"Why are you just looking? Hurry here. We eat!"
Rizqi could not help her shock. Since marrying Pepi, he has never seen her work. Instead, Pepi would rule him like a horse or a cow. Rizqi handles homework, cooking, and even money-making activities outside. As of now, he should be able to focus on the work outside and not go home, but he should still rush back to cook.
Otherwise, it was not only Yurdha who did not eat, Pepi would also starve, and it could be that she would blame Yurdha.
But now, what does he see?
Pepi, cooking?!
"Are you the one who cooked all this?" Rizqi looked at him with a complicated expression.
"If not me, then who?"
Yurdha also entered, but her wheelchair was unable to cross the doorway, so Rizqi carried her inside.
Yurdha looked at the table full of dishes and felt a little surprised. He didn't expect Pepi to actually cook like he said this morning. The two brothers looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
"Thank you, my wife," Yurdha said softly.
Pepi smiled, revealing a row of small white teeth. "Sama-sama~"
While saying so, he even gave Rizqi a sharp look.
Look how polite your sister is! No wonder you are not married!
Rizqi was still expression cold when she took out a small bowl and gave it to Yurdha.
"It's..."
Rizqi opened the cover of the bowl and said, "Recently, while I was working in the harbor, the son of the boat owner climbed into the tree and was unable to get off. I climbed up and helped the boy down. As a thank you, the hostess gave me this cendol bowl. It is said to be the most refreshing and soothing sweet dish to enjoy in summer. So, I brought it specially for you."
Yurdha laughed and said, "I've never seen anything like this. Let our wives try it first."
While saying so, he gave the small bowl to Pepi.
Rizqi frowned, but Yurdha pressed her hand as she said, "When you get a dish like this, it's only natural that our wives eat it first."
Pepi doesn't care much about it. But when he saw the contents of the bowl, he froze. "This what?"
Rizqi's expression darkened, "cendol."
Pepi widened his eyes and carefully observed the small bowl in front of him.
Orden was surprised and exclaimed, "Honey, you know this dish? Usually only rich households can enjoy cendol. Even in our city, it is only sold in fancy restaurants. A small bowl like this might be worth 30 grand."
Pepi. Of course he recognized her. A cendol tent is set up near his house every summer and sold for 5 thousand per bowl!
Pepi gave the small bowl to Yurdha and said, "You eat it. I'm tired of this food."
"When did my wife ever eat it?" ask Yurdha.
Pepi rubbed his chin and thought for a moment, then suddenly laughed. "I've not only ever eaten it, but I can even make it! What the hell were you saying? 30 grand for a little bowl like this? I'm definitely a big profit!"
Rizqi looked at him suspiciously, "Do you really know how to make it?"
Pepi snorted, "When have I ever lied?"
"You always lie" Rizqi said without hesitation.
Pepi paused, "...."
Pepi cleared his throat awkwardly. "That first! But, from now on, whatever Pepi says, Pepi will do!"
While saying so, he glanced at Rizqi with a loud gaze, "You just wait!"
——
There was something shining inside Rizqi's eyes. "When I came home earlier, I heard people in the village saying that he had hit a woman this morning."
Yurdha was shocked, "He hit a woman?"
Would he be able to defeat a woman with such a physique?
Rizqi's voice grew even colder, "Could it be that she had been pretending in front of all of us all this time?"
Yurdha shook her head, "I don't think so."
He laughed, "Here we go, we don't have to keep thinking about this. Whatever happens, he's been living better like this."
Rizqi said coldly, "Who knows this is only a temporary change."
——
In accordance with his promise, Pepi immediately began planning the sale of cendol. Making the cendol is simple. He once did it himself when he had free time at home.
Simply soak the starch in water, then cook and let it cool. It's more than half way. But now, the most important part is that kanji flour was not available in this era.
If anything, just wheat flour.
No wonder why cendols like this can be so expensive. In the end, it's just a matter of availability of kanji flour, isn't it?
However, if we talk about the best flour to make cendol, it is no doubt that rice flour is the most suitable. But how to make rice flour without rice?
And if we want to buy rice, it will also cost money!
Pepi checked all pockets, but only found ten thousand dollars. Poverty makes him feel so bad.
"So, you're going out?" Pepi stood at the door, smiling at Rizqi who was about to leave. The previous stupid attitude seemed to have completely disappeared.
Rizqi threw a glance from the side. "Why are you asking?"
The previous foolish attitude suddenly reappeared with a sly look in his eyes. Is he back to the way he was before?
Pepi smiled flatteringly. "I only care about you, that's all."
"Not to make any pleasantries. Just tell me what you want!" Rizqi remained unaffected.
With such an ominous temperament, it was no wonder that he could not find a wife!
Pepi cursed inwardly and smiled on his face. "Well, the problem is, I'm thinking of making a cendol. However, I was short of initial capital. So, I thought you could sponsor me a little, and when I get the money, I'll pay you many times!"
Although Rizqi was unable to understand what he was talking about the start-up capital and sponsors, she could see from her submissive smile that she had come to ask for money.
Indeed, the goat-furred tiger is still a tiger.
"First, you stole ten million from me, and now you come to me to borrow money?" Rizqi mocked, "Do you think I'm stupid or am I losing my mind?"
"Hey, didn't we agree that from now on what happened in the past means nothing anymore?" Pepi's heart was filled with anxiety.
My old self, oh my old self, you really have got me caught up in this mess!
Rizqi gave him a cold look and turned around, going away.
"Ughhh!" Pepi kicked his leg in frustration and cursed, "Alright, if you don't want to lend, I'll handle it without you! Hmphh!"
As it turned out, without it, it was indeed impossible - or rather, without Rizqi's money...
Did he really have to rely on these ten thousand as his initial capital? How much rice can he buy with this money!
As Pepi complained and sighed at the table, suddenly someone appeared at the door.
