On the wedding day, I was broken off, so I remarried his uncle
Chapter 135: Difficult Living
After Song Xile's detailed explanation, the people soon developed a strong interest in tooth powder.
After she demonstrated the correct way to brush teeth and explained the necessity of teeth cleaning, many people who had this need couldn't help but ask about the price.
"Is this tooth powder really so good? How much is a box?" asked a middle-aged man.
His father had toothaches from time to time. When the pain came, he had difficulty eating and drinking, and even had trouble sleeping at night. As a son, he didn't want his father to suffer from such torture.
"Sir, why don't you buy some and try it for a while and you'll know! The herbs in this tooth powder are good for your teeth. Use it with a toothbrush to clean your mouth to the greatest extent!
Song Xile pointed at the tooth powder in front of the stall and introduced: "Now this basic tooth powder is 20 cents a box, and a toothbrush is 4 cents. Today is the first day of sale. The first ten people who buy tooth powder will get a toothbrush for free!"
"As for the other high-end tooth powder, it contains precious and complex herbs, and its efficacy is naturally better. It is also more expensive, costing one tael of silver per box!"
Customers in front of the stall couldn't help but gasp, and someone asked with concern: "Will this cheap tooth powder work?"
Song Xile smiled and nodded, "Don't worry, everyone. Don't worry that this basic tooth powder is useless just because it's cheap. It also contains medicinal herbs and can strengthen and clean teeth. If used with a toothbrush for a long time, it can also prevent dental diseases."
The people also expressed their understanding of such things. After all, you get what you pay for, and this is an eternal truth.
After listening to Song Xile's detailed introduction, the middle-aged man who asked the question immediately expressed his desire for a box.
The onlookers, seeing someone making a purchase, were afraid that they would be late, so they rushed to buy as well.
Those who were brought over by the children later, seeing how lively the stall was, crowded in and whispered to each other about what was going on.
The customer who had already bought the tooth powder described in vivid detail what he had just heard from Song Xile with great satisfaction.
Later customers were so excited by what they heard that they joined the buying process.
Doctor Zheng was selling with a smile on his face.
He expected tooth powder to be a good business, but he didn't expect it to be so popular!
More and more customers came to the stall, and the affordable tooth powder in front of the stall was quickly sold out.
He said apologetically to the customers who came to buy: "I'm sorry, dear customers, all the cheap tooth powder prepared by our store is sold out today. If you are in a hurry, you can make an order today. We will ship it out tomorrow in the order of order!"
As soon as Dr. Zheng finished speaking, the customers hurriedly said:
"Doctor Zheng, I'll order two boxes first. My mother has bad teeth, so it's a good opportunity to give her a box to try!" A middle-aged woman spoke first.
"And me, I want two boxes too!"
"I'd like to reserve a box. Please get me two toothbrushes." An old man followed closely behind.
Customers rushed to make reservations. Doctor Zheng was busy receiving guests, while Chen Yunyou helped record the number of reservations. The scene was very lively.
After a busy period, the customers in front of the stall gradually dispersed, leaving only the children who were holding pictures and promoting the products everywhere.
Doctor Zheng was looked at by the children with passionate eyes and immediately waved to them.
He took out a handful of copper coins from the money box and said, "You have done a good job today. Take this money and divide it among you!"
The leading child happily took the copper coin with his clothes, but did not leave immediately. Instead, he bravely asked expectantly: "Doctor Zheng, do you still need our help to pull people in tomorrow?"
Doctor Zheng looked at Song Xile and asked for her opinion.
Song Xile thought for a moment and then said to Doctor Zheng, "Take care of them for two more days. We must strike while the iron is hot. The momentum of propaganda cannot be stopped. Today they are familiar with the propaganda words, and they will be more comfortable with it tomorrow!"
Doctor Zheng nodded repeatedly, turned to the children and said, "Okay, come back tomorrow!"
The children's eyes lit up when they heard that. After thanking him, they ran to an empty corner and divided the silver they had just received. In total, each child got thirty copper coins.
This trip was indeed not in vain. In just over an hour, each person earned thirty cents, which was more than what their fathers earned as laborers!
The children held the money they received tightly against their chests and ran home like the wind.
Among them were two children, about seven or eight years old, wearing pants that were obviously too short. They ran into a remote alley in twists and turns. The alley was not big, but there were seven families living in it.
Most of the people living here have lost their land for one reason or another and have no skills, so they make a living by helping people carry bags by the river.
Now, due to the dry weather, there have been no merchant ships at the dock for a long time, so these families have lost their jobs that they rely on for their livelihood!
In addition, with the sharp rise in food prices, life at home is becoming increasingly difficult!
In a dilapidated little courtyard, a woman sat in the house crying silently, and a middle-aged man was worried about the unsold goods in his cart!
Since the water level in the river has gradually dried up, the cargo ships that pass through the dock have stopped, and they have lost their only source of livelihood.
Now that I can no longer carry bags, I still want to find a way to make money.
After much thought, the two brothers of the Zhou family used their only savings to buy small items in shops in the city, intending to carry them to various villages to sell!
It was also because of their bad luck that they chose to carry out some flashy things like silk flowers and handkerchiefs to sell!
If it is displayed in a good year, young wives in the countryside will still be willing to buy these beautiful flower patterns.
But things are different now. These dispensable things will be the first to be discarded when the years are bad, so the Zhou family is worried about having a pile of unsellable silk flowers!
If they can’t sell it, their family will have no money to buy food by the end of this month!
The two children who had just received the silver ran back to their own yard excitedly, calling out excitedly: "Dad, Mom, we...we made money!"
The woman who was wiping her tears was shocked when she heard this. She wiped her tears immediately and quickly left the house with her husband.
Zhou Da glanced at his two sons who were running and sweating profusely, and asked in disbelief, "What did you just say?"
The older boy panted, took out a handful of copper coins from his pocket, and handed them to the two of them, "Dad, Mom, my brother and I have made money!"
Zhou Da was shocked when he saw this, and quickly pulled the two children into the house. He swallowed and asked tremblingly, "Where did this money come from?"
