He said, " You will see if people like these tomatoes. ” At his insistence, his daughter packed and sent boxes of fresh tomatoes to friends and relatives. Soon, Mr. Wang began to receive phone calls about the tomatoes. People were actually very pleased with the gifts. They enjoyed eating the delicious tomatoes out of season.
