Village Progress

Tells the story of four very unique friends, Toni is a tough and strong boy but he is a bit stubborn, Zellna is a beautiful and charming girl but he is quiet who likes to be alone, Kayli is a beautiful and somewhat authoritative girl but he is a bit arrogant but well actually, Michael is a strong boy but he is a bit clumsy and forgetful. They live in a village called Gl'dizo which is a remote village. When they were seven years old, they met their parents who often brought their children together and held meetings to find solutions so that their village could be known by many people. From here they became strong friends for the progress of their village.

It had been several years since the residents of Gl'dizo had tried to advance their village, but to no avail, all the residents had done everything they could to such as selling knick-knacks, clothes, honey, and wine. Therapeutic customers say that the ingredients are not good, honey and wine are not of good quality, what they sell is good quality. Because they were from a remote village, everyone in the city looked at them selling just to deceive them, and there were villagers who were tricked when selling and robbed when they wanted to sell or when they were on their way home.

These four friends who are now twelve years old have the same goal for their village to progress, they gathered in their secret place in the forest, starting with Toni who wanted to do something.

Toni: Ohhhh, what should we do to make our village famous, the villagers sell this and it's useless.

Kayli: Yes, yes, there are village people who have been cheated, you city people

Toni: How about we sell the typical food of our village?

Zellna: village people just sell the produce, there is no good response, how we sell food, it will definitely not be looked at

Michael: Let's try it first, at least someone is interested in buying it, it's not wrong for us to try, our special food is not delicious

Kayli: yes but what? that can make people interested in the typical cuisine of our village

Everyone was thinking about what food people could be interested in and wanted to try it. Whether the food is meat, fish or chicken, dry or gravy, they are all very serious about this. Food from the village of Gl'zido makes their food from many spices and herbs, there are special foods called spice chicken, herbal soup, seven spice fish soup and many more. But they are still confused about their choice, they return to the village to look for references for their sales, they ask how many people are in the village, and most of the people they ask, their favorite foods are seven spice fish soup and spice chicken. Seven spice fish soup as the name implies uses seven spices, namely ginger, pepper, cloves, cardamom, nutmeg, star anise, and lemongrass in an easy cooking way, add all the spices, boil until the color changes and add the fish and while the spiced chicken is a bit complicated to make. and use spices such as turmeric, ginger galangal, coriander, bay leaves, lime leaves, and lemongrass, all the spices are ground and smeared on the chicken, the leaves and lemongrass are put into the chicken, and wrapped in banana leaves to add aroma too after it is entered in the combustion for up to half an hour.

They went back to their base to talk about it.

Kayli: we only have two choices of the seven spice fish soup or the spice chicken

Zellna: For spiced chicken, it's too long and too complicated to make

Toni: Seven spice fish soup is easy, but it has to be hot all the time and if no one buys it, the water will recede

Michael: why don't we just try the two of them first, we have people who can carry a lot of stuff.

All eyes are on Toni

Toni: well, it's because I'm big, but you guys have to help too

And heard it all laughed.

Before the sun came up they Toni, Zellna, Kayli, and Michael gathered food and equipment, after all the ingredients were gathered, and they tried to cook.

Toni: Ok, all the ingredients have been gathered, it's time for us to COOK!!!

Kayli: Ok we have to grind all the ingredients except the leaf ones ok

Toni and Michael: OK READY!!!

Zellna is outside making coals to cook his chicken, and they are happy to do so for the betterment of their beloved village. They waited until the chicken was cooked, but their first attempt failed and found that the leaves covering the chicken were no less thick, causing the chicken to burn.

Kayli: how about this instead of making three layers instead of just one layer

Michael: Hehehehe Sorry

Kayli: Huhhhhh, well we still have some, let's make some more don't burn it again

Michael: Ok sip hehehe

The second trial of the chicken was successfully made perfectly cooked inside and out and the taste was very pleasing to the tongue, now they make a lot of spiced chicken. They will leave the next day rush to go and bring equipment to sell there.

The next day, after a long journey they finally arrived at a town called Zp'Roh, many people from the village to sell in Zp'Roh because this town is a city close to the Port, this is a good route to introduce their village. Kayli, Zellna, Toni, Michael arrived at his place and they would tidy up their things and pitch the tent.

Kayli: Ok, everything is in order, it's time for us to WORK!!!

All: YES!!!!

The sun has reached the head and the chicken is cooked, it's time to sell, after the chicken was cooked, there were several people who came to their place, Zellna gave a tester and they really liked the food, their food ran out in just a few hours, but there were some traders who did not like their arrival, As they packed up their things and left quickly but Kayli, Zellna, Toni and Michael were caught by some other merchants,

Qkul: Hey you guys are they going home? (with ridiculous talk), oh hiya, let me introduce myself, I am a trader Qkul who has been trading here for a long time and saw the strange things that you guys made.

Toni: What's odd? we trade normally, nothing strange

Qkul: YOU SAY THERE'S NOTHING WONDERFUL, YOU JUST COME AND YOUR BUYERS HAVE A LOT OF BUYERS IS THAT NOT WEIRD!!!

Michael: Wow clam down, well that's weird, but could you not use a loud voice? We'll have a good talk, ok?

Qkul: Ok, you must be using something wrong

Michael: no, we sell honestly, we sell with our village recipe

Qkul: where is your village

Michael: we live in Gl'dizo village

Qkul: ahhh diaman it's the village of Gl'dizo you don't know where it is, ohhh it's true that you're using something magical, I don't know your village.

Other traders also said "yes, where is it, we just don't know"

Zellna: It's not true we just sell it honestly don't use anything weird.

Kayli: That's right, we only use spices

Qkul: AHHHH WE ALL DON'T BELIEVE IN YOUR WORDS, TOMORROW UNTIL YOU SELL HERE AGAIN DON'T HOPE YOU GET HOME SAFELY, YOU GO.

Toni, Zellna, Kayli, and Michael were very annoyed at their words, all the way home. Hey Crying.

Zellna: We can't sell anymore when our food is sold out and they all like it. (speaking in a stuttering voice)

Kayli: well, okay, how come the merchants don't like us selling?

Toni: AHHHH why are they jealous

Michael: I'm afraid that their wares won't sell well and feel competitive

When they returned to the village, they were questioned by some villagers and some were shocked and angry, but they couldn't do anything about it either. They returned to their respective homes and the results were disappointed.

After a week of that incident, Michael and Zellna met at their usual place to talk about what happened that time.

Zellna: Ahhhh I'm really disappointed what happened last week, even though we were honest and didn't do anything weird, right?

Michael: Why do humans have no heart

While they were talking about this, Kayli and Toni came in with heavy breaths.

Kayli and Toni: Hey you guys come with us

It turned out that their village was crowded with people from outside the village. It turns out that there are some people who really like their cooking and they find out where they live and it turns out they overheard the conversation from the merchant when the merchant was talking about them after the incident.

Michael and Zellna: Ahhhhhhhh how come?

From there, their village became famous and became the center of attention from several cities around it and until many people wanted to ask for the recipe and open a restaurant outside the village so that their village would be more famous.
