When he arrived at the courtyard, Gu Huai had already brewed tea and was waiting. He was stunned for a couple of seconds when he saw Wen Li's attire. Although her clothes had changed, her figure could not be altered, so he could still tell at a glance that this was Comrade Zhang Cuihua.
"Why did Comrade Zhang change his outfit today?"
Wen Li rolled her eyes. "I was followed when I left last time!"
Gu Huai's relaxed expression vanished. He handed the teacup to Wen Li, saying, "I'll find out who that person is!"
Then, Scarface and another man quietly left the yard.
"Okay, thank you for this! Oh, by the way, I brought some fruit with me this time." Wen Li said, taking out watermelons and grapes from her basket. "Would you like some?"
Gu Huai didn't even need to taste them; just by looking at the grapes and watermelon, he knew they were good stuff, and his face practically lit up with a smile.
He gestured for his third brother to fetch a knife, and Gu Huai quickly cut the watermelon into pieces. He took a bite first and exclaimed, "So sweet! Is this a new variety?"
Wen Li chuckled awkwardly, "I'm just a deliveryman, how would I know what varieties they are?"
"That's true!" Gu Huai seemed to suddenly remember something. "I'll take them all. How many do you have?"
"I've put them all in the yard. The watermelons weigh about 500 jin and the grapes weigh about 200 jin."
She said it weighed 500 jin, but it was actually only about 40 jin. The main reason was that the watermelons were too big, each weighing more than 10 jin, so she didn't take out too many.
"The supply and marketing cooperative sells watermelons for three cents a pound, no coupons required. I can only offer you three cents and fifty cents a pound; the price is too high and they won't sell well. Grapes are two cents and fifty cents a pound!"
Fruits are generally expensive nowadays, mainly because transportation is inconvenient and the taste isn't very good. So not many people can afford to buy fruit. Without some channels, fruit is really hard to sell, since the price is almost as high as rice.
People are still at a stage where they can barely afford to eat, and fruit is a luxury that ordinary people can only afford to buy during holidays.
"Okay, if it doesn't sell well, I won't buy fruit next time!"
Wen Li was well aware of this. Her space could preserve the fruit, so it wouldn't spoil. Putting it in her space would only take up some space. If she really couldn't sell it, she could simply put it in her space and sell it slowly.
"Take it! I have a market, I'm not worried about selling it. Next time you have other fruits, bring them all, I'll buy them all!"
"No problem. By the way, can you get strawberry seeds, longan trees, and mango trees here?"
These are all fruits that Wen Li likes to eat. She asked many people, but none of them said they had them, so it was more reliable to ask Gu Huai.
Gu Huai didn't understand why Wen Li wanted these things. His principle was to mind his own business. After thinking for a while, he agreed, "These are all fruits from the south. If you want them, I'll ask the transport team to help bring some back!"
Wen Li knew that asking Gu Huai would be useful. "That's great! We don't need too many, you can bring back different kinds. You can pay for it first, and I'll pay you back later!"
"Okay, you took the fruit this time, so that covers the antiques from last time. Next time you deliver more goods, I'll charge you then!"
"Okay, I'll take the money next time, but I'll still buy any antique paintings and calligraphy in good condition!"
"Okay, I understand. Next time, let's change the delivery time. I'll come every Friday!"
"Alright, I'll handle those people. If you're worried, I'll have Scarface escort you out of the city!"
"No need, those people are no match for me!"
Seeing that Wen Li wouldn't agree, Gu Huai didn't press the issue. "Then be careful. If you encounter any problems you can't solve, you can come to me!"
"good!"
After leaving Gu Huai's courtyard, Wen Li went to the black market again. She was lucky today and happened to find someone selling wild goats. Wen Li bought ten catties of goat meat and left the black market.
She currently has enough food and drink in her storage space, and at most she only needs to buy some daily necessities, so her expenses are very low.
After leaving the black market and making sure no one was following her, Wen Li changed her clothes and rode her bicycle back to the village.
She took out two watermelons and some grapes. When Chen Yan and the others returned, she cut one half for her and gave the other half to Su Hao and the others.
Su Hao took the watermelon back, and it was quickly snatched up by Deng Wei and Xu Yuan. He hadn't had enough, so he shamelessly came over to find Wen Li.
"Wen, did you buy this watermelon from the supply and marketing cooperative? I'd like to eat more. If they still have any, I'll go buy two more!"
"No, I bought it there!"
"You went to that place?" Su Hao was shocked. Wen Li's courage had repeatedly exceeded his expectations.
"Okay! I'll bring you two back next time I see them!"
Su Hao waved his hands repeatedly in refusal, "No need, the watermelon is so heavy, it's hard for you to carry it. I'll go check it myself next time!"
Chen Yan felt the melon in her hand had lost its sweetness. "Xiao Li, you're too bold. Be careful next time, what if you get caught..."
"Don't worry, you know how good I am!"
A short while later, Lu Zechuan also returned carrying a watermelon.
Wen Li glanced at it and confirmed that it was indeed produced by her space!
Su Hao was surprised by the unexpected gift and quickly took the watermelon from Lu Zechuan's hand, grinning foolishly, "Lu Zhiqing, you bought a watermelon too!"
"also?"
"Yes, Wen, the educated youth, also bought a watermelon today, and even shared half with us!"
"What about mine?" Lu Zechuan stared intently at Su Hao.
"Didn't you say you don't like fruit? That's why we didn't save any for you!"
Lu Zechuan's face darkened upon hearing this, and he gritted his teeth, looking as if he wanted to kick Su Hao twice.
Su Hao felt a chill run down his spine, unable to figure out what he had done to offend him.
Lu Zechuan kicked Su Hao out directly, feeling extremely depressed. He originally wanted to buy something for Wen Li, but she was quite capable. He had gone to great lengths and pulled strings to buy one thing, but she bought two!
I don't know where she got this information from.
He always felt like he had energy but nowhere to use it.
Wenli:......
Finally, he silently cut the watermelon open, took out the sweetest part in the middle and put it on a plate, and then knocked on Wen Li's door.
As soon as Wen Li opened the door, she saw Lu Zechuan standing there. "Lu Zhiqing, is something the matter?"
Lu Zechuan coughed lightly to cover his embarrassment. "I just bought a watermelon, but it's too big for me to finish. I brought some over for you!"
Seeing the neatly arranged, uniformly sized watermelons on the plate, Wen Li smiled and waved her hand, "No need, I bought some myself, you can keep them for yourself!"
"It weighs over ten kilograms, I can't finish it all. Watermelons don't keep well, you can save yours for tomorrow!"
Seeing that he had already gone this far, Wen Li didn't refuse anymore and accepted the watermelon, saying, "Thank you!"
"Um!"
Inside Lu Zechuan's house.
Su Hao looked at the watermelon, which had been cut into a mess and whose very center was gone, with a puzzled expression.
"Brother, where's the very center of this watermelon? You didn't steal a bite, did you?"
Lu Zechuan glanced at him. "Eat or not? If not, I'll feed it to the dogs!"
Su Hao had always been afraid of Lu Zechuan, so he quickly grabbed the last bits of watermelon and ran outside, shouting, "No, no, no, I don't mind! I love eating it!"
