Chen Lan couldn't sleep for a while, so she decided to do something to distract herself! She then prepared to organize her system warehouse. Using her mind, she opened the system warehouse and began to classify and store the frozen fish and provisions she had exchanged for during this period. She also separately stored the twenty-odd wolves and one large brown bear she had hunted!
She also sorted the tail-end samples sent by various manufacturers on another side, making them easy to access when needed. She also packed the ores exchanged with Madame into wooden chests and placed them separately on another side. These ores were her personal property. Thinking of this, Chen Lan couldn't help but laugh out loud, muttering softly to herself, "Hehe! These are all my treasures!" She absolutely had to keep them separate and well-organized!
After finishing organizing the system warehouse, Chen Lan still couldn't sleep. So she decided to use this time to prepare the goods she would need for exchanges tomorrow and in the future. Besides, she had to go with Xu Mingxuan tomorrow to Madame's farm to exchange the agreed-upon fifteen thousand jin of corn! She had to prepare the goods they wanted tonight! This way, she could directly exchange them when they arrived at the farm tomorrow, which would save time. Thus, she recalled the content of their conversation yesterday while preparing the items one by one.
Oh, right, tomorrow she also had to meet Chang Dàye's younger sister, Chang Sanmei. She wondered how Chang Sanmei's mother's negotiations with their farm had gone? She didn't know if they had reached an agreement yet. If they had, she would also need to prepare the goods for exchange in advance.
So Chen Lan browsed the system again with her mind, specifically looking for inventory remnants from reputable small commodity manufacturers. The system, being very user-friendly, recommended many high-quality manufacturers of small commodities and clothing based on Chen Lan's needs.
As expected of the system's recommended high-quality manufacturers, their efficiency was remarkable. Soon, many manufacturers sent her samples of their inventory remnants.
Chen Lan selected a few clothing samples from garment factories and inspected them carefully. The fabrics were of excellent quality, and the styles of the clothes were very good. She also checked the prices, which were indeed very low and offered great value for money.
In her previous life, her country was rightly praised as the world's factory, possessing the most extensive industrial manufacturing system and being the largest producer and exporter of small commodities globally.
People had so many channels to choose from, especially for clothing, which updated so rapidly. Once out of fashion, it became unsalable and would pile up in factory warehouses. If not dealt with promptly, it would tie up the manufacturers' capital, leading to cash flow problems. These high-quality clothes, sold in the Soviet Union of this era, could be considered high-end goods.
Thinking of this, Chen Lan felt energized, her heart filled with excitement. If she could win over that group of Andre's purchasing friends this time, as the old saying goes, it would be hard not to get rich!
Perhaps it was due to prolonged mental exertion or genuine fatigue, but Chen Lan, while diligently organizing with her mind, was happily dreaming of good fortune. Before she knew it, she drifted off to sleep in a daze.
The next morning, Chen Lan woke up laughing in her dream! She was wearing her cotton coat and still giggling foolishly, which left Xu Mingxuan utterly bewildered early in the morning. Her laughter made him even more confused!
Xu Mingxuan added dry branches to the bonfire and asked curiously, "Lan'er, what's wrong? Why are you laughing so much? Did you dream about our son and daughter?"
Chen Lan paused, then asked with surprise, "Mingxuan Ge, how did you know I dreamed about our daughter and sons?"
Xu Mingxuan didn't answer immediately. He slowly put down the dry branches he was holding, washed the large iron pot on the simple stove, poured clean water into it, and then lit the firewood in the stove.
Wiping the dust off his hands, he turned around with a smile and said, "Lan'er, you were talking in your sleep last night. Don't you remember?"
"Dreaming? Talking in my sleep? Mingxuan Ge, what did I say? I don't remember anything!" Chen Lan quickly asked curiously.
Xu Mingxuan still didn't answer, changing the subject with a smile, "Lan'er, hurry up! The water in the pot is hot. Go wash up quickly. After breakfast, we have a lot to do today!"
Chen Lan had no choice. Her curiosity was piqued, itching like a cat scratching! But since he wouldn't tell her, what could she do? She obediently fetched hot water from the pot to wash up, then skillfully made a mushroom and egg soup and steamed a batch of mixed flour buns in a steamer placed above the pot.
During the meal, Chen Lan still asked persistently, "Mingxuan Ge, stop keeping me in suspense. Tell me quickly, what did I say in my dream last night?"
Xu Mingxuan took a big bite of a mixed flour bun and said with a smile, "You said, 'They are all my treasures!' Isn't that referring to our son and daughter? Didn't you always say that to them when they were little?"
Chen Lan gave an awkward laugh and asked, "Mingxuan Ge, was that all? Didn't I say anything else?"
Xu Mingxuan took a sip of egg soup and retorted, "What's wrong, Lan'er? Did you say anything else besides that?"
Chen Lan was speechless, not knowing how to answer for a moment. So she awkwardly and hastily explained, "No, I don't remember very clearly either. It should be just that sentence! I do miss them. I've never been apart from them for so long. I also miss Grandma, my mother, Wen Kai and Wen Qi, as well as Ming Zhe, Ming Wei, Mama Liu, Uncle Fu, and Uncle De."
After breakfast, the couple tidied up briefly and set off. They soon arrived at the foot of the mountain and, as usual, patrolled the surroundings to ensure there were no anomalies.
Chen Lan opened the system warehouse with her mind and found that the old Jiefang truck was parked inside. Chen Lan excitedly used her mind to retrieve the old Jiefang truck from the system warehouse. With a sudden roar, the old Jiefang truck suddenly appeared before them, startling both Chen Lan and Xu Mingxuan.
Chen Lan was too excited and didn't control her strength well. Xu Mingxuan was startled by the sudden appearance of the behemoth.
After Xu Mingxuan got a clear look at the behemoth before him, he exclaimed excitedly, "Jiefang truck? Lan'er, it's really a Jiefang truck! You specifically asked Dad to buy it for us to load goods, didn't you?"
