At the salt arcade of the Lower Market Hall, Yara Deth keeps the review week file beside a dry white line left on the stone shelf after a barrel is decanted. The two details are easy to miss in a summary: one is a line in a ledger, the other is the condition that decides whether the line is useful.
Yara Deth is the keeper of the salt arcade cooperative. On this grain fall visit, the work begins with the warehouse issue slips and the stall’s daily brine-loss tally; only after the entry is checked can the crew say what the rule asks of the people below.
15 barrels opened for sale were entered this cycle, compared with 16 in the prior file. The figure is one part of a longer handoff. Nima Thol checked the warehouse issue slips and the stall’s daily brine-loss tally against the field notes. The method is to put the posted price beside the amount that actually changed hands; it confirms the entries, but not every interpretation attached to them.
The cooperative counts salt lost to damp air; buyers question whether the warehouse count already includes that loss. The current record does not settle that disagreement. Residents closest to the work describe the difference as a route, a wait or a shift that cannot be moved on a slate. Their accounts have been attached to the docket rather than folded into the total.
Residents and workers have had their first chance to question the measure in public. The entry belongs to the review week file at the salt arcade of the Lower Market Hall. The next price board will list the delivered weight before and after storage. The next visit will show whether the revision travels beyond the office that wrote it.
