"Oh, no, auntie, we cannot and let alone we cannot chill 'em, we're not going cut and wrap for you. So soon we pau you gotta come and grab 'em." And so that part of contradicting yourself and saying "small scale" but then the cattle is ten, it's like oh! Wait, wait, wait, wait. She only like slaughter maybe one or two.
