"Who's to say it's not disappointing? We thought the market opening up would make life a bit better for the common people. Indeed, we made a decent profit from growing vegetables in the first half of the year. However, too many people planted in the second half, so now all vegetables are worthless. Even these fine beans are only two cents a pound, and it's not even certain that we can sell them when they get to our hands. The storage unit next door still has half of yesterday's vegetables left."
Li Jian looked helpless.
Their vegetable station needs to make profits too. Now that vegetable prices are low, even if they sell the collected veggies for double the price, they won't make much money.
Not to mention that the farmers have too many vegetables, and they're being sold in heaps at the night market, greatly reducing the vegetable station's sales.
