Chapter 52: Order toothbrushes and tooth powder again

Before I entered Doctor Wang's house, I smelled a strong herbal scent as soon as I got near it. It was not unpleasant, and there was also a light mint scent.

Everyone in the village knew that Jiang Shian had opened a shop in the town, and Doctor Wang from their village helped to make the tooth powder. It was said that he was paid three taels of silver in one lump sum.

That was their annual harvest, and many people were jealous. But there was nothing they could do, as they didn't know how to grind the medicine, so they could only gossip about it behind their backs.

A young man actually opened a shop to do business, which was something I had never heard of. I heard that he rarely went to town. I guess his business was not going well. I don’t know how much he lost. Only Doctor Wang was willing to take this business, otherwise the fields would be abandoned and he would not have enough food to eat.

Jiang Shian didn't know about these gossips, but even if he did, he would just roll his eyes and not care at all.

But when Doctor Wang's family heard someone say that Jiang Shi'an was not a good person, everyone from Doctor Wang to his grandson immediately responded without any hesitation.

Jiang Shian was warmly invited into the house and sat down. He said hello and explained the purpose of his visit without further ado.

I thought the old doctor would be a little nervous about making so much tooth powder at one time, but unexpectedly, Doctor Wang kept smiling and nodding: "Okay, okay, no problem at all. Shi An, you need so much again, but your business in town is good?"

They would record the number of each batch they made, and so far they had made more than 3,600 copies, with more than 700 boxes still in the house. Now there were so many again, and they couldn't even imagine how many copies they had sold.

Jiang Shian nodded and said briefly, "During the big market yesterday, most people in town had sold out. I want to store more in the shop. I wonder if it will be too much trouble for you."

"Oh, no, no." Doctor Wang waved his hands quickly, and the others who were grinding medicine powder nearby also shook their heads.

"The tools are all ready-made. We have plenty of medicinal herbs at home. It's not a big job to grind them, sift them and put them into boxes. Don't worry." Doctor Wang hesitated and looked at him with hesitation.

Jiang Shian smiled and said, "Doctor Wang, if you have anything to say, please feel free to tell me."

"Shi An, don't blame me for being too talkative. Although my family wants to make money, you have to make so much at once. If you stockpile too much, it will be a waste if you can't sell it."

Jiang Shian's smile deepened, and he said in a relaxed tone, "Don't worry, Doctor Wang. This time we are selling the goods to passing merchants, so you don't have to worry about not being able to sell them."

He knew that the other party was reminding him like this for his own good, so the smile on his face became more sincere.

When Doctor Wang heard what was going on, he nodded in relief.

Their family didn't have much land, and they had already finished planting seedlings and vegetables two days ago. Now the whole family is working hard on this tooth powder, working with full enthusiasm and moving quickly.

After explaining this to Doctor Wang, he still had to go to Taohua Village to find Carpenter Yang and say hello.

It takes half an hour by carriage and more than an hour to walk.

He did not delay any longer and went back home to get a light bamboo basket and rushed to Taohua Village.

Last time I encountered a lot of wild fruits and vegetables on the road, but I only picked the ripe ones. This time I guess the rest will be riper. If I come back early, I can pick some to take home and eat.

Walking is not as comfortable as sitting in a carriage. At least when the horse runs, you can feel the cool breeze.

Jiang Shian picked a large leaf from the roadside and put it on his head. He felt that the sun was even hotter today than yesterday. If he had known earlier, he would have asked Ji Yinghuai to ride a horse to take him here first.

Except for the occasional bird calls, there is only silence in the forest.

He was bored walking alone, so he picked up a piece of dogtail grass and held it in his mouth, humming as he walked, "I am a big bear, a big bear..."

After a lot of effort, he arrived at Taohua Village and followed the path he took to get on the bus to the door of Carpenter Yang's house. He looked inside but saw no one inside. He called out twice but no one responded. He was so tired that he leaned against the wall and gasped for breath.

Last time I came here, there were only a few peach trees and lush vegetable fields in the yard of Carpenter Yang's house. There was a large empty space in the middle, but now it was filled with various woodworking tools.

After waiting for a while, no one came back. It was then that a neighbor came out and told him that Carpenter Yang had just gone to the fields with a bamboo basket.

Jiang Shi'an wailed in his heart, said something to his neighbor, and prepared to try his luck in the field where Carpenter Yang took them to buy peach trees last time.

I hope Carpenter Yang is around that field, otherwise he doesn’t know where the other fields are.

Fortunately, he was lucky this time. When he was halfway there, he ran into Carpenter Yang who was carrying a basket of peach blossoms.

The other party was also stunned when he saw him, and then apologized, "Sorry, sir, you are here to get the remaining boxes! I have prepared them all."

Having made the customer wait for so long, he felt a little guilty and fearful, fearing that Jiang Shian would stop ordering from him because of this.

Jiang Shian noticed the awkwardness on his face, waved his hand, and said nonchalantly: "It's okay, I just got here too, Carpenter Yang is going to pick peach petals!"

The two turned back and walked home. Carpenter Yang explained to him, "My old mother wanted to eat this peach blossom soup. A few days ago, there was a strong wind and most of the peach blossoms in the field had fallen. So I went up the mountain to pick some and brought them back."

Jiang Shian nodded. Carpenter Yang was truly a filial person.

"I came to you this time to order 4,000 bamboo boxes."

"Four thousand?" Carpenter Yang paused, surprised by the number. He looked at Jiang Shian uncertainly.

Jiang Shian nodded to him and spoke again: "That's a lot."

Carpenter Yang nodded blankly before agreeing.

This guy is really amazing. He has done so much in this period of time. I think the business in town will be good.

All the boys in this village help with cooking, washing clothes and embroidering at home, but this boy is different. Not only does he rely entirely on himself, he also runs his business well.

He had studied in school, and he did not have the old-fashioned ideas like other people in the village, who thought that boys and girls should stay at home to take care of their husbands and children and do embroidery.
