Pork back fat has the highest oil yield, followed by pork fat, and then pork fat.
Pork fat is also the most expensive part of a pig.
Butcher Hu never expected his daughter to be so generous, even offering pork fat in exchange.
He felt a pang of heartache.
But thinking about the meals he'd been eating these past few days—chicken, duck, fish, meat, eggs, plus mutton and rabbit—he could understand that his daughter wasn't too keen on lard and fatty meat.
The only thing I can't understand is why they seem to like offal and pork bones more?
These two things are either troublesome to wash and have an unpleasant smell, or they have little meat and oil. Poor families who don't have meat or oil buy these as a treat. Why would they eat these when they have meat to eat?
It would be great to exchange it for mushrooms, even if it's just a few pounds less.
Butcher Hu was chopping ribs with loud banging.
Oh, right, my daughter said she'll keep the spare ribs for our own family too.
Hu Wenhua enthusiastically and responsibly explained: "Sure, sure! But there's not much pork fat or lard on top. It'll be calculated per household, and each household will get at most half a jin."
When the villagers heard that they could indeed exchange it, and that there was still half a jin (250 grams) left, they were overjoyed and didn't know what to do.
Half a jin is a lot.
You know, before, when they went to the pork stall, they wouldn't even buy too much pork fat, let alone pork back fat or pork fat.
"How is this calculated? How many kilograms of mushrooms are included?"
"We haven't picked enough mushrooms yet. Can we pay you back in the next few days when we've picked enough?"
After receiving the notification yesterday, everyone in their family who could help came out, and they picked up almost ten pounds in one day!
It can be exchanged for about two or three pounds of pork.
But if we replace it with this fat, it probably won't be enough. The weather is hot now, so we can't put it out. If we wait until we pick mushrooms to replace it later, the pork will have already gone bad.
Shuiqing happened to come out to see how the pigs were being cleaned. Upon hearing this, she smiled and said, "Sure, it's fine from now on. You know I have several pigs at home. If you want to exchange them, just pick some mushrooms and bring them over."
I've recorded the quantities for you, so we can just exchange them for pork each time we slaughter a pig, okay?
"Yes, yes!" the women surrounding them said hastily.
I just felt that Shui Qing was really generous.
There's nothing that can't be done!
This is pork, plump and juicy pork.
Mushrooms are delicious, and they make a wonderful soup, but nothing beats pork.
Moreover, mushrooms are free and easy to grow. When the season comes and it rains, they are everywhere on the mountains and fields. It only takes a little time to pick them.
With the floods blocking the roads, all they have is time.
The biggest shortage in Shuiqing is manpower!
Termitomyces mushrooms cost nearly 200 yuan per jin in the mall, and even those with open caps cost 167 yuan per jin. How much pork could you buy with one jin of mushrooms? Especially since the cheapest things on the mall are pork fat and the like!
In Shanshui Village, four catties of chicken mushrooms can only be exchanged for one catty of fatty meat. How could she possibly be reluctant to part with them?
You know, there are only a few months a year when termite mushrooms are available, and they are most abundant after the rain. Once you miss this opportunity, you won't have another chance, so you have to hurry up and pick mushrooms to make money!
Thinking of this, she added, "If there's not enough pork, how about eggs instead? Look at my chickens, they lay more eggs than we can eat every day."
Two pounds of mushrooms can be exchanged for one pound of eggs. Those willing to trade can register.
Hu Wenhua thought his sister's mind worked really fast!
Now we collect more than a hundred eggs every day. There are thirteen people in our family who eat a lot, but we only eat forty or fifty eggs a day. My mother says that the eggs have already piled up in several baskets!
In hot weather, eggs don't keep well, and it's not particularly convenient to transport them out to sell. They're a good choice to use in exchange for mushrooms.
