The first in line was a middle-aged man who looked quite affluent. He casually handed over a piece of silver.
The person collecting payments immediately took the silver and asked, "Which market are you from, and what is your name?"
The man replied, "Fengle Square, Jia Wansheng."
The accountant selected a ledger from several, flipped through it, and promptly found the page for Fengle Square, also locating Jia Wansheng's name. He marked a note behind the name, and someone handed Jia Wansheng a bowl of medicine. He gulped it down, wiped his mouth, and turned back to Changle Square.
Following him, the second person stepped forward, handed over the silver and said, "Liu Ying Village outside the city, Ding the Fourth."
The cashier picked up another ledger, turned to the Liu Ying Village page to record it. Then someone collected the silver and gave that person a bowl of medicine to drink.
Seeing this scenario, Shang Ruyi understood.
