在原产地增城有这么一个故事：据传清朝康熙年间，基岗村某一名村民在荔枝成熟时邀请在邻县任职的表哥品尝胭脂红荔枝，表哥从未见过这种色泽鲜红、香甜可口的荔枝。

为取悦上司，表哥采摘了一筐，赶到京城进奉上司。奇怪的是，尽管已过七日，荔枝色泽仍然鲜红，肉质仍鲜甜可口。上司尝后大悦，问起这种荔枝的名称。

表哥心想，荔枝用来进奉朝廷的，仙村镇又沾上何仙姑的仙气，何不就叫“进奉”？于是表哥答道：“这是产自增城的"进奉"荔枝。”上司大阅，当即赏了百两黄金给表哥。

一时间，进奉声名鹊起，有地方官吏纷纷仿效栽种，皆不得其味，一怒之下暗中烧毁胭脂园，幸得之前有村民于桂味树嫁接移植两棵进奉荔枝，因避祸不敢声张，自此世少有知情者，进奉便销声匿迹。

Xianjinfeng Lychees, formerly known as Carmine Red, is also known as Jinfeng. The place of origin is Zengcheng District, and it is later ripened than Nuomi Ci. The fruit is flat heart-shaped with raised shoulders, bright red skin, thick and tough skin, less cracking fruit, larger fruit, thick and waxy yellow flesh, honey aroma, and sweet taste.

There is such a story in Zengcheng, the place of origin: It is said that during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, a villager in Jigang Village invited his cousin who worked in a neighbouring county to taste Carmine Lychees when the Lychees were ripe. The cousin had never seen such bright red, sweet and delicious Lychees.

In order to please the superior, the cousin picked a basket and rushed to the capital for the superior as a gratitude Gift. Strangely, even after seven days, the Lychees are still bright red in colour and the flesh is still sweet and delicious. The superior was overjoyed after tasting it and asked the name of this kind of Lychee.

The cousin thought to himself, the Lychees were used to serve the imperial court, and the fairy villages and towns were imbued with He Xiangu's fairy spirit, so why not call it "Jinfeng"? So the cousin replied: "This is the "Jinfeng" Lychee produced in Zengcheng." The superior was delighted and immediately rewarded the cousin with a hundred taels of gold.

For a while, Jinfeng Lychees became famous, and some local officials followed suit and planted it one after another. None of it tastes good, and in a fit of rage, he secretly burned the Rouge Garden. Fortunately, a villager grafted and transplanted two Jinfeng litchis from the osmanthus tree. Dare to speak up, since then there are few people who know the truth, and Jinfeng disappeared.
