The Fuller is a tool for grinding food lytic , widely used even in our district Coayllo. It consists of a larger flat stone that can reach about 40 cm high and 60 cm in diameter or side, the fuller the same, and a smaller stone to grind or breast called a hand sometimes. The smaller stone is held with both hands and sways over the food. As you want do with it, holding the weight of the nail slightly above the batten, is allowed to carry their weight or press.
Many who began to migrate to Lima I could have passed this story.
Aurelio was a villager who had married recently and his beloved as any young couple, had high aspirations, especially for their children and decided with his wife Mechita migrate to Lima, settled in the Northern Cone, in Carabayllo more or less in the early 80's.
One of the terrible conditions suffered by immigrants to the capital is in the food. A great food prepared by our grandmothers is the "Andean Potatoes" but with cream made in the "blessed Fuller." Our grandmothers had an amazing flavor and certainly many secrets and ignored the existence of the blender.
When reached Lima has had to struggle to become more pronounced, and adapt to the technological modernity of the capital. Aurelio wanted to eat a delicious "chicken rice" with his "Andean Potatoes" Coayllo style, was not enough to borrow the blender Mechita his neighbor, he wanted to taste his favorite dish as did his mother . Mechita not hesitate to apologize in the absence of her "fuller" challenge Aurelio did not hesitate to confront.
On the next visit of the couple referred to his native Coayllo, Aurelio did not hesitate to bring your neighborhood Carabayllo your friend "fulling." But I had a little obstacle called "shame."
- What will the Friends Coayllo if you see me get on the bus buddy "Alvarado" with the aforementioned Fuller?
-and even worse what will the neighborhood friends in Carabayllo?
never saw someone take your Coayllo Fuller of Lima. But remember what rich Aurelio cream of potato to Huancayo in the fuller and starts to run a way how to get to Lima with him.
persimmons in a drawer rather large batten placed the precious (the largest stone) and covered with apples that had chosen from his farm, just as he proceeded with another box for the nail (smaller stone .) Then send them with great care in shipping goods on the truck as "Don Arnaldo", asking him to please leave both boxes in the post 315 of Fruit Wholesale Market of La Victoria, where his cousin "Goyo".
Aurelio their crates arrive at about 7.00 am to where his cousin "Goyo" and just left Coayllo bound bus Mala "Alvarado" with his beloved Mechita had planned before coming to a stop Carabayllo Wholesale Market .
Transport Company Malena "Huapaya" leave the young couple in the Ring Avenue, opposite the wholesale market, and Aurelio Mechita properly instructed that it must wait while he collected the crates of apples from which the cousin, which made very carefully one by one, because it was not a normal box, only the married couple knew their real content.
Alegres
Mechita and Aurelio were in Ring Avenue, practically already had in their humble home Carabayllo this historic stone tools that had been going on from generation to generation. Missing the last part of carriage which waited patiently for the bus that would take.
The wait was long, were impatient spouse. Finally came the "micro", so hurry Aurelio showed that the collector only managed to load one of the drawers, the collector as a way to make faster the rise of the passengers took the other drawer. Aurelio bad luck, the collector took the heaviest drawer and ignore their real content is loaded as if it were just fruit and bowed to the weight box and all the apples next to Fuller ended on the floor.
The bus moved on. As Aurelio Mechita and collected their belongings, had to endure the comments of passersby, who could not believe what I watched, for they both were naive, because they thought they had crates of apples sold in carrying stones to increase weight.
finally arrived home with her fuller outdoors, after all, and no matter what I hear, important thing was to get home.
The lithic tool base lies today as one of the bedrooms of his daughters ...
How?
"In one of the many campaigns" NÃsperos Harvest ", the fifties and couples to return to Lima, was the bedroom of one of his daughters built and asking for fuller precious disappeared and protagonist of this story , Miss daughter responded that it lacked stones for the construction of the base.
