Just as Chen Shuning was saying this, she saw Hei Zi holding a banana and about to put it in his mouth without even peeling it, so she quickly stopped him: "Wait a minute, you have to peel the banana before you eat it."
But Chen Shuning's attempt to stop him was too late. Hei Zi, who had been longing to taste the banana ever since he saw it at that person's place, took a big bite out of the banana in his hand, peel and all.
Seeing this, Chen Shuning looked helpless and had no choice but to take another banana and demonstrate how to peel it.
Seeing that Heizi had learned how to peel it, she casually handed the peeled banana to the monkey next to her. As for the one that Heizi had taken a bite out of and that was covered in saliva, she was a little reluctant to peel it.
Hei Zi had just taken a bite of the banana, peel and all, and felt a bitter and astringent taste in his mouth. Just as he was about to lament that the banana wasn't tasty at all, he heard Chen Shuning's words.
Feeling a little embarrassed, I peeled the skin according to Chen Shuning's method, and after taking another bite, the taste was indeed different. Just as Brother Zhu said, it was sweet, soft, and glutinous.
However, compared to the grapes mentioned earlier, Kuroko still prefers grapes with a stronger fruity aroma and a sweet and sour taste.
After seeing that Hei Zi had finished the banana, Chen Shuning gave him a persimmon. The temperature had already dropped below zero at night, so it wasn't surprising that Chen Shuning took out a frozen persimmon.
Chen Shuning froze the persimmons in the freezer in his space. The temperature was set so that the juice inside the persimmons was frozen into a slushy state, making each bite sweet and refreshing.
Hei Zi was naturally very satisfied with what he ate, and his underlings watching him drooled.
After finishing the persimmon, Kuroko glanced around and saw that all the fruits were of the same quality, which made him so happy that he couldn't suppress the smile on his face.
After Hei Zi confirmed the quality of the fruit, Chen Shuning showed the charcoal to Hei Zi and then stood aside waiting for Hei Zi to inspect the goods.
There wasn't much to see at the charcoal, and Fruit Blackie only glanced at it briefly.
Turning his head, he saw the skinny monkey still munching on a banana peel and a group of underlings staring at the basket of fruit with shining eyes.
Hei Zi glared at his spineless underlings, handed the half-eaten grapes in his hand to Monkey, and roared, "You bunch of good-for-nothings, get to work! Do you think you'll be shortchanged when the goods are transported back? Hurry up, especially with these fruits. Handle them gently and quickly. These are precious fruits; they can't be damaged by bumps or freezing. Brothers, keep a close eye on your men while you work."
Even if the haters didn't say it, everyone knows how precious these fruits are. You can tell just by looking at how their leader eats grapes and how the monkey eats bananas. These fruits are not only good-looking, but they must taste amazing too.
Seeing that Hei Zi's people were all busy, and knowing that the time she had agreed to meet with Wang Chunni and the others was approaching, Chen Shuning didn't linger any longer.
Meanwhile, Hei Zi, who had been keeping a serious expression on his face, kept telling one subordinate to be gentle and another to hurry up. Upon hearing that Chen Shuning was leaving...
He immediately looked at Chen Shuning with a completely different expression, smiling as he saw her out of the house. He also very tactfully only escorted her to the door and did not follow her out of the courtyard.
Chen Shuning was very satisfied with Hei Zi's good behavior. After quickly leaving the alley and seeing that no one was following him, Chen Shuning hurriedly found an empty alley and entered his space.
After changing back to his original appearance, Chen Shuning headed towards the supply and marketing cooperative where he had arranged to meet Wang Chunni and the others.
When Chen Shuning arrived, Wang Chunni and the others had just arrived as well. Besides the two of them, there were quite a few other people who came with them.
Yang Wanqiu, Feng Baoguo, Gu Xinyi, Gao Hongyuan, Zhong Lingling, Wang Wenqi, Wang Zhi, Tian Mi, Zhang Tingting, and all the people living in the backyard except for Liu Shumei and her husband actually came.
Dong Weiwei and Guo Dan, who were also selling pork, hitched a ride with them.
Yes, Feng Baoguo didn't come pushing a cart either; instead, he rented an oxcart from the brigade.
It turned out that Feng Baoguo was instructing Xu Lu on what he would be doing leading the educated youth up the mountain that day and what precautions to take.
Gu Xinyi and the others then learned that Yang Wanqiu and Wang Chunni were coming to town to buy charcoal today.
The people in the backyard were experiencing a winter in Heilongjiang Province for the first time. They had only heard that it was cold and that a lot of firewood was needed for warmth, but they could see that they could not collect much firewood even though they went up the mountain every day.
Upon hearing that if it got any colder, heavy snow would block the mountains, and wild animals would come out of the deep mountains, everyone became anxious.
It's not that no one is thinking of buying coal for heating like Chen Shuning did.
Gu Xinyi had been going to town every day for five or six days in a row recently, but she still couldn't buy coal. So she gave up and started going up the mountain to chop firewood with the other educated youth every day.
Hearing that there might be charcoal for sale in town, they naturally all came to check it out.
Chen Shuning was clearly surprised by the large number of people who came, and glanced at Wang Chunni and Xu Laidi.
The other person also came over looking confused, but Xu Laidi, who reacted quickly, quietly approached Chen Shuning and whispered, "Chunni and I don't know what happened either. We just didn't want too many people to know, so we were thinking of telling Brother Feng this morning that we wouldn't be going up the mountain with everyone today."
Unexpectedly, as soon as we arrived at the old house, we heard Brother Feng say that he was going to accompany Yang Wanqiu to town to buy charcoal today. Gu Xinyi and the others also wanted to come over, so they went to the village together to rent an oxcart.
When Xu Laidi said that, Chen Shuning understood. Yesterday, she had just finished talking to Wang Chunni about buying charcoal when Yang Wanqiu came over from the old house.
They must have been eavesdropping for quite a while, but the things on the black market aren't from her family. No, wait, the charcoal they want to buy does seem to be something she actually sold.
