As in previous years, after a summer typhoon season in which fresh vegetables commanded prices of NT $ 100 per Taiwanese catty (600 grams), with the arrival of winter one hears reports from throughout Taiwan of vegetables such as head cabbage or garland chrysanthemum selling for NT $ 1 or NT $ 5 a catty.
如同往年，夏季颱風季節可以叫價一斤百元的青菜，入冬後，各地又傳出甘藍菜、茼蒿、高麗菜……，一斤一塊、五塊的消息。
