Sun Yixing walked away, like a defeated rooster, his back looking dejected.
But Shen Qiqi knew in her heart that this old guy was not someone who would admit defeat easily.
The smile on her face gradually faded, replaced by a hint of vigilance.
"This old fox must be planning something evil!" She muttered to herself, and her mind had already begun to think of various countermeasures.
Lu Qing also noticed the change in Shen Qiqi's mood. His sword-like brows knitted slightly, and his big hand gently covered the back of her hand, "Qiqi, what's wrong?"
As expected, just as Shen Qiqi expected, a few days later, a batch of "copycat goods" appeared on the market that were extremely similar to Shen Qiqi's handmade soaps, but at ridiculously low prices.
This "copycat" has simple packaging and a pungent smell. It's obviously a shoddy product, but it's so cheap!
Some customers who were looking for a bargain turned to "copycat goods" and the sales of Shen Qiqi's handmade soap were affected again.
In the market, discussions about Shen Qiqi's handmade soap were heard one after another.
"I heard that Mr. Sun also makes handmade soap, and it's much cheaper than the Shen family's!" "Yeah, yeah, I heard about it too, but I don't know how good the quality is." "Who cares? As long as it's cheap!"...
Various sounds intertwined together, like an invisible net, tightly surrounding Shen Qiqi.
Shen Qiqi felt like a huge rock was pressing on her chest, making it hard to breathe.
She paced back and forth in the room anxiously, her brows furrowed, like an ant on a hot pan.
Lu Qing felt distressed when he saw her anxious look.
He walked to her side and gently held her in his arms, "Qiqi, don't worry, we will find a way." His gentle voice was like a warm current, slowly flowing into Shen Qiqi's heart, making her feel a little more at ease.
That day, Shen Qiqi and Lu Qing went to the market together.
Watching those customers happily leave with the "copycat goods", Shen Qiqi felt mixed emotions.
She picked up a piece of "counterfeit" and looked at it carefully. A pungent fragrance hit her face, making her frown.
She gently stroked the soap again and found it rough, not at all as delicate and smooth as her own handmade soap.
"This..." Shen Qiqi suddenly paused, her eyes fixed on the "counterfeit goods" in her hand, as if she had discovered some shocking secret.
Lu Qing followed her gaze and also noticed something strange.
"Qiqi, what's wrong?" he asked in a low voice.
Shen Qiqi didn't answer, but put the "counterfeit" under her nose and smelled it carefully, then rubbed it gently with her hands.
A meaningful smile gradually appeared at the corner of her mouth.
"Lu Qing," she raised her head and looked at him with bright eyes, "I know what to do!"
Shen Qiqi looked at the bustling crowd, most of whom flocked to Sun Tongxing's stall, and felt like a stone was blocking her heart.
Cheapness is always the biggest temptation.
Her face was full of "baby is unhappy", and the air around her seemed to be frozen, filled with a faint sadness.
Lu Qing rubbed her head distressedly, "Don't be discouraged, our goods are good, we are not afraid that no one will recognize them!"
But seeing that there was no one in front of her stall, Shen Qiqi still felt very disappointed.
Are we really going to have a price war?
No!
She, Shen Qiqi, is not someone who gives up easily!
"Let's go! Come with me to borrow a place!" Shen Qiqi's eyes flashed, and she pulled Lu Qing away.
In the center of the market, a table, several large basins, and all kinds of strange bottles and jars suddenly appeared in the originally empty place.
This wave of operations completely confused everyone around.
Sun Tongxing's eyes widened, and his jaw nearly dropped to the ground. "What's this girl up to?"
Shen Qiqi cleared her throat and shouted at the top of her voice, "Dear fellow villagers, don't miss it if you pass by! Today, I, Shen Qiqi, will demonstrate the unique skills of handmade soap making for everyone! I guarantee that it will be honest and genuine!"
When the onlookers heard this, they immediately became interested and gathered around.
"Is it true? Is it made on site?" "Can this handmade soap be made on site? I've never seen it before!" "Come on, let's go and take a look!"
Shen Qiqi smiled slightly and began her performance.
She first poured various natural vegetable oils into a basin, then added a special alkali solution, and then stirred it constantly while explaining.
"This oil is made from high-quality rapeseed oil and coconut oil, guaranteed to be pure and natural, with no additives! And this lye is also made from wood ash, absolutely safe and harmless!"
Sun Tongxing stood outside the crowd, watching Shen Qiqi's smooth and flowing operation, his expression becoming increasingly ugly.
This girl is going to reveal her secret recipe!
He was about to step forward to stop her, but was shocked by Shen Qiqi's next words.
"Did you see that? The process of making this handmade soap is quite complicated! Unlike some unscrupulous merchants who use inferior oils and chemical additives, the soap they make is smelly, hard, and hurts the skin!" As she spoke, Shen Qiqi glanced at Sun Tongxing meaningfully.
The onlookers also looked at Sun Tongxing, their eyes full of suspicion.
Sun Tongxing suddenly felt like a thorn in his back and broke out in a cold sweat.
"Next, it's time to witness a miracle!" Shen Qiqi smiled mysteriously and poured the stirred soap liquid into the mold. "Tomorrow, everyone will be able to see the finished product!"
"Tomorrow?" Lu Qing asked doubtfully.
Shen Qiqi smiled mysteriously, "Yes, tomorrow! Tomorrow, I will let everyone know what a truly good handmade soap is!"
The next day, the market was crowded and more than twice as lively as usual.
