In the early morning of the month, the sun shone faintly on the bluestone slabs of the county market, and a bustling crowd began to surge.

Shen Qiqi was full of energy, carrying a bamboo basket full of freshly made handmade soap on her back, and walked side by side with Lu Qing in the morning glow.

"Of course a husband and wife team is awesome!" Shen Qiqi raised her chin confidently with a smug smile on her face.

In the bamboo basket in her hand, each piece of handmade soap has been carefully polished and packaged, like a piece of art.

Lu Qing's gaze fell on her gently, and the pride in his heart was beyond words.

The two soon arrived at the market, only to see that Sun Tongxing's stall was surrounded by people and noisy sounds were heard one after another.

When we got closer, we saw Sun Tongxing holding a piece of imitation "Qiqi Handmade Soap" and talking sweetly to the villagers watching: "Look, this so-called 'Qiqi Handmade Soap' is nothing special. It's just some flower petals." His words were sharp and sarcastic, and there were bursts of low discussions in the crowd.

Shen Qiqi's brows were furrowed. She took a deep breath, stepped forward, and spoke in a clear and powerful voice: "You're right, this is really nothing special, because this is not the real 'Qiqi Handmade Soap' at all! I am Shen Qiqi, and the real 'Qiqi Handmade Soap' is only made by me!"

Sun Tongxing was stunned and speechless. Seeing this, Lu Qing frowned slightly.

Shen Qiqi ignored Sun Tongxing's embarrassment and turned to walk towards the stall of Zhaoji Market Administrator.

She took a deep breath, walked to the management office, and knocked hard on the window, saying firmly, "Administrator, I want to change my location. I want a better stall to display my handmade soap!"

Zhao Ji Market Manager forced out a cold smile and slowly raised his head: "Hey, aren't you Shen Qiqi? It's good enough that your handmade soap can be sold, what else do you want for a good position?"

Shen Qiqi's face darkened, and a hint of anger flashed in her eyes, but she was not enraged. Instead, she became calmer: "I don't care what you think, my handmade soap is definitely better than you think! I just want a fair position, believe me, you won't regret it!"

The administrator was still pretentious and deliberately making things difficult: "Well, then it depends on whether you have the ability. I'll give you a place, but the rent will be doubled!"

Shen Qiqi didn't flinch, the corners of her mouth raised, her eyes flashing with determination: "Deal!"

Seeing this, Lu Qing frowned and felt indignant.

He pulled Shen Qiqi's sleeve and whispered, "This person is too difficult, do you want me to help you solve it?"

Shen Qiqi smiled and shook her head: "No, I have my own way. Let's go, let's set up the stall!"

The two walked out of the management office, and Shen Qiqi's face glowed with confidence again.

She placed the handmade soaps one by one on the new stall. Each piece exuded a faint fragrance, attracting passers-by to stop and take a look.

As the sun rose higher, the noise of the market rose and fell.

Shen Qiqi was full of confidence, waiting for the test of the market.

At this moment, a familiar voice sounded not far away: "Huh, you said that Shen Qiqi's handmade soap will definitely not sell, I want to see if she can gain a foothold in this market!"

Shen Qiqi raised her eyebrows slightly, but a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. She silently held a piece of handmade soap in her hand, turned to look at Lu Qing, with a determined light in her eyes: "Let's go!" Lu Ersao's chatterbox was simply a walking trumpet. Whenever she caught someone in the village, she would say: "Oh my, you didn't see that Shen Qiqi was making a fuss at the market again. She still wanted to sell handmade soap. I think she will have to roll back in disgrace in less than three days!" Her sarcastic tone, coupled with her winking expression, made her look like a sour grape.

These sarcastic remarks, as if they had legs, quickly reached Shen Qiqi's ears.

The smile on her face wilted instantly, like an eggplant hit by frost.

My heart felt like it was clogged with a ball of cotton, stuffy and heavy.

She bit her lower lip, trying hard not to let the grievance in her eyes fall out.

Lu Qing saw it and felt pain in his heart. He gently held Shen Qiqi's hand, and the warmth of his palm conveyed silent support.

"Ignore those gossips, they are just envious and jealous!" Lu Qing's voice was low and powerful, like a reassurance, calming Shen Qiqi's heart a little.

But Shen Qiqi is not the kind of soft persimmon that can't get up after being knocked down!

She took a deep breath, the fighting spirit in her eyes rekindled, and a sly smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"Since they don't believe it, let them see with their own eyes what it means to be slapped in the face with strength!" As she said this, her eyes lit up and she had a new idea.

She walked up to Sun Tongxing's stall, cleared her throat, and said in a challenging tone: "Sun Tongxing, didn't you say that my handmade soap was nothing special? Today I will let you see what real materials are! Do you dare to try my newly improved handmade soap?" Sun Tongxing was stunned when he heard this, his face full of disbelief, and the stall owners around him also cast surprised glances at him.

Then, Shen Qiqi turned and walked towards Administrator Zhao with a harmless smile on her face: "Administrator Zhao, didn't you say that my handmade soap couldn't be sold? I specially prepared a 'surprise' for you today. Would you like to experience the effect of my handmade soap yourself? I guarantee that you will be impressed! " Administrator Zhao was also petrified in an instant, with an expression of disbelief, as if he had heard some fairy tale.

The atmosphere of the entire market seemed to have been paused, and everyone's eyes were focused on Shen Qiqi, waiting to see what she would do next.

Shen Qiqi looked around, holding a piece of carefully made handmade soap in her hand, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and she turned to look at Lu Qing, "Let's go, let's start——"
