Jiang Shian waved his hand and said directly without delaying everyone's meal: "I'm here to pick up the tooth powder ordered from the back. We also need to make some more. Doctor Wang, you have to work harder during this period. I'll give you an extra ten cents."

"Oh, OK, OK, of course there is no problem." Doctor Wang responded repeatedly. He just needed to prepare the medicine, grind it into powder and package it without any extra effort.

There are a lot of medicinal herbs at home. If they are not enough, Jiang Shian had told him before that he could buy some in the mountain or town. The money would be counted as Jiang Shian's, and he would be paid the money when the time came.

This business makes money faster than farming and the work is also easier. Except for the eldest son who works in the fields, everyone else in the family helps to make tooth powder.

He was happy to accept the job because it was a hassle-free and profitable business. He also paid more attention to the tooth powder and gave a lot of suggestions.

Jiang Shian paid the balance of the tooth powder he bought last time, and half of the money he earned this time. He declined everyone's enthusiastic invitation to have dinner with him, and hurried home with his things.

It was already getting dark. There was already a faint moonlight shining on the ground. In another stick of incense, it would probably be completely dark.

Jiang Shian was carrying his things and walking home. On the way, many people in the village saw him and greeted him with a smile.

The news that he opened a shop in the town has spread all over the village. Regardless of whether the business is good or bad, he must have a lot of money at home to open a shop. Such a person should not be offended. If there is a problem at home, he can come to ask for help.

"Hey, Shi An is back. You guys have been in town for a day, right? How's business going? Have you sold everything?"

"Yes, yes. I saw you guys taking stuff to town this morning. You had a full cart and now you're carrying another box. You must have made a lot of money. We're really envious. We work hard all day and I'm afraid we can't even make enough to make a fraction of what you make."

There were quite a lot of people around, so Jiang Shian put down his things and took a break.

He didn't show off too much, but just replied calmly: "Aunts, this is only the first day of opening. It's good enough if we can sell a little. How can we make money? This is not farming or anything like that. If I don't find a business, I may have trouble making a living in the future."

The people around had embarrassed looks on their faces and laughed a few times.

I didn't expect that this guy was so tight-lipped, and I couldn't get anything out of him.

"It's getting late. Aunties, please go home and have dinner. I have to go back too. I have been busy all day and haven't had a meal yet."

Jiang Shian picked up the wooden box on the ground again and spoke to everyone.

The people who came forward were bored. After hearing this, they did not stay any longer and went home.

We are all neighbors, so you can find an excuse to visit each other someday, so that it won't be a lack of friendship.

Jiang Shian put the things in the side room. This side room was specially cleaned up to store these things. In the corner, there were also many small bamboo jars made of pig hair and horse bristles for tooth powder.

After collecting some things, he closed the door and left the yard.

Fortunately, he had cut a lot of grass yesterday, otherwise there would be no fresh grass to feed the chickens and ducks. He threw some grass from the basket to the chickens and ducks, and then went back to the kitchen.

It seems that he and Ji Yinghuai will have to work separately tomorrow. The shop cannot be short of people. Many people must have gone back to try out the products tonight, and there will be even more people tomorrow.

There are also many things to do at home. The vegetable seedlings planted in the yard have all grown. There are so many chickens and ducks that we need to build a fence to keep them away, otherwise they will eat the vegetables.

Wait for Ji Yinghuai to come back and discuss who will go to the shop tomorrow. Anyway, he has seen it clearly today. He originally thought that a man of noble status would definitely not be able to sell things.

I didn't expect that after a day, although I was a little awkward at the beginning and had a sullen face when soliciting customers, I seemed to get used to it later and my introduction was quite reasonable.

Thinking of the man working with a sour face, Jiang Shian couldn't help but laugh out loud.

The bones stewing on the stove were already bubbling, and as soon as the lid of the pot was opened, the aroma of meat wafted out.

Jiang Shian picked it up with chopsticks and found it was still a little hard. He had to stew it for a while longer. It had to be able to fall off the bones in one sip so that it would taste good.

He didn't put any spices in the soup. After buying the bones and washing them, they didn't smell fishy at all, so he skipped the step of removing the fishy smell. He just washed them, put them in a pot, sprinkled salt on them, and started stewing.

Later he will make some fermented bean curd and dip it in the water, which you can eat directly or with a dip.

The rice on the other stove was also cooked. Jiang Shian wrapped it in a cloth and brought it aside, then put on the wok and started cooking.

I came back a little late, and it was completely dark now. We lit oil lamps in the house. Oil lamps were not as good as modern electric light bulbs, so I could only see the approximate range.

Heat the oil in the pan, add dried chili peppers, ginger, and bean sprouts washed and drained from a wooden basin, then pour in the bean sprouts and stir-fry.

This kind of mung bean sprouts is grown at home, and it is very fragrant when fried. He bought a lot and decided to eat two more meals.

Just as I put the fried bean sprouts into the bowl, I heard someone opening the door in the yard.

Jiang Shian poured a bucket of water into the pot and stood by the door to look. Sure enough, Ji Yinghuai came back.

The man was holding a large wooden box in his hands, which should contain finished toothbrushes.

After lighting an oil lamp, he took the oil lamp and put the things in the wing room with Ji Yinghuai. In addition to the toothbrush, there was also a large wooden box in the carriage, which contained small jars for tooth powder. Carpenter Yang had already made them.

"Is it going well?" he asked.

Ji Yinghuai nodded and opened the top of the wooden box. "I have checked it and it is the same as before. There is no problem. Doctor Wang heard that we need it urgently, so he asked a few people in the village to help. He told us to pick it up in two days."

"Yeah, okay." Jiang Shian casually flipped through the finished toothbrush to make sure there was no problem, then closed the box. The two of them went out to the yard.

Seeing that the moon was almost at its zenith, Jiang Shian patted Ji Yinghuai on the shoulder and said, "Go wash your hands first. You've been tired all day. We'll have dinner soon."

Ji Yinghuai paused for a moment, reached out his hand and tried to pat his shoulder, and said with a smile: "I'm tired, aren't you tired too? I'll wash my hands and come to help you light the fire."

Seeing that the young man did not avoid his actions, Ji Yinghuai's smile deepened. Although he knew that the other party did not regard him as a young man or a man at all, he was still somewhat happy that such an intimate action was not rejected.
