This is super cool. I found the price of beef surprisingly low given the “minimum wage” of 25 per day, meaning a common laborer could’ve afforded two modern pounds of beef with some money left over. Of course people probably had many dependents per laborer and these were fixed prices so who knows what kind of shortages there were… In theory though, a min wage laborer with no dependents could have very comfortably had 1lb of beef per day if they wanted.
