“Yes, big sister.” Lin Wanqiu bent down and said gently to the little girl, “Little friend, would you like to try this strawberry-flavored steamed bun? It’s so sweet!” She picked up a pink steamed bun and handed it to the little girl.
The little girl glanced timidly at her mother, and after receiving her mother's nod of permission, she took the small steamed bun and took a bite. The sweet strawberry flavor spread in her mouth, and she immediately showed a happy smile: "Mommy, it's delicious! I want more!"
Seeing this, the young mother smiled and said, "Give me a pound, it looks healthy, and my child will definitely like it."
"Okay, please wait a moment." Lin Wanqiu quickly packed up the small steamed buns and handed them to the other party. "Our small steamed buns are colored with fresh fruit and vegetable juices, without any added pigments, so you can rest assured to feed them to your child."
"That's good. I was just worried about the safety of the food I give my child." The young mother nodded in satisfaction, paid, and left with her little girl. Before leaving, she turned back and said, "I'll definitely buy from you again next time!"
More and more people gathered in front of the booth, with a constant stream of people trying samples, asking questions, and making purchases. Lin Wanqiu was extremely busy, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead. Shen Tingzhou saw this and felt both sorry for her and proud. He quietly picked up a towel draped over the side and handed it to Lin Wanqiu: "Wipe your sweat, don't overwork yourself."
Lin Wanqiu took the towel, casually wiped her forehead, and looked up at Shen Tingzhou with a tired but bright smile: "It's okay, I'm not tired. Look, everyone really likes our products!"
Just then, a discordant voice rang out: "Hmph, these are just some petty snacks, yet they dare to participate in such a large exhibition. They're making a fool of themselves."
Lin Wanqiu looked in the direction of the sound and saw a man in a suit and tie with slicked-back hair standing in front of the booth with a disdainful expression. Behind him were two attendants in Zhongshan suits, looking very imposing.
Shen Tingzhou frowned, stepped forward, and stood in front of Lin Wanqiu, looking at her coldly: "Comrade, please watch your words. Whether our products are good or not is not up to you to decide, but up to the consumers."
The man scoffed, glancing at the products on the display stand: "These shoddy products dare to call themselves health foods? I think they're just trying to attract attention." He was Zhao Tiancheng, the owner of "Yue Tianxuan." He had been holding a grudge ever since his failed attempt to sabotage "Natural Flavor" sales channels. He had come to this exhibition to find an opportunity to embarrass Lin Wanqiu.
Lin Wanqiu was burning with anger, but she suppressed her displeasure and stepped forward, still wearing a polite smile: "Mr. Zhao, every product of our 'Natural Delight' undergoes strict quality control. We use only natural ingredients and add no harmful substances. If you don't like our products, you don't need to waste your time here."
"Waste of time?" Zhao Tiancheng sneered, reaching out to knock over the samples on the display stand. "Today I'm going to show everyone the true colors of your inferior products!"
With lightning speed, Shen Tingzhou grabbed Zhao Tiancheng's wrist, the force of which made Zhao Tiancheng wince in pain: "Boss Zhao, don't be so presumptuous!"
Seeing this, the surrounding audience gathered around, pointing and whispering at Zhao Tiancheng: "What's wrong with this guy? People's products are selling well, why is he causing trouble here?"
"That's right! I just tried them, and their pastries taste amazing, much better than those from 'Yue Tian Xuan'!"
"I think he's just jealous of other people's good business!"
Zhao Tiancheng's face flushed red and then turned pale. His wrist ached from Shen Tingzhou's grip, but he couldn't break free. Enraged, he shouted, "What do you know! This woman's products are completely substandard; eating them will cause illness!"
"You're talking nonsense!" Lin Wanqiu took out a quality inspection report that she had prepared beforehand and held it up high. "Everyone, please look, this is the quality inspection report for our 'Natural Delight' products. All indicators meet national standards and are absolutely safe and healthy!"
The audience crowded around to take a look, and upon seeing the clear test results on the report, they all nodded in agreement.
"I see. I misunderstood you, Comrade Lin," said the middle-aged man who had just bought the yam and lotus seed cake. "Don't pay attention to such unreasonable people."
Looking at the test report, Zhao Tiancheng's face turned deathly pale. He knew he had shot himself in the foot. Shen Tingzhou released his wrist and said coldly, "Mr. Zhao, you should have a conscience and do business with integrity. If you dare to cause trouble here again, don't blame me for being impolite."
Zhao Tiancheng clutched his aching wrist, glared fiercely at Lin Wanqiu, and left in a disheveled state with his entourage.
The minor incident quickly subsided, and Lin Wanqiu's booth returned to its lively state. After what had just happened, people had even greater trust in "Natural Taste" products, and orders were piling up.
As noon approached, the crowd in the showroom showed no signs of thinning. Lin Wanqiu was busy packing products for customers when she suddenly heard a child's voice calling out, "Mommy! Mommy!"
She looked up and saw Shen Nian'an wearing a little red cotton-padded jacket, running towards her with her short legs. Her little face was red from the cold, like a ripe apple. Shen Tingzhou's mother, Old Lady Shen, followed behind, her face showing a somewhat unwilling expression.
"Nian'an, what brings you here?" Lin Wanqiu knelt down in surprise, hugged her son tightly, and kissed his little face. "Are you cold?"
Shen Nian'an shook her head, hugged Lin Wanqiu's neck tightly with her little hands, and said softly, "Mommy, I missed you. Grandma brought me here."
Grandma Shen stepped forward, glanced at the mountain of orders piled up on the booth, and said in a somewhat stiff tone, "I brought Nian'an to see you and to bring you some food." As she spoke, she handed the cloth bag in her hand to Shen Tingzhou.
