"Hey~"
After tasting the fruit, the young man sighed deeply and felt a sense of powerlessness.
"Oh, by the way, little brother, do you want to try my fruit too?" The young man said with an awkward smile, probably because he felt the atmosphere was a bit awkward.
"Okay!" Bai Feng replied, waiting for your words.
Bai Feng also noticed the situation on the young man's side. In fact, he was very curious about what the other party's fruit was like, and why everyone who had tasted it seemed to avoid it.
"By the way, my name is Jean, what do you call me?" While leading Bai Feng to his booth, the young man suddenly remembered that he and Bai Feng had not yet exchanged names.
"My name is Bai Feng." Bai Feng briefly introduced his name.
"You are so young and promising!" Gene couldn't help but sigh.
When he arrived at Jean's booth, Bai Feng tasted Jean's fruit as he wished, and at the same time he understood why his fruit was so unpopular.
The tree fruits here in Jean are similar to those in Bai Feng's. There are only a few varieties, and there are only a few types in total. Bai Feng knows them all, namely phoenix pear, thunderbolt, eggplant and light berry.
The Phoenix pear fruit is a tree fruit that looks slightly similar to the pineapple in Bai Feng's previous life, but it is not as big as a pineapple. One fruit is about the size of an adult's fist. The variety cultivated by Jean is even smaller.
Huang pear fruit is golden in color with green stripes on the surface. Normally, it tastes sour and extremely sweet.
But the variety cultivated by Jean has amplified the sour taste countless times, and one bite will directly make your teeth sore. Not to mention ordinary people can't stand it, even Pokémon who like sour taste can't stand it. There is a sweetness, but it's not obvious. It's probably too sour. Anyway, Bai Feng didn't taste it.
Pili fruit is a petal-shaped fruit with green skin. Normally, it tastes slightly bitter and astringent, but the overall smell is fragrant, similar to the taste of green tea.
But the variety cultivated by Jean was extremely bitter. One bite would numb the tongue. Anyway, after taking a bite, Bai Feng felt that his sense of taste had disappeared for a long time.
There is also Solanum, which is a spicy tree fruit that is red in color and has spikes. It is generally popular with some fire-type Pokémon.
The variety cultivated by Jean is indeed very spicy. Generally speaking, the spicier the fruit, the more popular it is. However, its problem is that it tastes very weird. It feels a bit like sand when eaten in the mouth, which is really unacceptable.
Finally, there are the lampberries.
The lantern berries are named because their appearance looks like small lanterns. They turn pure yellow when ripe. Their flesh is generally very soft and a large amount of juice can burst out with just a pinch.
The normal light berry has a strong aroma, with a slight osmanthus fragrance hidden in the rich fruity aroma. Because of its unique flavor, this tree fruit is not only very popular among Pokémon, but also loved by a large number of humans. it.
But the smell of the lamp berries cultivated by Jean is too strong. Even when you smell the smell at first, you just feel that the smell goes straight to your forehead. It is so strong that it makes people think that it is a kind of stink, not to mention the scent of osmanthus. It is ordinary. The fruity aroma is gone.
Who can bite a smelly fruit, not humans, not even Pokémon!
After communication, Bai Feng learned that Jean's hometown is on the easternmost plateau of the Carlos region. It has a special environment, unique soil quality, and a particularly large temperature difference between day and night, so the fruits grown there have a very peculiar taste.
The fruits that Gene cultivated are already improved varieties with their peculiar taste weakened by more than half.
Gene's hometown is a very poor countryside, and the only local specialty is these strange-tasting tree fruits.
His biggest dream since childhood was to help the village find a way to get rich. To this end, he has been working hard to improve tree fruit varieties.
It's a pity that after cultivating it for so long, the fruit of the tree he grew still tastes too strange. He came to the exhibition this time just to give it a try, just in case someone likes this kind of fruit with a unique flavor!
But the truth is, the miracle didn't happen.
After listening to Jean's story, Bai Feng became very interested in the fruit trees produced in his hometown. Improved varieties can produce fruit with such a "strong" flavor, so what does the unimproved fruit taste like? Bai Feng was very curious.
Thinking of this, he asked: "Mr. Jean, I wonder if you are interested in the fruit I cultivated."
