Following closely behind Hu Xiaobei into the depths of the fruit garden, Han Xueyao couldn't help but feel doubtful when she saw his confident demeanor...
Soon, she suddenly remembered that Hu Xiaobei had indeed been secretly carrying out breeding experiments in this area over the past few days.
"Could it be that this little rascal has really bred some treasure this time?"
As these thoughts crossed her mind, Han Xueyao and Hu Xiaobei rounded the corner in front of them!
At that moment, Han Xueyao saw the new fruit Hu Xiaobei had bred...
The moment she saw it, Han Xueyao's eyes went wide...
Although Hu Xiaobei had previously hinted something to her, Han Xueyao was still agape and astounded...
There was no helping it; the scene before her had thoroughly shocked her!
...
"So cute!"
As Han Xueyao was reeling from the shock, Hu Xiaobei couldn't help but chuckle to himself!
He had guessed beforehand that she would have such a reaction, so at this moment, he was happily appreciating it...
"Xiaobei, what... what in the world is going on?"
Snapping back to her senses and still astonished, Han Xueyao quickly took a few steps forward!
Soon enough, she found herself beside the lush peach tree that was as thick as a person...
If it were just an overgrown peach tree, Han Xueyao wouldn't be surprised!
What surprised her was that the peaches on this tree were half the height of a person...
"It's real, these half-person-tall peaches are actually real!"
After touching them, she murmured quietly...
Before she touched them, she had always thought they were just models.
But after touching them, she knew they were not models, but real peaches!
Observing her shocked expression, Hu Xiaobei explained softly, "Auntie, these are the peaches I've bred before, how are they? The appearance is not bad, right?"
Looking at Hu Xiaobei and nodding vigorously, Han Xueyao said, "Not bad? They are amazing! Oh, by the way, Xiaobei, what... what does this peach taste like?"
As she inquired, Han Xueyao's eyes greedily admired them!
Seeing Han Xueyao's eager expression, Hu Xiaobei's smile grew even broader!
"Auntie, what a pity! These new varieties are in short supply at the moment, so you can't taste them just yet! But I can assure you, the taste is really good."
"I believe you!"
After nodding in agreement, Han Xueyao looked towards the other fruit trees and discovered that the apples on the apple trees were about the same size as the peaches...
After touching one of the apples, Han Xueyao praised them, "They will surely astonish everyone at the exhibition."
Having said that, Han Xueyao couldn't help but feel sympathy for the other fruit and vegetable merchants participating in the exhibition...
While Han Xueyao was feeling sympathy for the others, Hu Xiaobei began to pack them all into huge wooden crates!
Previously, Hu Xiaobei had specially had several large wooden crates made for them...
...
"Auntie, aren't you coming with me?"
After packing all the fruit, Hu Xiaobei looked at Han Xueyao, somewhat surprised.
Previously, Hu Xiaobei had wanted Han Xueyao to accompany him, but it seemed she had a different opinion.
"Xiaobei, I won't go this time. Today, people from all the nearby villages will gather here, and later, we will all watch the live broadcast together in the village!"
"Live broadcast?"
"Yes, the exhibition is very important, and our city will broadcast it in full! To let everyone see more clearly, I specially arranged for someone to install more than a dozen super-large LED screens in our village, and later, I and everyone else will be able to see it for real."
"Since the LED screens are already installed, then come with me!"
"What? If Auntie doesn't go, do you lose your nerve?"
Upon hearing Han Xueyao's teasing, Hu Xiaobei rubbed his nose. "No, I just really want you to go with me!"
"Auntie knows! But Auntie really can't go. With so many people coming to our village, I must be on-site to keep an eye on things. Otherwise, if something really happens, it wouldn't be good, right?"
"That... is true! Then, Auntie, you can watch the live broadcast with everyone."
"Okay! Just so you know, with so many people watching, you better not embarrass us."
"Don't worry, I definitely won't let you or anyone else down."
"You'd best not."
...
"Sister-in-law, you... you're not going with me either?"
On the truck, Hu Xiaobei rubbed his nose with some frustration!
Just now, after they set off, Hu Xiaobei had called Guo Meiyu to ask her to come to the exhibition with him.
But Guo Meiyu also refused!
"Sister-in-law wanted to go with you too, but I really can't! The shop is just too busy right now, and I can't get away."
"Then... then I understand!"
Disheartened, Hu Xiaobei could only hang up the phone!
"I initially wanted to show off these newly cultivated fruits in front of Sister-in-law! Now it seems there's no chance!"
Because there was no opportunity to show off in front of Guo Meiyu, Hu Xiaobei felt like he was on a clandestine mission...
...
"Master Xiaobei, you really need to perk up today! This day is extremely important for everyone in our entire village."
After hearing the driver's somewhat tense words, Hu Xiaobei smiled and said, "Rest assured, I know! I will definitely be energetic."
"That's good to hear! Master Xiaobei, you also know, in the past, every time there was a fruit and vegetable exhibition, we were embarrassed because the 'Yongqiang Brand' didn't deliver. This time, the exhibition is being held on our doorstep. If we get outperformed by them again, it would truly be embarrassing!"
"Yeah, I'm aware of that! So this time, I definitely won't lose," Hu Xiaobei said earnestly.
Hu Xiaobei knew how important this exhibition was, as it was held every year.
Each time it took place in a different location...
This time, it was being held in his own East Lake Province, so it was even more crucial not to lose face, or the situation would be truly awkward...
After hearing Hu Xiaobei express himself so seriously, the driver smiled!
...
"It looks like this exhibition is really quite grand!"
Twenty minutes later, after getting off the truck, Hu Xiaobei looked at the enormous main venue and exclaimed with genuine admiration...
After the admiration, Hu Xiaobei heard the driver speak!
"Master Xiaobei, the staff needs to check and register the fruits we're exhibiting, which will take some time. You can go ahead inside now! I'll keep an eye on things here."
"Alright! I'll go set up the booth then!"
"Okay!"
After the driver agreed, Hu Xiaobei got ready to familiarize himself with the venue...
...
"Wow, this is strict!"
Having walked a few steps towards the entrance of the venue, Hu Xiaobei noticed many staff members checking invitations on both sides of the entrance corridor...
Those without an invitation were firmly denied entry...
"Looks like it won't be chaotic inside!"
Chuckling lightly, Hu Xiaobei took out his invitation, preparing to enter, when suddenly his phone in his pocket began to ring...
"Who could it be at this time?"
Squinting his eyes in surprise, Hu Xiaobei took out his phone. Soon, a faint smile appeared on his lips. After walking towards a corner, Hu Xiaobei quickly answered the call...
