Should autumn vegetables in Northeast China be put in the refrigerator?

Autumn vegetables in the northeast don't need to be put in the refrigerator. Who has such a big refrigerator to put so many vegetables?

I am from the northeast, and it is a custom in the northeast to store autumn vegetables. At that time, the traffic was not as developed as it is now, and fresh vegetables could not be transported from the south to the north, so it was difficult to eat vegetables in the north in winter, because the earth was frozen. Not conducive to the growth of vegetables.

When people harvest a lot of vegetables in autumn, they put some vegetables in a place that is not easy to rot.

For example, if you live in a bungalow, every family will have a food cellar. You will buy a lot of vegetables that are easy to preserve, such as potatoes, radishes and Chinese cabbage, which will last almost a winter, and then put them in the vegetable cellar. When you need to eat, you will go to the vegetable cellar to get some.

But now the living standard has improved, every family has a refrigerator and the traffic is very developed. The price of vegetables from the south to the north is not much higher, so there is no need to store autumn vegetables. Go directly to the supermarket to buy some vegetables you want, without storing them in large quantities.