Jean was a little surprised when he heard this, or maybe he didn't understand what Bai Feng meant. The planters who came to the exhibition were either there to attract investment or to exchange experiences. Bai Feng was probably the only one who came to trade for fruit trees. No wonder Gene didn't understand the situation for a while.
Seeing that Jean didn't understand, Bai Feng told Jean his request. He doesn't need the fruit trees that Gene has improved, he wants some original fruit trees from Gene's hometown.
"Do you really want to trade the fruit trees you cultivated for the fruit trees in my hometown?" Jean looked at Bai Feng as if he were a fool.
For any fruit grower, the fruit trees they cultivate are their hard work, especially those high-quality fruit trees. Almost no one will exchange their hard work with others unless they can exchange for a better variety. .
But what Bai Feng wants to replace is unimproved wild local fruit trees. The value is very different from the fruit trees he holds that can produce delicious fruits. Is this really no problem?
Bai Feng nodded: "Yes, I am studying the grafting of fruit trees, so I want to understand the differences in fruit trees in different regions."
I see! When Gene heard this, he suddenly realized that researchers would often ignore the cost and consequences in order to obtain research materials. He felt that Bai Feng might be in the same situation.
"Of course I'm happy to." After figuring out the situation, Gene said happily.
Perhaps from these fruit trees of Bai Feng, he can get inspiration for improving the fruit trees in his hometown. He has tasted the fruit of Bai Feng trees, and the taste is so wonderful. Whether it is sweetness, acidity, or aroma, they are all just right. Not one point too much, not one point too little.
The taste of several tree fruits grown by Bai Maple is relatively popular, mainly sweet and slightly sour. This taste occupies the mainstream among humans and Pokémon. After all, people like spicy, astringent, bitter and other flavors. Pokémon are only a minority, and even fewer humans like these flavors.
Seeing that Jean agreed, Bai Feng was of course very happy, but after thinking about it he still said: "Let me explain to you in advance, I live in Bizhi City not far from here, where it is like spring all year round, the climate is mild, and it is my hometown. The climate is quite different, so if you want to grow my tree fruits well, I’m afraid you’ll have to put some effort into it.”
"I know that, brother, don't worry."
After all, after cultivating fruit trees for so many years, it is impossible for Gene to not notice this problem. There are many ways to solve regional climate differences, it depends on whether you are willing to put in the effort.
The two then exchanged contact information and promised to send each other the fruit trees they needed after the exhibition.
After the deal with Bai Feng, the depressed look on Jean's face disappeared. Even if he was still rejected by the customers, he kept smiling.
Even if no one is willing to invest in him this time, he feels that the trip is worthwhile if he can get Bai Feng's fruit trees.
As time went by, more and more guests came to visit the exhibition and conference, and Bai Feng received more and more guests here.
Not all guests are easy to send away, such as the one Bai Feng is dealing with now.
"Sir, I really don't need investment. You'd better find another investor." Bai Feng said helplessly to the person in front of him.
The person who was pestering Bai Feng was a fat man who was dressed very boldly. He was wearing famous brands all over his body, as if he wanted to declare to the world: I am rich.
The little fat man was probably in his thirties, fair and tender. After taking a bite of Bai Feng's fruit, he was so shocked that he insisted on pestering Bai Feng to invest in him.
"Little boy, don't refuse in a hurry. I'm very rich. Just tell me the number. As long as you tell me, I'll satisfy you." The little fat man said with a proud look on his face.
"This is not a question of money, but I really don't need it." Bai Feng refused again.
"Why don't you come to the exhibition? Do you want to find better investors?" The little fat man looked at Bai Feng with suspicion, "I tell you, among the people who come here, there won't be any There is someone richer than me!"
(ㅍ_ㅍ) Bai Feng is no longer able to complain, can we keep a low profile?
"Boy, our boss is willing to invest in you because he thinks highly of you. Don't be ignorant!"
At this time, a big man wearing black clothes and black sunglasses behind the little fat man stepped forward and shouted at Bai Feng.
That's right, this little fat guy also has five or six bodyguards dressed like the Ax Gang. This is one of the important reasons why Bai Feng said that he acts in a high-profile manner.
