Chapter 69 Toothbrush
The next day, Su Laoer and the village chief went to the county government office to apply for paperwork, and now the small slope behind the Su family became the Su family's.After arriving home, Su Laoer didn't waste any time and went to the village to find people. In half a day, he found more than a dozen strong laborers and agreed to go early tomorrow morning. Each person would be paid thirty cash a day and they would not have to eat at noon.

Everyone in the Su family is very busy every day. They really don’t have time to cook for the villagers, but the wages are high and they are allowed to go home to eat by themselves. The villagers are also used to the operation of the Su family, so they don’t think it’s a big deal .

At Mrs. Liu's house, Yu Manjiang was sitting in the yard in a daze, his eyes a little dull. Since the incident with the Su family, he had not found a job for a long time, and no one nearby would use him.I heard today that the Su family was looking for someone. Yu Manjiang was self-aware and didn't move forward. He didn't know when this kind of life would end.

As soon as Mrs. Liu entered the courtyard and saw her eldest son's cowardice, she opened her mouth to curse.

"Look at how dead you are! You've been idle at home all day, and you don't even ask if the Su family is recruiting someone now. Do you still want my old woman to pay for you? If I knew this, I would have strangled you to death when I gave birth to you." , and save food wastage.”

Yu Manjiang lowered his head and said nothing. He let his mother scold him and felt bitter in his mouth and in his heart.Yu Manjiang's wife was hiding in the house at this time, holding her belly with both hands. She hoped that the baby would be a boy, but she was afraid that it would be a boy. When her daughter grows up, she will get married, but her son will have to go to ethnic studies in the future. Spend money to find a wife for him, but her mother-in-law will not spend a penny on her family. She is going to give birth to a boy. How will she live in the future?

Mrs. Liu scolded, seeing that her eldest son was still looking like he was dying, she lost the mood of cursing, and went back to her room directly.

When Su Laoer came home, he saw his daughter whittling a piece of bamboo with a machete. He walked over and took what Su Yu had in hand.

"Daughter, this knife is no joke. Tell dad what you want to do and he will do it."

Su Yu was happy to see her father back. She really couldn't do this job, and she couldn't finish it even after cutting it for a long time.

"That's right, Dad, you do it, I want...?"

Su Yu couldn't explain it even after thinking about it, so he simply went to the study to draw pictures.

"Dad, please wait for me."

Soon Su Yu finished painting and returned.

"Dad, look at it. It can be made as big as the picture. Only the wide end needs to be punched with rows of small holes."

Punching holes in the bamboo sticks is a bit difficult, but it is not difficult for Su Lao Er.

"Okay, okay, this bamboo needs to be soaked in water, and I'll make it for you after soaking overnight."

Hearing what his father said, Su Yu felt that this would definitely happen.

"Ok."

"Girl, what are you doing?"

"A brush for brushing your teeth."

"My daughter is smart, she can think of everything."

Su Yu thought to herself, this is not what she thought, it is a necessity in modern life.

When Butcher Gao delivered the pigs the next day, he indeed brought a large bag of pig hair. Most pigs raised in ancient times were black, so this large bag of pig hair was all black, which saved the effort of picking.

As for Su Laoer, he started working on it early in the morning and now has a toothbrush handle. The main reason is that drilling holes is time-consuming.

"Mom, come here and do me a favor."

I really couldn’t do the delicate live fish, so I had to ask my mother for help.

"This kid, I don't know what he is doing."

As Lian said, she put down the pork leg in her hand, wiped her hands on her apron after washing her hands, and walked to Su Yu.

"Isn't this pig hair? What do you want it for?"

"Mom, let me tell you, I have a lot of use for this thing."

Earlier, Su Yu picked up a small handful of pig hairs in his pocket, washed them with soap, and dried them on the small bench in front of him. When Lian Shi came over, he handed over the bamboo handle in his hand.

"Mom, do you see the small holes punched in it? I want to put the two ends of ten pig hairs through the two small holes, but I can't get through."

Su Yu was very helpless even though she had a good brain and no hands.

It wasn't difficult for Lian Shi to see it.

"You wait, mother goes back to the house to get the sewing basket."

When Lianshi brought the sewing basket, he first fastened the two ends of the ten pig hairs and passed them through the small hole, but the hole was still a little loose after ten pig hairs were pierced. A small bamboo stick was inserted into the hole to fix the pig hair and prevent the pig hair from falling off.

There are 32 holes in total, and it takes time to wear pig hair. Su Yu moved a small bench and sat in front of Lianshi. A small toothbrush took about a quarter of an hour to wear, which is pretty fast. If Su Yu did it by himself, he probably wouldn't be able to do it in an hour.After the pig hair is worn and fixed, use scissors to trim the front end of the hair neatly, and a simple version of the toothbrush is ready.Su Yu smelled that there was no smell on it, so he dipped some green salt in it and rinsed his mouth. Although the feeling of using it was not comparable to modern toothbrushes, it was much better than ancient willow branches.Su Yu only hated himself for not remembering earlier that he had suffered for so long in vain.

Seeing Su Yu's look, the couple couldn't help but admire their daughter's brain. How did she come up with it? They knew at a glance that it would definitely work better than a willow branch.

"Father, mother, what do you think about me making this and selling it in the shop?"

The two nodded sharply.

"Girl, if this business can be done, those big families will definitely buy it. It's just that this thing knows how to make it at first glance, so I'm afraid it won't sell for a long time."

This is true, so Su Yu plans to do more and make a one-time deal.

"Then let's do more. If the business fails after we sell out, we won't sell it. But this work is very time-consuming. Our family definitely doesn't have time to do it. I plan to find people in the village to do it."

"Yu'er, this is a good idea. There are a lot of idle people in the village now, so there must be someone willing to do it."

After thinking it over, Su Yu went to the study and wrote a plan. She would sell a toothbrush for ten yuan a piece, and the work of cutting bamboo handles was easy, and it cost one yuan, and the one wearing pig hair was two yuan a piece. You can also do some with brushes.

Here Su Yu is making a lot of money, but Yu Zheng is having a hard time there.

"The people over there are still watching?"

"Yes, master, they don't seem to believe that master, you are engaged to a girl from the Su family."

"If they don't believe it, then I'll let them believe it."

Qinglin stood aside and did not answer.

"What are the Su family busy with these days?"

Yu Zheng was asking about the Su family, but Qinglin knew in his heart that the master was asking about Su Yu.

"I heard that the Su family opened a shop in the town, specializing in selling their own bacon, but the business was not very good."

"I just like to mess around. How much money can I make by making bacon? Which house in the village doesn't make bacon?"

Yu Zheng's thinking was similar to that of Su's second child, and he felt that Su Yu would definitely end this time.

"Let's go to Su's house and have a look."
