Beautiful Peasant Girl: The Young Marquis's Beloved
Chapter 214 Today is Better than Yesterday
After seeing Liu Dahai off, Liu Xu practiced calligraphy for another half an hour. After putting away his pen, he rubbed his sore wrist and sighed.
Writing calligraphy is really tiring. She now misses the hard pen she used in her previous life very much.
Put all the things away and take them to Ye Miaoyin for inspection.
"Well, it's an improvement over yesterday. Let's continue tomorrow!" Ye Miaoyin took it, looked at it, and nodded. Although her face looked indifferent, there was a hint of satisfaction in her eyes.
This little apprentice has good talent in both martial arts and calligraphy, but she is a bit lazy. Martial arts is fine, but as for calligraphy, you can tell from her attitude of working hard for three days and resting for two days.
"Yes, Master, you go ahead and do your work. I'll leave first!" After saying that, he prepared to leave.
When Ye Miaoyin saw it, a smile flashed in her eyes and she nodded lightly.
Xu Ruolan took people to the county town to prepare for the home textile store, and Han Duoduo went with them, under the pretext of protecting her aunt.
Ye Miaoyin wanted to supervise Liu Xu in practicing martial arts and calligraphy, so she took Liu Xu home with her.
Xu Ruolan only took Zi Ling and Yue Niang away, while Zi Mo and Aunt Lin were both at home. Liu Xu came out of the master's room and went to find Aunt Lin.
"Aunt Lin, where is the pig hair I asked someone to leave behind before the New Year?"
"They are all in the utility room at the back. Miss, do you need them now?" Aunt Lin asked after putting down what she was doing.
"Yes, please help me bring them to the yard. Just let the ones I asked you to dry separately." He paused and said, "Well, please call Brother He Lei for me."
Aunt Lin agreed when she heard it, and Liu Xu asked Qiao Yun to call Qiao Yu and Huan Xi over.
Several people arrived quickly. Liu Xu asked He Lei to find some wood, and asked Qiao Yun to get the needle and thread from the house.
Then he showed the previously drawn drawings to a few people.
After a while, He Lei was responsible for polishing the wood blocks, while the others were smoothing and tying them, and they were very busy.
By the time the sun went down, the pig hair on the table had finally run out, and in its place, there were a bunch of small and large brushes.
The master and the servant rubbed their arms. He Lei asked as he rubbed his arms, "Miss, what are these things used for?"
Liu Xu picked up a small brush, grabbed the handle of the brush, and said proudly: "This is the toothbrush I invented. In the future, I don't need willow branches to brush my teeth and rinse my mouth!"
"Toothbrush? Made of pig hair?" He Lei frowned, looking a little disgusted.
"Oh, what's the matter? I tell you, this thing is better than that willow stick, and it cleans better!"
"But...but this is pig hair, so..." He Lei hesitated to speak.
Willow Catkins rolled her eyes at him. "What's wrong with pig hair? These pig hairs have been washed several times and boiled in boiling water. They are much cleaner than willow branches."
"No matter how many times you wash it, it still can't change the fact that it's pig hair." He Lei muttered softly.
Liu Xu ignored him and planned to try the new toothbrush.
"Then Miss, what are these big ones used for?" Huan Xi asked curiously.
"These can be used to wash clothes and shoes. It saves effort than rubbing with your hands, and it's cleaner." After saying that, Liu Xu asked Qiaoyu and the others to put away everything, and she went to the bathroom with a toothbrush.
He Lei couldn't enter Liu Xu's room, so he waited at the door.
Soon after, I heard Huanxi's voice, "Wow, miss, really, this is much better than willow branches."
"Of course, how could your young lady lie to you?" Liu Xu's voice sounded a little arrogant.
"Yeah! Miss is the best. She never lies to Huanxi." Huanxi said happily.
"Miss, then these toothbrushes belong to us?" Qiao Yun asked.
"Yes, you have all used it, so how can you give it to others? Put it away, we will all use it in the future."
"Thank you for the reward, Miss!"
The chirping sounds in the room made He Lei curious, and he couldn't help asking, "Qiaoyu, is this toothbrush made by Miss really that useful?"
The door creaked open from the inside, Qiaoyu picked up a toothbrush and threw it to He Lei, "Is it okay? Can't you go back and try it yourself?"
He Lei stretched out his arm and took it, then shouted to the room, "Miss, I will go and try it right away. Thank you, Miss!"
After saying that, he ran away in a flash.
As a result, at dinner time in the evening, everyone in the Liu family knew that their young lady had made something good again, but it was not for eating, but for use.
However, Liu Xu didn't have the heart to care about these things at the moment. She took four toothbrushes, packed them, and took Qiao Yun to the East Courtyard.
Since Mr. Xu came back, the old couple moved to the east courtyard with Mr. and Mrs. Xu Hean.
This time, because Xu Ruolan went out to do some business, the two children were sent to their grandparents' home.
The two Dun'er were weaned from breast milk a few days ago because the wild sheep in the family gave birth to lambs. So the little guys started living on goat's milk and complementary food.
Yuandun'er has a small tooth coming out, and he likes to chew things even more recently. Fatty'er and he chews on anything they can get their hands on.
Nanny Chun went to the kitchen and made some rice cakes for the two of them. Liu Xu secretly tasted one and her teeth were broken.
When she poured it, the old couple had just fed the two children with goat milk. When they saw Liu Xu coming in, they smiled lovingly.
"Why are you here at this hour? We're going to eat up front soon," Xu Yiru asked with a smile.
Liu Xu took her brother from her grandfather and said, "Hey, I brought something good for grandpa and grandma."
Qiao Yun cleverly handed the toothbrush in her hand to Xu Yiru with both hands, and Old Madam Xu's attention was also attracted.
The toothbrush was in a box that her uncle had left behind when he bought something for her. It fit perfectly in the box.
Xu Yiru took the box, opened it, and looked at the contents with some curiosity: "What is this?
He asked as he picked up the toothbrush inside.
"Hey, grandpa and grandma, this is called a toothbrush. As the name suggests, it is used for brushing teeth. It is better than willow twigs!" Liu Xu said while teasing Fatty.
Upon hearing this, Xu Yiru looked at the things in his hand and went to the bathroom without saying a word.
Soon, the old man came out. Meeting his wife's puzzled look, he laughed out loud, "Hahaha, your brain is much more useful than your uncles. If grandpa is not mistaken, this is made of pig hair, right?"
Liu Xu nodded, "Grandpa and grandma, I have tried it. It is not only easy to use, but also can be recycled."
"You're right. These things can be said to be a no-cost business, but I suggest you set the price a bit lower. Then you can make a lot of profit by selling at a low price and making a large volume of sales!" said Mr. Xu, stroking his beard.
Liu Xu naturally had no objection.
