Last night, Rongguo Mansion held a banquet for Jia Yun to celebrate Jia Yun's high school martial arts achievement.
However, Jia Yun's mother didn't look good on him when he had the feast this time.
Because Jia's mother was depressed, she rarely acted as a matchmaker and assigned Qin Keqing, an official's daughter who was as beautiful as a fairy and had a pleasant personality, to Jia Yun, but Jia Yun actually refused.
Although Jia Zheng had already said some kind words for Jia Yun in front of Jia Mu, Jia Mu could understand Jia Yun's thoughts and believed that Jia Yun was indeed still young and had to continue martial arts, so it was not a good time to get engaged or marry a wife.
, but Jia Mu is still inevitably depressed.
However, when Jia Yun invited Jia Mu to have a banquet at his house at noon the next day, Jia Mu still agreed.
…
…
The next day, Jia Yun got up early and went to the Qiwenwu flagship store on Guozijian Street to find Cheng Huanian.
Nowadays, the relationship between Jia Yun and Cheng Huanian is even closer. They are not only close business partners, but also close friends who have been friends for many years.
On the one hand, the two of them cooperated happily in the "Dragon Babu" and pencil businesses, and both made a lot of money.
On the other hand, since Jia Yun was promoted to the Imperial Academy in the second half of last year, it has become more convenient to meet with Cheng Huanian, and they have met more often.
This time Jia Yun approached Cheng Huanian, who, as usual, gave him fifty taels of silver as a gift for his high school Wu Jieyuan.
Immediately, the two went to Dongsuier Hutong, located on the south side of Andingmen West Street.
Originally, Cheng Huanian only opened a book printing factory in Dongsuier Hutong.
Later, Jia Yun and Cheng Huanian invested together and bought an old courtyard house in Dongsuier Hutong and converted it into a factory for manufacturing pencils, colored pencils, pencil sharpeners, and pencil erasers.
And just a few months ago, the two invested together and bought an old courtyard house in Dongguier Hutong, and converted it into a factory. This time they manufactured toothbrushes, toothpaste, dental floss, and toothpicks!
At the end of last year, Jia Yun had already planned to implement the third method of making money.
The third way to make money is to make toothbrushes, toothpaste, dental floss, and toothpicks!
Jia Yun was not a mysophobic person in his previous life, but he paid attention to personal hygiene. Ever since he traveled through time, he has always felt awkward about brushing his teeth in this world.
Even wealthy families like Rong Guofu only use a simple toothbrush and green salt to brush their teeth. This method of brushing has limited effect, so the teeth of middle-aged women like Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang are already ugly...
In order to make money, Jia Yun wants to keep her mouth clean, and also so that the golden hairpins in the Red Mansion World can clean their mouths better in the future, so that they will not have ugly teeth in their thirties or forties, uh...
So Jia Yun wanted to make toothbrushes and toothpaste!
Jia Yun then thought that since she wanted to make toothbrushes and toothpaste, she might as well make dental floss and toothpicks.
There is a tooth-picking tool in this red-mansion world. This tool is called a tooth-picking stick. However, the tooth-picking stick is not as easy to use as the modern toothpick.
It is even written in the original work that once Wang Xifeng stepped on the threshold and picked his ears and teeth with a pick...
In his previous life, Jia Yun had read in a book how to make toothbrushes, toothpaste, dental floss, and toothpicks. With his strong memory, he could remember these methods. In addition, he had strong research and development capabilities, and he was a craftsman in this world.
Jia Yun made toothbrushes, toothpastes, dental floss, and toothpicks at a very high level.
The toothbrushes, dental floss, and toothpicks made by Jia Yun are almost the same as the modern versions of the previous life.
I just encountered big difficulties when it came to toothpaste.
Jia Yun is currently unable to create a modern version of toothpaste because there is no baking soda in the world.
When Jia Yun originally made pencil erasers, he used other materials instead because there was no baking soda.
So Jia Yun spent many days and after many experiments, she created a simple version of toothpaste.
Jia Yun believes that these gadgets will be able to sell well and make money in this world.
The reason actually does not need to be explained. It is a very simple truth. Once such progressive and practical daily necessities are manufactured, they will definitely sell well.
And Jia Yun believes that this toothbrush and other businesses will be much more profitable than the previous pencil and other businesses!
Because there are only a limited number of people writing in this world, and there is strong resistance from the writing brush, and everyone needs to brush their teeth, and many people need to use dental floss and toothpicks.
