Chapter 352: Letting Sun Jun Buy Things
It is said that the person who collects seafood didn't come today, so everyone isn't selling their catch today; these are hard to deal with, so now that someone wants them, how could they not be happy?
An Yinan walked to the front of the warehouse and opened the warehouse door.
She waited for the fishermen to arrive.
The old man called out to everyone, but they were a bit skeptical; yet even if they were skeptical, they wanted to give it a try, after all, having them rot in their hands wouldn't do.
"Comrade, are you really buying?" asked an older woman holding a basin.
An Yinan nodded, "Buying."
"Everyone come quickly, this little comrade is really buying!" The older woman hurriedly turned back and shouted loudly, which left Nan Nan stunned.
"I've called everyone over, and we've discussed it; we won't charge you dearly for these, but we'll just give you the dried goods as a gift." That old man had already discussed it with the others.
In fact, the things that can be sun-dried are just some small fish and shrimp; these aren't worth much, and no one buys them, so they just didn't want to waste them.
They had dried them before; if there were many, they would go release them back into the sea, and if there were few, they were too lazy to make the trip, so they would just clean them and dry them into jerky for their own families to eat.
An Yinan was already very satisfied with the price, but since the old man had negotiated for her, she naturally wouldn't be foolish enough to insist on paying him.
There was a scale on the side, so they weighed them family by family; An Yinan recorded them directly in her notebook, and they also had someone on their side keeping records. After weighing each family's, An Yinan settled the payment for that family.
These fishermen would also help carry the goods into the warehouse and store them well.
Family after family, they were just halfway through.
Those fishermen had already brought the dried goods, and they were all packed in cloth bags; no family was being polite, they just brought as much as they had.
An Yinan saw so much and whispered to the old man, "Old man, how about I pay for them anyway?"
It was mainly because there was really a lot; although dried goods don't weigh much, the quantity was high.
The old man laughed upon hearing this, "You little comrade, you're not very good at calculating!"
"You've already helped everyone by buying these today; these are everyone's good intentions, no one said how much to give, so you just accept them."
"Besides, they are cheap things, and no one buys them; we've already eaten enough ourselves," the old man said to her.
An Yinan nodded, "Alright then, I'll accept them."
But she also thought to herself that later, when she opened the Food Factory, her first source of goods would be here.
The fishermen here gave her such a good feeling.
And these simple, honest fishermen would never know that because of today's kind deed, their descendants would benefit.
An Yinan collected all of these, and the money was settled in full on the spot.
Everyone's dried goods were also delivered; in fact, although they were gifts, everyone didn't keep much. For one, they had eaten enough of them, and for another, as people who grew up by the sea, they saw these things every day and didn't consider them anything special.
After these people left, An Yinan put everything into her space.
Afterwards, she locked the door, then went for a stroll outside, and only then went to return the warehouse.
"Did you go to the seaside?" As soon as she entered the First Courtyard, the sister-in-law asked.
An Yinan was a bit surprised, "Sister-in-law, how did you know?"
The sister-in-law laughed heartily, "Smell the scent on your body, it's all fishy; hurry and fetch a kettle of water to go up and wash."
Only then did An Yinan lift her sleeve to smell it, "Sister-in-law, I won't talk anymore, I'm going to wash."
Seafood is good, but this fishy smell is truly unbearable!
She went straight back to her space, and even threw her clothes into the washing machine, immediately starting to wash them.
Washing machine? An Yinan was suddenly stunned.
She had been saying she felt like she had forgotten something—household appliances!
She took a quick "combat shower," then changed into some dowdy clothes, and only then went out.
"Going out again?" The sister-in-law saw her attire and didn't quite understand; she had such nice clothes she wasn't wearing, so what was she wearing these past few days?
Ever since Chen Xun started training, she had changed her style of dress.
It was mainly because she didn't want to be too eye-catching; after all, it's better to avoid trouble than to invite it.
"Going out for something; sister-in-law, if Chen Xun comes back, help me tell him," An Yinan shouted quickly, then ran off.
"Hey, what's the rush? In such a hurry!" The sister-in-law couldn't stop her.
An Yinan also hadn't expected that just the day before she had been teasing Chen Xun for riding his bicycle like a "wind-fire wheel," and yet today she had slapped her own face.
Today she had ridden over in less than half an hour.
"Factory Manager, why did you come over at this time?" Sun Jun was extremely surprised to see An Yinan.
An Yinan caught her breath, and only then spoke.
"Kang Jian might come over in the next two days; I've left the shop for him to look after," An Yinan said.
They would be in frequent contact in the future, so naturally, she had to introduce them now to avoid any misunderstandings.
"Alright, I've got it," Sun Jun continued to wait for An Yinan's follow-up.
After all, for the Factory Manager to rush over so late, it certainly wasn't just for this one thing; it wasn't to say this was a small matter, but rather that this matter wasn't urgent.
When couldn't it be said?
"Did you buy the sewing machines I asked you to?" An Yinan asked.
Two days ago, she had asked Sun Jun to buy thirty sewing machines directly; the workshop in Beijing shouldn't be closed down for a short time, as there was always a need for emergencies and modifications, and most importantly, to prevent the blueprints from leaking.
But with the increase in shops, the workshop had to increase machines and manpower; for now, she was just preparing in advance, after all, she didn't know when she would run to Yangcheng next!
"Ordered; they should be able to be picked up tomorrow. I was planning to send them to the warehouse," Sun Jun replied.
An Yinan said, "Is there a way to get washing machines, televisions, and things like that?"
Sun Jun thought for a moment, "Factory Manager, these aren't cheap, and they aren't available through official channels."
If you want them, you can only take special paths.
And as for these special paths, he didn't know if the Factory Manager could handle them.
He also stated it clearly in advance.
An Yinan thought for a moment, "First, get five washing machines and five televisions. The price is no problem. If possible, have them delivered to the warehouse together."
These things were not cheap, but if she had a washing machine, she could wash clothes openly in the future, without having to be sneaky all day long as if she were a thief.
"Alright, I will go to the seaside today to ask," Sun Jun said.
"You must pay attention to safety," An Yinan instructed.
"Rest assured, I am familiar with this area and have acquaintances here; otherwise, I wouldn't be able to get on the boat," Sun Jun replied with a smile.
An Yinan did not inquire in detail; after all, these were his personal connections, and it would not be appropriate for her to ask too much.
She had come in a hurry and left in a hurry.
The main reason was that she was afraid Chen Xun would worry.
From a distance, An Yinan found a secluded spot and put her bicycle into her space.
She then ran back.
Just as she arrived at the entrance, she saw a tall and imposing figure standing by the door of the Guest House.
"Why aren't you waiting for me in the room?" An Yinan ran over.
Hearing the familiar footsteps, Chen Xun had already turned his head to look, and after hearing An Yinan's words, he wiped the sweat from her forehead.
