Walking down the streets of the fishing village to wedding reception - steemamal50pc

MONDAY, 09 AUGUST 2021

Today I will attend the wedding invitation of one of my co-workers. The event took place in Jambo Village, Blang Mangat District. Jambo village is located in the coastal area. The main source of income for the people comes from the sea or as fishermen.

At 12.00 am we headed to the event location by motorbike. The journey to the location takes about 15 minutes. We will pass through the area of aquaculture and the typical scenery of the coastal area. Although the hot weather did not make us hot because the wind that blew was quite refreshing.

On the way we also met several mothers drying small shrimp. Small shrimp caught in the sea are not sold immediately but are dried in the sun for a few days until the shrimp dries up. We call it "ebi" as a home industry product. In the market, good quality ebi sells for around 1.50 - 2.00 Steem for 100 grams.

This work is usually done by the wives of the fishermen to help the family economy. The majority of fishermen wives use some of their husband marine catches to be used as products such as salted fish, ebi and others.

Happy new life. Allah SWT has united you in a noble marriage bond. May we become a sakinah mawaddah warrahmah family, united until the end of life.

After wishing the bride and groom a new life and having lunch. We chatted with some of the guests we knew. Next we met the parents of the bride and groom and said goodbye while shaking hands. He thanked us for coming.

Before returning home, we stopped at one of the popular tourist attractions in North Aceh Regency. We only ordered young coconut to freshen the throat. One young coconut for 1.1 Steem for today's value of steem in rupiah. Before 2 pm we immediately left for home to continue our respective work.
