Travel to ancient times and become rich women with your bestie

After laughing, the two couldn't wait to try it out to see how effective it was, only to realize they didn't have a toothbrush.

Making a toothbrush is not difficult. Just drill a few holes in the polished wood and thread horsehair or pig bristle through them.

The wood chips are easy to find. The most suitable ones are bamboo chips. There are plenty of bamboos in the back mountain. But the bristles are hard to find. In this era, only wealthy families can use horses. I'm afraid they have never seen one in their village. Every family has pigs, but the problem is that no one in the village is slaughtering pigs now, so where can they get them?

The two looked at each other and walked towards the pigpen in the backyard, but the two little pigs were frightened and hid in the corner when they saw them. Zheng Yuan tried to get closer and was almost knocked over in the shit by the pigs.

Finally, the two of them had to withdraw in dismay. Forget it, let's go to the market tomorrow and ask the butcher for some. It's not worth it to sleep in shit for such a small amount of hair.

The two returned to the front yard and planned to cut some bamboo and make the toothbrush handles first. They would be able to make toothbrushes when they came back with the bristles tomorrow.

They went back to the kitchen to get the hatchet, and then they led Sizhu to the back mountain. Sanni stayed at home to knead the ice jelly, and when they came back, the ice jelly would be almost ready to eat.

Sizhu's favorite thing was to play around in the mountains and rivers with his friends. No one knew what was on the mountain better than him. He led the two of them around in circles and soon arrived in front of a bamboo forest.

Looking at the large bamboo forest, the two men only regretted that it was not the right time, otherwise the stir-fried bamboo shoots with meat would have been so delicious. Now they could only cut a bamboo to use.

Soon a bamboo was cut, but it was easy to cut it, but it was difficult to pull it down. The leaves on the tip of the bamboo were entangled with the surrounding bamboo forest, and the two people took great pains to pull it down. The two did not trim the bamboo leaves, thinking that they could take them back and dry them to start a fire.

The mountain road was winding and rugged, and there were dense weeds all around. The two men dragged a long bamboo and walked along the mountain road with difficulty. It took them almost an hour to return to the village.

Sitting on the ground, looking at the bamboo pole whose leaves had long been scraped off by the weeds on the roadside, the two looked at each other, their eyes asking each other if the other was mentally ill. I don't know what they were thinking at the time, it would be better to shave it clean and cut it off and bring it back instead of dragging this long bamboo pole.

It was already noon, and the two were not in a hurry to get the toothbrush handles. They just got the ice jelly and ate it first.

Sanni had already prepared the ice jelly and was cooling it in water. Now all she had to do was boil the sugar and make the ice. Zheng Yuan was in charge of boiling the sugar, while Duan Minmin was in charge of making the ice, and it would be ready soon.

Zheng Yuan gave Sanni about a pound of ice jelly seeds. Today's ice jelly was enough to fill her up. The four of them drank until their bellies were full, and there was still a lot left.

Zheng Yuan mixed jelly, ice and brown sugar together and divided it into four portions. She asked Sanni to deliver it to Dashu and his men and Grandpa Chen's family, and asked Sizhu to deliver it to Taoer and her sisters. She then went to the Chen family's old house with Duan Minmin.

Firstly, the backpack she borrowed yesterday had not been returned yet, and secondly, she and Amin had taken a fancy to the old dry toilet in the Chen family. The Chen family was large, and the house had been built a long time ago. Who knew how much saltpeter had been precipitated from the toilet and pigpen? That was a lot of money.

The two of them were holding basins of jelly, one carrying a backpack and the other holding a bucket, and they were happily walking towards the Chen family's old house.

The door of the Chen family's old house was not locked. They looked inside through the fence and saw the old lady mending clothes facing the sun.

Out of politeness, the two knocked on the door. Old Mrs. Chen walked towards the door in confusion. How could there be such a polite person in this village?

When she opened the door, she saw Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin standing at the door with backpacks and buckets on their backs, smiling at her. She almost fainted from fright.

