The Fruit Exhibition was held in the central square of Miare City. Because there were a lot of preparations that needed to be made in advance, Bai Feng and Teacher Omura set out early in the morning before it was fully lighted.
But even so, when they arrived at the central square, the entire square's exhibition booths were already full of exhibitors.
It's not time yet, so outsiders are not allowed to enter yet. Only exhibitors can enter in advance to prepare. These people came so early, obviously just like Bai Feng, to prepare in advance.
The location of Bai Feng's booth is relatively remote. It is squeezed into a corner in the southwest corner of the square. It is difficult to attract attention. However, whoever asked him to register later will be more likely to be arranged in a good position. .
Teacher Omura comforted him and said: "As long as your trees have good fruit, it doesn't matter if the location is remote."
Bai Feng said nonchalantly: "It doesn't matter to me whether it's remote or not. I'm not here to attract investment anyway."
Teacher Omura thinks about it and thinks so. Since there is no investment, the remote location will not have much impact.
So the two began to set up the booth, set up a table, plant signs, install fresh-keeping equipment, etc. A lot of preparation work needed to be done. By the time they were almost done, it was already getting late, and the tree and fruit exhibition conference had officially begun.
The venue began to let people in to visit, and people came to inquire about the situation at other booths one after another. Bai Feng and the others were not interested yet because the location was relatively remote.
Bai Feng was not in a hurry. He and Teacher Omura sat quietly behind the booth and ate breakfast by the way. They had been busy all morning and they didn't even have time to eat breakfast.
When the time was almost up, Bai Feng and Teacher Omura cut the fruits in their booth into diced pieces and placed them neatly on exquisite plates with bamboo skewers attached for the convenience of visitors to taste.
Most of the booths do this. After all, the exhibition is not a business. In order to attract investment, most of the tree fruits on the booth can be tasted for free.
Seeing that it had been half an hour since the exhibition opened, and no one had come here yet, Bai Feng said to Teacher Omura: "Teacher, why don't you go for a walk first? I can just watch here alone."
Teacher Omura thought for a moment and said, "That's okay. I'll wander around for a while and come back to replace you."
Bai Feng shook his head and said nothing. The booth was his, and Teacher Omura was just here to help for free, so he didn't want to take up too much of the teacher's time.
What Bai Feng didn't expect was that not long after Teacher Omura left, a visitor came to his booth.
"Well...well, hello."
A timid voice brought Bai Feng back from his distracted thoughts. He looked up and saw a girl wearing glasses standing in front of his booth.
The girl is not tall and has long dark brown hair, tied into two braids hanging on her chest. Her personality seems to be very introverted, and she is obviously not very good at communicating with others.
Next to her was a beautiful and bold Poison Rose, which was looking at Bai Feng and the fruits in his booth with curious eyes.
"Hello!" Bai Feng greeted the other party in a friendly manner, "Sister, do you want to taste the fruit? You can try everything on the plate over there, please feel free to do so."
"Thank you... thank you..."
The girl smiled shyly, then picked up a bamboo stick and inserted a piece of fruit from the plate into her mouth. Then she slightly rounded her glasses.
"This...isn't this delicious?" When she realized what she was doing, the girl's face suddenly turned red. She looked at Bai Feng expectantly and said, "Can I try another piece?"
Bai Feng smiled and nodded: "Of course, you can taste the fruits on the plate as you like."
The girl nodded, then tasted a piece of each fruit, not forgetting to feed a few mouthfuls of the poisonous rose beside her.
Poison Rose's personality is completely opposite to that of its trainer, but its reaction after eating the fruit is exactly the same as that of its trainer.
After being surprised by the smell of the fruit, it began to wink at Bai Feng, as if to wink a few more times. It seems that Bai Feng can treat it to eat more fruits.
The girl was very careful when tasting the fruit. From time to time she would close her eyes and carefully feel the flavor of the fruit. Those who didn't know it thought she was a gourmet.
After tasting all kinds of tree fruits, the girl walked up to Bai Feng and shyly introduced herself:
"Hello, my name is Julia. I come from Tianguan Academy in the Sinnoh region and am a fruit grower."
Bai Feng was a little surprised when he heard this. He didn't expect that the girl in front of him was a college student from a senior college. He thought that she was at most an intermediate school senior a few years ahead of him.
At senior schools, majors are no longer just broadly divided into cultivation majors and combat majors, but are specifically divided into many more detailed majors, and fruit planting is one of them.
