He doesn't know what is in the other parts of the ground floor, but he had some guesses when he saw workers carry large carcasses from some counters to the area beyond the counter.
Some counters were small, and some were large. The small ones were only able to accoeone person while the large counters were able to accommodate more than one person.
After observing for a while, he could tell their functions by looking at what the people lining up at the two types of counters were doing.
The people lining up in front of the large counters were with one or more carcasses. These carcasses were the same ones that brought in earlier.
The people at the front of the line would place their carcass on the counter table where it is examined. Then the hunters would be paid, and they would leave.