Who is the truly rich person who goes out like this? Isn't this a proper nouveau riche?
"Hey~ David, why are you talking to your little brother! Be polite!" Seeing the bodyguard come forward, the little fat man immediately pretended to scold the bodyguard.
"Yes, boss, I know I was wrong." Upon hearing this, the bodyguard immediately lowered his head and then retreated behind the little fat man.
You two can't act like one!
At this time, Mr. Omura came back. He saw Bai Feng being surrounded by a group of people, so he quickly squeezed over and asked, "What happened? What happened?"
So Bai Feng had to tell the story about the little fat guy insisting on investing in him. After hearing this, Teacher Omura immediately said with a straight face: "You want to cause trouble? Do you believe I will go to the organizer to complain to you?"
This exhibition is hosted by the Pokémon League headquarters every year and co-organized by the regional Pokémon alliances. Although it is not as important as the trainers' alliance competition, the organizers will never allow anyone to cause trouble at the venue.
After hearing what Teacher Omura said, the little fat man was really a little scared. He bit the bullet and said: "What are you complaining about? Is it wrong for me to invest in him? Don't mess around!"
This has become someone else's trouble. Teacher Omura is speechless. His temper is famous in school. When encountering this kind of situation, he is already suppressing his anger.
"Cut the nonsense, we don't need investment!"
"Bai Feng, what happened here?"
At this time, another voice sounded. Bai Feng turned around and saw Fradali appearing not far from his booth at some unknown time.
However, before Bai Feng could say hello to Fradali, the little fat man had already rushed to Fradali's side and said with a smile on his face:
"Oh my God, Mr. Fradali, what is the fate that I can meet you here?"
Fradali was confused by the little fat man's enthusiastic attitude, and then greeted the little fat man with a smile: "It turns out to be Mr. Pierre. It's been a long time since we last seen each other. Are you coming to the exhibition too?"
"Yes, yes, I am quite interested in investing in fruit tree planting." Pierre said, rubbing his white and tender chubby hands.
"Then we have some consensus." Fradali said with a smile.
"That's right, that's right!" Pierre agreed with a flattering look on his face, "It's just that some people don't know what is good or bad. I want to invest in them with good intentions, but he still doesn't like it." As he said that, he gave Bai Feng a special look.
At this time, Fradali walked up to Bai Feng, pulled Bai Feng and said to Pierre: "Mr. Pierre and Bai Feng also know each other? What a coincidence, Bai Feng and I are also good friends!"
Hearing Fradali's words, Pierre was stunned for a moment, and then a bright smile immediately appeared on his face.
"Really? That's such a coincidence. I was praising this little brother just now. The tree fruit he cultivated is this!"
As he spoke, he gave Bai Feng a thumbs up.
His expression changed so quickly that Bai Feng was caught off guard, but he did not expose Mr. Pierre.
Keep everything on the line so that we can meet each other in the future. He is not a great person. If you can't offend such a villain, you should try your best not to offend him.
Knowing that Bai Feng was Fradali's friend, Pierre certainly did not dare to continue to entangle him. After shamelessly building a relationship with Fradali for a while, he left with satisfaction.
Seeing Pierre leaving, Fradali looked at Bai Feng and asked, "Do you have time to go shopping with me?"
Bai Feng looked at his booth, feeling a little embarrassed.
"Bai Feng, please go out for a walk. Let me look after the booth for you. Don't you want to exchange fruit trees? It's hard to gain anything by staying at the booth all the time. It's better for you to go and inspect it yourself." At this time, Teacher Omura said, As he spoke, he also took out a notebook and handed it to Bai Feng, "This is the fruit evaluation I made when visiting other booths. It records some of my analysis of the fruit at some booths. You can use it for reference."
Bai Feng took the notebook and said with gratitude: "Thank you, Teacher Omura."
Teacher Omura waved his hand and said: "What's the matter? You are my student, I can still help you with this little help."
Bai Feng was even more moved after hearing this.
"Teacher, I'll leave the booth to you. I'll be back as soon as possible."
Then Bai Feng took Teacher Omura's evaluation notes and visited the exhibition with Fradali. Vladali also came here this time to find some potential planters for investment, and it happened that Teacher Omura's notes were one of them. Great reference.
