Liu Xiaomei's family was also making spicy cabbage.
She had also listened to Juhua and planted a lot of extra napa cabbage.
The Liu family had little land, so Fatty Liu naturally used it all for wheat. There was no spare field for napa cabbage. They had, however, set aside a plot in their vegetable garden for it. In any case, few vegetables grew in winter, leaving some usable empty patches.
Liu Sanshun, however, had taken notice.
He was an enterprising person. 'Juhua's family sold some spicy cabbage last year,' he thought, 'and it might sell even better this year. It can't be wrong to listen to her and plant extra. Even if it doesn't sell, our family still needs vegetables to eat.'
So, with no land available, he persuaded his second brother to join him in tilling a paddy field. They dug deep furrows between the ridges and started planting napa cabbage.
