Chapter 341: Braised Meat (1)
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“You can specify which part you want. If you only want specific parts, I’m afraid it won’t be 500 catties.” He could only kill three pigs a day at most, which added up to a thousand pounds of meat. However, there was only so much meat in each part.
Lin Xiaoyue smiled, then thought for a moment and said, “no specific part. How about this? I’ll take all the meat from two pigs, as long as it’s around 500-600 catties.”
“After the meat is ready, send it all to the Liu residence in Daishi Village. The housekeeper will settle the bill for you.”
It was actually more cost-effective for her this way.
If she hired someone to slaughter the pigs, she would also need to clean up after.
Since she was already in town, she might as well ask Butcher Zhang to do it.
“Sure! As for the price, don’t worry, I’ll only charge you 500 wen for this job. Then, I’ll send it all to your residence!” Butcher Zhang said.
Lin Xiaoyue smiled and nodded.
“Deal!”
Slaughtering, cleaning and delivering for 500 wen. It was very reasonable.
Even if this Butcher Zhang gave her less, it wouldn’t be too much less.
Anyway, she was happy to spend some money and save trouble.
Hehe, she did have money at the moment.
“Also, do you still have pig intestines?” Lin Xiaoyue said as she looked at Butcher Zhang’s meat stall.
Other than the pig intestines, she had reserved pig offal.
The eatery didn’t buy pig intestines because it was more complicated to process.
However, she was preparing to make sausages, which could not be without pig intestines.
Butcher Zhang paused.
He looked strangely at Lin Xiaoyue.
Pig offal was fishy and smelly. Only those who were extremely poor and wanted to eat meat would buy it.
The other internal organs were easier to deal with, but the intestines and stomach were the most smelly and difficult to deal with.
Sometimes, when he really couldn’t sell the meat at his stall, he might as well take it back to feed the dogs.
When Ms. Lin ordered pig offal, he felt that it was very strange.
Later on, he tasted the meat skewers and understood why.
But now, she was asking him for pig intestines? Did he hear wrongly?
Could it be that pig intestines could also be used to make those delicious spicy skewers?
“Butcher Zhang?” Before Butcher Zhang could answer, Lin Xiaoyue called out to him again.
“Oh.” Butcher Zhang quickly regained his senses.
“Do you really want pig intestines?”
“Yes.” Lin Xiaoyue nodded.
She thought of something and said to Butcher Zhang, “save the offal, including the intestines and stomach from those two pigs!”
Butcher Zhang was shocked. He looked at Lin Xiaoyue strangely and agreed.
“Sure!”
From the looks of it, perhaps the pig intestines and pig stomach could also be used to make spicy skewers…
Lin Xiaoyue smiled again.
“Today’s pig intestines haven’t been sold yet. If you want them, you can have them for 30 wen”
He usually sold these at 5 wen per catty. The full intestines from one pig was about 4 to 5 catties, but it was difficult to sell them.
If Ms. Lin wanted it, he would sell two full intestines for 30 wen. He would not lose out. Since they couldn’t be sold out, he would feed them to the dogs anyway.
“Great! Then please send them to my carriage!” Lin Xiaoyue hurriedly said.
“Alright!” Butcher Zhang replied.
He immediately went to get the basket containing the pig intestines.
When he arrived in front of Lin Xiaoyue’s carriage, he saw that there was nothing in the carriage to store the pig intestines, so he simply gave his basket to Lin Xiaoyue.
“I’ll lend you this basket. I’m going to deliver the goods to your residence tomorrow anyway. 1’11 take it back then!” Butcher Zhang said.
“Sure! Thank you very much, Boss Zhang!”
“You are too polite!”
Lin Xiaoyue paid the money and chatted with Butcher Zhang before leaving.
After that, she went to another meat stall and bought 6 more pig intestines, as well as some pig head meat and pig offal before leaving.
She really liked eating sausages.
Moreover, after buying the pig intestines, she could not help but want to make some braised meat as well.
Ever since she started her business, she had been so busy that she couldn’t relax.
These two days, she finally had some free time. She would cook something delicious as a reward for herself.
Therefore, after leaving the market, Lin Xiaoyue went to the grocery and the medicine store to buy some ingredients to make marinade.
After that, she returned to Daishi Village..
