Today I got up in the morning and it was freezing outside of the hut/house it was freezing, snowing everywhere. I was so cold I changed into my thick jacket, pants, my shoes, and scarf and then I headed towards the kitchen. As I entered the room a very good scent of honey and tea filled the room. Master had made "his cold day tea" as his wife and daughter had called it. as soon as the tea was done he poured everyone a cup of it. as soon as I took my first sip of mine it instantly warmed up my whole chest and the more of it I had the more warmth flowed through my whole body. The market that Master and his family wasn't too far away from tho house so we all dressed in the warmest cloth we had. we walked there as a group and discussed who was going to be working where (it is a family business) we got there at about 10 O' clock and got everything ready for the coming customers who I was told come around 11' O clock so we set the red meats all at one place sitting on top of the snow (natures freezer). we set the grain items all in their ow section that was cleared from snow, then we put the liquid items at their own place so they will not freeze in the freezing weather... We were putting the last couple things down when the first customer got a ceranrap strip and covered the piece of meat that he wanted. Master weighed the meat and that is how we knew how much money it was. For the next couple hours the weather cleared up and about a dozen or so customers came and got the things they needed payed and left. by then it was 5' O'clock and we just cleaned up all of the things that had not been sold, and some of it is what we bought for our dinner, we headed back to the house as you can call it but it was more like an apartment made of mud, clay, and straw... Anyways when we got to the house it was about 5:30 and we all headed to the kitchen to prepare dinner, i mostly just cut up some carrots and other vegetables because I did't know how to cook the roasted duck, when the duck was ready and the vegetables were steamed Master asked me to do the honor of making the first cut into the duck. Obviously I wasn't going to be rude but i did not know how to cut a duck so I just tried my best and cut the wing off. We then all ate dinner in silence. When we all finished dinner we put the plates and everything in a pile. then we all headed to bed.
