However, since the item has already been sold, she won't interfere with who Kuroko sells it to.
So she patted Xu Laidi's arm reassuringly and lowered her voice, saying, "It's okay, let's hurry up and try to get there first."
She didn't know how much wood and coal was on the black market, but she sold a lot of charcoal to Hei Zi this time.
I'll buy less for myself and leave more for others; that should be enough for them to use for a while.
She hadn't paid attention to the charcoal in her space before; otherwise, if she had started collecting it earlier, she would have accumulated quite a lot by now.
Since it wasn't exactly a legitimate market, Chen Shuning and his group had the oxcart wait not too far from the black market.
The group then walked towards the alley where the black market was located.
Even if Chen Shuning doesn't come under Aunt Ning's identity now, she still has to obediently pay money to enter the black market.
Feng Baoguo didn't buy anything, so Yang Wanqiu naturally helped him pay his share.
As soon as Yang Wanqiu entered the black market, she rushed in as if afraid that someone else would get there first. Little did she know that such scarce commodities as coal and charcoal would not be sold on the street stalls inside.
Chen Shuning pulled back Wang Chunni, who was also trying to rush in. She was the last to pay and pretended to chat with the gatekeeper.
"Brother, could you tell me if you sell coal or charcoal around here?"
The gatekeeper was the same short man from earlier. After looking Chen Shuning up and down, he cautiously said, "We do have some, but there's less coal this year, so the price is a bit high. It's 2.3 yuan per hundred jin. If you think that's acceptable, I'll take you in."
Chen Shuning thought about it and realized that there must be at least 1,500 to 1,600 jin of coal in her woodshed. If we calculate it at 1,500 jin, it would cost more than 30 yuan. This amount of money might not seem like much to her now, but it was equivalent to her father's monthly salary.
However, He Chaoyang's comments about how much money she spent before they even established a relationship touched Chen Shuning.
While she was still immersed in her emotions, Gu Xinyi and the others had already struck up a conversation with the gatekeeper, discussing how much coal to buy.
Chen Shuning doesn't need too much; buying another 500 jin as a token gesture will be enough.
There were many of them. Gu Xinyi, Gao Hongyuan, and Tian Mi bought two thousand catties. Wang Chunni and Xu Laidi also bought one thousand catties together, plus Chen Shuning's five hundred catties.
That's quite a lot! The short man happily led his men to the courtyard where Hei Zi was.
Hei Zi has returned with his men and is currently arranging for people to put the fruit into the warehouse.
He was initially displeased to see the short man bring so many people in, but after hearing that they were there to buy coal, and in considerable quantities, he stopped saying anything.
They only allowed the short men to lead them to load the coal.
