Hi.
Could you correct my English?

"Roten"

Last night I went to a summer festival in a shrine. There were many roten and yatai, which are small mobile shops.
Yatai generally means a small mobile shop including roten. However, when we say yatai, we think of shops selling food, and when we say roten, we think of shops of toys, willow baskets, goldfish scooping or ring toss. The picture is a roten of shooting game.
In many cases, according to rumor, yatai and roten are affiliated by some gangs. The people selling things at yatai are rated, and the higher people in the rate are supposed to cook food which is complex to make like “okonomiyaki” and “yakisoba”. The lower people are supposed to cook simple food like baked corns. (You know, baked corns only need to be baked.) The highest people aren’t supposed to sell anything, and are supposed to patrol and prevent fittings. (Nobody would start fighting knowing the scary people are walking around.)
That's only a rumor.

Thank you.
