The Burgeoning Cupboard

 (11) 


This building lies on the sunny side of the block, near the turn where Magpie Lane juts back toward the northeast.  A small herb garden is planted on each side of this simple wooden structure.  A pair of swinging doors flaps open and closed periodically, as customers buying foodstuffs enter and leave.

 

You walk through the swinging door to find yourself amongst several rows of shelves.  Each row of shelves is populated by particular types of items.  Bread of many types, made at local bakeries, lie along the wooden planks.  A number of bins of spices occupy another shelf, at the end of which is the counter that Bendigan Grini, the halfling grocer that owns the establishment, waits at during the day.  Adjacent to that counter are several racks from which hang many cuts of pork, lamb, beef, and game meat.

 

You stroll back up another row of shelves, upon which rest wrapped strips of jerky, opposite the rows of bland rations adventurers use.  The east alcove of the business is decorated with garlands and dried flowers, beneath which are several elevated troughs bearing locally grow fruits and vegetables.  Nearby, jars of preserves, nuts, and pickled vegetables occupy yet another shelf.  On the opposite side of the room from this, as you complete your self guided tour, you notice wheels and wedges of several kinds of cheese, all created at local dairies.  Eggs and milk are stored inn deep bins of cool water nearby.

 

Near the exits, a small display of iron pots, pans, plates and silverware is arranged.