However, fruit planting is a relatively unpopular major, and many high-end colleges and universities do not even offer such a major.
In contrast, majors such as pharmacy and Pokémon food research related to tree fruits are more popular.
Bai Feng, the famous name of Tianguan Academy, is also famous. It is a famous institution of higher learning in the Pokémon world. Its strength can be ranked at least in the top three in the entire Pokémon world. It is located at the foot of Tianguan Mountain in Sinnoh.
Such famous schools are not found in every region. The more famous institution of higher learning in the Kalos region is Niederbel College located in King Dudelin City of King Azote. However, its popularity is far from that of Sinnoh’s Tianguan School. Compare.
The Azot Kingdom is one of the few autonomous regions under the Pokémon Alliance. Its royal capital, Delin City, is a city with a very developed mechanical industry, and Niederbel Academy was founded by the ancestors of the Azot Kingdom family. It can be regarded as an institution of higher learning with a long history.
It's just that although Cadet Niederbel is very famous in the Kalos region, he is not that eye-catching in the entire Pokémon world.
"Hello, my name is Bai Feng, and I am the owner of this booth." After the girl Julia finished the introduction, Bai Feng also introduced himself.
Julia said eagerly: "That...that...can I meet the grower who cultivated these fruits?"
Bai Feng nodded and replied: "Of course, you have already seen it."
Julia looked confused when she heard this. She stretched her neck and looked behind Bai Feng: "Where is it? Where is it?" However, she did not see the second person.
"I mean, I am the one who cultivated these fruits." Seeing Julia's blank look, Bai Feng couldn't help but replied with a smile.
"Ah?" Julia immediately covered her mouth and looked at the little boy in front of her in disbelief, who was not taller than herself. It took her a long time to ask, "Is this true?"
Bai Feng nodded: "Of course!"
When Julia heard this, her eyes immediately sparkled, and she asked excitedly: "Then can I communicate with you?" Julia's character is relatively simple, and she did not have the slightest doubt about Bai Feng's words.
"Of course, you can't ask for it!" Bai Feng replied.
Being able to exchange planting experiences with a top student from Tianguan College was indeed a rare opportunity for Bai Feng.
So Bai Feng called Bai Ye to see the booth, while he and Julia ran to the side to exchange planting experiences.
Because there were few people visiting here, no one came to disturb them. The two of them lost track of time while talking.
Julia is worthy of being from Tianguan Academy. Her professional knowledge is very good, and she is not the kind of theorist who can only talk on paper. She has very rich experience in cultivating tree fruits.
According to her, the fruit planting major is a very unpopular major at Tianguan College, with less than ten students enrolled, so these few people established a mutual aid group, and Julia was a member of this group.
They specially applied for a piece of land in the college to cultivate fruit trees, and this time they came to the exhibition with their new achievements.
Cultivation of high-quality tree fruits often requires a large amount of money, but Julia and the members of the mutual aid group are not from wealthy families. Although they have research funds allocated by the college, it is still far from enough, so they thought of participating in this event. Exhibition.
If they can attract enough investment, their tree fruit cultivation business can reach a higher level.
Bai Feng is not as good as Julia in terms of practical experience in tree fruit research, but he has read a lot of planting books collected by Fu Ye, which is considered rich in theory, so he communicates with Julia, and they talk to each other. It's very congenial.
When she learned that Bai Feng wanted to exchange the fruit trees he cultivated for some fruit trees from other areas, Julia said excitedly: "Bai Feng, you should also visit our booth and taste our tree fruits. If you are satisfied, then trade with us, you must trade with us!"
When talking about things related to fruit planting, Julia seemed to be a different person. Not only did she no longer stutter when speaking, but her whole person became extremely excited.
"Julia, you are here!"
Just when Bai Feng and Julia were talking enthusiastically, a voice interrupted their conversation, and a tall, slightly fat girl ran over panting, with a few beads of sweat hanging on her face. .
Behind the girl was Julia's Poison Rose. It was obvious that Poison Rose knew the virtues of her trainer. Seeing that Julia and Bai Feng had lost track of time while chatting, she went to find Julia's companions.
As for Julia, the big boss, she didn't even notice when her Pokémon disappeared.
"Amy, why are you here!"
Seeing the fat girl, Julia stood up in surprise and asked.
The fat girl named Amy walked up to Julia, patted her, and said angrily: "You have the nerve to say, why did you disappear while walking! I thought you were lost. I’m looking everywhere, if Poison Rose hadn’t brought me here, I don’t know when I would have found it!”