In pencil and other businesses, Jia Yun's goal is that she and Cheng Huanian can each earn tens of thousands or even tens of thousands of taels in the next ten years.
As for this toothbrush and other business, Jia Yun's goal is that she and Cheng Huanian can each earn tens of thousands or even one hundred thousand taels in the next ten years.
This is because the technological content of toothbrushes and other products is not very high. Once they sell well, it is inevitable that other businessmen will ask craftsmen to develop research and development. Many of these businessmen will have the backends of dignitaries, and even the emperor's internal affairs office may be involved.
Come in.
If only Jia Yun and Cheng Huanian were engaged in toothbrush and other business, then Jia Yun would probably become a millionaire in this world based on this business alone.
Jia Yun can't stop this kind of thing, but if he can earn tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of taels through toothbrushes and other products in the next ten years, he will be satisfied.
He still has many other ways to make money, many of which are high-tech and have huge benefits!
For example, he was proficient in military research and development technology in his previous life, but he still doesn't dare to touch this thing now, and he doesn't know when he will dare to touch it.
Another example is the baking soda mentioned above. Jia Yun can figure out the alkali production method in advance. This thing has a high technological content and involves huge interests. Jia Yun is not suitable to touch it now.
For example, the benefits of perfumes and cosmetics mentioned above are also huge, and Jia Yun is not suitable to touch them now.
…
…
Now, Jia Yun and Cheng Huanian came to Dongsui'er Hutong together and walked into a factory that manufactures toothbrushes and other products.
The factory has already produced the first batch of products.
Jia Yun looked at it carefully and felt satisfied.
Cheng Huanian once again admired Jia Yun's ancient genius.
Jia Yun then left in a carriage with a large number of toothbrushes, toothpaste, dental floss, and toothpicks, and bought dozens of exquisite wooden boxes on the way.
After returning to the mansion, Jia Yun went directly to Bu Wuniang's inner courtyard on West Road and asked Bu Wuniang, Xiren, Zijuan, Qingwen and Liu Wuer to put toothbrushes and other products into exquisite wooden boxes.
, that is, packaging!
During the process, Jia Yun introduced and demonstrated these products to everyone.
Xiren, Qingwen, and Liu Wuer were all amazed, and they all admired Jia Yun even more.
At noon, a banquet was held at Jia Yun's house. Today, some people from Rongguo Mansion and the Jia family were invited, including Jia Mu, Jia Zheng, Mrs. Wang, Li Wan, Wang Xifeng, Sanchun, Yuanyang, Qianxue, etc.
wait.
Lin Daiyu also came, and Jia Baoyu followed.
It is worth mentioning that Mrs.
I wish, but I don't dare to resist Jia Mu's order for such a trivial matter.
Most of the visitors this time also brought congratulatory gifts and gifts.
Men and women had separate banquets. The men gathered in the hall on the middle road, while the women gathered in Jia Yun's five upper rooms. The former belonged to the outer house and the latter to the inner house.
At present, under Bu Wuniang's arrangement, Jia Mu, Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang, Youshi, Li Wan, Wang Xifeng, Lin Daiyu, Sanchun and others took their seats at the dining table in the fifth upper room.
Bu Wuniang sat at the same table with Jia Mu, Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang and others.
As soon as they sat down, everyone discovered something new.
I saw two small wooden tubes placed on each dining table. One small wooden tube was filled with dental floss, and the other was filled with toothpicks.
Wang Xifeng, who was sitting at the next table, immediately picked up a piece of dental floss and curiously asked Bu Wuniang: "Sister-in-law Wu, what kind of novelty is this?"
Jia Mu, Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang, Youshi, Li Wan, Wang Xifeng, Lin Daiyu, Sanchun and others all looked at Bu Wuniang curiously.
Bu Wuniang smiled and said: "Yun'er and a friend of his have been doing business in pencils and other gadgets before. Recently, they have jointly produced several novel gadgets."
"There are two kinds of things on the table right now. One is called toothpicks, which are the picks we usually use, but these toothpicks are easier to use than pickers; the other is called dental floss, which is also used for picking teeth."
Wang Xifeng couldn't help but pick up a toothpick and try it.
Jia Mu smiled and said, "Be more polite. What do you think of picking your teeth in front of so many people?"
Wang Xifeng said with a smile: "The old lady is a noble person, and it is not suitable to do things like picking teeth in public. I am a rough person, so I can show the old lady an example."
As soon as this was said, everyone laughed.
After Wang Xifeng tried it with a toothpick, she said with a smile: "This thing is indeed better than a tooth pick, and better than an ear pick."
