In these times, everyone loves eating fatty meat. When the lady saw her asking for three pounds of pure lean meat, she thought the child didn't know better and said, "Yuan Chun, that lean meat is tough and dry, not good to eat. How can it compare to fatty meat? You should get more fatty meat. When you go home, you can render lard and eat the pork cracklings, they're fragrant and delicious."
"Auntie, I like eating lean meat."
Crispy little pieces of lean meat are tastier than pork cracklings.
However, Yuan Chun wouldn't say it outright.
These days, everyone uses just a tiny bit of oil to cook. Some families even boil their vegetables without any oil. If she said she used oil to fry lean meat, wouldn't it bring more resentment towards her?
The lady didn't say anything further upon hearing she liked it.
