In this chapter, we learn that there are no goods for sale at the market. The only thing that is for sale is "khao pong" , which means "food" in Thai, and "raw goods" . There are also "clay pots" and "desserts" for sale, but the only thing for which there is a market is "khoo pong" or "food". The narrator tells us that there is not much to sell besides " khao pong " . The narrator explains that he can find people who will help him pass through the gates of the city. He says that he just happens to be free. He tells the woman caught that the pork is "dry aged" like jerky , and that they are used for farming. He explains that the price of the pork depends on the weight of the gold bars that are bought in weight. The gold bars are worth ten baht, and the silver bars ten baht. Four baht is one baht. This is the same price as one salleng, which is the amount of food that is consumed in one day. The master explains that two pai is the equivalent of eating two days worth of food. The goods that the city sells to other cities are known for and exported to other countries. What about the export goods? The narrator points out that the peasants can use magic to sell their goods to the treasury, who then sells those goods to foreign countries. The peasants can also use the crystals that are found in the treasury to make money. They only pay one baht for each piece of the crystals. They sell the crystals to the peasants, who use them to make a profit
