Juhua laughed. "Listen to you, Dad. How could we make sausages without pigs?"
The next day, the Zheng Family bought over a hundred pounds of pork from the market to make sausages, planning to compare this new batch to their own and see how big the difference was.
In preparation for making more sausages, Zheng Changhe started going to Xiatang Market early every morning to buy up all the pig intestines. Juhua would clean them thoroughly, use chopsticks to scrape off the fatty layer until only a thin membrane remained, and then leave them to partially air-dry for later use.
At the same time, Zheng Changhe also let the villagers know that if they were slaughtering a pig, they could sell the pork to the Zheng Family. He offered two cents more per jin than the market, which delighted the villagers.
