Lychee feí zi xiao or the concubine smiles

i love the fresh lychee imported from China i cant resist the sweet juicy flesh and small seed of fei zi xiao with jade green and red skin.i remembered when in the late 1980s when i visited Guangdong village of xiyap yunpeng county,my relatives bought lo mai chee or glutinous rice lychee that had deep red skin,juicy flesh and small seed. now with cold storage logistics supply chain,i get to feast on juicy lychees in summer no wonder the chinese emperor pampered his concubine yang gui fei so that he ordered couriers to send her favourite lychee up north to Beijing for her to savour her craving.thats why its name is fei zi xiao.noe with train and canal links established between southeastasia and south china the chinese can enjoy durians while we feast on lychees n mandarin oranges.
