A shop selling rice by the catty. A similar shop with barrels of rice was discussed in the current newsletter: https://gwulo.com/node/53051

Such nostalgic memories - running my hands through the cool rice in these barrels and also seeing the tiny black weevils clambering back down into the depths!

These barrels looked a lot fuller than what they really were. There was a partition in each barrel and only the part above the partition contained rice.
