"Not too far from here, near the gate a marketplace has been
there for centuries, where the old market-women were selling not only the crude
goods, but also great home cooked food, which they put in big pans and pushed
up here in a baby carriage and they were selling it, like they did in
steak-houses (lacikonyha). Kati néni did in the very same way; she was called
„fertályos” (quarter) woman, because she was cooking duck very deliciously and
she was cutting it in four pieces and selling it in this way. When the market closed,
she contuinued selling her products right here, in this place and she became
the favorite of the city, so the city set up a statue of her. She still serves
the city, because if you touch her nose, she brings you luck. "
