The aunt took the small bar of soap and walked away half-believing and half-doubting.

Shen Qiqi was not in a hurry and continued to enthusiastically invite other passers-by to try it out.

After a while, people took the small soap bars one after another and left with curiosity and confusion.

The crowd dispersed, and Shen Qiqi propped up her chin, looking into the distance, feeling a little uneasy.

I don’t know if this free trial trick will work.

Just when she was about to lose her patience, a familiar figure came running back in a hurry. It was the aunt from before.

"Oh, little sister, your soap is really good!" The aunt said excitedly, holding the remaining half of a small bar of soap in her hand. "My hands are so smooth after washing, and they smell so good! Come on, give me two big bars!"

Shen Qiqi instantly felt like she was resurrected to her full potential, and the corners of her mouth were almost stretched to the back of her ears.

She swiftly handed the two bars of handmade soap to the aunt, took the money, and was delighted.

"Really? It's so easy to use?" Other onlookers also gathered around, scrambling to buy the handmade soap.

Shen Qiqi was so busy that her voice became hoarse, but she felt happy in her heart.

Looking at the bustling scene in front of her, she felt like she was on a roll, and all the previous unhappiness was thrown out of the window.

Seeing Shen Qiqi busying herself, Lu Qing quickly joined the battle.

He helped Shen Qiqi pass the soap, collect money, and wipe Shen Qiqi's sweat from time to time.

The two of them cooperated well, their eye contact was full of love, and the air was filled with a sweet scent.

"Oh, this couple is such a perfect match!" An auntie nearby couldn't help but sigh.

"Yes, seeing them doing business makes me feel happy."

A warm and harmonious atmosphere spread around the stall. Customers bought handmade soaps and chatted, making the place very lively.

Shen Qiqi looked at the busy Lu Qing, and her heart felt warm, as sweet as eating honey.

She suddenly remembered something, wiped her hands, picked up a piece of handmade soap, rubbed it on Lu Qing's face, and blinked mischievously, "Look, our Lu Qing has become more handsome after using it!"

Lu Qing's face flushed instantly, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise, looking at Shen Qiqi lovingly, that look could melt people.

"Ahem," Lu Qing cleared his throat and deliberately put on a stern face, "Stop making trouble and get down to business."

Shen Qiqi stuck out her tongue and smiled like a kitten that had stolen some fish. The cunning in her eyes made Lu Qing's heart itch.

As night fell, the people in the market gradually dispersed. Shen Qiqi and Lu Qing counted their harvest today, their hearts filled with joy.

Mrs. Lu, who was standing by, saw how much money they made and her face turned green. She cursed them in her heart as "little vixen".

At this moment, Shen Qiqi suddenly stopped counting the money and looked thoughtfully at a sneaky figure not far away. A meaningful smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and her tone was filled with contempt: "Lu Qing, look, isn't that our good neighbor? What is he doing?"

Shen Qiqi narrowed her eyes and followed her gaze. It was indeed Sun Tongxing!

He hid stealthily behind the crowd, occasionally peeking at their stall.

He was holding a small notebook in his hand, and I didn't know what he was writing.

"Oh, what's this Sun Tongxing up to again?" Shen Qiqi sneered and said to Lu Qing confidently, "Let's go meet him."

The two walked up to Sun Tongxing. Shen Qiqi crossed her arms and looked at him with a half-smile: "Hey, Brother Sun, are you doing market research?"

Sun Tongxing was caught red-handed. His face turned pale and blue, and he stammered and couldn't speak.

The small notebook in his hand fell to the ground, on which were densely written the recipe and production method of Shen Qiqi's handmade soap.

"Brother Sun, your learning ability is too strong, isn't it? You even want to steal my exclusive secret recipe?" Shen Qiqi's tone was filled with sarcasm, "However, no matter how similar you learn, it's still a knockoff and will never be as good as the original."

As Shen Qiqi spoke, she picked up a piece of "copycat" handmade soap made by Sun Tongxing and gently broke it. The soap immediately broke into two pieces.

"See? This is the difference." Shen Qiqi held up the broken soap bar and said to the customers watching the excitement around her, "My handmade soap has a firm texture and a long-lasting fragrance. His knockoff product breaks easily and has a very weak fragrance. There's no comparison at all."

The customers around started talking about it, and those who were originally interested in Sun Tongxing's low-priced handmade soap gave up the idea of ​​buying it.

Sun Tongxing's face turned pale and he felt as uncomfortable as if he had eaten a fly.

He didn't expect Shen Qiqi to expose his tricks in public, and now his business is completely ruined.

"Hmph, just wait and see!" Sun Tongxing left the market in shame after saying these harsh words.

Looking at Sun Tongxing's fleeing figure, Shen Qiqi raised her eyebrows proudly, turned to Lu Qing and said, "How about it? Am I awesome?"

Lu Qing's eyes were full of admiration. He hugged Shen Qiqi into his arms and kissed her on the forehead: "Qiqi, you are so great! I admire you so much!"

Shen Qiqi leaned in Lu Qing's arms, a happy smile on her face.

The moon tonight is exceptionally bright.

“Qiqi, our handmade soap is so popular now, next…” Before Lu Qing could finish his words, he was interrupted by Shen Qiqi.

"Lu Qing, do you smell something..." Shen Qiqi wrinkled her nose and sniffed the air, "It seems like something is burning..."
