After being exiled to Lingnan, Prime Minister Quan's family collapsed and his people were set u

One pound costs ten taels. Good guy, she really can't afford it, and she can't afford the price even if she sells her. After all, her family is too poor to raise the pot.

Others also heard their conversation, with expressions of dismay on their faces. They had asked this question before, were lychees really expensive?

Although they have some connections with each family, and the manager can be considered to take care of them, buying lychees still requires a lot of money, and there is no need to discuss.

Seeing the expression on Zhou Shitang's face, Guan Cunxin didn't let go, "The lychees here have to be sent to other prefectures for sale as quickly as possible. The cheapest ones cost only ten taels, and the more expensive ones cost hundreds of taels."

Lychees are delicious and everyone likes them. The people they sell lychees are not ordinary people, but wealthy families, all of whom are extremely wealthy.

Lychees can basically only survive in Lingnan, and cannot survive in other places. Things are rare, so are lychees expensive?

He heard that His Majesty the Emperor also likes to eat lychees. Some places offer lychees as tribute every year. Lychees are tributes, so of course they are expensive.

When Zhou Shitang heard that it would be sold for several hundred taels of silver, she could no longer open her eyes. It was poverty that limited her imagination.

Zhou Shitang quickly returned to his parents.

Zhou Yancheng asked: "Sir, when can we leave here in the afternoon?"

Guan Cunxin said calmly: "You can go back when the sun is about to go down. Come here at this time tomorrow. I will arrange other tasks for you until the lychees are picked."

Just won't let them sit idle.

He once again told them not to eat secretly, then gave a few words to his men and left.

These are not the only families here who come to pick lychees. When the lychees are ripe, they should be picked as soon as possible and sent to other places for sale. Therefore, other villagers will come to help pick lychees. They are all paid for picking lychees. You get ten cents for picking a day.

They were all villagers living nearby and did not live in the same place as the prisoners.

When the exiles come to pick lychees, they don't get any wages. They are all free labor. It would be good to give them a little food every month.

Each family went to pick lychees as a family unit, and the Zhou family randomly selected a lychee tree.

Some lychees can be picked with just a hand, but most lychees have to be climbed up a tree.

Zhou Yancheng had never climbed a tree in his life. He looked down at his arms and legs, and finally said: "We men climb trees to pick lychees, and you women pick at the bottom."

The picked lychees will have a lot of leaves and twigs, and the leaves and twigs take up too much space. They need to remove the leaves and twigs, and then put the lychees into bags larger than a person.

Zhou Shitang didn't want to doubt his tall and mighty father, but she couldn't help but asked, "Dad, can you really climb a tree?"

Is it true that her once elegant and noble father would not fall when he climbed a tree?She was very suspicious. After all, her father couldn't even tie a strong knot, and he also fell into a huge trap and couldn't climb out.

Zhou Yancheng looked serious and nodded, "Yes, I can."

He strode closer to the lychee tree.

Mrs. Zhou stood next to Zhou Shitang, her eyelids suddenly twitched, and she had an unknown premonition.

Zhou Yancheng stepped on the lychee tree with one foot, grabbed the thicker branch with both hands, and climbed up with both hands and feet!

Zhou Shitang stared at his father without blinking, feeling a little nervous for no reason.

Zhou Yancheng was afraid of falling, so he carefully grabbed the branch and moved slowly. He raised his head to observe where there were more lychees and were easier to pick. He also had to find a suitable position to avoid falling.

He saw a more suitable position on the left, and continued to move there carefully, not daring to be careless. He arched his body, stretched out his feet, and stepped on another branch.

The branch fell straight down and could not bear his weight.Zhou Yancheng was just testing it and hadn't fully moved his weight to that foot. He was startled and his heart beat like a drum. He quickly took his foot back and stepped on another thick branch.

Zhou Shimu was watching his father's movements from below, and was a little afraid that he would fall. Seeing that his father almost stepped on the air, his heart instantly became nervous.

Under the watchful eyes of the whole family, Zhou Yancheng finally came to a suitable place. He grabbed a tree branch with one hand to steady his body and picked lychees with the other.

Pick off the branches and leaves.

Zhou Yancheng felt inexplicably proud. This was his first time picking lychees, and it felt quite fresh. It was much more interesting than bickering with Su Bo'an.

Zhou Shitang praised, "Dad, you are great! Keep up the good work!"

Zhou Yancheng smiled and threw the lychee into an open space below.

"boom--"

The lychee hit the ground.

A few lychees scattered and rolled to the side.

A villager in the tree next door felt very distressed when he saw the situation on the Zhou family's side, "Hey, you guys should put some leaves under it! Just smash it down and the lychees will be damaged by you! Are you stupid?"

Zhou family: "???"

Zhou Yancheng looked over following the sound and saw a flexible man on the tree next door. He easily stepped to another place without fear of falling.

A stark contrast to him.

After picking the lychees in one place, the man quickly moved to another place, glanced at Zhou Yancheng again, and then met Zhou Yancheng's eyes, "Look at your heavy body. It's your first time to climb a tree." Bar?"

Zhou Yancheng hummed.

The man smiled and said: "Don't be afraid, just fall a few more times and it will be fine."

Zhou Yancheng: "..."

Shi Qingxiao saw a lot of leaves nearby, picked up those leaves and spread them on the ground, "You can throw the lychees here."

Seeing that his father had stabilized his body, Zhou Shimu climbed up carefully, followed closely by Zhou Shiye.

It is not easy for too many people to climb a tree, so Zhou Yanshao and Zhou Mingyi went to another tree, and Mrs. Li pulled Zhou Rushan to follow.

Mrs. Zhou did not go with her. She had only spent a short time with her youngest son and his family. She finally had the opportunity to stay together. Of course she would not let it go. Anyway, it was work no matter where she worked, there was no difference.

Seeing that Mrs. Zhou didn't follow Mrs. Li, she felt a little sad. The old lady was just partial. As long as Zhou Yancheng was around, she would never see her husband Zhou Yanshao!

It's so unfair. Is it because her husband is not as good at reading as Zhou Yancheng?
She asked Zhou Yanshao secretly in private. She knew that Zhou Yanshao had never attended a private school when he was a child, and the old lady taught him how to read.

But Zhou Yancheng went to private school, so Mrs. Zhou sent someone there.

Her husband said that when he was a child, his family was poor and he could not study, so he could only send one person there, and that person was Zhou Yancheng, who was better at studying.

What nonsense is this!
Even if you want to send it away, you should send it to your eldest son Zhou Yanshao. What's the point of sending Zhou Yancheng's second son?
