A day at the wholesale cloth market
Thousands of bolts, hundreds of shops and a language of prices you learn by listening.
The cloth market opens before the shops in the rest of the city, and closes long after.
Buyers come from small towns to fill sacks for their own shops. Prices are spoken quickly, in codes that outsiders do not catch.
Tea boys run between shops all day. A good one knows every shopkeeper's order without asking.
