Chapter 18: Renaldo
"Then.. How do you preserve the meat you hunt?" Coco sighed out with her shoulders sagging.
She decided to just accept the fact that this world's technology advancement is far from her previous world's.
She is not that smart to suddenly have an idea to create refrigerator or freezer in this new world. She might be one of the honoured students, but that does not that she is actually smart smart!
"What?" The man's eyebrows creased as he shot her a quick glance, "Look, I don't know what you're talking about preserve this, preserve that, but I don't preserve them. The villagers just buy them as soon as I'm done butchering the meat."
The man explained briefly as if it is the normal thing. Well, in a sense, it is, but to Coco? It is not.
"But you won't be open tonight, right? It's probably a little late to open your shop and I'm sure the villagers have already cooked something for dinner." Even though Coco wants to eat meat, she will have to be patient if she does not want to eat spoiled meat by morning.
"That's where you are wrong, Mrs. Hughes." The man scoffed out, but that was not what shocked Coco.
"You know me?" She let out a dramatic gasp which made the man raise an eyebrow in her direction as she back away in a exasperated way.
"Who wouldn't? You're the infamous turd of the Yogusho Village. Your reputation has spread far and wide, the fallen child of the Hughes family tree. It's actually shocking that you're not aware of this because truly, you were a proud woman that frequents the bar." The butcher waved the axe in the air, speaking nothing, but the truth.
