The reason for doing this was precisely to drag others down with her.
Who would do something for you without any benefit? Of course, it's more fun to fish together!
After all, hoarding 30,000 tons of oil a month makes it too easy for others to cause trouble.
It's better to be careful.
With accommodation, travel, and energy issues resolved, An Nuan began to tackle the water problem.
After the great power outage in the apocalypse, the water plants stopped working.
Rivers and lakes could also be used initially.
But then mutated humans and zombies became more prevalent, with all sorts of unknown creatures spreading everywhere, coupled with occasional acid rain, the water in the lakes was not suitable for consumption.
Even zombies would have problems drinking it.
It wasn't until the sixth year of the apocalypse that someone restarted the water and power plants and invented new filtration methods, allowing people to drink water again.
But before the water plants resumed operation, many people died of thirst.
Filtered water was also not enough for everyone, and clean water became the third currency, besides salt and apples.
She even filtered her own urine to supplement her water intake due to lack of water.
Thinking of that taste…
Heavens, it was truly an overwhelming experience!
An Nuan never wanted to drink her own urine again, nor did she want to go 30 days without showering and become a walking scent diffuser.
This time, she was going to hoard one hundred million units of water!
Water was cheap, but containers were not.
An Nuan found a manufacturer and first ordered 10,000 water tanks, each capable of holding five tons of water. One ton of water was equivalent to 53 custom water barrels for water dispensers.
Each barrel had two faucets at the bottom, one large and one small.
The large one was for household supplies and water, and the small one was for drinking water, to minimize any waste of water resources.
It was convenient for both bathing and drinking.
An Nuan feared accidents, 550
"Even if we could afford it, there wouldn't be that much stock today. Five tuna? You're dreaming!"
An Nuan wasn't angry at all.
The quantity she wanted was indeed too large, and a normal person would find it strange.
"Boss, give me an account number."
The boss was convinced that An Nuan was either crazy or had too much time on her hands and was here to cause trouble.
He readily provided an account number, intending to see her make a fool of herself.
To his surprise…
"Ding, 1 million yuan has been deposited."
The boss was stunned, and An Nuan smiled.
"I know the order quantity is quite large and it might take some time to get it all, but you surely have channels. If you can do it, deliver it in batches to this address within 10 days, and I'll pay the remaining balance in person."
The address wasn't her home.
It was an old warehouse her parents used to use, which had been abandoned for a long time.
First, her house couldn't fit everything, and second, it would be too conspicuous. An Nuan thought it was better to be cautious for her own safety.
"I also need frozen seafood. Please record it on your phone."
"Bird clam meat, large clam meat, oyster meat, scallop dice, 100 catties each. Scallop meat, sea cucumber, clam meat, squid tentacles, fresh fish trimmings, fish maw, 200 catties each."
"Green roe, hairtail, sea cucumber skin, sea cucumber flesh… 3-head abalone, fish maw, 600 catties."
A deposit of 500,000 yuan was transferred to the seafood vendor's account.
Upon hearing the money arrive, no one in the market doubted her anymore.
The uncle smiled warmly and kindly.
"Don't worry, everyone in our market will work together to prepare everything you need within 10 days!"
"Money is not an issue, but quality is important."
"Rest assured! Business is built on integrity, especially for a super client like you! Brothers, come over here, let's divide the order!"
The uncle led his colleagues to distribute the order, while the helpers were left to load the goods for the dumbfounded buyers.
An Nuan also left the seafood pier and continued her shopping spree in the aquaculture section.
The seafood section was at the port, while the aquaculture section was inside the enclosed market.
An Nuan poked her head in and took a few breaths of air before re-entering.
The smell was too foul! But the goods were too delicious!
She rolled up her sleeves and rushed in: "Auntie, I want 100 of every type of fish, the ones with thick flesh. Don't forget the loaches and eels."
The fish-cutting auntie looked up at her with the same expression as the uncles earlier.
Two words were clearly written on their faces: "Crazy fool!"
An Nuan scanned the QR code on the wall. Not knowing the exact price, she first paid 50,000 yuan.
After the money arrived, the auntie looked at her even more strangely.
It was as if she was thinking: "What a sucker!"
An Nuan didn't care.
She had money, and she enjoyed spending it!
An Nuan also gave the auntie the delivery address, agreeing to have it delivered to the warehouse in five days.
After buying the seafood, daylight had broken.
An Nuan felt no fatigue; instead, she became more excited with every purchase.
She called a car to take her to the grain wholesale market.
At first, the bosses thought she was an individual buyer, and few paid her any attention.
When An Nuan took out her list and waved it in front of a few shop owners, they were dumbfounded.
"One thousand tons of rice and millet, five hundred tons of glutinous rice and corn, one hundred tons each of low-gluten, medium-gluten, and high-gluten flour."
"Cornmeal, sweet potato flour, sorghum flour, buckwheat flour, 3,000 catties each. Starch, meat tenderizer, 5,000 catties."
"Red beans, soybeans, mung beans, black beans, kidney beans, adzuki beans, 300 boxes of each."
"Round noodles, egg noodles, alkali noodles, hand-pulled noodles, Longkou vermicelli, 200 boxes of each."
The owners of several shops looked at her as if she were an idiot.
An Nuan cut to the chase and asked for the account number of a large shop owner, transferring 800,000 yuan as a deposit.
The boss was a bit confused: "Girl, what do you need so much for? You can't eat it all in a lifetime!"
"Our group needs to help the country support our little African brother, and we require a large batch of supplies. It will be delivered to this address in three days, and you'll receive the remaining payment."