What is going on? Are these two evil men, a female and a female, joining forces to take advantage of us?

The old lady turned pale with fright, but the two of them couldn't read her expression.

Zheng Yuan smiled and called out to the old lady, "Mom!" and walked inside.

Duan Minmin was also a polite child, and followed Zheng Yuan in calling out, "Mom!"

Seeing Old Lady Chen looking at her in horror, she realized that she had called out to the wrong person following Yuan Bao, and hurriedly smiled and said, "Auntie Chen! Have you eaten?"

Old Mrs. Chen thought to herself, are you asking about the morning or the afternoon?

The two of them entered the yard, and before Old Lady Chen had the time to ask them what they were doing, she suddenly found a basin in her hand, which was icy cold.

"Mom, this is the ice jelly we sell. I made some today and I'll give you some to try."

Old Mrs. Chen looked down and was surprised to see both ice and brown sugar. It seemed that the second son's wife really didn't take money seriously.

"Second son's wife, how can we eat this? Take it back and sell it for money." Old Mrs. Chen said as she hurriedly pushed the basin into her hands.

Zheng Yuan couldn't bear to hear the old man say this.

"Mom, what's edible and what's not. Everything is edible once it's made. It doesn't make sense that your family can't eat what you make. Besides, this will melt if you don't eat it. I can't sell it on the street. Just think of it as not wasting anything and eat it quickly."

As they were pushing the basin into the old lady's arms, a door suddenly opened. The three of them turned around and saw Wang Yulian, the wife of Chen Jiadong's second son, looking at Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin with a puzzled look on her face.

She was coaxing her six-month-old son to sleep in the house when she suddenly heard a commotion in the yard. It sounded like the voices of her second aunt and grandmother. She thought it was her second aunt who came to beat her, so she got up and opened the door, but it didn't look like a fight.

Although she had been married for a short time, she had heard of her second aunt's great reputation. Although family members had been saying that her second aunt had changed in the past two days, this was the first time she had seen her change, and for a moment she didn't know how to react.

Seeing her standing there in a daze, Old Lady Chen hurriedly greeted her: "Why did Yulian come out? Is Dandan asleep? It just so happens that your second aunt brought some ice jelly. The child is asleep, come and have some."

After hearing what Zheng Yuan said, Mrs. Chen was relieved. She ate it as a gift from her daughter-in-law. That day, she heard the old man say how delicious the ice jelly that the second son's wife brought to the field was, how cold and smooth it was, and she was craving it for most of the night.

Wang Yulian hurriedly took out four bowls from the kitchen, scooped up some ice jelly and handed it to the old lady first, and then handed the second bowl to Zheng Yuan.

Zheng Yuan waved his hand quickly: "You guys eat, we've already eaten at home."

Seeing that she didn't take it, Wang Yulian handed the ice jelly to Duan Minmin again. Duan Minmin said the same thing, so she took her hand back and drank the ice jelly in small sips.

After finishing a bowl, both of them couldn't help but sigh that this ice jelly is really a good thing. After drinking this bowl, every part of your body feels cool and refreshing. Reluctantly putting down the bowl, they planned to run to the field to deliver the rest to the people working in the field.

Seeing that the two of them put down their bowls yet were still unsatisfied, Zheng Yuan knew what they were thinking.

"Mom, I asked Sanni to deliver the crops from the field to Dad and the others. These are all for you. There is enough for you."

What? They also sent it to the fields?

"Oh, second son's wife, this must be a lot of money! There's brown sugar and ice, all expensive stuff. How are you going to sell them if we eat them all? Child, those who work in the fields can just drink some to cool off, why did you send it to us? This is not a lot of money, and you sent it from the fields. I'm afraid you've spent more than ten cents on it today!" The old lady looked regretful for having spent a lot of money, and Wang Yulian was a little at a loss.

Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin looked at each other and sighed, and it came again.

"Mom, the things I make are not valuable. Since you have brought them here, you can drink them without worry. If you feel bad about it, then you can lend me your toilet."
