Shen Qiqi didn't say anything else, but the warning in her eyes was self-evident.
The villager shrank his neck in fear and dared not say a word.
At this moment, a warm big hand tightly grasped Shen Qiqi's hand...
Lu Qing's big hands, with their rough warmth, tightly wrapped around Shen Qiqi's small hands, like a warm current that instantly dispelled the chill in her heart.
The determination in his eyes was like a mountain rock, silently conveying the signal "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Shen Qiqi held his hand back, feeling the strength in his palm. A warm current surged into her heart, and her originally tense nerves relaxed.
She knew that no matter what happened, Lu Qing would be her strongest support.
A feeling of gratitude flowed through her heart, and she felt like she was recharged and instantly revived.
"Let's go, let's not bother with those keyboard warriors!" Shen Qiqi's lips curled up with a confident arc, and her eyes flashed with a cunning light, like a little fox ready to hunt.
"We'll know whether it's a mule or a horse by taking it out for a spin," she said loudly, clapping her hands. "Today, we'll open for business and let those rumormongers see whether our Lujia Village's 'new gadget' is really just shoddy food!"
The villagers looked at each other in bewilderment. No one expected that Shen Qiqi would be so bold as to not pursue the rumors but to publicly display them.
After being surprised, everyone was full of admiration for Shen Qiqi.
"However, before that, let's invite a special guest." Shen Qiqi smiled mysteriously, with a hint of amusement in her eyes.
"Invite the owner of the shop in Zhao's neighboring village to come over and take a look. Let him take a good look at the quality of the 'tofu dregs' he's talking about!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience was in an uproar.
Please ask the owner of Zhao Lincun?
Isn't this just inviting a wolf into the house?
Everyone tried to dissuade her, fearing that Shen Qiqi would fall into the other party's trap.
"Don't worry, I know what to do." Shen Qiqi waved her hand, signaling everyone to stay calm.
"Since he likes to criticize so much, let him see with his own eyes the strength of our Lujia Village!"
Soon, the shop owner from Zhaolin Village was "invited" to the workshop in Lujia Village.
He was completely confused and had no idea what Shen Qiqi was up to.
Looking at the brand new workshop and the busy figures of the workers, he began to feel a little uneasy, and his previous arrogance dissipated a lot.
He looked at Shen Qiqi cautiously, and always felt that something was wrong with her today, as if she was holding back some big move.
Shen Qiqi walked up to the owner of Zhaolin Village with a smile, stretched out her hand, and made a "please" gesture.
"Boss Zhao, welcome to visit our workshop in Lujia Village. Will you please?"
As soon as the owner of Zhaolin Village stepped into the workshop, he was stunned by the scene before him.
The workers were busy in an orderly manner. Some were carefully carving the pottery, some were meticulously coloring it, and some were firing the kiln.
The air was filled with the fragrance of soil and ceramic glaze, which was completely different from the dilapidated scene he had smashed before, it was like two different worlds.
Shen Qiqi smiled like a flower, and like a tour guide, she enthusiastically introduced each process.
Pointing to a half-finished pottery figurine, she said with great excitement, "Boss Zhao, look, this isn't just ordinary clay. This is purple clay, a specialty of our Lujia Village. The finished product has a rich color and a delicate texture. It's absolutely one of a kind!"
The shop owner from Zhao Lincun took a closer look. The touch was as smooth as jade, and he couldn't help but exclaim, "This... this feel is amazing!"
Then, Shen Qiqi demonstrated her newly developed glaze formula, which was colorful and shiny, dazzling the owner of Zhao Lincun.
"This glaze is not something you can just mix casually. There are many tricks involved. It's my exclusive secret recipe, and you won't find any other branches!"
"This... this..." The shop owner from Zhaolin Village exclaimed repeatedly, with huge waves already rising in his heart.
He originally thought that the so-called innovation of Lujia Village was just a fancy trick, but now it seems that it is far superior to his shoddy "copycat goods".
Shen Qiqi even had the workers demonstrate their unique skills on the spot. The smooth and flowing movements left the owner of Zhao Lincun stunned, and he even forgot to put out the cigarette in his hand.
He finally realized that he had been a frog in a well before, and that he had come to ruin things in a self-righteous manner, which was simply a laughing stock.
He asked cautiously: "Boss Shen...Boss Shen, these...did you come up with these by yourself?"
The corners of Shen Qiqi's mouth rose slightly, revealing a meaningful smile.
"Of course, what else would happen? Who would destroy their own family's job for no reason?"
The owner of Zhaolin Village was completely impressed by Shen Qiqi's talent and courage. The arrogance on his face had long disappeared, replaced by full of admiration and shame.
He was like a deflated ball, dejectedly saying, "Boss Shen, I...I was really possessed by the devil before. I shouldn't have come to mess with you. Your craftsmanship is truly amazing. I'm impressed, I really am! I will never maliciously compete with you again. I...I apologize!"
As he spoke, he bowed deeply to Shen Qiqi, his posture extremely humble.
Shen Qiqi looked at him like this, feeling secretly pleased, but said calmly, "It is a great virtue to correct one's mistakes as soon as one knows them. However, Boss Zhao, you must keep your eyes open in the future and don't be fooled by those superficial efforts again."
The owner of Zhaolin Village nodded vigorously and promised repeatedly that he would never dare to act presumptuously in front of Shen Qiqi again.
The storm was thus settled, and Shen Qiqi crushed the owner of Zhaolin Village with her strength and completely conquered him.
However, as the scale of production expanded, new problems emerged.
Lu Qing frowned, looking at the piles of semi-finished products, and asked worriedly: "Qiqi, the output is up, but the quality..."
Shen Qiqi looked at the terracotta figurines, deep in thought, a mysterious smile curled up at the corner of her mouth, "It all depends on who will have the last laugh..."
