As the New Year was drawing ever closer, Zhuangzi sent over a large batch of freshly harvested vegetables, presented in exquisitely woven bamboo baskets and intricately carved wooden frames, according to Su Wenyue's instructions. They looked quite high-end.
Su Hengyi had initially wanted to clear out a store specifically for Su Wenyue to sell these vegetables. However, since they had started preparing later this year, and even though several large greenhouses had been planted in batches, the quantity that could be harvested was not too large. There was more than enough to give away as New Year's gifts from home, but not enough to sell. Besides, Su Wenyue was not in the mood for it at the moment. Therefore, the vegetables grown in Su Wenyue's greenhouses became priceless commodities—unavailable for purchase even if wealthy families were willing to pay a high price, which made them appear even more precious.
