In the middle of the square sat a large wooden tub, usually reserved for butchering and shaving pigs, now brimming with fish. The brigade leader was directing the weighing process.
Half an hour later, all the fish had been weighed. The villagers surged forward, crowding around the tub to form a line.
The brigade leader raised his megaphone and shouted, "Folks, don't crowd! Every family will get their share. We're distributing the fish by head count—one jin per person. It’s not first-come, first-served, so please, stop pushing!"
