Gu Yunyang was not worried that the other party would not come.
It's only May, and apples are a fruit for autumn and winter.
At this point, the earliest the apples will be available will be at the end of September.
This is the North, so we don't lack this.
But apples in May, especially big and red ones, how could the people behind the black market not be tempted?
They also need to use connections.
Sure enough, it wasn't long before the gatekeeper invited Gu Yunyang inside and led him to a courtyard nearby.
This place is a maze of roads, probably to prevent people from getting caught.
Inside a room, a middle-aged man in his forties sat there, watching Gu Yunyang with great interest.
He was sizing up Gu Yunyang, and Gu Yunyang looked at him without any fear, poised and confident, even a little condescending.
This is a clash of power.
The man wasn't particularly burly; he even had a scholarly air about him.
But Gu Yunyang still noticed the hint of contempt deep in his eyes.
This person is probably not simple either.
That's true. Where in the capital city can you find an easy black market?
Taking this apple was probably for the sake of the person behind it.
"Do you have an apple?" the man asked.
Gu Yunyang nodded: "Of course, the reason I'm here today is to give you a sample."
What he meant was that he had a lot more here, and if anyone wanted to trade, there would be plenty more to come.
Of course, he will only come this once; he won't come again.
He's only here today to sell the property deed.
This apple was just a trial balloon.
He ripened these yesterday, intending to keep them for himself.
Didn't we get the property deed today and plan to sell it as soon as possible?
In six years, this house may not be able to stay.
The neighborhood committee will arrange for people to move into any houses that are not occupied.
Even if we manage to get it back later, we'll still have to deal with some holdout residents living there.
Therefore, although Gu Yunyang planned to buy several more courtyard houses in the capital in the future.
But let's wait until after 1979 to talk about it.
Sure enough, the man's eyes lit up when Gu Yunyang said that, and he asked Gu Yunyang to take the apple over to take a look.
As soon as I lifted the blanket, the aroma of apples wafted out.
Moreover, Gu Yunyang brought out an improved Red Fuji apple, which was large and red, and had a perfect balance of sourness and sweetness.
Gu Yunyang took one out and broke the apple in half with one hand.
That clever move stunned the man.
That's quite a bit of strength.
Gu Yunyang displayed this skill for this very reason.
Seeing his nonchalant manner, the man's eyes narrowed. When Gu Yunyang handed him the apple, he picked it up, took out a handkerchief, wiped it, and then ate it.
Upon tasting it, the man's eyes lit up immediately: "Delicious!"
Isn't it delicious?
At this time, the apple wasn't very big, and it wasn't this red.
It tastes much more sour than this.
The one Gu Yunyang took out was very sweet and moist.
It was Gu Yunyang who used his wood-type superpower to ripen it, so it naturally tastes delicious.
"So, how much will you charge?"
Gu Yunyang asked.
He asked the question casually, but the man opposite him understood what he meant.
If they don't offer a good price, this might be the last time we do business.
"One dollar and two cents?" the man asked tentatively.
Without saying a word, Gu Yunyang grabbed the basket and prepared to leave.
