Many people said that when they saw duckweed for sale at such an expensive price, they felt quite surprised. “My house in the countryside is full, if I sell it at this price, I will definitely become a billionaire,” one person said.

Another member named Nguyen Hoan commented: “Money as much as leaves is real. In the countryside, you can’t go away but bring it online for a really high price. Now, even in the countryside, pigs don’t eat”.
