Other village ladies chimed in; Lady B added, "Yes, indeed, previously every household in our village had lychee trees, but we only grew them for our own consumption. We never imagined that lychees could fetch such a high price."
"That's because we didn't know where to sell, you see. Nan Feng and his brother are worldly men, they know how to find ways. Like ten years ago when they started the Lychee Garden, didn't we all laugh at them? We wondered how they could possibly consume so many lychees, and if they couldn't sell them, wouldn't they just rot on the trees? They would have wasted so much energy taking care of them. Yet, look at these past few years; you all have been selling lychees so well that you can make a fortune in just one year," she continued.
Nan Feng chuckled, "It's hardly making a fortune, just enough to cover expenses."
Lady D then asked Nan Feng, "Do you think if we also plant a lot of lychee trees, you could help us sell them all too?"
