"After two years of drought in northern Jin, fewer people in the border towns are raising pigs, making it difficult to buy pork on the streets."
Lu Qiqi said, "It's not easy on the streets, so there must be other ways?"
Ren Yuan pondered, "Yes, there are. They are all from several large families, and each family gets a pig from the pig farmer."
In other words, it requires large-scale purchases.
In early July, the weather was hot, and there was no ice here, so it was impossible to preserve pork.

When Ren Yuan learned that Lu Qiqi had actually eaten at the Yuelai Inn, he figured that three taels of silver wasn't a lot of money for her.
Although he didn't want to say it, he couldn't help but think to himself, 'Rich girls are so beautiful!'