Jia Mu smiled and said, "You're just picking your teeth in public, why are you picking your ears?"
Li Wan smiled and said: "The old lady doesn't know, but she often picks her ears and picks her teeth."
Everyone laughed again.
Wang Xifeng didn't mind, and immediately picked up another piece of dental floss to try, but didn't know how to use it, so she asked Bu Wuniang.
Bu Wuniang smiled and said: "You are not a rough person, I am a rough person, but the old ladies and ladies are all sitting here today, and I am the host. It would be inappropriate to pick your teeth in public, so I will let you
Let one of my little girls show you how to make this dental floss."
After saying this, Bu Wuniang greeted Liu Wuer, who immediately picked up a piece of dental floss and demonstrated it in public...
Out of curiosity, Wang Xifeng immediately tried it and said with a smile: "This thing doesn't work. It's not as convenient as the toothpick I just used."
Bu Wuniang smiled and said: "Yun'er said, you will get used to it if you use dental floss too much."
Wang Xifeng smiled and said: "Now that we have toothpicks, we don't need the dental floss."
Bu Wuniang smiled and said, "That's not possible. This dental floss is better than toothpicks."
Even Mrs. Wang was curious: "Oh? What's so good about it?"
Everyone looked at Bu Wuniang curiously...
Bu Wuniang immediately explained.
The general meaning is that excessive use of dental picks and toothpicks will cause various problems, such as wider gaps between teeth, damage to gums, etc. Dental floss can avoid these problems.
Of course, Jia Yun told Bu Wuniang about this in advance. In fact, even before Jia Yun traveled through time, most Chinese people still used toothpicks, and relatively few used dental floss.
After listening to Bu Wuniang's explanation, many people became interested in dental floss, including Jia Mu, Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang, Youshi, Li Wan, and Wang Xifeng.
Ladies like them pay great attention to personal health. Compared with dental floss and toothpicks, toothpicks are safer and better for health, so they immediately became interested.
Youshi immediately asked: "Fifth sister-in-law, just now you said that Brother Yun and his friends jointly produced several novelties this time. Apart from the dental floss and toothpicks on the table, what else is there?"
Everyone looked at Bu Wuniang curiously. Dental floss and toothpicks had aroused their interest. They were naturally curious about other novelties.
Bu Wuniang immediately asked Liu Wuer to bring over a beautiful wooden box. After opening it, there were many toothbrushes, toothpaste, dental floss, and toothpicks inside.
Sanchun, who was sitting at other tables, couldn't sit still anymore and walked to Bu Wuniang to watch. Lin Daiyu also wanted to follow, but she didn't move out of reserve.
Bu Wuniang picked up the toothbrush again and introduced the toothpaste to everyone.
After hearing this, everyone became interested again, this time the interest was stronger than the interest in dental floss and toothpicks just now.
Even Lin Daiyu couldn't sit still. As she listened, she walked over to Bu Wuniang and gathered around to watch.
Because the toothbrush and toothpaste developed by Jia Yun are not only easier to use than the simple toothbrushes and green salt in this world, but are also more effective.
It is a woman's nature to love beauty.
Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang, Youshi, Li Wan, Wang Xifeng, Lin Daiyu, Sanchun and other ladies from wealthy families all love beauty as well as cleanliness.
Naturally, toothbrushes and toothpaste will interest them very much.
Youshi exclaimed: "Brother Yun is a genius from heaven. The pencil gadgets he and his friends made before were already novel and practical. The gadgets this time are even better than the pencil gadgets."
Novel and practical.”
Wang Xifeng's focus was different, and she said with a smile: "Nephew Yun's pencils and other sales can already make a lot of money. These novelty gadgets this time, it seems that they will make a lot of money again, and they should be more profitable than pencils and other sales.
There are more, these novelty gadgets are something everyone needs to use."
It must be said that Wang Xifeng has a strong economic acumen, and he immediately saw that there is a larger market for toothbrushes and other businesses.
Li Wan smiled and said: "Fifth sister-in-law, I think our old lady likes these good things very much. Why don't you give her a box of them?"
Bu Wuniang said with a smile: "You don't have to say anything about this? Yun'er has already prepared it. Today, the old ladies, madams, and ladies here will each give a box. I just planned to wait until everyone has finished the feast before giving it away.
, since you mentioned this now, let’s send it away now.”
After saying this, Bu Wuniang called Qingwen and Liu Wuer went to get some exquisite wooden boxes and distributed them to everyone. Everyone became excited, as if they had received a treasure.
