Chapter 173 Apple

   Dusk.

  Xue Liangping, who had finished a day's work, followed the captain Zhou Tao and other old team members back to the building.

  In the building, the lights were dim, and the others had just woken up.

  Everyone walked through the aisles with towels, washbasins and toothbrush cups, yawning and saying "good morning" to each other.

  Although it is late, but for the people in the building, it is morning.

  Because for them, night is their working time, and most people sleep during the day.

   Among these people, there are not only adults, but also many middle and high school students, who also attend classes outside the building at night.

   For more than ten years, the world has become accustomed to a life of nocturnal existence.

  Boom!

  Zhou Tao returned the cargo box to its original position, the iron box collided with the wall and made a sound, and then patted Xue Liangping beside him.

   At this time, he had already taken out the apple he got during the day. Although the tender skin was already wrinkled, it didn't prevent him from staring at the apple in his hand with an expression of admiration for the gem.

   "Let's go, this thing can't be swallowed alone, it has to be divided with others."

"Uh-huh!"

  Xue Liangping with anticipation, holding an apple in both hands, followed Zhou Tao into the living area of ​​the building.

   "Why is there no water again?"

   "Who can lend me some shampoo?"

   "Erha, brush your teeth quickly, it's getting dark, we're going to school..."

   All the way through the corridor, I also passed the life of the residents in the building.

   Someone finally noticed the apple Xue Liangping was holding.

   "Ryohei, this is... an apple?!"

   Suddenly someone shouted, like a magnet, attracting all the eyes around him.

   In the dim aisle, everyone looked at the red apple in Xue Liangping's hand.

   Zhou Tao clapped his hands, smiled kindly, and took the initiative to say, "I'm lucky to go out today, we got an apple, let's all let our children come over and share a share."

   The surprised people did not call the child immediately, but continued to stare at the apple in Xue Liangping's hand in disbelief.

   "Isn't it the previous model?"

   "Now this time, where can there be such fresh apples?"

   "Are there apples growing in the agricultural building?"

   You keep saying one sentence and one sentence.

   Until Zhou Tao took a knife, he gently cut off a small piece of the surface of the apple, revealing the white and tender flesh, with a faint smell of fresh and sweet fruit.

   There was a sensation in the building.

  If you have children at home, go home and call your own children immediately.

   Those who had no children at home also followed the sensational voice and joined in to watch the fun.

   After a while, all the children in the building gathered in the cafeteria.

  Different from middle schools and universities, elementary and kindergarten classes are held during the day.

   These children had just finished class when they were called by their parents, and they formed a circle with the apple in Xue Liangping's hand as the center.

   Middle school students who were planning to go to school also stopped and surrounded these children.

   And the adults circled around the students again. Many people disliked the poor sight and even stood on the table for dinner.

   Everyone's eyes were extremely similar, and some people's tongues stirred unconsciously, as if the apple had been bitten by themselves and was tasting its deliciousness.

   In addition to wandering time and space, if people from other time and space are here, I am afraid it is difficult to understand the lively scene in front of me.

  Why just an apple can make these people so excited.

   "Ryohei, where did this apple in your hand come from?"

   "Yes, yes, is there any more?"

As soon as the    people gathered, someone immediately asked.

   This is what everyone is most concerned about.

   Xue Liangping didn't know how to answer, so he could only look at Captain Zhou Tao.

  This prudent middle-aged man thought of Zhang Tianyuan and that mysterious black team, and hesitated in his heart.

  Although I have the heart to share the joy with everyone, tell them that there are still many apples, and maybe everyone will be able to share them soon…

   But Zhou Tao finally gave up the idea.

   He knew that everything related to that young man, he had better not say a word now.

   So he simply said: "Today, this apple was obtained by accident. You don't need to ask about the specific process. It's legal anyway. Now let's divide the apple."

   Seeing Zhou Tao say this, everyone is also interested, and instead of asking further, the focus is on cutting apples.

  Everyone brought a plate, put the apple on it, and held the knife in Xue Liangping's hand.

  The scene fell silent instantly.

  Xue Liangping glanced at Zhou Tao, and with the encouragement of his eyes, he split the apple into two with a click.

   At the moment when the apple broke open, everyone around took a long breath subconsciously, as if they could smell the sweet smell that erupted.

  Xue Liangping followed the cutting method specially instructed by Zhou Tao and him during the work break during the day. He picked out the apple seeds and cut the pulp into small cubes, just like small beef granules, smaller than a fingernail.

   It was only after the half-slap-sized apple was broken down into small squares that Xue Liangping asked the children around him to reach out and fetch it.

   In the midst of laughter, dozens of children lined up, each of them only took a piece according to the rules, put it in his mouth and chewed slowly.

   The apples on the plate are dwindling at a rate visible to the naked eye.

After the    children are finished, the next is the middle school students outside.

  Everyone stared nervously, wanting to see if they had a chance to get a small piece too.

  Unfortunately, the apples on the plate were quickly divided.

   Seeing this, everyone sighed in unison.

In the silence, some people brought hot water unwillingly, poured it into a plate and stirred it. The knife that cut the apple was also stirred in the water, and the taste was dispersed in the water, and then distributed to everyone present. A little, it is convenient for everyone to imagine the taste of apples.

   Zhou Tao also gave Xue Liangping a cup of "apple water".

  This young man has just given out all the apples, and now he is lost.

  Xue Liangping took the water, said thank you, and put it in his mouth.

   The next second, he felt his lips touched something, looked into the water glass, and found that it was a red peel with a little white pulp on it.

Zhou Tao next to him smiled at him, then patted him on the shoulder: "Hurry up, what are you looking at?"

   After everyone had finished drinking the water, everyone focused on the few apple seeds that had just been put aside.

   Some women collected them, took them carefully into the building's small public vegetable garden, and planted them in plastic pots filled with soil.

   In other buildings, similar scenes are also happening.

   Everyone shares their apples with everyone in the same building.

   And like Xue Liangping and others, whether it is the juice leaking from the cut apples or the apple seeds that cannot be eaten, there is no waste at all.

   At the same time, among these buildings, the news that these apples came from some mysterious people quietly came out…

   There will be three more chapters tonight, and the Winter Olympics are opening today, it feels so fast
