Lin Sanshui was about to ask what pork sausages were when he saw an old lady at the door. "Sanshui, is there any pork left? Little Niu is insisting on eating meat, and I'm out of options. If there is any left, could you spare some for me?"
The visitor was none other than Little Niu's grandmother, known to be a tough character. She and Mrs. Zhang could get along as in-laws, a testament to the saying "only a family can enter the door of another family."
"Yes, Auntie, there's still quite a bit of pork left. Come and take a look, which piece do you want? Pick a good one, and I'll slice it for you," Lin Sanshui said politely.
Little Niu's grandmother looked for a long time, picking this and that, before finally pointing at a piece of fatback, "This one, please."
Lin Sanshui expertly sliced it and was just about to hand it over when she spoke with a troubled expression on her old face, "This meat is good, but it must be quite expensive, right?"
