Translation (Rita Seng Mai) We pound salt and chilli. Our stomach cannot resist chilli when we get older. It is too spicy. But we ate when we were young. Some are eating green chilli by toasting with the salt. Then they eat the dried chilli too. Everyone eats chilli. If we do not put chilli in our dishes, we just eat spicy chilli alone. But chilli is not growing well in some places in our highland area. The Japanese already arrived at the places where we have just talked about. The chilli is growing well in the upper area of Njang Yang. There are aplenty of chillies around this season. There are aplenty of small chillies. They don't even need to plant. The birds ate small chillies. The birds ate those. The small birds called Kataw ate those and just spread the feces on the farm. Then, chilli plants were growing from the waste the birds produced. There is a lot of chillies somewhere. There are a lot. People from lowland area grow chilli plants in a farm and sell them in the market. There don't grow chilli plants in some part of our highland areas. So, we have to buy chillies from the others to eat. And there are many kinds of chillies. There is the lion chilli. It is really big and very spicy. It is said that that chilli can even make people feel extremely hot. There are around ten kinds of chillies in the highland. There are small chillies, white chillies, green chillies and very long chillies too. There is an abundance of chillies in the highland. Transcription (Ja Seng Roi) Jum hte Majap dai htu ai.
