Grain they use only to make bread. They drink wine made of grapes, apple or pear cider, or simple water, which they sometimes mix with honey or licorice, of which they have plenty. Although they know very well, down to the last detail, how much food each city and its surrounding district will consume, they produce much more grain and cattle than they need for themselves, and share the surplus with their neighbors. Whatever foods the folk town magistrates, and since there is nothing to be paid or exchanged, they get what they want at once without any haggling. They generally go to town once a month in any case, to observe the holy days. When harvest time approaches, the head of a tribe in the country notify the town magistrates how many hands will be needed. Crews of harvesters come just when they're wanted, and in about one day of good weather they can get in the whole crop.
