Mystery of Coastal Village

Chapters 19. Mingling with Mothers

"Why is it wet like this?" asked Pak Bakrie astonished to see the porch of his house wet as hit by rain water only.

"Oh, that's sir. Tata friend Nak Aldi was not feeling well and vomiting" said one mother.

"Oh yeah, where is he now? Have you been given cold medicine?" asked Pak Bakri with a worried expression.

"Not sir, later we will give him medicine and now he's coming with Loli's mother to his house to be scraped," explained the other mother.

"OK fine. I have to go now and just happen to pass by in this place" said Mr. Bakri and immediately left everyone.

Everyone nodded and whispered then returned to their respective jobs.

Aldi pampit into the house to rest because it has long not rested quietly.

Thank you, ma'am" Tata told Bu Loli for giving her a bath.

"Together son, what's your name?" ask Bu Loli to Tata.

"My name is Tata Bu" replied Tata kindly.

"Nak Tata eat first yes," said Bu Loli offering Tata to eat at his home.

"No need ma'am," replied Tata feeling bad or condescending.

"Had let's just eat here, you must have been hungry because the contents of your stomach have all come out," persuaded Bu Loli so that Tata would accept his invitation.

"The company of the mother ate yes because the mother had not had time to eat since this morning," Pinta Bu Loli later.

"All right, ma'am." It is not good to refuse finally Tata accepted the offer of Bu Loli after all his stomach is already very hungry. The worms in his stomach had kicked the walls of his stomach because he was starving.

"Yes, come on." Bu Loli pulled Tata's hand and brought her into the kitchen.

"I'm sorry it's just this." Bu Loli took out the kale ozeng and fried squid from the cupboard.

They also eat both. Although the food menu there is only a simple menu according to Bu Loli, but for Tata himself feel very enjoy the food. The food is very delicious on the tongue Tata because the fried squid that he eats feels fresh because it is taken directly from the sea unlike the cooked squid his mother who has preserved with ice so that when cooked even removing water and the shape of the smell becomes very small compared to when not cooked.

"This is very tasty even according to Tata Bu," said Tata. In addition to the taste of fresh and stir-fried fresh oseng kale that the spice fits Tata also has two days not to enjoy rice and side dishes and vegetables. During his stray he only ate bread and when he found food in front of him there was only pseudo-not real food as seen at a glance. What is there is food is a fake form of disgusting animals.

"Let's add more." Bu Loli added rice and fried squid and vegetables to Tata's plate. The woman looked happy Eat ravenously.

"Thank you Mom, but after this don't add any more yes Mom because Tata is full," said Tata with a friendly smile.

"OK," replied Bu Loli as she continued eating her own meal.

Finish eating Tata to wash the dishes where he ate, but prevented by Bu Loli.

"No need to be washed so that later in the afternoon the mother who washes her pearinng. Now I have to go out to finish my job of polishing the fish. Better come with me out yuk!" take Miss Loli.

Tata nodded resignedly there is no way he washed dishes in the house while the occupants of his house were not in the house. He could be a suspect if there is something missing inside the house.

Bu Loli came out of the house and locked the door of the house while Tata just tailed from earlier.

"Son Tata can go back to the house of Nak Tata himself to rest and mother wants to continue her work first," said Bu Loli when he reached the place where the mothers gathered.

Intrigued by what the mothers did, Tata did not go and joined them all. Tata watched even several times trying to polish the fish.

"Had not to be broken by Neng," a mother reprimanded to see the fish mistaken by Tata split into 2 when it should be even though the fish is not split until the stomach.

"It's okay Nak nomenclature is still learning normal if wrong," said Bu Loli supported nods all the mothers in this place.

"This is what I teach you." A young mother came forward next to Tata and taught the girl to gleam the right fish.

"What's his name?" ask him on Tata.

"Yes Ma'am" said Tata because he saw the woman was very young. Maybe 2 years on it.

"Here look at me! Cut off his head first and then part his stomach but don't split in two." The young mother spoke while practicing.

"OK," said Tata and then tried to practice.

"Ye finally I can," said Tata enthusiastically because he can finally do as they can. The mothers just laughed at Tata who was like a little.

"After being cleared continue this fish flanked? Sold it out?" tanya Tata curious. It is also useful as one of the reports on his duties later.

"Dijemur first Nak Tata was sold," said Bu Loli.

"Oh dried up first?" tanya Tata made sure.

"Yes Ta" replied the young mother who had taught Tata.

"How much does it cost if it's dry?" ask Tata again.

"The price varies, if this one is usually only 25 thousand but if this one can be up to 45 thousand per kilogram," explained the young mother.

"Oh cheap yes Mbak even though if it is dry the fish is so light, so the thought that the volume is a lot," guess Tata.

"Yes it is."

"No loss, huh?" ask Tata again.

"It is not the fish that catches itself from the sea. Only with the same solar energy, but still lose if the results are a little. If now God does not lose because the results of shrimp, shellfish, squid and other quality fish are more than enough to replace diesel money. So these fish consider it just more," explained the young woman again.

Tata only the mangosteen heard the woman's explanation.

"Oh yeah Ma'am can know her mom's name?" tata asked, curious about the easily familiar woman's name.

"I'm Rifa" said the young woman.

"Okay, Sister Rifa. Then the fish head will be discarded or kept?"

"It's sold."

"sold?" tanya Tata was astonished. "What did someone buy?"

"There is the origin of dried also first we will sell perkilogram also to chicken farmers or catfish to be used as their pet food."

"Oh so yeah." Tata only the mangosteen heard every explanation of the Rifa.

"It's good to live in this village even though it's not a civil servant women can make money nor a hundred percent dependent on husbands."

"Yes Nak Tata, but our backs and waists are gouged like this every day," said Bu Loli, making everyone laugh to hear him.

Seriate.
