But despite the good weather, we still saw the extraordinary spectacle of rocketing prices for garlic. Garlic leapt from NT $ 80 per Taiwanese pound (600g) to over NT $ 200, and in dumpling parlors one no longer saw garlic provided on tables for patrons to take at will.
不過風調雨順中，還是不可思議地演出蒜價狂飆記，大蒜從一台斤八十元衝到二百多元，餃子館裡再也見不到放在桌面上、任憑客人自取的蒜頭。
