Just thinking about it makes his mouth water.

Such delicious food has no reason not to sell!

"Wife, where did you buy it from?" Shen Shi asked in confusion.

"It's on the pedestrian street nearby. I specifically chose the intersection where there are a lot of people coming and going, but not a single person bought anything."

As she spoke, Ji Beiqing gradually became depressed. Her first attempt at shopping had resulted in a complete disaster.

Shen Shi knew that pedestrian street had a lot of foot traffic, making it a good place to set up a stall.

"How much does it cost per pound?" Shen Shi asked, scratching his head again.

"Ten yuan. The cost price of this stuff is already very high, and it takes a lot of work. We can't make many a day. If we don't sell it at this price, we won't make any money at all."

Fearing that Chen Shi might not understand, Ji Beiqing explained it carefully.

Ten yuan is a bit expensive, but it's not unaffordable. How could things be so bad?

The couple racked their brains but couldn't come up with a solution.

The real reason they couldn't sell was simply because they looked dark and unappealing.

For the sake of cleanliness and hygiene, Ji Beiqing always packed everything in transparent boxes, and she wasn't good at attracting customers.

Passersby could see but not smell the goods, and since the prices weren't low, naturally no one bought them.

However, since Shen Shi wasn't involved, he naturally couldn't figure out the reason.

Seeing his wife's disappointed expression, he quickly hugged her and comforted her: "Next time I'll go with you, and we'll use a megaphone to attract customers. It'll be packed!"

"Forget it, we'll only lose money if we can't sell them. Let's not bother," Ji Beiqing said.

"This is nothing! If it doesn't work, we can still eat it."

Thanks to Shen Shi's persistent efforts, Ji Beiqing agreed to give it another try.

After finishing breakfast, Chen Shi began preparing the ingredients.

The birds outside the window chirped and chattered. Ji Beiqing leaned against the door frame, looking at him tenderly.

“When it sinks,” Ji Beiqing said.

While cleaning the carp, Chen looked up and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, I just wanted to call out to you."

"Oh~" Chen deliberately drew out his voice.

The two smiled at each other, Ji Beiqing lowered her head and blushed, and Chen Shi leaned over and kissed her.

Ji Beiqing gently pounded his chest.

After a period of intimacy, Ji Beiqing went downstairs to find her daughter, while Chen Shi continued to process the fish with her head down.

The upturned corners of his mouth betrayed his good mood.

The doorbell rang. Shen Shi was cooking in the kitchen when he heard it and called out to the bedroom, "Wife, come out and open the door!"

"good."

Upon hearing this, Ji Beiqing immediately came out.

Since moving here, Ji Beiqing has gotten along well with her neighbors, and she was even wondering if Sister Wang would come over to chat with her.

Unexpectedly, when the door opened, a bouquet of bright red lilies appeared before her.

"Are you Ms. Ji?" the young man at the door asked.

Ji Beiqing was still in a daze and nodded blankly.

"These are flowers your husband ordered from our store. Happy birthday!" the deliveryman said, handing over the flowers.

"Thank you." Ji Beiqing reached out and took it.

The lily petals still had round dewdrops on them, and a card was inserted into the bouquet.

"Happy birthday to the most beautiful Miss Ji in the world. I will be with you every wonderful tomorrow."

The signature was Shen Shi's name.

This is the first time Ji Beiqing has received flowers.

When Shen Shi came out of the kitchen, she was holding a bouquet of flowers and crying.

"It can't be that bad, honey!"

I tried to be romantic, but it made my wife cry, and I felt a little helpless.

"It's just a bouquet of flowers, why are you crying?"

He put his arm around Ji Beiqing's shoulder and gently wiped away her tears.

“You don’t understand!” Ji Beiqing retorted weakly.

"I certainly don't understand, but you can tell me, and I'll try to understand."

He looked at her with a gentle expression.

"This is the first time I've ever received flowers!" Ji Beiqing said, her voice choked with emotion.

After thinking it over carefully, Shen realized that he hadn't actually given her anything when they were dating.

It's not that Shen Shi was stingy; it's just that back then, dating wasn't so fancy, and sending flowers wasn't a big deal.

But love often brings a sense of indebtedness, and even in his deepest moments, he still felt that he owed Ji Beiqing something.

"I'll buy it for you often in the future," he promised.

Ji Beiqing shook her head.

Even after expressing her gratitude, Ji Beiqing remained the same frugal and hardworking Ji Beiqing.

"This is such an expensive item, I'll just buy it once."

"Once isn't enough. My wife is so beautiful, she deserves to be surrounded by flowers."

Looking at Ji Beiqing holding the bouquet, Shen Shi finally understood the saying "a person is more beautiful than flowers".

Against the backdrop of pure white lilies, Ji Beiqing appeared even more refined and ethereal, radiating a holy glow.

Chen Shi was like a pilgrim, captivated and unable to look away, and kissed him in a daze.

The two kissed passionately in the living room until the food was burnt, before reluctantly separating.

The flowers arrived shortly after, and the cake that Shen had ordered also arrived.

Ji Beiqing was born in the Year of the Rabbit, and Shen Shi specifically instructed the shop to draw a little rabbit on the cake.

After securing the project, Zhang Mingyuan, wanting to help his friend out, was very generous and paid all the funds in advance.

I was so moved that I burst into tears.

Excluding labor and material costs, the clubhouse can earn approximately 20,000 yuan after renovation.

That's equivalent to the money he earns after working himself to the bone on a construction site for several years.

However, as the client, Zhang Mingyuan was generous but also had very high demands.

The style of the renovation should not be outdated even 20 years from now; that was his requirement for Shen Shi.

In their previous lives, the two of them lived to be eight years later.

Shen Shi fully utilized his imagination when it came to the popular styles of twenty years later.

He studied the blueprints whenever he had free time, and now that the clubhouse renovation has begun, Chen Shi breathed a sigh of relief.

When a man has money in his pocket, the first thing he does is definitely buy a gift for his wife.

Shen Shi handed the box she had prepared to Ji Beiqing and said gently, "Open it and take a look."

Then he looked at her with expectant eyes.

"What?" Ji Beiqing reached out and took it.

Upon opening it, she gasped in surprise, covering her mouth. Shen Shi had actually bought her a diamond necklace!

"The first time I saw it, I felt it should be worn around your neck. Do you like it?"

His gaze, filled with deep affection, was fixed on her.

Which woman doesn't love diamonds?

Ji Beiqing nodded and answered honestly, "I like it, I really like it."

"I'm glad you like it." Seeing her happy, Chen felt incredibly satisfied.

Overjoyed, Ji Beiqing hugged Shen Shi and murmured, "This is the best birthday I've ever had."

Shen Shi touched her face affectionately, "There will be even better ones."

“I know,” Ji Beiqing said.

At that moment, she was absolutely convinced that Shen Shi would work hard for the family and bring them a better life.

The lunch was extremely lavish, with not only chicken, duck, fish and meat, but also rare delicacies such as hairy crabs and fresh bamboo shoots, all laid out on the table.

To give his wife a perfect birthday celebration, Shen Shi started planning long ago and put in a lot of effort.
