Everyone looked at her, and Li Cai couldnât help but nod, âIndeed, your teeth are whiter than before, and they are quite neat, looking clean and not dirty.â
âThatâs right. Itâs all thanks to this medicinal mud toothpaste.â Su Qingyue proudly showed off and then spoke to Ding Er, âDing Er, didnât you ask me if Chuan dared to kiss me? To be honestâ¦
Looking saddened, âIn the past, he didnât dare. Even if I was killed, he wouldnât kiss me, saying that I smelled. But since I started using the medicinal mud toothpaste, my breath doesnât smell at all, just like Li familyâs second son said, it even has a faint fragrance. Yuchuan loves to kiss me now. He even said my mouth tastes sweet.â
She hadnât actually kissed Xiao Yuchuan at all.
Anyway, she was Yuchuanâs wife, so bragging a bit wouldnât hurt.
Of course, she didnât know that Xiao Yuchuan kissed her when she had a fever that night.
âHaha, wife of the Xiao Family, you really arenât shy at all, â Ding Er laughed.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
The faces of the other villagers also showed amusement.
âIâm an honest person, but since Ding Er asked, Iâm just answering,â Su Qingyue this time changed her expression to one of regret, âI spent several taels of silver to make this medicine and put in quite a bit of effort. I made a jar of it for my own use, but I urgently needed money. The road to the town is so far. Itâs too hard for me, a woman, to carry the jar to town. So, I figured if anyone in the village wants to buy it, Iâll sell it at a lower price. I see a lot of yellow teeth in the village, and this medicinal mud toothpaste is a great product. Using a willow twig to clean teeth with the medicinal paste mixed with water, after cleaning, the teeth are incredibly refreshed. With long-term use, not only can it keep teeth clean and white, but even those with constant toothaches wonât feel pain as muchâ¦â
She talked about the merits of brushing teeth so passionately that those who listened couldnât help but be moved.
Ding Er was the first to ask, âWife of the Xiao Family, this⦠what is this called?â
âMedicinal mud toothpaste. Originally it was just medicinal mud paste, but I added the word âtoothâ for teeth cleaning.â
âThe name is quite fitting. How much does it cost?â
Su Qingyue had thought about the price long ago. This toothpaste was made with inexpensive materials that she gathered herself and was an essential item for daily life. If she wanted a long-term business, she couldnât sell it for a high price. Moreover, the village was remote, and most of the villagers were poor, so if the price was too high, no one would buy it.
Sheâs in urgent need of money, or else she wouldnât be bragging about this,
âThree cents for a spoonful of paste.â
âThatâs so expensiveâ¦â Qian Duotianâs wife, Qian Zhangshi, had been watching for a while. She had a mouthful of yellow teeth, and her husband couldnât stand it anymore. She was worried about not having anything to clean her teeth with.
âThis is a medicinal mud toothpaste made with a lot of expensive ingredients. A spoonful of paste could last a person for half a month. If youâre thrifty, it could last a whole month of teeth cleaning. How about this: buy two spoonfuls for four cents.â Su Qingyue showed a pained expression, âIâm selling it at a loss, and I canât go any lower. Iâm really short on cash, otherwise, I really wouldnât want to sell it.â
âIs it really effective? Can it really last for a whole month?â
âTalking about it isnât enough. Let the facts speak.â Su Qingyue took out a few willow twigs, about the same length and thickness as chopsticks, from the basket and handed one to Qian Zhangshi.
She then took out the water pot from the basket and poured a bowl of clear water, which she also handed to Qian Zhangshi.
Next, she took a clean leaf from the thick stack of leaves, rolled it into the shape of a pointed rice dumpling, scooped a spoonful of medicinal mud toothpaste inside, and told Qian Zhangshi, âBite down on one end of the willow twig, dip it in the toothpaste, mix with water, and clean your teeth. To clean your teeth, rub the twig left and right, up and down, and inside and outsideâ¦.â
