Interpretation of classical Chinese

I once visited the gardens of wealthy families in Beijing and saw their collections. No matter how far away, there are no exotic flowers and rocks that cannot be obtained, only bamboo that cannot be obtained. We Jiangnan people chop bamboo for firewood. In the gardens of the rich in Beijing, they will definitely buy exotic flowers and stones from overseas. Some people spend thousands of dollars to buy a stone and hundreds of dollars to buy a flower without hesitation. However, some bamboos are planted in gardens, and some are cut down when they wither. Those people in Beijing said, "Don't let these dead bamboos occupy the place where I planted flowers and put strange stones." (Mom, I guess it's a common word, I don't know whether it's true or not) But Beijingers can make bamboo at will, so they don't hesitate to spend thousands of dollars. However, just met with frost and snow and died. Because of this, bamboo, which is hard to get in Beijing, often dies, so the more they think bamboo is valuable. Therefore, some Jiangnan people especially make fun of Beijingers, saying that "Beijingers actually regard our firewood as a treasure."
