"This bone is not good, look how flat both ends are, there's hardly any meat. For making soup, you really need big bones. See this one?

Keke spoke up, "These bones can't compare to the big ones, but they're better than nothing, and you can still get some broth from them."

Manbao insisted, and the vendor hesitated for a moment, "We're all villagers here, I won't ask for much from you. Just give me ten coins and take them all, I won't even weigh them."
