Dominic nodded at the guard, while others began shouting orders, and the residents of Albroles began to push forward with pillow cases in their hands and paper tokens outstretched.
The guards took the pillowcases and dumped a bucket full of potatoes in it, roughly five kilos per token.
"Larger families get multiple tokens, but they'll send more than one person to collect it, as we don't let them turn in multiples, to prevent obvious abuse. The exception to the rule is the healer's Guild.
They can bring us a whole stack of tokens for their patients who can't make it here, or shouldn't for the sake of preventing infection.
But the patients have to either come get next week's token, or be counted by the guards to be sure they're still alive," the assistant Castellan explained before waving the rest of the trucks into the Palace's long driveway.
