“This is really good,” said Tria.
“I know that eel is small and usually we buy it like chips. What yes, just call it eel chips. Fried with that flour. And the eel just feels the bone because it's so small, like there's no flesh. Not like this,” reviewed Tria again.
“Interfect. Such eel buyers are usually special people craftsmen peyek eel or eel chips. They took the size of a very small eel.”
“And if they are made by eel, they ask for a very large size, because we also provide something like that. Like abon lele. They asked for a super jumbo size. So we make up to 3 or four times the usual normal size in the market,” explained Herry.
“I know that eels are just that. Even fried at home never felt, because never cooked eel,” replied Tria.
Today Fitri is deliberately making eel pepes favorite of husband and children. While patinnya he makes sour sauce. Those are the only two dishes they made today. Of course with the addition of raw tomato sauce and fried tempeh and some vegetables from the garden. Simple menu for their lunch one family plus Tria.
“Thank you, Mother. I'll try tomorrow,” said Tria again.
“Yes you just bring the raw materials. For you to try at home tomorrow,” Fitri said.
“Siap Mbak, same important leatherback wuluh. Rich starfruit wuluh I fear can not be in the shop,” reply said Tria without shame.
“Topping just pick up Mbak in the back. I also picked up koq,” timbal timbah.
“Each Deck, later remember me yes to pick up starfruit first before going home. Enough so there is not much to throw away. Unfortunately if samppai is much,” Tria continues to talk but while enjoying the appetizing food.
“Iya true. Seconds as necessary,” said Bu Gendis.
“Not giving. But it is a pity that it is wasted. Here I usually harvest if the fruit is much. Then I give it to the vegetable maker for free so they can sell. baby if many fall out without being able to use.”
“Create what? Mom sells one crackle? Let it be used by vegetable sellers do not need a mother who sells.” replied Gendis with a smile.
“This is also very good Ma'am. I really just ate vegetable fish cooked asem like this,” Tria told Fitri.
“Mbak also that time said like that Deck. Really tacky aren't we both?” fitri. Yanto smiled at his wife's words. He recalled how Fitri's expression was when he first ate pepes patin and sour gravy when the girl came first to the village. Patinnya Fitri bought accidentally while traveling with Tin and there are harvesting in the pond.
“Maybe it's just as bad as me, if I eat a steak or eat something that makes you guys it's normal,” said Timah.
“True,” says Gendis wisely.
“It all depends on our habits only. Mom's time in Singapore was like that. Sometimes I am confused that there is no price here there in the puja and in the proud, while there is no meaning in our country it is very valuable. So it's all because of habits and environment alone,” said Gendis.
“Ya right,” says Yanto.
“It should be like that not made a mockery. Many people ridicule something that he considers ordinary even though for others wah!”
“Yes, that's why I said right, I'm the tacky one. Not anyone else,” Fitri said gently. He doesn't like bullying people the most.
“Iya Ma'am. Indeed that is how we feel,” Tria also agrees with the opinion of Fitri.
Herry just kept quiet to see everything at the dinner table talking. He just couldn't believe Tria could even get into his family's chat warmly.
