"There are 150 toothbrushes in total. The toothpaste here is all in big bamboo tubes. If divided into small cans, there are about 200 portions. And one toothbrush can be used for a long time."

"What about the price?"

"A toothbrush costs 20 wen, and toothpaste is more expensive, difficult to make and contains Chinese medicine, 50 wen per serving."

"Toothbrushes are so cheap? Such a good thing has never been seen in the whole capital." Jiang Xiaoman was surprised.

"These toothbrushes are made of ordinary wood, so the price is not expensive."

"If Boss Jiang wants something expensive, I can buy you rosewood, golden nanmu, horse hair, rabbit hair, or jade."

Su Mu thought that wealthy and distinguished people would not use ordinary wood. Rich and particular people would only use the best materials.

Jiang Xiaoman thought for a moment and said, "Okay! I'll try selling this batch first. If the response is good, I'll continue to order more good materials."

"Boss Jiang is so courageous!"

"Don't call me Boss Jiang, you suit my taste very well, just call me by my name!"

"Yes! Xiaoman, I'll bring you something good next time."

"It's settled then! I'll go get the silver for you." Jiang Xiaoman went to the backyard to get the silver.

"20 wen for a toothbrush, 150 in total, a total of three taels of silver. 50 wen for a packet of toothpaste, 200 in total, a total of ten taels of silver. Here are a total of 13 taels." Su Xiaoman clattered on the abacus and took out 13 taels and handed them to Su Mu.

This calculation is really good, but I just don’t understand it.

Su Mu took the silver and said, "I'll come back tomorrow and take a look. If you need me, I'll send a few more batches in a few days."

"Row!"

Su Mu went out and went straight back to his stall.

Seeing that grandpa and uncle had also returned from the stall, Ji Shiyan sent someone to pick them up in the morning to teach them, and then sent them back after the training was over.

After packing up their things, the group of people went back home slowly on the slightly crowded donkey cart.

I got home and started reviewing what happened today.

"Grandpa, how do you feel today?"

"Sure! Those craftsmen are very smart and they understand it immediately. We will finish it in a few more days." Su Dingguo was very happy.

"They also gave us silver."

When Su Mu heard his grandfather say this, he felt relieved. As long as his grandfather was happy, that was enough.

"Today I sold toothbrushes and toothpaste to a grocery store. The toothbrushes were 20 wen each and the toothpaste was 50 wen each. I made a total of 13 taels of silver.

I was a little surprised to hear this number, "Can toothpaste and toothbrushes make so much money?"

"Yes, this is just the first batch. If the follow-up response is good, we can also make higher quality toothbrushes. If we use better wood and jade, the price will be higher."

As he said this, Sumu took out some silver and gave it to his grandfather and the others.

It was always like this at home. The sumu, the people who provided labor, and the public treasury each got a percentage of the silver, but everyone would leave the bulk to the sumu.

She said that without her, there would be no money.

Grandpa took the silver and said: "Mumu is so kind. Because of Mumu, our family's life has improved so much."

Then he looked at Su Yuanshan, Su Zhiwu and Su An.

"You three should not be ungrateful like others and covet your sister's money. Even if you get married in the future, don't do such ungrateful things. Only when the family is harmonious and supports each other can we go further."

"No, we definitely won't, because we have a lot of money saved now." Su Yuanshan assured.

Su Zhiwu also nodded: "Brother is right, my little sister is very good, we will protect her."

"That's right, we are not that kind of people!" said the third brother Su An.

Seeing the three people's assurance, Su Dingguo also smiled with relief, "You are all good children, remember what I said today."

When Su Dingguo was teaching the craftsmen today, he heard some gossip. That person's family framed his brothers and sisters for money. The family was scheming against each other, and the whole house was in chaos.

Thinking about my own family again, I feel fortunate that I am so lucky. My family is harmonious, my children are all good, and Mumu is back. It’s great.

But I still have to give a reminder to be prepared for danger in times of peace.

Su Mu comforted him, "My brothers are all so nice to me! Don't worry, Grandpa." After spending some time together, Su Mu deeply felt the care, love and sincerity of his family members.

"Grandpa can supervise us. We are definitely not the kind of ungrateful people."

"No one in the world is better than my sister. I can eat well with my sister around~" The third brother was singing in a mess over there.

Everyone was amused and started laughing.

Su Mu remembered that someone asked about Roujiamo today.

"When I was selling cold noodles today, someone asked about Roujiamo. I thought I could also sell Roujiamo and braised eggs in a few days to increase my income."

"Can we handle it?" asked mother Wang.

It’s already tiring enough to make hundreds of cold noodles every day, and adding roujiamo to the mix makes it a bit too much to handle.

"We can hire some people to help and give them starting wages."

After accumulating a lot of money over this period of time, the family has accumulated a lot of savings and can afford to hire someone.

"Have someone help make the cold noodles and roujiamo wrappers, so we can make more."

"Liangpi is only selling well during the hot weather. When the weather gets colder, the sales are not so good. We should take advantage of the hot weather to sell more."

"We also have Roujiamo, which can be sold in all seasons. People buy it whether it's hot or cold."

Su Mu explained the various situations one by one.

"There are also eggs, which are used to make braised eggs. We can also buy them or collect eggs from villagers."

"How many people should we invite first?" asked the mother.

"Try to hire one first and see if you can handle it. If you can't, hire another one."

Wang thought about the people in the village and said, "How about Aunt Wu? She is very efficient and her family is in a difficult situation."

Su Mu recalled Aunt Wu, the one who raised two children and a mother-in-law alone, and who had come to their house to deliver gifts.

"Sure, you can find someone to be my wife!"

"One more thing. Our donkey cart is a little small. Should we buy a bigger one?"

The donkey cart at home was bought a long time ago, and the frame at the back is indeed a bit small.

Su Dingguo also agreed, "I'll buy a bigger frame when the time comes. In a few days, when we sell a lot of things, the space will be a little too small to be used."

"Then I'll order a few large cold noodle trays. When the weather gets cold and cold noodle is not selling well, we can also make mung bean vermicelli noodles and sell them, which can also be used."

"What is mung bean vermicelli? Is it the same as cold noodles?" The third brother was curious.

"They look similar, both are round, white and transparent."

But Liangpi is wet, while mung bean vermicelli is dry. Mung bean vermicelli can be stored for a long time, and can be eaten in winter when there are not many vegetables, but it is a little cold. "

"When eating, soak it in hot water, or boil it in water, then rinse it with cold water and mix it with cold food. It can be regarded as a cold dish. Mung bean vermicelli can also be stewed and eaten."
