Two thousand years later, the price of fruits such as lychees, mangoes, and longans dropped to two or three yuan per kilogram at times, but growing fruit can still be profitable.
The warm climate and long hours of sunshine in the south make it ideal for growing fruit.
In later generations, the Guangdong and Guangxi provinces, the southern islands, and the southern Fujian region had the most abundant fruit production. The tropical fruit production in China was basically monopolized by three or four coastal provinces in the south.
At that time, there wasn't much fruit cultivation in China, so contracting mountain areas to grow fruit would yield incredibly high profits.

Chickens and ducks can be sold after they grow up, providing additional income.
After listening to their analysis, even Zhang Hong was tempted: "You all make such a good point, should we plant a few in our backyard?"
Behind the Ji family's courtyard is a private plot of land of more than one acre, nestled against the hillside, where the Ji family grows a lot of vegetables.
In fact, the vegetables grown on the small plot of land, which is more than an acre in size, are only enough for a few people to eat. They can't possibly finish them all, so most of the vegetables are chopped up and fed to the chickens.
Ji Xia thought for a moment and said, "Chen Jing and I are planning to go to Huacheng for a few days. How about we keep an eye out for the fruit tree market and pick out a dozen or so fruit saplings?"
