Chapter 24 Selling Lychee Meat

Bai Xuanyuan originally wanted to refuse, but when he saw that Cen Li was being fed to his mouth, he opened his mouth accidentally.

The juice is rich and sweet, and it is sweet from the mouth to the bottom of the heart.

"Is it delicious?" Cen Li tilted her head and asked with a smile.

"Yeah, it's delicious." Bai Xuanyuan nodded sheepishly.

Growing up in Lychee Township, I have long been tired of eating this food, but now it seems that I feel its real deliciousness for the first time.

"Hey, Xiaoli, you are also peeling lychees."

While peeling it, the two of them would eat one from time to time. While they were peeling it, the Zhang family couple from next door happened to come back. When they saw it, they came up to say hello with a smile.

The two old men are both in their sixties, but their bodies are still strong. They particularly like Cen Li.

"Grandpa Zhang, Grandma Li, hello." Cen Li greeted politely, showing a sweet smile, "I saw everyone was picking up lychees, so I picked up some too."

"What a good boy. Grandma happens to be fine, so I'll help you peel some." Looking at Cen Li's bright smile, Grandma Li felt strange and moved a small bench to sit over.

Cen Li wanted to refuse, but Grandma Li was too enthusiastic, so she had no choice but to agree.

So, there were three people peeling the lychees.

"Whose family does this young man belong to? He is so handsome." Grandma Li asked with a smile when she saw Bai Xuanyuan.

"I am the newly adopted son of Bai Wenhao's family." Bai Xuanyuan did not hide it, but told the truth.

After all, he was adopted at such an old age, so he knows everything, and there is no need to hide it.

"Oh, it's the child of Lao Bai's family. I heard it from my Xiaojie yesterday, but I haven't seen anyone yet. Now I finally saw him." Grandma Li patted her thigh and hit Bai Xuanyuan and praised, "

Well, yes, it's good. Lao Bai has found a treasure."

Bai Xuanyuan was someone who had been praised since childhood, so he was not embarrassed and just gave him a polite smile.

It seems that only when facing Cen Li, Bai Xuanyuan has the rich expressions of a child, while when facing Grandma Li, he shows some adult-like poise.

A bag of lychees weighed nearly sixty pounds. It took the three of us to help each other and it took more than an hour to peel them all.

After checking that there was still time, Cen Li borrowed Grandma Li's three-wheeled bicycle and went with Bai Xuanyuan to deliver the lychees.

Bai Xuanyuan had never ridden a tricycle, so he had to hold on to the bucket of lychee meat to prevent it from falling over while Cen Li rode the bicycle.

The tricycle at this time was unilateral, consisting of a bicycle plus a cargo body.

There is a bar in the middle of the bicycle. Cenli is not tall enough, so she can only put her feet under the bar and ride while standing up crookedly.

Needless to say, I haven’t ridden like this in many years, and it’s quite fun.

Fortunately, she is strong now, otherwise she probably wouldn't be able to ride it with a weight of almost a hundred kilograms.

Bai Xuanyuan was frightened when he saw it. He felt that for such a thin and small girl, Cen Li was afraid that she would suddenly be unable to hold on and faint from exhaustion.

Therefore, while Cen Li was riding happily along the way, Bai Xuanyuan, the one being carried, was so nervous that he broke into a sweat.

Fortunately, the place where lychees were harvested was not far away. It took almost five minutes to ride a tricycle to get there. Bai Xuanyuan breathed a deep sigh of relief.

After removing the shells and cores of more than 60 kilograms of lychees, only two-thirds are left.

They weighed them and found that they were over forty-five pounds. The other party saw that they were children, so they counted them as forty-six pounds.

A pound of lychee meat costs 60 cents, so the total is 27 yuan and 60 cents.
