Miss Yeti is No Ordinary PSK

Sugarcane Flower

In the rice fields, it is the spring of sugarcane. That means, the sugarcane is time to harvest. The sugarcane water is sweet, can be used to make java sugar, for Javanese sugar craftsmen in the village of Yati.

There are also Javanese sugar entrepreneurs, who deposit sugar cane crops to larger factories, to be processed into white sugar, or sugar.

At the moment Yati is taking a walk on her own, in the rice field area. He looked at the children, who were busy looking for sugarcane flowers. Flower or sugarcane flower in Javanese is called gleges.

Usually, the stalk of the cane flower is what is used to play. Some are made rifles or can also be for other game tools, which are equated with bamboo segments. Although in fact, the strength of a bamboo stalk with a cane flower stalk is very different.

Stalks of sugarcane flowers, very easy to break. But, of course, it makes it easy for children, to mold it into a wide variety of types of games.

"I'm fucking okay." (I got a lot of )

"Jikokke kae lo zinc kembange!" (Get that alone the good flowers )

The crowd of children, sounds very happy. And Yati also smiled at the simple sight, but it made the children happy.

Cane flowers are similar to reed flowers, so sometimes, girls wear them for decoration. Although the flowers can not last longer, just like the reeds in general.

Yati approached one of the boys, and asked the boy for help, to get a young cane flower, so that the flowers would last longer because they had not bloomed perfectly.

"Le. Nyuwun tulung juupuke siji ya, seng iseh num. No zinc wes blooming, Ben durable." (Le is the name for a boy, in Java area )

"I'm Ma'am's gang?" (That's a )

Yati nodded in agreement to the boy's question. He waited, as the boy began to try to get the flowers that Yati wanted.

Soon, "this is Ma'am" said the boy, handing over one cane flower, which was young.

"Supervised suwun ya Le. It's money, make a rapper with the other friends."

Yati received the sugarcane flower, happily. He also gave the boy pocket money, so he could use it to buy food or drinks, along with his playmates.

"Wihhh, okay Iki Ma'am! Mature suwun yes Ma'am!"

Yati nodded, smiling happily, hearing the boy's words. He then turned around, and walked towards the village road. He wanted to go home, with the cane flowers.

Cane flowers are young, of course, the petals are very smooth, so Yati likes to pet-elus_nya. In the hand feels soft, there is like when stroking hair.

"Cho, Yati. What about omah? kirain wes behind the town," said someone, who is Mbok Minah's neighbor. The man had just left for the rice field.

That person felt shocked, seeing Yati still in the village. He thought that, Yati had already returned to the city again.

"The Mak Dhe Slope. Maybe a week's back." Yati answered and explained to her neighbor.

Finally, after a short chat, the neighbor paused to continue his journey to the rice field.

"Mak Dhe's crop bag?" ask Yati, who asked about her neighbor's plant.

"Burung, Iijeh as weekly as possible."

"Mugo-mugo kasil harvestnya," Yati prayer, for the crops that will be harvested in another week.

"Aamiin," said the man, accepting the hope and prayer spoken by Yati. He finally continued his journey again.

And Yati, walk again towards the direction of going home.

Liquor is sometimes called just a fat. That is a type of crackers made from rice dough that is seasoned with spices and flavor enhancers. To add to the elasticity sometimes added bleng, but if not using bleng can be added tapioca flour so that the raw dough becomes chewy and solid.

But because now, the use of bleng has been banned, because the content of boric acid or borax is harmful to health so that the food products produced become unsafe.

That is why, mbok Minah only mixes the ingredients of the rice crackers with tapioca flour only. Importantly, the spices used are fitting, so that the taste remains savory and delicious.

"Tap back, didn't you just leave?" tanya Minah, who saw the arrival of her grandson, Yati.

With a smile, Yati also sat in the bamboo bale, which was on the front porch of the house, which was occupied by Minah mbok as well. He took care of the small pieces of the crackers.

"Rame the kids on playing Mbok in the rice field. This is Yati asking for help earlier, just like one of them, to get the cane." Yati showed the sugar cane flower she had brought, to Minah's mbok.

Mbok Minah just nodded her head, when she saw with a glimpse of the flowers shown by Yati.

"What event is there today?" ask Yati, wondering what her symb will do today.

"Ono opo? The stand is not going anywhere. Koyok biasane, yes at the house wae."

Yati nodded happily, because he wanted to take his symbol to go for a walk to the market or to the mall in his area.

Still by helping Minah put the pieces of rice crackers, Yati expressed her desire to take her for a walk.

But because Minah mbok which is rarely to go far from home, of course. He was afraid, if tired when he came home from the streets.

"Yes, just stay here. Market how? no need to go to the Mall. Don't cook today either. We eat in the stalls, which are in the market or on the street we meet. What do you want to eat, just tell me later."

"Ah, usually food stalls Iku not fit. Not good according to Simbok. But yeah wes, it's okay. Let you also not be bored at home continue."

Finally, Mbok Minah agreed with Yati's invitation, to go sightseeing to the market today.

After agreeing to go to the market, Mbok Minah and Yati, both clean up all the equipment and ingredients of his rice crackers.

Yati helps mbok Minah dry her crackers that have just been cut into pieces, and are still wet. So it needs to be in the sun to be ready to be fried and eaten, as a companion when eating, or it can also be eaten directly when free.

After that, Yati also prepared, just like Mbok Minah did.

Shortly after, they both appeared to get out of the house, and into the car, after Minah locked the door of her house.

With the help of Yati, Minah mbok got into the car, only then Yati turned around, to get into the steering wheel.

He will drive his own car, to take Minah mbok for a walk. Even if it's just a simple place, like the market. Just like Mbok Minah wanted.

Yati was very happy, because Mbok Minah still remains healthy, at her advanced age.

Yati so have a desire to settle in the village, and do not want to return to the city again. He wants to accompany the days of Minah mbok. Because he does not know, until when mbok Minah can be as healthy as now.

Moreover, Mbok Minah has no one else, and only she is a family member owned by Mbok Minah.

Just like Yati, who also has no one.

Perhaps, the two of them were indeed in a meeting of fate, to take care of each other.
