This price was very reasonable, especially when all sorts of supplies were in short supply during the Chinese New Year.
The woman was taken aback and asked, "Only money? No coupons?"
"Yes, no coupons, just money. The dried rabbit meat is fifty cents a pound, which is a good deal. You should know that fresh rabbit meat is already thirty cents a pound, and you still need two liang of grain coupons per pound," He Tiantian explained, "We hunt on our own in the countryside, and there's too much to eat, so we're selling some to make a bit of money. If you want some, you don't have to queue up to sell meat, and you can still have a fat year."
The middle-aged woman was tempted. Yes, even with money in hand and a one-pound meat coupon, she could only buy one pound of pork this year. She could save a bit from her salary, but she didn't have any extra meat coupons. Thinking this, the middle-aged woman agreed, "Okay then, I'll take one to try."
