firewood-sellers

Updated: May 24, 2025

The firewood-sellers will mostly be men, as will also the large rice-merchants, but nearly all the rest are women. You will find the sellers of spices, fruit, vegetables, and other such matters seated in long rows, on mats placed upon the ground. Each will have a square of space allotted, perhaps six feet square, and there she will sit with her merchandise in a basket or baskets before her.
