Aware that the lamb was not suitable for the storage, the "burgisi" He operated another little bartering with the butcher who ceded a part of the lamb, receiving in return an amount of pork that, mixed with the lean lamb, She allowed him to get a sausage that could last a few weeks over the Easter period.
