Chapter 527: 527. Three students_1 Chapter 527: 527. Three students_1 At these words, the expressions of Professor Song and the three students behind him became even more peculiar—-
Girl, haven’t you realized that the focus right now is not whether the suitcase will get scuffed… Of course, they often go to the countryside, the suitcase has long been battered and tattered, and the wheels are barely holding on, so it doesn’t matter whether it gets scuffed or not.

The point is, how did you manage to lift the suitcase with one hand?

You have to understand, inside an agriculturist’s suitcase, it is not just clothes!

Especially Professor Song, if it weren’t for the high-speed train’s security check being too much of a hassle, and his laziness to check it in, he could even bring a set of portable farming tools!

At this moment, the four of them stood in the underground parking lot, looking at each other in confusion, it was then that Song Tan hesitated for a moment before speaking, “Well… the conditions are a bit simple…”

“It’s okay, it’s okay! Thank you for coming to pick us up—-I am Song Zhisheng.” Professor Song recovered his wits, promptly opened the car door, and got in: “Xiaoyan, you sit in the front.”

“This is Yan Ran.”

The dark-skinned girl named Yan Ran took her heavy, bulging backpack from her back, then opened the car door and sat down, followed by a slight smile toward Song Tan: “I get carsick easily.”

Song Tan’s heart lifted: “Is it severe? Do you want to take some motion sickness medicine?”

And she started the car.

Yan Ran smiled: “No worries, I’m feeling alright now, as long as it’s not a particularly bumpy mountain road, I won’t throw up.”

The motion sickness medicine made her drowsy for a long time, and she was somewhat unaccustomed to it, so she tried not to take it if possible.

Song Tan: …
Just…

What to say?

From the high-speed train station, after driving around the suburban roads for about twenty to thirty minutes, it would be the road leading to the towns and villages…

She could only glance at her rear-view mirror: “Professor Song, there’s a bag of Eagle Beak Peaches on the back seat; I brought them especially for you. Have a couple first to settle your stomach. The road ahead is rough and bumpy.”

Professor Song didn’t refuse, but glanced at the bag in the corner: “Peaches from your own farm?”

“Yes!” Song Tan nodded, “Our family has a unique secret recipe for growing these things; the taste is extraordinary! Please try them.”

Ah, the trouble with having an expert around — they’re not so easy to bluff.

As for the improvements at home, even if she gave her family any sort of ramshackle explanation, her family would believe her.

Not to mention, Sancheng and Wu Lan had plenty of worldly wisdom, but did they ever delve to the root of it?

Sometimes, kinship is the strongest barrier.

But when it comes to Professor Song, half-hearted explanations wouldn’t do.

No matter though—-when Song Tan was making preparations to invite someone over, she had already prepared for this.

Professor Song took out a peach, his brow now deeply furrowed.

“I’ve looked into Yun City’s climate before… this shouldn’t be the most suitable place for Eagle Beak Peaches to grow.”

And the peach in his hand, perhaps because it had been washed and then left for a while, the velvety skin was showing signs of revival.

The tender green was evenly distributed on top, with only a bit on the side that was slightly reddened due to excessive sunlight, making it look particularly fresh, and it was noticeably hefty in his hand.

Professor Song had experience, he guessed it was about half a pound with just a shake.

This only made his brows furrow even tighter.

He could understand and feel that Song Tan was trying very hard to take care of them, so this peach must also be one of the best selected from their home.

But in reality, the best tasting Eagle Beak Peach shouldn’t weigh more than about four taels, this peach was too big and might taste a bit bland.

However… the appearance was really too good, probably one of a few carefully selected.

He glanced sideways at the wrinkled plastic bag that seemed carelessly packed, and the weird feeling in his heart grew stronger.

Song Tan was very generous, “Professor Song, our family indeed has some unique methods for growing these, otherwise we wouldn’t have had the nerve to take a big risk with Bags Mountain and invite you over… You should try it first, this peach tastes great. Eating it might refresh you a bit, and later on the walk through mountain roads won’t feel so uncomfortable.”

Yan Ran, who should have been the most eager to eat the peach, kept waving her hands: “I won’t eat, I won’t eat. If I’m too full, I might get sick with all the jostling later.”

Moreover, with this peach being so large, after eating a whole one on top of an undigested lunch and snacks, it would be enough to make someone feel overstuffed.

But Professor Song wasn’t shy.

Since they were there to help with mountain-area planning, it was only right to sample which crops the family was more skilled in growing, and now he lifted the bag: “Let’s all try it.”

Even Xiaoyan, who was saying she would not eat, also held one in her hand.

The boy sitting to the left of Professor Song had thick eyebrows that immediately danced with excitement when he got the peach, his expression both animated and exaggerated: “Wow! Such a big peach!”

“Boss Song, I’m Tai Xiaodong–do all your peaches look like this?”

Song Tan responded, “Yes, they’re all very uniform, but this year’s peaches are all sold out. We only kept a few trees on the edge for ourselves to eat, and some smaller peaches that weren’t picked from the trees.”

“Huh?” The boy seated on the far right, a distinctive red birthmark at his temple, looked up: “All sold out already? Ah, forgot to introduce myself, I’m Qi Lin.”

Song Tan glanced at the rearview mirror, silently noting down the names, then answered their questions: “Yes, as we were about to start picking, a previous customer introduced a wholesaler to us, and the wholesaler brought a partner. The two of them leased the whole orchard.”

Professor Song was quite pleased: “That’s great! The hardest part of farming in the countryside is finding sales channels. You’ve established that on your own, so when we do the planning later, we can not only adopt strategies suited to the local conditions but we can also be a bit bolder based on your customers.”

As he spoke, he took a bite from the peach–
!!!

Professor Song’s eyes went wide!

He stared intently at the peach in his hand with a missing bite, looking at it from left to right, top to bottom, all the while chewing busily, his expression was one of shock, yet his brows were tightly furrowed and contorted:
“It shouldn’t be! How could an Eagle Beak Peach taste like this? How can it be so big and still have such an astonishing taste…”

“What’s up, is it delicious? Or does the peach taste like an apple?”

Tai Xiaodong’s eyebrows flew up again with curiosity–though a peach tasting like an apple wasn’t impossible.

In recent years, breeding had always ventured into bizarre avenues. There were even apples that tasted like pears! Who knew if it was an accidental discovery during breeding, or if it was intentional? What’s more, why breed it in the first place?

Curious, he looked at Qi Lin beside him, who also took a bite and couldn’t help but exclaim, “Holy shit!”

Tai Xiaodong: ??!

That was the normally more composed Qi Lin! Much more calm than himself, the chatterbox–and now even he was–
He exchanged a look with Yan Ran, who was turning around to look back, and then at the peach in his hand. Without hesitation, he took a big bite too.
