Chapter 478: 478 pork fat

If Lai Zitou really came for revenge, it wouldn’t be a problem for her, but it would be troublesome for the fourth brother at home. 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 home. 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 me closely: if you dare to come 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 someone’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 came to her senses, “Where is our benefactor Su? Where did she go?”

Someone 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 came 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 home, they hadn’t had meat for many days.

She wanted to eat meat…

Taking a wheelchair to buy meat would be too troublesome, so it was better to carry a few jin of meat and then go to Lady Li’s shop.

She stopped at a meat stall. The stall displayed half a pig body processed, but it still hadn’t been cut into pieces. A few large chunks of meat 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 meat stall owner, a chubby middle-aged man, saw her stop by. As a butcher accustomed to killing pigs, he didn’t fear her appearance, “Girl, you want to buy pork? I just slaughtered the pig this morning; the meat is fresh!”

“How much per jin?”

“Eleven cents.”

“Give me 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 home, 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 me? I want lean meat. Are you saying that fat is eleven cents and lean meat is a different price?”

“Girl, you want lean meat? Alright.” The stall owner agreed readily, “Usually, people prefer fat meat. I didn’t expect you to like lean meat. No wonder you look so thin.”

It turned out that people in ancient times preferred fatty meat. She didn’t like eating fat, but maybe her second brother did? “Then give me one jin of fat and one jin of lean meat.”

“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 me Pork Fat.”

Pork Fat… Su Qingyue couldn’t help but giggle, “You’re indeed quite plump.”

“My name is Li Biao. I was always so fat, so everyone called me Pork Fat after a while.” He handed Su Qingyue the two pieces of pork strung together with a straw rope.
