Capítulo 479: 479 pig offal

Qingyue paid twenty-two cents and was about to leave when she saw several baskets under the meat stall, filled with pig's large intestines and some de-boned pig bones. She curiously asked, "Uncle Fat, why are these pig intestines and pig bones thrown down here? Are they sold at a different price?"

"You mean this pig offal? No one buys it." Pork Fat waved his hand, "Pig bones have no meat on them, and pig offal stinks terribly, giving off a foul smell when stir-fried. No one likes to eat it, so it's sold at a low price of one cent per jin every day. Only those who can't afford pork buy it, and those who can't afford meat would rather not eat it. It often goes unsold and ends up being thrown away."

What! She was shocked. Pig intestines were such a good thing, properly cleaned, they had no stench at all, and dishes like braised pig's large intestine were the most delicious!

In modern times, pig's large intestines are sold at a price half more expensive than meat.
