Hajin opened the field-supply page beside the eastern excavation roster as three hundred workers gathered below the frosted scaffolds.
At the pavilion, cooks carried counted grain toward their pots while Vella opened her satchel beside the clear treatment bench. Beyond the trench, Ferra checked foundation marks with the foremen as Hajin confirmed the price and set its receipt down.
[ Wallet before | 105,485 credits ]
[ Field-supply purchase | 1,000 credits ]
[ Wallet after | 104,485 credits ]
[ Lot | 20 food packs at 25 | 10 dressings at 20 | 10 wash and comfort kits at 30 ]
The quartermaster checked all forty issued units against the receipt before cracking open the first food crate.
"Two packs go up to the high stonecutters, the other eighteen hit the breakfast pots," Hajin announced, slapping the tally beside the cooks' ration list.
"Twenty packs won't turn into three hundred meals, no matter how hard anybody squints at the ledger."
