Although still short of one thousand yuan to reach ten thousand, she's not worried at all, because aside from planning to sell more eggs, she doesn't intend to release any other goods for the time being.
The lard at home has already run out; this year she's rendered beef tallow, chicken fat, duck fat, and goose fat. The quantity isn't large, but it's enough to last until spring.
Since energy needs to be supplemented with these animal fats in the winter, she opted to give up using vegetable oil, using animal fats for cooking meals for the children instead.
When there's no meat to eat, she uses animal fat with dried vegetables to stew, sauerkraut stew, cabbage spinach stew; even if it just touches a bit of fat, the flavor is much better than dry fried dishes.
