At the peach harvest in Qiangou Village, villagers secretly dye unripe peaches to build their reputation, which is publicly exposed by returning female college student Ye Qingqing. Ye Qingqing is determined to lead the villagers to sell high-priced peaches, creating a disagreement with Chen Xiangdong, who is willing to purchase peaches at 6 yuan per catty and absorb the losses. The villagers, swept up by continuously rising quotes, repeatedly delay loading, stubbornly cling to inflated prices, and reject Chen Xiangdong's reliable guarantee plan. As a rainstorm warning approaches, the villagers refuse to ship out in time just to gamble on high prices, even concealing the reality that the peaches have become soft from the rain. High-priced buyers come to inspect the goods, discover a large number of spoiled peaches, and quotations plummet.
