Cabbages and radishes are essential winter vegetables for peasant families, and everyone would grow some to last through the winter. Although they don't grow as much as professional vegetable farmers, combining what each family grows—a few heads of cabbage here and there—adds up to quite an amount.
Many people expressed that they were willing to contribute a few cabbages for the winter.
"One head is not too little, ten is not too many!"
This interaction made the atmosphere even more lively.
Pei Qin saw that the people were neither resistant nor overthinking it and said that this year's preparations involved more ingredients than needed; since there wouldn't be spicy pickled cabbage to make, extras like the hard-to-buy chili peppers and apples would be distributed to everyone.
