Qiao Duo'er spoke slowly, "This meat is reserved for sale, the trotters and pheasant, thirty wen; ribs, eighteen wen; chicken eggs, two wen each. What would you like?"
"You must be crazy for money, selling at such high prices. Why don't you just go rob someone?"
Wang Clan said irritably. The meat in town wasn't even this expensive!
Qiao Duo'er couldn't be bothered to explain. She and Tan Zhenghong had discussed and agreed upon these prices together with his younger brother.
Once the meat is cooked, its weight lessens; a pound of raw pork ends up weighing just over six taels after cooking, while ribs would be just over seven taels. With the trotters' central large bones removed, their price is naturally higher.
If Wang Clan found it too expensive, she was free not to buy. After all, Qiao Duo'er wasn't forcing anyone to buy or sell.
But to expect her to give it away for free—that was out of the question!
