Chapitre 557: Chapter 557 Growth (4)_1

According to the mediator, despite owning tens of thousands of livestock, his family has never killed a single animal for food. Even during the ritual ancestral offerings on the eighth day of the lunar December, he can't afford to buy a piece of meat as offering. He let his son borrow a Jin of cooked meat from the meat shop that buys their livestock, put it in a basin, and add a few coins in a dish. They would worship their ancestors this way and pray, saying "Drinking alcohol harms your health, please eat meat, our ancestors. The meat is borrowed from the meat shop and is fresh and edible. I was too busy to buy fruits, so please accept the coins as a substitute."

After the ritual was over, he sent his son to return the meat to the meat shop.
