Jiang Ci changed the subject, "Where's Chang Feng? Did he go to work in the fields?"

Ye Shuyun: "Ah Feng, he found a job in town yesterday and can work for about ten days."

Jiang Ci asked curiously, "How much can you earn working in town for a day?"

Ye Shuyun: "The job that Ah Feng found was moving bricks in a place where people were building houses in the town. The salary was 25 cents a day, including food. As far as I know, this price is considered high for the town."

Jiang Ci also wanted to know how much the labor working in the town was worth.

Jiang Ci: "That's perfect. We can harvest the wheat right away when we come back in ten days."

Ye Shuyun: "That's just right. The wheat is growing well this year, and the harvest will definitely be no worse than in previous years."

Jiang Ci responded according to the original owner's vague memory, "That is, it snows when it should snow, and it rains when it should rain, and the harvest will definitely be good."

After shearing five sheep, they went home. They couldn't shear all the sheep at once.

The wool from these five sheep is enough to make four or five hundred toothbrushes.

When I got home, everyone was busy.

Lin Jingan walked towards them and said, "Let me see how much wool there is."

Ye Wan: "Take a look."

Lin Jingan: “So many!”

Jiang Ci: "From five sheep."

It was almost noon when the wool of the sheep picked up yesterday was used up, and it was just in time to take over the wool that had been dried this morning.

Except for noon, when Lin Jingsheng was strongly requested by Jiang Ci to take an hour nap, everyone else continued to brush their toothbrushes.

By the evening they had done 300 in total, and they kept count as they did it.

At about the same time as yesterday's stoppage, Lin Jingxuan finished counting the toothbrushes made that day, and then they worked for a while longer until they made 300.

Jiang Ci hung the kerosene lamp on the stick at the end of the bed.

The bed has detachable sticks at the four corners, and a fork in the middle to make it easier to put up a mosquito net in the summer.

Ever since Lin Jingsheng's injuries stabilized, Jiang Ci would massage his legs every night before going to bed to prevent muscle atrophy.

Not knowing where to hang the kerosene lamp, Lin Jingsheng came up with an idea to press the stick at the end of the bed and hang the lamp on it.

Jiang Ci was massaging Lin Jingsheng's legs while chatting with him.

"300 toothbrushes, 5 wen each. If we can sell them all, that would be 1500 wen."

As Jiang Ci spoke, a money-grubbing expression appeared on her face.

Lin Jingsheng thought, since Aci liked money so much, he would give more silver to Aci in the future.

Thinking of this, Lin Jingsheng regretted it.

When the general wanted to give him a box of silver, he should not have been so polite and accepted it directly.

"Aci is really amazing. The method you came up with, the toothbrushes we made in two days, earned more money than others in town could make in a month."

"Of course I'm awesome!"

Jiang Ci was so proud of himself.

Lin Jingsheng really likes Jiang Ci’s most proud look, as if it is glowing.

Lin Jingsheng's right thigh was fractured, Jiang Ci only massaged Lin Jingsheng's left leg and right calf.

Lin Jingsheng has taken good care of himself during this month and his physique is very good. The fracture in his right leg is almost healed.

Jiang Ci: "Then tomorrow morning, my parents and I will go to town to sell toothbrushes. I will prepare dinner for you before we leave. Can you wait for me at home?"

Lin Jingsheng: "Okay."

They all got up early in the morning when it was still light.

Lin Jingsheng felt the rustling sound of someone getting dressed beside him, "Aci."

Jiang Ci paused for a moment, "Hey, did I wake you up? I'll get dressed now, you can sleep a little longer."

Lin Jingsheng's five senses were already sharp, and he woke up when he noticed the movement around him.

Lin Jingsheng: "No need, I'll get up too."

Jiang Ci and Ye Wan were cooking in the kitchen while Lin Shan loaded baskets of toothbrushes onto the ox cart.

The ox cart was borrowed from the family at the east end of the village.

The sky was turning pale as they drove their ox cart towards the town.

After walking for a while, Lin Jingxuan felt sleepy again due to the swaying feeling.

Lin Jingxuan leaned into Ye Wan's arms and said, "Mom, I'm sleepy."

Ye Wan: "It's so nice to stay at home and sleep. Are you sleepy now?"

Lin Jingxuan retorted, "No! I just want to go with you. I haven't been to town for a long time."

Ye Wan wanted to leave Lin Jingxuan and Lin Jingan at home, but when they heard the noise of getting up, they all got up and wanted to follow.

There was nothing I could do, so I just let them all follow.

After a while, Lin Jingxuan fell asleep on Ye Wan's legs.

As soon as you enter Yong'an Town, on one side is a place to store ox carts, and on the other side are people carrying firewood, or carrying a basket of eggs, or some vegetables to sell.

Lin Shan drove the ox cart inside, where there were several streets dedicated to street vendors.

These streets all require stall fees, so you should park your cart first and go to a shed at the corner.

Lin Shan: "I'll rent a stall."

"Two cents for each stall, and here are some more. Take a look and see which one you want."

The signs of the remaining stalls are all placed on that table, just take whichever one you want.

They didn't arrive early, and most of the stalls had already been rented out.

Lin Shan chose a stall and registered.

The unit they rented was at the back half of the 1st Street, and Lin Shan drove the ox cart over there.

The stalls were all drawn on the ground, and I stopped when I found the number that corresponded to the sign in my hand.

Lin Jingan jumped down quickly, "73, this is it."

The stall is not big, less than two meters wide.

They unloaded the things on the ox cart, and the girl drove the ox cart to the car storage place at the city gate.

They were busy putting up the wooden boards they brought and then putting the toothbrushes on top.

Everything was ready, but Jiang Ci still didn't know how to start.

Ye Wan shouted, "Come and have a look, this is the only one of its kind in Yong'an Town. If you use our toothbrush to brush your teeth, you don't have to worry about bleeding."

"Everyone, come and take a look!"

When people on the street heard Ye Wan's cry, they came over to take a look to see what was being sold.

The stall welcomed its first customer, a young man carrying a basket, and asked, "What are you selling?"

Jiang Ci took one out and showed it to him, "A toothbrush, used for brushing teeth, is much more useful than a willow branch."

The husband was very curious and said, "This looks good."

Jiang Ci continued to promote his product, "Our toothbrush is not as astringent as willow branches when you brush your teeth with tooth powder. It can also make your teeth cleaner. This toothbrush can be used for a long time."

"What's the price of this?"

"Five coins a piece."

Hearing the price, he frowned, "Five cents can buy two meat buns."

Jiang Ci: "This is the only one in Yong'an Town. We are selling it cheaply at the beginning, but it will definitely be more expensive in the future."

Jiang Ci wanted to show him a set of engraved ones, "Look at this, a family set, with words engraved on it. A family can buy a set of this, and each one is five cents."
