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

Seeing Mr. Pei take the initiative to greet her, Shi Lidie smiled and bowed:

"It's all thanks to Mr. Pei that I have the opportunity to do business. I'm also grateful to General Lei for his appreciation, which has given me a big customer base like Tianshuying."

Mr. Pei laughed when he heard this, but General Lei asked curiously:

"Master Pei knew Boss Shi before?"

"Of course I know her. I was the one who gave her the capital to open the pub." Mr. Pei said.

He did not say it was a reward, but deliberately said that he gave the principal, thus giving people a misleading impression:

Shi Lidie's tavern has a close relationship with Mr. Pei, so maybe Mr. Pei is supporting it from behind.

In this way, if there are those who are so foolish as to want to provoke Shi Lidie, they will have to consider whether they have the ability to compete with the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion in the capital.

When General Lei heard this, he immediately said:

"I was short-sighted and underestimated Boss Shi. Next time when I want to send you wine, you don't have to bother Boss Shi to come over in person. I'll call a few brothers to go to your tavern to pick it up."

Look, that's the difference.

Before she had Mr. Pei's connections, Shi Lidie personally delivered wine to Tianshu Camp. She had no travel expenses and paid for the favors herself.

But she never complained about anything. After all, she also wanted to make friends with the Tianshu Camp.

Now that Mr. Pei was holding the fort for her, she didn't even have to run errands. She could just sit quietly in the tavern and earn the money from Tianshu Camp.

Shi Lidie did not shy away, knowing that such an important figure would not go back on his word since he had spoken in front of everyone.

So she just bowed and thanked them. After all, she was just a low-level merchant and she had to do whatever others told her to do.

"Okay, you go ahead and do your work first." Mr. Pei waved at Shi Lidie, "After I finish my official duties, I'll go to Chen's house to drink the good wine you brewed."

After saying this, he walked away with General Lei and several of his subordinates.

Shi Lidie quickly asked her helpers to carry the wine to the tent in the kitchen where wine was stored. She then classified the wine according to different flavors and placed them neatly in jars.

Just as she was directing people to do something, she heard a sighing sound coming from the door.

It was two army cooks talking—

"General Lei is too embarrassing."

"It's not General Lei who's making things difficult for us. It's the new Lord Pei who's giving us a hard time."

"We have been stationed in the south with the Tianshu Camp for many years and have never been to the North. How can we know how cold it is in the North? Naturally, the marching rations we make will not meet his requirements."

"Yes, the requirements are so high. It needs to be durable, not easy to rot in hot weather, not easy to harden in cold weather, and easy to operate. It must allow the soldiers to eat quickly while marching. Who can do this?"

……

The two chefs were talking to each other, complaining quietly.

They didn't dare to say anything bad about Mr. Pei and General Lei in front of too many people, so they just hid and said a few words secretly. But they didn't expect that there was someone in the wine storage tent where no one usually came.

Their conversation was also overheard by Shi Lidie.

Shi Lidie had just finished counting the number of wine jars. She asked her helpers to carry back the empty jars from the previous batch. Then she walked out of the tent and headed towards the two cooks.

"Two brothers, were you talking about the military rations just now?" Shi Lidie asked.

When the two cooks heard this, their faces changed immediately. They recognized her and hurriedly said flatteringly:

"Boss Shi, we didn't mean to disrespect General Lei and Mr. Pei. We just said a few words casually. Please be magnanimous and don't tell them."

Shi Lidie smiled and said:

"I'm not such a petty person. When you work for someone, there will always be some unhappy times. I just heard a few gossips. Why should I make it so difficult for you?"

In fact, as long as you put yourself in the shoes of social animals and working people, you will be able to empathize with them.

After all, didn’t the worker complain about his stupid boss and stupid client behind their backs?

The two cooks hurriedly thanked them, but were interrupted by Shi Lidie, who said:

"I just heard you two talking about marching rations. They need to be easy to store and not easy to become rigid. They are mainly supplied to soldiers in the northern border. Although I have never been to the northern border, I have an idea. I wonder if you two are willing to try it?"

One of the chefs was surprised:

"Boss Shi, are you serious?"

"Of course it's true, but I don't know if it will work. But it's worth a try anyway."

"If you fail, just think of it as learning a new dish. If you succeed, then we will have food for the march to the North, right?"

When the two cooks heard this, they immediately thought it made sense, so they agreed:

"Please wait a moment, Mr. Shi. I will go and ask Mr. Pei and General Lei for permission. If they agree, we can proceed with the experiment according to your method."

After saying this, the two men went about their work separately.

One went to report to his superiors, and the other took Shi Lidie into the camp's kitchen.

The Tianshu Camp is stationed here all year round, and the kitchen is more complete than that of other military camps. There are several tents, some for cooking, some for frying, and some for stewing soup, and the division of labor is very detailed.

Shi Lidie asked the chef to take her to the place where noodles were made.

She felt that it was time to use her instant noodle magic.

In addition to "soap, glass, and gunpowder", another essential golden finger for time travel is instant noodles.

Thanks to the highly developed Internet in modern society, no matter what you want to learn, you can search it online. When she was in college in her previous life, she saw no less than ten food bloggers making instant noodles.

Some people even mentioned that after traveling through time, they could rely on this skill to make a living in ancient times.

Shi Lidie didn’t know whether other people had traveled through time or not, but she had, and was now using these skills.

Back when she was still struggling to survive in the cowshed of Tong'an Village, she had thought about starting an instant noodle business in the future. This was much more delicious than the cold and hard dry food biscuits in ancient times, and there would definitely be a huge market for it.

But then she thought again, this thing is very easy to copy and imitate. If she rashly takes out this business without having a firm foothold, she might be suppressed by others soon.

Therefore, after careful consideration, she decided to take advantage of the loophole in the original work and chose to make wine.

But unexpectedly, after so much time and twists and turns, instant noodles would finally be created by her hands.

Soon, Mr. Pei, General Lei and several deputies arrived.

As soon as he came in, Mr. Pei couldn't wait to ask:

"Friend Shi, I heard from the people below that you have a way to solve the problem of military rations? If this is true, then I will record your great merit. I will report to His Majesty later when I return to the capital and commend you."

At this moment, Mr. Pei no longer cared about hiding his identity.

His words showed that his background was extraordinary and he could even meet His Majesty directly.

Shi Lidie had read the original work carefully and knew this long ago, so she didn't think there was anything wrong with it. But in the eyes of others, she was "calm and composed in the face of danger" and did not lose her composure because of Mr. Pei's identity and background.

For a moment, everyone present had a higher opinion of her.

I only heard Shi Lidie say:

"Mr. Pei, I can't guarantee success, but I am willing to try my best for the soldiers of the Northern Territory."
