Chapter 114: Chapter 59: Dry Tobacco Pipe_3

Lady Zhang needed to nourish her body, and Lian Shouxin, being the primary labor force, needed to eat well too, and the younger ones were also growing, so the nutritional additions had to be substantial.

Lian Manman thus asked Butcher Zhang to weigh out a jin of backyard pork.

Once the fatback was weighed, there was a total of eleven jin and some odd change, which was rounded to eleven jin. At fourteen wen money per jin, it came to one hundred and fifty-four wen money. Three large bones weighing five and a half jin were ten wen money per jin, adding up to fifty-five wen money, plus one jin of the backyard pork at twenty wen money per jin, the total was two hundred and twenty-nine wen money.

"Add one more wen money to make it an even three hundred wen," Butcher Zhang said, and then cut another piece of meat, throwing it into the scale where it tipped over a liang.
