- No doubt the rarer a thing the higher its value. When Peking cabbage is shipped to Zhejiang, it is hung upside-down in the greengrocer’s by a red string tied to its root, and given the grand title “Shangdong Vegetable.” When the aloe which grows wild in Fujian comes to Peking, it is ushered into a hothouse and given the beautiful name “Dragon-Tongue Orchid.”
