Because they can't sell the whole thing in time and Mutant Beast meat is extremely expensive, if it goes bad the butcher would lose his shirt, so they always turn more than half into cured meat instead. Although it affects the meat's effects a bit, it's still better than letting it spoil.
Ordinary meat costs about ten to twelve copper coins per jin, while Mutant Beast meat goes for fifty to eighty copper coins per jin, depending on the species.
The meat of this Blizzard Pig is one of the really tasty kinds, so the price is sixty copper coins per jin. The cured meat is the same price as the fresh, just with an extra two copper coins as processing fee.
Jian Shuangshuang immediately pulled out a Gold Coin in grand style and directly bought more than half of this Blizzard Pig, and of course she haggled the price.
