Chapter 338 - 329: Mulberry Seedlings
"Thank you, Aunt Guo. These fruits look so fresh and radiant. You’re so skilled at growing them—truly impressive," Xiao Han said with a smile.
Guo Shuduo waved her hand dismissively. "Oh, it’s just fruit. It’s meant to be eaten. Try a bite and see for yourself."
Aunt Guo, standing beside her, joked with a laugh, "Don’t listen to her being so modest. Her fruits have won quite a few awards. Most of the time, they go straight into high-end supermarkets."
"That amazing?" Xiao Han picked up a bright yellow loquat and quickly peeled off its soft skin. The ripe loquat easily revealed its pale-yellow flesh inside.
Taking a bite, he felt the sweet and juicy flavor flood his senses. It had a pure, naturally ripened sweetness, with a subtle hint of fruit acidity that made it even more appetizing.
"Delicious! This loquat tastes way better than the ones I buy outside." Xiao Han praised with a thumbs-up after spitting out the loquat seeds.
"Oh, stop, stop! Here, try this now." Though Guo Shuduo said "stop," her face broke into a wide smile as she offered Xiao Han the ripest red wax apple from the plate.
Wax apples are known as the "queen of fruits" and have a unique flavor that heavily relies on the method of cultivation. Poorly grown wax apples are tasteless, like chewing on sponge; only the top-quality ones are airy, juicy, and fragrant.
"Crunch."
Xiao Han took a bite, chewed twice, and instantly felt refreshed from head to toe.
The heat he had accumulated under the sun earlier seemed to vanish without a trace.
"This is delicious too," Xiao Han said, continuing to heap praise as he began contemplating how he might buy two fruit trees to take home.
