Lu Sheng had the children stay at home, while she prepared to go to the village entrance to buy some pork belly.
At the village entrance, a few people were selling items under a row of big trees. They sold ingredients like vegetables, tofu, and poultry.
When Lu Sheng arrived there, she realized that besides pork, beef was also sold here.
She was living in an era where agriculture was of paramount importance. Cows could not be casually killed.
If a domesticated cow died, the family had to report it to the officials before it could be sold.
Of course, there were still beef-sellers in the market, but they were a minority
"Aunty, how much is the beef?"
The beef-seller was a forty-year-old lady. She looked unfamiliar to Lu Sheng and seemed to be a foreigner in Liu Yue Village.
