in a plastic box container, the porch answering Dian's question. "If you pay close attention, my trading price is pretty cheap, right?" Said Uncle Casey.

Dian looked at the price tag located in each vegetable container in her uncle's store, and only realized that the price was indeed quite cheap.

"Tomato 1,500, carrot 5000, leaf lettuce 4000 green.. Looking around is pretty cheap.." Dian Muttered.

Dian knows if cheap prices can indeed make merchandise become more saleable, but for him it is not possible to make so many hordes just now.

"Is there any other factor besides Uncle's price?" Ask Dian.

Uncle Casey smiled at Dian's question. "Hooh, so you're aware of it. Yes that's right, if you look at the vegetables from my rice field, you should realize that they are really fresh without the use of chemical pesticides at all." Said Uncle.

"Eh? Without using pesticides?" Dian surprised.

"Yes, what I mean is chemical peticides, the peticides I use are natural plant-based peticides made from plants. So it tastes fresher than most other vegetables." Obviously uncle.

"Heeeh is that so? it also affects yes.." Think Dian.

"Of course it affects, for people aged elderly and above. Fresh vegetables are very good for their bodies, if you eat vegetables that have been sprayed with chemicals repeatedly into your body, it will not be good." Obviously Uncle.

"That's it..." Reply Dian.

After being explained various things by her uncle, Dian was told to tidy up the store and bring the empty box container back to her truck.

After doing all that, Dian was not immediately invited home, but went to the food stall on the first floor of the market for lunch.

"Eh? We're not going straight home, Uncle? Doesn't Lista cook for lunch at home?" Ask Dian.

"I told him not to cook for the afternoon, just think of eating at this stall as my gratitude for helping me out lately." Said Uncle Casey.

"Eh? Huh uh? W-is this really me being treated?" Dian surprised.

"Of course I want to! I will take it with all my heart." Reply Dian.

Dian was very surprised by the fact that his Uncle would treat him to food, it was because he thought he was only asked for help without any reciprocity at all.

"Oi Wanto, please soto Betawinya 2." Pinta Uncle Casey.

"Oh Casey huh? 2 bowls? For the young man next to this, huh?" Tanya Wanto Soto seller.

"Yes, he's my niece who comes from my sister. Lately she's changed and helped me, so I want to give her a little present." Said Uncle Casey.

"Heeeh, nephew huh? What's your name, son?" Ask Wanto.

"Dian sir, greetings." Dian.

"Dian huh? Greetings, your uncle used to help promote my sale so I owe him a favor." Wanto.

"Don't say that, Wanto, you also sometimes help me bring containers from trucks, right? let's just say we're even." Reply Uncle Casey.

"Hahahaha, is that it? Well still you helped me a lot anyway.." Wanto.

After 5 minutes of waiting, finally Betawi soto ala Wanto has been finished and delivered to the dining table Dian and her Uncle.

"Here you go, the most delicious Betawi soto in the market.." Said Wanto."

A soto dish with a distinctive smell of Betawi spices immediately makes Dian's stomach sound, he also did not forget to mix sambel and soy sauce before feeding soto into his mouth.

"Hm! it's so good, it turns out that the good guy made it." Dian.

"Ahahaha, of course not? I've been selling for 6 years, 3 years as a street vendor, and 3 more years in this market." Said Mr. Wanto.

"This is Uncle's subscription every time Uncle buys soto, because he knows that Uncle will be given a discount." Said Uncle Casey

"Hoy, who said you'd get a discount?!" Reply Mr. Wanto.

"Ahahahahaha, but isn't that the reality?" Said Uncle Casey.

Uncle Casey and Uncle Wanto exchanged words and laughed happily, while Dian only enjoyed his soto while looking at the rare sight of his uncle who was laughing. "It turns out Uncle can also laugh too yeah, I guess every time his face gets angry constantly." Think Dian.

After 5 minutes of eating and waiting another 20 minutes to wait for his Uncle and Wanto to finish talking, finally Dian time to go home arrived.

"Then I go first Wan, next time I buy do not forget to give a discount okay?" Tempted Uncle Casey.

"Please don't expect that, you also take care of your health and don't be angry, I hear you have high blood pressure, right?" Wanto.

"Hey, how do you know that? Dian huh?" Guess Uncle Casey.

"e-don't. I didn't tell him about it at all!" Dian.

"Of course the List is not it? She's so worried about you you know?" Tell Mr. Wanto.

"Once it is, it turns out that the list. Well that kid was too worried.. Okay, then I'll go first, Wanto." Greetings Uncle Casey.

"Yes, you be careful on the road, too." Wanto Reply.

Dian also said Salim to Mr. Wanto, and when it was said goodbye to each other. Dian went to get into her uncle's truck.

"Where was that guy? Fun, right? The food is good too." Said Uncle Casey.

Dian nodded in response to his uncle's remark, and he pondered for a while as if he was thinking of something in his head.

"Hmm? Why are you keeping quiet? stomach pain, huh?" Ask Uncle.

Dian shook his head at his uncle's question. He then said about what he had planned after helping his uncle trade earlier.

"Uncle, this is a new plan yes, a new plan but. I seem to want to make my own business deh." Dian.
