Of course she knew that in her previous life she loved going to the Sugar and Wine Fair because she could taste all kinds of delicious food for free. One year she ate too much sugar and couldn't digest it, so she vomited and had diarrhea after returning home.
After learning that local sugar and wine companies in Fengcheng could sign up for the trade fair, Shen Mingzhu immediately became interested.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is just over three months away. If she can successfully participate in the Shanghai Sugar and Wine Fair, she can sell mooncake coupons in advance, and customers can then go directly to the store to pick up the mooncakes with the coupons.
The couple discussed signing up for the wine fair in the warehouse.
…
At dusk, the golden-orange sunset cast a beautiful silhouette on the family of three returning home.
When I was almost at the family compound, I met Feng Huiying who was also returning home.
Pei Yang took the food and went home to cook dinner. Shen Mingzhu held her son's hand and walked slowly with Feng Huiying, listening to Feng Huiying talk about some experiences of women giving birth.
As I entered the family compound, I saw Shen Baolan, who was also pregnant, chatting with a few female comrades by the flower bed.
Speaking of which, Shen Baolan is a little younger than Shen Mingzhu, but her belly is much bigger than Shen Mingzhu's, and her waist is also thicker. However, her condition is still much better than when she was pregnant last year, and she is not as fat as a pig.
The two are from the same village, married into the family compound at the same time, and now they are pregnant at the same time. It is a rare occasion for them to be together, and people in the family compound can't help but compare them.
"Pei Yang's daughter, you are already seven months pregnant, why is your waist still so thin? From behind, it looks like you are not pregnant."
Hearing someone praising Shen Mingzhu for her good figure, Shen Baolan looked down at her waist, pouted her lips, and walked up to Shen Mingzhu with her bulging belly.
"Shen Mingzhu, your belly is so small and round, you must be giving birth to a daughter!"
"Look at my belly, it's so big and pointed, I'm sure I'll be having a son."
Seeing Shen Mingzhu staring at her belly, Shen Baolan immediately puffed out her belly with pride.
I thought Shen Mingzhu would be envious and would refute, but Shen Mingzhu just left after observing her belly, as if she didn't care about having a daughter at all.
He must be pretending! Who knows how upset he must be.
She didn't believe there was a woman who didn't want to have a son! Staring at Shen Mingzhu's slender figure for a while, Shen Baolan couldn't help feeling jealous.
In order not to repeat last year's mistakes, she has been resisting eating too much since she became pregnant this time. However, as the months went by, her figure got out of shape.
But although they were both pregnant, Shen Mingzhu still looked like a girl, with thin arms, legs, waist, and fair and tender skin. She was actually getting more and more beautiful.
…
"What are you taking pictures of?"
Pei Yang bought a few wild crucian carps for dinner. He wanted to ask Shen Mingzhu how she planned to eat it, but when he entered the room, he saw Shen Mingzhu standing in front of the dressing mirror, looking at her left waist and then her right waist.
"Everyone says my belly is round and I will give birth to a daughter."
Pei Yang walked behind her, bent over and placed his big furry head on her shoulder, looking at her in the mirror with his deep eyes.
"Wouldn't it be what you want if it was a daughter?"
Shen Mingzhu pouted, "But everyone says so. I'm afraid my expectations are too high. If a son is born, it will be a huge disappointment."
"That's easy. If it's not a daughter, we can just have another one."
"You wish, go and make your meal!"
Pei Yang didn't insist. After asking her how to eat crucian carp, he went to the kitchen.
Shen Mingzhu sat on the sofa watching TV, but couldn't help thinking about Pei Yang's proposal just now.
She is still young, and if she gives birth to a son this time, she can actually consider having a second child.
But on second thought, what if the second child is also a son, then wouldn’t she have to raise three sons?
…
Registration for the trade fair was even more popular than Shen Mingzhu had imagined. Outside the temporary registration point set up by the organizer, the line formed a long winding dragon.
"Wife, please go back to the factory first and wait for my news."
Judging from the situation, it would take at least an hour to sign up. The sun was so strong, there was really no need for her to stay in the sun with them.
"Hey, isn't this Director Shen?"
Shen Mingzhu looked over and her good mood immediately turned sour.
Wang Hongcheng looked at the couple with a smile, "You are here to sign up for the trade fair, Director Shen. I heard that you opened a dim sum shop and it's doing well. It seems that you are ready to make a big splash this year."
Shen Mingzhu simply ignored the other party.
Pei Yang knew that she disliked Wang Hongcheng, so he drove her away: "Mr. Wang is very busy, so we won't delay your fortune."
Wang Hongcheng snorted and laughed, then turned and left.
Although Wang Hongcheng is gone, his thoughts are still on the couple.
Although he did not take Shen Mingzhu's small factory seriously, the Ronghua mooncake brand now belonged to Shen Mingzhu. If Shen Mingzhu put up the Ronghua mooncake brand at the trade fair, it would definitely have an impact on him.
On the way back to the factory, Wang Hongcheng thought about it for a long time and finally came up with a good idea.

…
In a blink of an eye, it was the day when the selected companies of the trade fair would be announced.
"How is it? Are we selected?"
As soon as Pei Yang returned to the office at noon, Shen Mingzhu hurriedly asked him questions.
"No."
Although I was prepared for the possibility that I might not be selected, I was still disappointed when I heard the result.
"So was Fushun selected?"
For some unknown reason, Shen Mingzhu couldn't help but think of Wang Hongcheng.
Seeing Pei Yang's hesitant look, Shen Mingzhu guessed the result.
Although her own failure was painful, her opponent's success was even more painful.
Seeing her frustrated, Pei Yang whispered to comfort her, "Don't worry, there will be another chance next year. I asked someone and found out that Greentown will hold a national food and wine trade fair in October. It should be possible to sign up now."
Pei Yang's words of comfort were just casual, but Shen Mingzhu took them to heart.
Although she couldn't sell mooncakes at the National Food and Drinks Fair, she still had apple marshmallows, flower cakes and snowflake crisps.
…
"Director Xu, I'm really sorry to trouble you this time. This is a small gift from me. Please accept it."
Taking the thick envelope handed over by Wang Hongcheng, Xu Kehua smiled particularly happily, "It's just a small matter, Mr. Wang is too polite."
"It's just a small favor to you, but it helps me a lot."
Director Xu smiled and said, "There are limited booths this time, and some small and medium-sized enterprises are not eligible to be selected. It is a pure waste of resources."
"That's true, but some people don't see their own identity clearly, they are too ambitious, and they have to jump out and make a fuss, which is annoying."
When Wang Hongcheng went back, he made a detour to pass by Shen Mingzhu's food factory. Looking at the sign hanging at the door of the food factory, he spat triumphantly, then rode away on his bike humming a little tune.
…
"How is it, did you ask?"
Pei Yang wiped the sweat from his forehead and answered while panting: "I asked, the booth fee for the Food and Drinks Fair is 150 yuan per square meter, and the booth area ranges from 20 to 80 square meters."
By this calculation, the smallest booth would cost three thousand yuan.
The three-day exhibition period means she earns one thousand yuan a day, which is equivalent to the annual rent of her Friendship Shopping Mall.
Shen Mingzhu hesitated.
