On the wedding day, I was broken off, so I remarried his uncle

When Song Xile was going to the home of Patriarch Chen, he met many villagers carrying baskets and hoes, going up the mountains and down the fields along the way!

When the villagers saw Song Xile, they greeted her enthusiastically, even more enthusiastically than before!

Song Xile was naturally happy to see such changes.

It is not difficult to hear from Yun You’s words yesterday that his father-in-law is very dissatisfied with the two’s undisciplined attitude!

If she and Yun You wanted to live a free and easy life in the village, they had to make friends with the tribesmen.

When they arrived at the house of Patriarch Chen, Song Xile saw that only Patriarch Chen and Cao were busy in the yard.

She stood at the door and knocked. When they heard the noise, the two elders looked up and saw Song Xile with a beautiful smile!

Aunt Cao immediately put down her work and greeted him with a smile on her face, "Oh, it's Xile! Come in and sit down. I'll go get you a bowl of sugar water!"

Song Xile hurriedly pulled Cao and said, "Don't bother me, Auntie. I just had breakfast and went out. Please stay with me and talk to my uncle!"

At this time, Patriarch Song brought a small stool from the house, placed it under the pear tree in the yard, and invited Song Xile to sit over!

Song Xile sat down on a small stool, looked around the house and asked, "Are Brother Yunshan and the others not at home?"

"The land is getting drier and drier. Your eldest brother and his friends are watering the fields while it's still cool in the morning. Your sister-in-law is taking the children to the mountains to dig wild vegetables. The harvest is bad now, so we should dry some vegetables at home in case of emergency!"

Speaking of dried vegetables, Cao couldn't help but ask, "Since you are here today, I will bring some dried vegetables back to try!"

"No need, Auntie. I haven't finished eating all the dried vegetables I got from you last time!"

"It doesn't matter if you can't finish it. This dried vegetable won't go bad even if it's stored for a year or two. I have a lot at home, so grab some and take them home to try!"

Song Xile waved her hands repeatedly and quickly changed the subject, "Aunt, I came here today to discuss a way to make money with my uncle!"

The two of them became interested when they heard about the gathering. Aunt Cao couldn't wait to ask, "What is the way to make money?"

Patriarch Chen coughed, interrupting his wife's questioning, "Don't be impatient, let the other person speak first!"

Only then did Cao realize that she was too impatient just now. She immediately shut her mouth and looked at Song Xile with her sharp eyes without saying a word!

Song Xile then took out the toothbrush drawing she had drawn last night and handed it to Clan Leader Chen, "Uncle, this is it. It's called a toothbrush, and it's a tool for cleaning the mouth!"

"It's like this. I have some friendship with Doctor Zheng of Renyitang. He is going to launch a tooth powder business recently. This tool is used to dip in tooth powder to clean teeth!"

"This paper shows the steps to make this toothbrush. I thought I'd find some women from poor families in our village and try to make fifty toothbrushes first!"

"As for making the wooden handle of the toothbrush, you can use bamboo, drill a hole in the brush head, and then use thread to bind the bristles to the brush head, and the toothbrush tool will be ready!"

"As long as this tooth powder sells well, I am confident that this toothbrush will have no problem selling. Uncle, what do you think of this profitable business?"

Patriarch Chen took the drawing handed over by Song Xile and studied it carefully. An expression of surprise and approval gradually appeared on his face.

Obviously attracted by this novel design.

He raised his head and looked at Song Xile, his eyes gleaming with approval. "Your drawing is very clear and concise. In addition, bamboo is easy to get. It is found on the mud walls of every household. As long as we can find a way to get pig bristles, it won't cost much to make a toothbrush like this!"

He paused, and continued, "Thank you for caring about the people in the village who have a hard time making a living. If they can participate in making these toothbrushes, they can also add some income to their families, and their lives will be better! Thank you on behalf of everyone!"

Song Xile waved his hand and said, "Since we are neighbors, we should help each other. Let's not talk about other things. A few days ago, my clansmen sent Yun You to the county exam early in the morning, and I didn't thank you uncles properly."

"Now that there is such a job, I thought that instead of looking for outsiders to do it, it would be better to let the aunts in the clan have a try!"

"Here's what I think. The price of a toothbrush is four cents. If Renyitang's tooth powder business grows in the future, the demand for this toothbrush will naturally increase. Then we can discuss with Brother Zhao and sell this toothbrush in his grocery store. We will give him a penny profit. This is a win-win situation!"

"If Uncle Clan has no objection, I will discuss this matter with Brother Zhao when Renyitang's tooth powder business is on track!"

Song Xile had already considered the matter very carefully, so Patriarch Chen naturally had no objections.

After Patriarch Chen approved it, Song Xile started talking about the promotion of tomorrow's toothbrush!

"Uncle, please arrange some people to come here first. We need to make fifty toothbrushes today!"

"Tomorrow, Renyitang tooth powder will be on sale. We will launch the toothbrush together with it and sell it together. Because this is the first time that everyone has seen this thing, we will have to promote it together with the tooth powder tomorrow!"

Song Xile thought for a moment and said, "Either the first ten people who buy tooth powder will get a toothbrush for free, or we can combine them and sell them at a discount. The specific plan will have to wait until I see Doctor Zheng tomorrow to make a decision!"

Song Xile spoke in detail, and although some of the words were new, it did not prevent Patriarch Chen from understanding it!

Not only did he understand, he couldn't help but be shocked in his heart. This girl has such a talent for business!

If he didn't know Song Xile's background, he would have thought that the girl in front of him came from a merchant family!

Chief Song quickly ordered his wife, "I'll go to the fields to call my sons back. You ask them to cut bamboo for later use. I'll go to Zhu the butcher's house in town and ask for some pig bristles!"

Then he said to Song Xile, "I'll have to trouble you to teach your elder brother and others how to make it later. I'll be back soon!" After that, he hurried out the door!

After her husband left, Cao took Song Xile to the backyard with a knife to choose bamboo. At that time, every household would plant some bamboo under the mud wall. Bamboo is evergreen all the year round and has good meaning.

Secondly, there are traces of bamboo everywhere in farmers' houses. Farm tools such as sieves and bamboo baskets used at home are all made of bamboo, so it is convenient to plant some for use!

"Xi Le, take a look at what kind of bamboo you need and we'll prepare it first."

The wooden handle for the toothbrush doesn't have to be too particular, as long as it's made of bamboo that's two or three years old.

Just as the two men cut a few bamboos, the two brothers Chen Yunshan and Chen Yunlin rushed back from the fields!

With the addition of two people, a small bundle of bamboo was cut in a short time!

"Okay, these are enough. Let's make the wooden handle first!"

A few people then moved the bamboo to the front yard, and Song Xile decided on the required size.

The two brothers began to cut off the extra bamboo joints and branches, and then split the bamboo into two halves. Both of them were familiar with these tasks and moved very quickly. After a short while, they completed the preliminary trimming work.

The next step is to carefully polish the wooden handle to make it smoother, more comfortable and less prickly.

The last step, and the most important one, is drilling!

Song Xile couldn't help but ask, "Do you have any drilling tools at home?"
