十月十四日(jyugatsu jyuyokka): October 14

In today's news they say a supermaket in Tokyo had special discount sales for the vegetables which had bad shapes. Usually they are not sold because Japanese people like the good shaped products.
This summer the climate was abnormal. It has been too hot for vegetables to be cropped, and the prices of them went up extremely. So they had sales of those so-called wakeari shohin (訳あり商品), something that has reasons.
Since vegetables themselves are still expensive, vegetable juice are sold well this summer.
Besides this they introduced the new technology which you can grow vegetables indoors without being affected by the bad weather. The progress of light technology made the cultivation indoors possible and now this technology has been exported.
I felt "Necessity is the mother of invention. "