"Hehe... I was so happy chatting that I forgot about the time." Julia smiled shamefully, and then she suddenly pulled Amy to Bai Feng and said to Amy, "Amy, this It’s my new friend Bai Feng, he is also a fruit grower, he can cultivate B-grade fruit trees!”
Looking at the young man in front of her who was less than her shoulders, Amy had no doubts. She knew Julia's character and knew that she was very persistent in matters related to tree fruits. Since the young man in front of her could chat with Julia, Speculation, that means he does have real material.
She was just a little surprised. It was unbelievable that such a boy who looked like he was only twelve or thirteen years old could cultivate B-level fruit.
The members of their mutual aid group are all high-achieving students from colleges and universities and have received the most advanced technical studies. But even so, except for Julia, few of them can definitely cultivate B-level fruit trees.
Different from Julia's frank character, Amy is more humane and sophisticated. She stretched out her hand to Bai Feng with a smile and said:
"Hello, my name is Amy. I am Julia's classmate and good friend. I study at Sinnoh Tianguan Academy. Julia has a simple personality. I hope she didn't cause you any trouble just now. If so, I will tell you on her behalf. Apologize."
"Hello, my name is Bai Feng. Julia and I got along very well, and I'm glad to meet her." Bai Feng stretched out his hand and shook her.
Seeing that Bai Feng and Amy already knew each other, Julia said to Amy excitedly: "Bai Feng can not only cultivate B-level fruit, but the fruit he cultivates also has a very unique taste. I plan to use the fruit trees we cultivate Swap a batch with him..."
Julia kept talking to Amy about Bai Feng, but Amy didn't show any impatience on her face. Instead, she responded to her from time to time. It was obvious that the two of them were very accustomed to this way of getting along.
Under Julia's introduction, Amy also tasted the tree fruits cultivated by Bai Feng. She was instantly attracted by the unique flavor, and looked at Bai Feng again with a hint of admiration and solemnity in her eyes.
The shock brought by hearing about it was completely different from the actual experience. After actually tasting Bai Feng's fruit, Amy realized how terrifying the boy in front of her was.
If this tree fruit with a unique flavor is really cultivated in large quantities, it will definitely occupy a place in the market in the future.
After learning that Julia was going to exchange a batch of fruit trees with Bai Feng, Amy raised her hands in agreement. She felt that if their mutual aid group could use Bai Feng's fruit trees to cultivate a fruit tree unique to their style, then they You will definitely be able to stand out in the future.
After exchanging contact information with Bai Feng and telling Bai Feng the location of their exhibition booth, Amy left with Julia.
"Bai Feng, I'm waiting for you at our booth!" Before leaving, Julia turned around and shouted to Bai Feng.
After Julia and the others left, several more people came to Bai Feng's booth one after another. After tasting Bai Feng's fruit, they were all amazed by its unique flavor and proactively offered to invest in Bai Feng. .
But Bai Feng refused them all. The purpose of his participation in the exhibition was not to attract investment.
Although not many people visit Bai Feng, the feedback rate from customers is very high. Almost everyone who has tasted the fruits from his trees expressed their willingness to invest.
The situation at the booth next to Bai Feng was exactly the opposite. Ten people who tasted the fruit from his tree shook their heads and waved their hands in rejection.
The owner of the booth next door was a handsome young man with blond hair and blue eyes, but the depressed look on his face destroyed 99% of that handsomeness.
Seeing Bai Feng reject another investor, the other investor said with envy: "That's great, if only there were so many people here willing to invest!"
Seeing Bai Feng looking over, the young man smiled sheepishly.
Bai Feng also smiled at him in a friendly manner, and then asked: "Would you like to taste my fruit too?"
"Hey~ me?" the young man asked, pointing at himself in surprise, not forgetting to look to both sides, thinking that Bai Feng was talking to someone else.
Bai Feng nodded and said, "Yes."
"Okay, then I'll give it a try."
The young man hesitated for a moment and then nodded in agreement. He was really curious about why Bai Feng's fruit was so popular. Is it really that delicious? Or is it that the energy rating of the tree fruit is very high?
"Please taste it." Bai Feng brought the cut fruit to the young man.
The moment he ate the fruit, the young man understood everything. Even if the energy rating of this unique tree fruit was only E or F, it could outperform ordinary tree fruits. It was indeed worth investing in.
If the energy rating were higher, the future would be limitless.
The young man is also a professional fruit grower. Of course he can taste that the energy rating of these fruits will never be lower than C level.
