Peach.

The man agreed, and just as he was about to perform, he asked again: "What kind of trick are you playing?" The people in the hall discussed with each other for a while, and then saw a Yamen servant walking down the hall and asked him what he was good at. Nice trick. The man replied: "I can reverse the seasons of living things and grow all kinds of things." After the yamen servant returned to the hall to report, he came down again and asked him to perform a peach fetching performance.
