Are there few lotus roots in Shanghai?

Take lotus root as an example. With the passing of "beginning of autumn" in the 24 solar terms, lotus roots in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shanghai, Anhui and other places have recently been listed in large quantities. This year is a "bumper harvest year" for lotus roots, with a certain increase in output. Now the lotus roots on the market are produced in Qingpu, Shanghai, Jiaxing, Zhejiang, Xuzhou, Jiangsu and Chuzhou, Anhui. Depending on the quality, the price fluctuates greatly. The wholesale price of Youlian lotus root is 4.0-4.5 yuan/kg, which is basically the same as last year. Lotus root listed at this stage is a new lotus root, which is characterized by tenderness, crispness and delicious taste. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the lotus root is fully mature, and its flour is waxy and sweet, with a unique flavor.

Shanghai is a city with four unclear seasons. I didn't know that autumn really came until I saw the lotus root on the dining table recently. As the saying goes, "Lotus is a treasure, and autumn lotus is the most helpful." Then the lotus root must not be missing from the menu posted in autumn.
