When He Huairong returned home, he picked a lychee and opened the lychee shell, revealing the white and tender flesh inside, which looked full of juice. He took it in one gulp and bit open the flesh with his teeth, filling his mouth with juice.

It's sweet and tastes very refreshing and delicious.

He Huairong felt so refreshed that he picked two more bunches, handing one bunch to Aunt Fang and one bunch to He Meili, "You guys have a try, this year's lychees are very good, but there are just a few."

Aunt Fang and He Meili took it and ate happily.

The lychees at home are delicious. You don’t have to spend money to buy them. You can eat as much as you want. What they look forward to most every year is now.

He Huairong touched his chin, "We will eat half of the tree ourselves, and sell the rest. The lychees from half the tree are enough for us to eat. We will take a few more kilograms and send them to the Zhou family, so that we can be happy with Brother Zhou and the others."

The people here are relatively poor, and few people spend a tael of silver to buy lychees, so their lychees are sold to other merchants. The merchants are responsible for sending them to other places for sale. Selling dozens or even hundreds of taels is equivalent to They have nothing to do with it. I only give them one tael of silver and one catty.

It's so cheap. They also wanted to sell it at a high price of ten taels of silver, but the merchants refused. The price of these two taels of silver was based on their familiarity with Guan Cunxin.

I heard that businessmen go to villages in the countryside to collect lychees to lower the price, which is more than ten cents per catty, or even several cents per catty.

Profiteer!Everyone is a profiteer!
If only they could leave this place, they could transport the lychees themselves to other places to sell.

If you sell it to him for a few hundred taels, wouldn't it be paid out?
He Huairong sighed, he could only see this beautiful dream in his dreams at night.

He Meili ate several lychees and said excitedly: "Dad, I will go to Zhou's house with you. I haven't been to their house yet. I heard that they live in a haunted house. I want to see what kind of house it is." "

"Master Guan said that the house will not be haunted. It is beautiful. Don't be afraid." Aunt Fang did not say a word that she was afraid, and instead comforted her daughter.

He Meili snorted: "I'm not afraid."

He Huairong smiled fondly and said, "I found that you had a lot of fun with the Zhou sisters."

He Meili nodded, "I like them. They know a lot of things. I am very interested in what they say. They say conch is delicious."

"Mom and dad, let's buy some conches for our family to eat next time." He Meili said coquettishly.

She didn't eat these things before. She had a little money at home, so of course she wanted to eat chicken, duck, and goose without fishy smell. Who wants to eat those smelly seafood?

If she hadn't heard the two Zhou sisters talk about the taste of conch, she wouldn't have known that conch was also a delicious food.

He Huairong frowned, "Those things are eaten by poor families. My daughter, our family is rich. You don't have to save money. We will be able to sell lychees soon. I estimate it is dozens of kilograms and dozens of taels of silver."

He Meili told her about the taste of conch that Zhou Shitang once described to her.

He Huairong loves to eat meat, otherwise he wouldn't have grown so fat. Hearing his daughter's description, he sipped his saliva and said, "Stop talking, buy it! The market will open in half a month, I'll buy it Come back with ten pounds!"

While the father and daughter were talking, Aunt Fang picked a few kilograms of lychees and turned around, shaking them in her hands. "Didn't you say you were going to Zhou's house? Let's go? It will get dark if you don't go."

He Meili shouted anxiously: "Let's go, let's go!"

He Huairong took the lychee from Aunt Fang's hand, "Just let me get it."

Aunt Fang smiled and glared at him.

He Huairong chuckled twice and took two steps. Then he remembered that he had forgotten something, turned around and ran back, "I said I wanted to have a drink with Brother Zhou. I happened to have some wine at home, so I took it with me. Brother Zhou drank together." A palm-sized porcelain bottle.

He Huairong picked it up carefully. This was a wine he had treasured for a long time, and he himself was reluctant to drink it.

But why did Brother Zhou have such a good relationship with him, so he reluctantly shared it with him.

The family went to Zhou's house with a smile.

When the family next door saw He Huairong holding bunches of lychees, their eyes became red. They didn’t have any lychees at home and couldn’t eat them even if they wanted to.

They tried planting them themselves, but they all died. They asked the He family and his wife how to plant lychee trees. They were very cautious, and even if they didn't tell them, there was nothing they could do.

Really envious and jealous.

They also had the courage to ask Mr. Guan, but Mr. Guan refused to tell them and only said that they had to figure it out themselves.

They have been struggling for several years, but not a single lychee tree has survived. It either died within two years, or not a single lychee could grow. They had lost their patience.

Too difficult to grow.

At this time, I saw their whole family going out together, and asked curiously: "Where are you going? Sister Fang, the sun is going down, and you are still going out."

Aunt Fang was happy and didn't mind saying a few more words, "Go and visit other people's houses."

The woman became even more curious, "Which one?"

Aunt Fang: "Zhou family."

The woman was suddenly shocked. She had found out half a month ago that the family living in the haunted house was named Zhou. Master Guan told them not to be afraid, but she couldn't control her thoughts.

She is just afraid of ghosts.

Other neighbors showed up, including men and children.

He Huairong looked around and shouted loudly: "Listen to me! Watch your children, take care of your hands and mouths. If I find a lychee missing when I come back, I will copy the iron rod Come and blow your brains out!"

He was fat and fierce-looking. When he spoke loudly with a straight face, his flesh trembled a few times, making him look very fierce and powerful.

The neighbors who stuck their heads out didn't dare to talk.

He Huairong continued to sneer, "I have counted how many lychees I have at home. If one is missing, I can find it, and there will be traces on the tree when you pick it. Don't think I can't find it. If you really want to eat it, just take ten Come and buy it for two taels of silver, and I will happily sell it to you so that you can eat enough."

When those neighbors heard the last sentence, they couldn't help but boldly said: "Brother He, can it be cheaper? We have been neighbors for so many years. Please show mercy and make it cheaper."

"Yes, Brother He, we are all neighbors. It's cheaper, or you can exchange it with other things. You can come to my house and see what I have for you. Can we just use the items?"

"The children in our family are pitiful. They can't even eat a lychee. Brother He, please have mercy on these children."

The two trees in front of He's house are covered with lychees. They come in and out every day, and those plump and bright red lychees keep dazzling in front of their eyes. They can't even look at them.
