As for the farm workers, there had been more opportunities to eat eggs in the past half year, but the chances to eat pork were still rare. Although the situation was somewhat better than the 70s, and buying meat no longer required ration tickets, supplies were still tight with not enough live pigs being sent to market. So even if you had money, you couldn't always buy fresh pork.
There was a vegetable market in the city, which also had a pork stall, but there was only half a pig's worth of meat available there each day. If citizens were late, they wouldn't be able to buy any meat. Such scarcity of meat made it clear why the farm's canteen would only serve it every few days.
After the military district took away ten pigs, the farm also began slaughtering pigs to sell meat.
