Mauricio looked like he was in part of the milling process of unhusked rice because dust and soot were all over his clothes and hair. It looked like he was just about to clean up when we arrived at his main shop. However, I surmised that the milling process occurred in another shop because Mona had none of it on her person.
"If you would follow me, I'll guide you to our trading shop just right next to our shop here..." Mona made a small bow before waiting for us to follow her.
"I'll call you over when we are about to start or I'll just join you there if the others are gonna be running a bit late. I'll just clean myself for a bit and take care of some things." Mauricio excused himself as he slowly closed his office door.
"Do you have a catalog for everything here?" I asked.
"Oh, yes sir. It's not as detailed but I made sure everything was written in." Mona replied as she handed me a clipboard.
