Chapter 121: The Popular Milk Tea

Shen Lingning discovered that the man seemed to pay special attention to the machinery exhibition area. His eyes were sharp, unlike those of ordinary businessmen. He always stopped at booths with many people, as if observing something.

There was no one interested in the Songtaogou booth. Occasionally, foreign businessmen passed by and looked at their small booth, but they only stopped for a few seconds before leaving.

Liu Jinfeng rubbed her hands anxiously, sweat breaking out on her forehead.

Shen Lingning was as calm as water.

Shen Lingning was not in a hurry. He asked Liu Jinfeng to light the small kerosene stove she brought, put a small aluminum pot on it, pour in clean water and carefully prepared osmanthus honey, and heat it slowly.

After a while, a sweet and rich fragrance of osmanthus with the warmth of autumn drifted away like an invisible ribbon, tenaciously penetrating the smell of various industrial products and chemical flavors, and entering the nasal cavity of everyone in the exhibition hall.

"Huh? What's that smell? It smells so good?"

"It seems to be the sweet scent of osmanthus coming from over there..."

Curious eyes began to look into the corners.

Someone followed the smell and saw golden honey bubbling in the aluminum pot.

Shen Lingning smiled gently, scooped up a little bit with the prepared bamboo cup, and handed it to the person who approached him generously: "Comrade, try it? Our Qinnan wild osmanthus honey is naturally sweet and moisturizes the lungs and relieves coughs."

Natural and sweet, these two words have magical power at an exhibition filled with industrial products.

The refreshingly sweet taste immediately captivated everyone, and the Songtaogou booth finally attracted a small crowd.

The popularity of Songtaogou's booth gradually increased.

Osmanthus cake and osmanthus honey are especially popular because they can be enjoyed immediately.

Several overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia praised the Jingui black tea highly and signed orders on the spot.

But as the number of people increases, there are all kinds of people.

A Hong Kong businessman, well-dressed and wearing a gold ring on his finger, pinched his nose as he picked up a bar of tea seed soap and said with disdain, "Soap from the mainland? It's so crude! The packaging is also tacky."

How about this, I want a large quantity, I'll reduce the price by 30%, and sell it under our company's brand?"

The smile on Shen Lingning's face faded a little, and he took back the soap in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "Sir, our soap is made of real materials and traditional craftsmanship. Although it looks simple, it has a good effect on cleaning and skin care, and it is natural and does not hurt your hands.

"Songtaogou" is our collective brand for the military factory, like our child, and we won't sell it. If you really want it, we can discuss cooperation, but OEM is not an option."

Her tone was calm, but her eyes were firm, and her attitude of protecting the brand and dignity was clear. She made the Hong Kong businessman leave in embarrassment, but attracted admiring glances from those around her who were actually looking at the products.

A cooling soap with added peppermint oil was also favored by a Middle Eastern customer, who believed it was suitable for the local climate.

At this moment, the man pointed by Fubao quietly approached the core of the crowded machinery exhibition area, and his hand seemed to be reaching into his arms!

"Mom! Damn it! There's a ticking sound! Like a little clock! It's so loud!"

Fubao suddenly twisted his body restlessly, covered his ears with his little hands, and his voice was filled with crying and fear!

Shen Lingning's scalp instantly went numb!

Fubao’s extraordinary hearing can never be wrong!

Combined with that person's abnormality, a terrifying hypothesis emerged - spy! Explosion?!

At the critical moment!

Shen Lingning didn't have time to think about it. She suddenly stuffed Fubao into Liu Jinfeng's arms and picked up the pot of boiling osmanthus honey water that she had just prepared and was ready to give to the guests for tasting.

She pretended to slip and let out a scream, and the whole pot of water was "accidentally" spilled on the man's arms and chest as he was about to move!

"Oops! I'm sorry! I'm sorry sir!"

Shen Lingning apologized repeatedly, his expression panicked.

"ah!"

"Baka!"

The man was burned so much that he screamed and jumped away, and the simple time bomb wrapped in oilcloth in his arms fell to the ground with a clang!

The dripping sound was clearly audible! The whole audience fell silent for a moment, and then screams of terror broke out!

The patrolling police rushed forward and subdued the criminal.

The man, sensing his mission had failed, continued to yell, "Let me go, let me go! I'm Japanese, you have no right to punish me."

Professionals handled the dangerous explosive quickly and carefully.

Two people in the crowd quickly lowered their heads and dispersed.

A destructive activity that could have caused huge casualties was successfully resolved by Shen Lingning in such an unexpected way!

Shen Lingning's face was pale, and he explained in shock: "I'm sorry... There were too many people, and I couldn't stand firmly..."

As if he had accidentally destroyed the enemy's spy mission, he perfectly concealed Fubao's warning, leaving only the appearance of "accidental meritorious service".

The spy incident was like a huge rock thrown into a pond, and the ripples instantly swept across the entire Canton Fair.

The chaos was quickly brought under control, but everyone's attention was focused on the "source" of the incident - the corner booth selling soap and osmanthus cakes where the "hero's water" was spilled.

"Comrade! It's you! Well done!"

"Comrade, your osmanthus water has done a great job! We must support it! How much is this soap?"

"Give me twenty bucks! Just for your courage!"

"Black tea! I want all your black tea!"

The crowd came like a tide.

A mixture of curiosity, admiration, gratitude, and pure desire to buy.

All the samples and stock brought by Songtaogou, even the unfinished pot of osmanthus honey, were sold out in a very short time!

An old overseas Chinese excitedly asked for the simple paper card with the three calligraphy characters "Songtaogou" written on it, saying that he wanted to keep it as a souvenir.

Liu Jinfeng and Jiang Chengdong and others who arrived later were busy collecting money, registering, and issuing invoices, with smiles on their faces.

At that moment, someone in the crowd shouted, "I remember now! Is she the one featured in the newspaper last year? The most beautiful military wife who started a soap business with her fellow military wives and outsmarted human traffickers?!"

"Yes, yes, yes! It's her! Shen Lingning!"

"Oh! It's really her! A hero and role model!"

Last year's deeds were brought up again, and the double halo of "heroic military wife" and "cleverly capturing a spy" instantly elevated Shen Lingning's personal charm and Songtaogou's brand image to the peak.

Reporters rushed in, flash cameras clicking at her and the mostly empty booth.

She introduced the product in a graceful and concise manner, but emphasized: "This is the result of the joint efforts of the military families at the Songtaogou base. Thank you for your support."

Never forget the collective, show your strength, and receive thunderous applause all around.

The flood of orders brings a happy trouble: the stock is gone, but the customers still gather around, thirsty and thirsty.

Fubao also murmured softly: "Mom, I'm thirsty... I want to have a sweet mouth..."

Looking at the little remaining black tea, milk powder and a little osmanthus honey, Fubao suddenly had an idea!

I eagerly said to my mother: "Mom, milk tea, make milk tea!"

That was the milk tea shop that was popular all over the country in the previous life!
