CH 65.1
Rows of small holes were drilled on a smooth and thick wooden board, and pig hairs were inserted one by one. After clusters of pig hairs were inserted one by one, a small brush head was formed on the bare wood board. Zhang Fangyuan tried brushing on his finger, the pig hair was hard, and the slightly pricked finger hurt a little.
After rubbing it back and forth several times to ensure that the hair wouldn’t fall out, he used another piece of wood with a small hole and inserted the horse’s tail hair.
Pig hair was easy to get. When you went to slaughter pig, you could collect it and bring it back, but there were not many horse’s tail hairs that were easy to find. Horses were more expensive and rare than pigs, and you had to go to a horse shop to get horse hair. Fortunately, their family had a horse, and this one was cut from Xiao Hei.
Horse’s tail hair was harder than pig hair, and the hair grows vigorously and long. A horse’s tail hair could be cut into a handful of small hairs.
The horse's mane was softer, softer than the pig's mane, so the holes on the wood board must be denser, otherwise if it was too soft and too sparse it couldn’t clean the teeth.
Most people from farmer houses had some craftsmanship. Zhang Fangyuan made five toothbrushes in an hour of hard work. For the sake of beauty, the end of the handle of the toothbrush was smoothed so that it didn’t look like a crude product.
"What do you think?"
When the toothbrush was finished, he took the lead to show it to Xu He.
"It looks really good, much better than willow branches." Xu He saw people cleaned the teeth with willow branches, and they bit the willow branch as thick as a little finger, dipped it in salt to scrub their teeth. He had tried it, and it also could remove the dirt on his teeth after meals.
But the willow branch was still inferior to the toothbrush made by Zhang Fangyuan. It was dabbed with Chinese honey locust powder to brush the teeth. It was softer and not easy to scratch the gums like the willow branch. It could also take care of the gaps, it was really good to use, so Xu He fell in love with it right away.
Zhang Fangyuan urged him to try the horse’s tail toothbrush, but Xu He was a little reluctant. It was a pity to use all the three, it would be best to use the other after one was broken. After all, the things stuffed into the mouth were not suitable for use by anyone other than yourself. They were very private items.
"The three are not bad. The horse's mane is the softest and most comfortable, and the horse's tail is more resilient."
Zhang Fangyuan said: "Your teeth are fine, so you can use the three toothbrushs for the difference in comfort. If the piece of meat is often red and swollen, there will inevitably a mouthful of blood foam if you use the toothbrush with horse’s tail hair and pig hair, but if you use the horse's mane it will be fine."
"In this way, all kinds of teeth are taken care of."
Zhang Fangyuan said: " In this way, the more choices, there will be more customers."
Xu He put away the two toothbrushes he had used like a treasure, and asked Zhang Fangyuan doubtfully: "Didn't you go to the carpenter's shop? I thought you will have a carpenter to help you make it."
"
That's what I planned, so I went to ask first. Either they think it's such a small effort and they don't want to do it, or they need me to pay ten cents for the work. Thinking that it's not impossible for me to do it myself, and I'm not in a hurry to go to the shop, so I just save the money and do it myself. Look, what I made by myself is not bad, but the tools are not as complete as the carpenter's shop, and the finished products are not so beautiful. "
Xu He chuckled: "You know how to be frugal."
"How could I not know, not to mention that Master Xu reminds me and teachs me everyday, and now I have to worry about saving more money for my children."
Zhang Fangyuan also gave Xu He the remaining few toothbrushes. They were all made of pig hair. He didn’t get much horse’s hair from Xiao Hei's body. He seemed fine, he didn’t know that his tail hair was cut, so he was very cooperative, but when he saw that the hair on the tail was missing, his eyes immediately bulged, and the horse’s hoof kept kicking.
"I also went to the herb shop. The herbs used to make tooth powder are expensive and cheap, but the herbs in the herbs shops are all expensive. The dried sophora flavescens costs ten copper coins a tael, and they only buy it for ten copper coins a catty from the common people, which is really black-hearted, I won’t go into details about the others, but the expensive ones like clams and wolfiporia extensa really can eat people. "
Xu He sighed: "The things in the shops in the city are not cheap. Let's buy them ourselves, and if we can't get them, we can go to the shops in the city to buy them. To make toothbrush itself is not difficult, all you need is to do it well, I think the old carpenter in our village can also do it well, and the price is not as high as the carpentry shops in the city.
"I think so too." Zhang Fangyuan said: "Then I will be in charge of purchasing herbs for tooth powder and toothbrush bristles, and you can go to the old carpenter to negotiate the price."
Xu He agreed.
Carpenter was easy to find, there was an ordinary carpenter master in the village, the villagers who could become carpenters and take over the work of the villagers were all outstanding
When he was in the Xu family, his second sister liked to be beautiful and had a lot of clothes and jewelry. Liu Xianglan cut the wood in the mountain and went to the carpenter in the village to order a cabinet. The carpenter charged some money, which was very affordable, about sixty to eighty copper coins.
If you change to a carpentry shop in the city, even if you brought the wood yourself, it would cost at least 30 to 50 copper coins more. It was even more expensive to buy the finished product in the carpentry shop. Xu He bought the finished product directly when he married Zhang Fangyuan, it costed 300 copper coins, and it was considered so cheap because the owner was someone Zhang Fangyuan knew very well, so gave him cheap price as a wedding gift.
