不只是大小商贩需要现金进货，各户人家不能光靠没有定数的粮食收成及公有分配体系过日子，他们也需要一些现金。

It is not just traders, petty or great, who need cash for inventories. Households riding out the vagaries of harvests and the public-distribution system need plenty too.

各户刃甲的住宅则都涂上了鲜艳的颜色，前方大多都有一道厚重的木门，通往安达卢西亚风格的庭院。

Homes are painted pastel colors and most have heavy wooden gates opening onto an Andalusian styled courtyard.
