Chapter 478: 478 pork fat
If Lai Zitou really ca for revenge, it wouldn’t be a problem for her, but it would be troubleso for the fourth brother at ho. However, since she had already handled the situation, she had made up her mind.
Because she had a purpose – she still needed to find a market for the 10,000 jin of dried ferns and over 2,000 jin of bayberry wine at ho. Becoming famous would surely boost sales, so it was beneficial for her.
Bending down, she stepped on Lai Zitou’s chest again, narrowing her Phoenix eyes, “Lai thief, listen to closely: if you dare to co to my house for revenge, I won’t just break your leg; I will take your life. Understand?!”
“I…I understand…” Lai Zitou had several broken teeth and quickly nodded in panic.
The crowd was still astonished by how Su Qingyue had brutally broken soone’s leg with just one stool strike. So ruthless! It was heart-stopping!
Seeing that the sun was already up, Su Qingyue squeezed out of the crowd and left.
Granny Zheng suddenly ca to her senses, “Where is our benefactor Su? Where did she go?”
Soone said, “She’s already gone far.”
“I haven’t even thanked the benefactor yet…” Granny Zheng regretfully patted her thigh.
The young woman who had her gold ingot moneybag returned was also irritated; she had been frightened by the benefactor’s action and had completely forgotten to thank her as well.
Su Qingyue originally ca to town to get a wheelchair but didn’t expect that so many things would happen along the way.
It wasn’t that she looked for trouble; trouble found her instead.
Who could have known that the thief would target her hard-earned money?
Instead of going directly to Lady Li’s shop, she first went to the Vegetable Market.
Although they always ate fried fish at ho, they hadn’t had at for many days.
She wanted to eat at…
Taking a wheelchair to buy at would be too troubleso, so it was better to carry a few jin of at and then go to Lady Li’s shop.
She stopped at a at stall. The stall displayed half a pig body processed, but it still hadn’t been cut into pieces. A few large chunks of at were casually placed around it.
A wood post in each external side of the stall had a horizontal pole connecting it, allowing a row of wooden hooks to hang from the pole. The hooks carried pig heads and pig legs.
The at stall owner, a chubby middle-aged man, saw her stop by. As a butcher accustod to killing pigs, he didn’t fear her appearance, “Girl, you want to buy pork? I just slaughtered the pig this morning; the at is fresh!”
“How much per jin?”
“Eleven cents.”
“Give two jin, please.” She initially wanted to buy more but thought about how her money had been shrinking. Apart from the eight taels of private money, there was only one tael of silver left at ho, and she had only four hundred copper coins left in her hand. She decided to save a little.
The stall owner picked up a heavy pig-killing knife and chopped down on the fat.
Su Qingyue said, “Why are you chopping the fat for ? I want lean at. Are you saying that fat is eleven cents and lean at is a different price?”
“Girl, you want lean at? Alright.” The stall owner agreed readily, “Usually, people prefer fat at. I didn’t expect you to like lean at. No wonder you look so thin.”
It turned out that people in ancient tis preferred fatty at. She didn’t like eating fat, but maybe her second brother did? “Then give one jin of fat and one jin of lean at.”
“Sure!” The stall owner skillfully cut two pieces and weighed them, and they were just right.
Su Qingyue said, “Uncle, your knife skills are more accurate than a scale. You didn’t miss a single bit.”
“It’s just basic accuracy; I’ve been selling pork at the market for decades, and practice makes perfect. Everyone calls Pork Fat.”
Pork Fat… Su Qingyue couldn’t help but giggle, “You’re indeed quite plump.”
“My na is Li Biao. I was always so fat, so everyone called Pork Fat after a while.” He handed Su Qingyue the two pieces of pork strung together with a straw rope.
