I can now order a kg of ground pork

I'm planning a lunar new year dinner tomorrow and I had planned to make pork dumplings. So I got to the local market and realized that there wasn't any ground pork on display. I had a slight heart attack.. My brain literally went through some other scenarios. Maybe I should walk the 40 minutes downtown to the bigger market to get the ground pork? In the end I decided to fumble my way through Portuguese. There was ground beef available, so I pointed at the ground beef, then said "porc" (thats how you say pork in Portuguese so not that different haha) and pointed at some cut up pork, then said "moída" which means "ground" which I got from the ground beef sign. He understood me! Then he proceeded to say "how much" ...in English. Well... at least he understood me and I got my ground pork successfully!
