The cannon fodder female supporting role is busy in the book, and she gets mad when she disagrees wi

After listening to Shi Lidie's explanation, Ah Feng suddenly understood.

But it still has problems:

[How do you know that Chen Shuting is coming? ]

[The original plot only states that before Chen Shuting got married, she lived in her uncle's house in the countryside for a while while he was recuperating, but it does not say when she came.]

Shi Lidie was rarely patient with Ah Feng and said:

"Shi Tou came over to place an order just now, and specifically requested thirty jars of green citrus wine suitable for girls, but Master Chen doesn't have any young women in his family."

"In the Chen Mansion in Luoyun Town, there are only him and his wife. He has only two sons and no daughters. Moreover, his sons are all in the capital. So who is this green orange wine prepared for?"

No one else except Chen Shuting.

The daughter of the Minister of Rites came all the way from the capital to live in this small place called Luoyun Town. She definitely did not come alone.

She was accompanied by maids and old women who served her personally, as well as servants and guards who protected her all the way.

The total number of these people must be at least dozens.

Mr. Chen ordered so much wine, probably some of it for them to drink and some to take to the capital when they leave.

After all, Shi Lidie’s wine is not available in Beijing.

It's great to bring it back whether as a gift or for a banquet.

Afeng and Aya both gave thumbs up to Shi Lidie.

They have never seen any host, but are so familiar with the original plot that they can string together a whole storyline with just a few separate descriptions.

The Chen family's offering of wine has fully proved that she is right.

So, in the following time, Shi Lidie became busy preparing to welcome Chen Shuting.

She asked the Lu couple to speed up their practice, while she herself spent all her time on the winemaking business.

Glutinous rice wine, barley wine, sorghum wine, and green orange wine.

The first three are all grains. The raw materials are easy to buy. There are many grain stores in the town, so it is not difficult to purchase in large quantities. There is just a difference between new grain and old grain.

But for winemaking, new grain and old grain are the same, there is no difference.

But the green tangerine...

Green tangerines are seasonal fruits and are not easy to preserve. They will be gone after the season is over. Moreover, if you want to make wine, you need fresh fruits that have just been picked from the tree, as they will taste better.

Now is the season when green tangerines are ripe, and some shops in the town have already started selling them.

However, the quantity sold is very small.

It may be enough for daily consumption, but it is far from enough to brew thirty jars of wine.

Therefore, Shi Lidie had to find a way to purchase large quantities of green oranges.

So, Shi Lidie first bought enough glutinous rice, barley and sorghum to make distiller's yeast. While they were fermenting, she hired an ox cart and went to Tong'an Village.

If she remembered correctly, the villagers of Tongan Village planted a lot of green oranges.

Although she has a grudge against the villagers of Tongan Village, she currently does not know anyone from other villages. In order to save herself trouble, it is not impossible for her to do business with Tongan Village.

Just like before, after returning to the village, she went to see the village chief first.

When she entered the yard of the village chief's house, she saw an eight-year-old boy practicing walking in the yard with a cane, while his mother was beside him.

"Shi...Xiaodie!" The tiger-headed mother saw her, stood up and greeted her, then turned around and shouted into the house, "Dad, husband, Xiaodie is here!"

Upon hearing this, the village chief and his son ran out together, which shows how much they value Shi Lidie.

"Sister Xiaodie!" The little tigers also came over.

He limped to Shi Lidie, stretched out his hand and pulled her sleeve:

"My dad and grandpa said that it was Sister Xiaodie who gave me this magical pill that made me stop feeling pain after taking it. Sister Xiaodie is really amazing!"

"The last time you gave me the pills, I was lying in bed and unable to get up. Now I can walk on my own."

"Sister Xiaodie, you are my benefactor, please accept my greeting."

The little tiger leaned on his crutches with his armpits, clasped his hands together, and leaned his body to barely perform a bow.

Shi Lidie was afraid that he would fall again because he didn't stand firmly, so she quickly supported him:

"I gave you the pills because your father and grandfather worked hard to get them, so you don't have to be polite to me."

The village chief saw his grandson thank him, then asked Shi Lidie:

"Is there anything you need us to do this time?"

There are still a few pills of medicine for Xiaohutou. Even if there are really no more, Shi Lidie doesn't need to make a trip in person to deliver the medicine. She must have other things to do.

Speaking of serious matters, Shi Lidie said seriously:

"Village Chief, how many green tangerines did the village produce this year? Have they all been sold?"

"The yield is not that high." Speaking of this, the village chief was a little worried. "There was a lot of rain this year, which had a great impact on the growth of green oranges. The yield is 30% lower than in previous years."

Logically speaking, if the output is low, the price should increase, after all, supply cannot meet demand.

But this year is special. There has been too much rain, causing many insects to grow on the tangerines. Many insects also crawled on the tangerines, causing the quality of the tangerines to be poor.

Green tangerines of poor quality, not to mention having a low price, have no fruit merchants willing to buy them because they cannot be sold.

So now, each household can only pick some fruits that are barely acceptable from the trees and take them to the town to sell retail, but they can't make much money.

At this point, the village chief sighed:

"This year is difficult. We can't sell green tangerines, and everyone has lost a lot of income. If the second half of the year is not good again, I'm afraid it will be another difficult year."

Shi Lidie listened to the village chief's complaints and understood the basic situation before she spoke:

"If the green tangerines in the village can't be sold, then sell them to me."

"You want to buy?" The village chief's son raised his head suddenly and said, "Sister Xiaodie, although you are making money now, you don't have to do this for the village. Those green oranges can't be sold anyway."

Shi Lidie found it a little funny.

The village chief's son called her Sister Xiaodie, but the little tiger head called her Sister Xiaodie.

This father and son are really interesting. They have become peers without realizing it.

However, this chaotic thought only flashed by, and Shi Lidie explained:

"I'm not being nice. I bought the green tangerines for a purpose. I use them to make wine."

"To make wine, you need the juice of green tangerines. I don't care whether it looks good or not, as long as it tastes good."

When the village chief heard this, his eyes lit up immediately:

“It tastes good!”

"The green tangerines from Tongan Village are always delicious. In a good year, fruit merchants will scramble for them."

"Xiaodie, if you can really buy these green oranges, you will be the reborn parent of Tongan Village."

Shi Lidie quickly crossed her hands and said,

"No, I don't have so many children of this age. We are just doing business, and everything should be done according to the rules."

"Your green tangerines are not selling well and the quality is not good. I will buy them, but the price must be 30% lower than in previous years. How about that?"

In this way, the villagers can make some money, even if it's not much. But it's much better than not being able to sell the fruit and letting it rot on the trees.

Shi Lidie can also save some money. After all, when doing business, the lower the cost, the better.

How could the village chief not agree?

In his opinion, if the green oranges rotted on the trees and couldn't be sold, it would be a pure loss, but if Shi Lidie was willing to buy them, it would be a huge profit. He would still do the math.

"Okay, I'll go tell the villagers right away." The village chief said, and was about to go outside.
