Chapter 47: Experiencing Drones - One Idea
During the Republic of China era, even journalists with low incomes could earn twenty or thirty silver dollars a month, enough to support their families.
Being able to eat meat once a month makes life much better than that of ordinary people at the bottom of society.
Those well-known journalists in the industry could earn three or four hundred silver dollars a month.
Lin Wan has little experience, but his background and education are there, and he earns a salary of one hundred silver dollars a month.
This income was considered high income in 38.
Using one's own salary to buy gifts during the Republic of China era and bring them over is a private matter, as long as it doesn't involve the organization's funds.
There's a give and take, so there's no question of who takes advantage of whom, and I don't feel guilty.
Chen Huai'an was stunned for a moment, then his eyes lit up.
"yes!
I almost overlooked this issue if you hadn't brought it up.
Every time you come here, there's plenty of space in the treasure chest, so don't waste it.
Next time you come, you can bring some chicken or duck, or some seasonal vegetables.
We have abundant resources here, and the production of chickens, ducks, and vegetables is also very high, but it always lacks a natural flavor.
Nowadays, wealthy people eat organic vegetables, and some even grow their own vegetables in their yards for better health.
Before, I couldn't afford to be healthy, but now that I have the treasure chest, I can give it a try.
We brought some naturally raised chickens and ducks from the Republic of China era, and vegetables free of pesticide residues.
We've had enough of chicken in suits, let's eat some real, all-natural, green food!
"We can bring over wild pheasants and river fish too, and we can secretly eat them at home!"
Nowadays, many products on the market boast about being all-natural and residue-free, but how much of that is true or false is hard to say.
Many businesses like to play word games; "all-natural" may not actually mean it's all-naturally grown, but rather a brand name.
However, what was brought over in 38 was truly pure, natural, and residue-free.
It may not taste as good as modern versions that have undergone numerous improvements and are treated with chemicals, but it is definitely healthier.
"Chicken, duck, and vegetables?"
Lin Wan blinked her big eyes, her face showing confusion.
They couldn't understand why supermarkets and farmers' markets were filled with fresh and attractive vegetables, and chicken, duck, fish and meat were sold freshly killed.
They all look so fresh, so why do you seem a little dissatisfied?
Pheasants and river fish are easy to find; people often sell pheasants and other wild game they've caught in the market.
These things are really nothing compared to a reporter's high salary.
In modern times, it would definitely be very expensive and hard to buy, but in 38, it was not a problem at all.
All you need to do is order from the market, and there are plenty of people willing to go to the outskirts to catch them.
Even in areas like Qingpu, Songjiang, Jiading, and Baoshan, which are still mostly woodlands, swamps, and wastelands, you can still catch wild boars!
In those difficult times, people were willing to do anything as long as they could make money.
As long as the price is right, there's no problem transporting wild boars, pangolins, and the like from Suzhou to Shanghai!
Lin Wan couldn't understand why modern people would choose to eat coarse grains instead of fragrant rice.
Instead of eating fresh and attractive vegetables, they insisted on bringing back seasonal vegetables from the Republic of China era that looked much worse in appearance.
However, since Chen Huai'an made a request, it was natural to fulfill it.
With her high salary, the meat, vegetables, and eggs she needs for living are not a problem.
Consider it as her taking care of grocery shopping and cooking, which is used to offset the cost of the clothes and shoes she delivers.
Having a way to repay the debt with my own ability has lightened my psychological burden considerably.
Chen Huai'an originally planned to buy several more outfits at the brand store.
Lin Wan declined, only buying one set to make a show of it.
She couldn't bear to buy any more.
The two crossed the road and arrived in front of a tall building.
Chen Huai'an pressed the elevator button and went directly to the fourth floor.
Ding.
As the elevator doors opened, a woman in overalls greeted them.
"Welcome! Are you two here to experience the drone?"
Chen Huai'an nodded and gave out the appointment number.
After verifying their identities, the staff led them to another spacious area.
Lin Wan blinked her confused eyes, her mind quickly analyzing the meaning of the words.
She understood that "no one" meant "no one is needed".
"机" should be a kind of machine, right?
Put together, it should mean a type of unmanned machine?
But they don't work in factories, so why would they want to experience unmanned machines?
Lin Wan followed behind, stunned for a moment, her curious eyes looking around.
Through the floor-to-ceiling windows, you can see several people standing together inside, each holding a small plastic box.
I also saw many people wearing a box over their eyes and holding the same thing in their hands.
She blinked her big, confused eyes, her pretty face full of bewilderment.
It wasn't until Chen Huai'an pointed to something floating on the other side that she realized he was controlling something that looked like a helicopter.
However, the thing floating in the sky was square, with several propellers, and its appearance was completely different from any helicopter she knew.
To her, it felt more like a toy.
Judging from how others were holding the remote control and having a great time, it was a toy that could be remotely controlled to fly!
After entering a private space, the two were guided by staff to a long table.
Several drones were placed on it.
"She's unfamiliar with drones, could you please explain them to her in detail?" Chen Huai'an instructed the saleswoman, then whispered a reminder: "Study hard, it'll be very useful in the future!"
"Mmm." Lin Wan nodded hesitantly, but her eyes showed confusion.
I don't understand what great use a small toy can have in the future.
"Okay," the staff member readily agreed.
Explaining performance operation to customers is her job.
It must be said that the marketing personnel trained by the company are absolutely proficient in professional knowledge.
Not only did they explain how to operate it clearly, but they also talked about the origin of drones.
Following instructions, Lin Wan picked up the remote control and began operating the drone.
The screen on the remote control also transmitted the camera's image back in real time.
Since it was their first time using the drone, when it took off, it made a cheerful, bell-like laugh, just like a child seeing their favorite toy.
When I first started controlling it, I couldn't control the force well, and the range and speed of movement were too fast.
However, after flying around a few times, I gradually got used to it.
It can even be controlled without the naked eye, relying solely on the real-time images transmitted by the front camera, without crashing into walls.
The two spent two hours at the experience center before leaving with smiles on their faces.
Before leaving, Chen Huai'an accepted the business card handed to him by the female saleswoman.
The two chatted and laughed, happily discussing the fun of operating the drone.
It was already past five o'clock, so Chen Huai'an decided to buy some vegetables at the nearby market.
When the two of them came out of the market with bags and bags full of vegetables and meat.
I bought enough vegetables for two days while they were cheap in the afternoon!
Lin Wan has good eyesight and saw the sign across the street from afar that read "Clearance Sale" and "50 Yuan a Piece".
This price is exactly what she wanted.
This way, we not only have clothes to wear in this era, but we also save money for the organization.
However, after buying three sets of discounted clothes, the two of them were already covered in pockets.
Chen Huai'an frowned and said, "The bus stop back to the rented apartment is a bit far, and it's hard to call a taxi during rush hour."
Lin Wan raised a delicate eyebrow and smiled, "I have an idea!"
