The reporter of "Hong Kong 01" went to Tsuen Wan Market and Yeung Uk Road Market today and found that some shops had no stock of choy sum. Although some stores still had choy sum, the price of a pound of choy sum was mostly maintained at 30 yuan or more.
Some neighbors saw the price of vegetables soaring, and they couldn't help but feel an uproar.
The price of cabbage in one of the shops in Yangwudao Market soared to 40 yuan a pound, and 22 yuan a half catty.
But even if the price of cabbage is so high, it does not prevent some citizens from buying cabbage in this store.
Mr. Ho, a vegetable vendor at Yangwudao Market, said that today's cabbage volume is not even one-third.
He also pointed out that the price of cabbage has increased the most, at least doubled.
Mr. Ho pointed out that many market shops were unable to supply products because of the confirmed cases of mainland cross-border drivers.
The store itself has no goods, and the rent of the store is expensive, so "bake it and add money".
