Chapter 67: The Wei Family Knows Calculations
Wei Tian had used that money to open a small convenience store, and life in the Wei family improved day by day. On the other hand, the honest and simple Tang Zhinian was all alone, without any siblings, children, or grandchildren, laboring day and night on his few acres of land.
In that year, for some reason, coriander became very popular. Ultimately, it was sold for one and a half yuan per pound; even so, there were no unsold vegetables left. In the entire village, only Tang Zhinian planted a few pieces of land with coriander. The coriander that year was of very good quality. Everyone thought that it would be a cold year with snowfall, but oddly enough, it was a warm winter, and no snow fell at all. Unlike in later years, where off-season vegetables were everywhere and transportation was developed, vegetables from the south could be eaten in the north, and vegetables from the north could easily be transported to the south. Sometimes it only took a day or two to do so.
