The whole family travels through time and space, and the three of them struggle together

Mr. Cheng: "This wire ring is very good, and the hole punch is also good. If I want to order some wire rings and hole punches separately, can you do it?"

"Of course! I wonder how many you want to order?" Zhou Dajiang was overjoyed. At first, his daughter thought binding was too troublesome, and all the drawings had to be finished before they could be bound. The drawings were piled up everywhere. She said that if it could be like a modern coil notebook, it could be bound at any time. So, she not only tortured herself, but also her third uncle, and insisted on letting her make one before she would give up. He had no choice but to agree.

Unexpectedly, he got an order this time.

"Then make a thousand wire rings and five hole punchers first, and use them on this set of books to see how they are received. If the market acceptance is good, we can place additional orders. You have to give me a discount on the price, and the goods must be delivered as soon as possible." Old Master Cheng said, stroking his beard.

Zhou Dajiang thought about it for a while. This wire ring and hole punch are basically made in the blacksmith workshop. The hole punch needs to be assembled, but the order quantity is small, so it has basically no impact.

Moreover, at this stage, the factory's woodworking workshop and assembly workshop are mainly busy, while the blacksmith workshop is okay and has not yet reached saturation, so it is just right for processing these two products.

He also knew the price of the product. He had bought it from the factory at cost price. If he could receive large orders in the future, the profit would not have to be more than 50%. 30% would also be fine.

So he quoted a price of 1.3 times the cost price and a delivery time of 20 days.

Mr. Cheng was very satisfied with the price and delivery time. They were within his expectations. Moreover, since he was the son-in-law of his elder sister, the price would not be too outrageous. So, the two of them happily signed a purchase agreement.

Afterwards, Mr. Cheng signed an order contract with Chen's mother for the dolls and the "Wonderful Animal Kingdom" comic book.

Zhou Dajiang was overjoyed. He hadn't had anything to do with this trip, and he had considered himself a mere runner-up. Unexpectedly, he had an unexpected reward.

Mr. Cheng was also very happy. He felt that he had discovered a business opportunity. This wire ring and hole punch could be used for many books. It could also be bound into blank notebooks for use as notepads. If it could be promoted, it would definitely sell well.

He plans to wait until this batch of goods is ready to see how effective it is. If it is really useful, he will order more and send it to the main store, which will then promote it.

Chen's mother was also very satisfied. Originally, she planned to visit the embroidery workshop and sign a few more orders. However, looking at the current situation, she decided to wait and see. Moreover, it would be more effective to wait until the book is published and then take the book to negotiate.

She had over 600 orders, enough to keep them busy for a while. Once this batch of goods was finished, it wouldn't be too late to move on to the next step. Her top priority now was to get back and get the manuscript ready.

Zhou Sisi, who was being missed by Chen's mother, didn't know that her grandmother was coming back to urge her to submit her manuscript. Now, while An Ge was sleeping, she was complaining to her mother.

"This ancient toilet is so inconvenient. Even with the lid closed, it still smells when it's placed inside the house. I wish they had installed a flush toilet or a squat toilet when they built the house!"

Chen Xiuying was speechless. "I really forgot about it at the time. But even if I hadn't forgotten, I couldn't buy a squat toilet or flush toilet. And even if I bought one and installed it, I wouldn't be able to use it because there's no sewer. My family is relatively good. We have a separate toilet at the back of the house, and there's also a bathroom inside the room. I can use the one at the back during the day and the one inside at night."

Zhou Sisi was silent. She had never imagined that installing a flush toilet would be so difficult. She secretly vowed that once she made enough money, she would clear the sewer and install a flushable squat toilet or a flush toilet.

She thought for a moment and continued complaining, "It's okay if there's no flush toilet. But we have to find a way to get toothbrushes! We can use willow branches now, but what about winter?"

She is in the teething stage now, and the feeling of that willow branch stuck in her mouth...she would rather choose not to brush her teeth.

Chen Xiuying was speechless. What was wrong with her child today? What kind of a fit was that? Was she entering her rebellious teenage years early?

"We can study this. I remember reading in a book that toothbrushes were made from pig bristles or horsetails in ancient times," Chen Xiuying replied.

"Ah?" Zhou Sisi was dumbfounded. If you use pig bristles or horsetail hair to make a toothbrush, it will be so smelly and hard. Can it really clean?

Seeing Zhou Sisi's face full of doubt, Chen Xiuying smiled and explained, "It's indeed written like that. Even earlier, in the Tang Dynasty, people used cloth shaped like toothbrushes to clean their teeth."

Zhou Sisi still found it a little hard to accept, and she didn't really want to try any of these methods.

"Okay, don't think too much. When your father comes back, ask him if he has any solution." Chen Xiuying comforted him.

"You should finish the drawing first, otherwise your grandma will nag you when she comes back."

Zhou Sisi nodded helplessly, and could only endure it for the time being. She prayed silently in her heart, hoping that her father could come up with a good solution.

The next afternoon, Chen's mother and Zhou Dajiang came back, and Old Lady Cheng also came with them. Old Master Cheng had someone hire a carriage to bring the three of them back.

Zhou Sisi couldn't wait to run to Zhou Dajiang and ask him about the toothbrush.

Zhou Dajiang thought for a moment and said, "Carpenter Tian is very skilled. Perhaps we can ask him to help make some wooden toothbrushes. I'll study it later. If you have time, draw a diagram first."

Zhou Sisi's eyes lit up. It seemed like there was a way! She nodded vigorously and promised to draw it in a moment.

At this time, Chen's mother and Old Madam Cheng also got off the carriage. Zhou Dajiang hurriedly asked his daughter to pay their respects and led Old Madam Cheng into his home.

This was what Chen's mother requested. After all, the Chen family's current house was rented and there was no room for them. It just so happened that there were many empty rooms on her daughter's side, so they could be arranged to stay there.

Old Madam Cheng liked Zhou Sisi very much and held her hand all the way. How could this little girl be so smart? She was really a lovely little girl who was also good at thinking. She had also heard what she had just said to Zhou Dajiang about the toothbrush and hoped that they could research it soon.

There is no need to mention Zhou Dajiang and Chen's mother arranging the order.

After Zhou Sisi helped Old Madam Cheng settle down, she went to the study to draw. She drew the shape and details of the toothbrush according to her own ideas, and also marked the usage method.

The next morning, Zhou Sisi took the blueprint to Zhou Dajiang. After looking at it, Zhou Dajiang praised her, saying, "Not bad, you are worthy of being my daughter. I will go find Carpenter Tian and see if he can make it."

Zhou Dajiang went to Carpenter Tian's house and handed him the blueprint. Carpenter Tian took a look and said, "This thing is interesting, but I can only make the wooden handle."

Zhou Dajiang didn't ask him to make the entire toothbrush. It would be fine as long as he could make the wooden handle, and he would figure out the rest later.

After Zhou Dajiang handed the wooden handle diagram to Carpenter Tian, ​​he took some time out of his busy schedule to look up some books. It was true that there were no toothbrushes in this dynasty, so he had to find a way himself.
