[Epoch Times October 26, 2021] (The Epoch Times reporter Luo Ya and Gao Miao interviewed and reported) "Spinach is 7 yuan per catty, eggplant is 9 yuan per catty, and leek yellow (sprouts) is a dozen yuan per catty, like green beans. This kind of expensive dish will never even look at them.” “In the past, you can eat vegetables as you like, but now you have to eat with calculations”, said Ms. Li, a Shanghai citizen. Since October, the price of vegetables in China has risen fiercely, and prices have generally doubled. Ms. Li told the Epoch Times reporter on the 25th that the price of vegetables began to rise before the eleventh, and after the eleventh, the price rose faster, and has been rising, and has not fallen. "The kale that used to be more than 1 yuan has now risen to 3 yuan. Many vegetables (prices) have doubled." Ms. Wang, who is in Beijing, also told the Epoch Times reporter, "Tofu cost 2 yuan last year, 4 yuan this year; bean sprouts 1.5 yuan last year, 3, 4 this year Chinese cabbage costs 1 yuan a catty at this time in previous years, and about 3 yuan this year.” Even, “Melon seeds have doubled, 8 yuan last year, 16 yuan this year,” she said, except for food prices and wages that have not doubled. The prices of the things that are grown, including dried fruits, have doubled. She also said that if even tofu is doubled, the prices of other things are doubled. Because the vegetables are all from the south, there is none in the north (this season) She said that the salary is too low and she has two children, so according to her family's standards, she can only choose cheap dishes such as cabbage, potatoes, radishes, and bean sprouts.
