Gu Laoer raised his toothbrush and made a mark on the newly bought tube of toothpaste. The smooth surface of the toothpaste was buttery and very beautiful, which made Gu Laoer reluctant to destroy it. But he finally pressed down the toothbrush.
, dipped some toothpaste into the bamboo tube containing toothpaste.
The people in Fanjiazhuang are wealthy, and almost everyone has a toothbrush. This kind of brush made of horsehair is strong and durable, and only costs half a penny a piece.
Then Gu Lao Er began to brush his mouth with a toothbrush and toothpaste. After just a few brushes, foam came out of his mouth. Gu Lao Er was a little curious about what he looked like, so he ran into the bedroom and found the mirror at home.
I looked in the mirror.
Gu Laoer's mouth in the mirror was full of foam, as if he was frothing at the mouth, which made Gu Laoer grin.
This toothpaste is really amazing.
Gu Laoer put the mirror back in the box and returned to the wash basin - this kind of wash basin was also invented by Jin Guogong. It is made of ceramics. There is a ceramic basin on the outside, and the opening at the bottom is connected to the sewer. Because of the dirty water
All the water flows down the opening at the bottom to the sewer, so the top of the basin is very clean, making the room more hygienic.
However, this kind of pool has no technical content, and Jin Guogong did not charge a patent fee, but just copied it in private workshops. Because private craftsmen produce it in large quantities, it is very cheap, and almost every household in Fanjiazhuang has installed it.
Gu Lao Er brushed his teeth vigorously on the sink. He brushed too hard and even drew a few strands of blood. Gu Lao Er brushed every corner of his teeth before he scooped a ladle of water from the water tank.
He went into a glass of water and rinsed his mouth.
After brushing his teeth, Gu Laoer felt that his mouth was clean and extremely comfortable.
After brushing his teeth, Gu Lao Er walked back to the living room and breathed a sigh of relief at his eldest son Gu Weisheng.
Gu Weisheng turned his head away suddenly and cursed: "Dad, what are you doing to stink me when you have nothing to do..."
But before he finished his sentence, Gu Weisheng stopped. He gently sniffed the air with his nose and said, "Hey, Dad, your mouth doesn't smell at all anymore?"
Gu Laoer laughed loudly and said, "Have you never seen this before?"
Gu Weisheng said: "Dad, what trick did you use? Even if you brush hard with a toothbrush, your mouth will still stink."
Gu Laoer put the toothpaste bamboo tube on the table with a snap and said with a smile: "Now that we have toothpaste at home, we will no longer have a bad mouth when talking to others."
Gu Weisheng looked at the bamboo tube on the table and said, "Is this the toothpaste mentioned in the newspaper the day before yesterday?"
Gu Laoer said with a smile: "In the future, there will be fewer cavities and stronger teeth, so that I won't be unable to bite when I get old. Your father and I will live a few more years!"
"Is it that powerful?"
Gu Laoer said with a smile: "When you are old, you can't bite vegetables or meat. If you can only drink gruel every day, you will lack nutrition and be weak. If your teeth are healed and you can eat vegetables and meat, you will naturally live longer.
Year!"
"I want to brush my teeth with toothpaste too!" The young man suddenly lifted the toothpaste on the table, grabbed it and ran towards the sink.
Gu Laoer smiled and cursed: "I'm afraid I'll miss out on your benefits!"

The prefect of Huai'an, South Zhili, sat in Shi Kefa's Chinese army tent and poured out his bitter words on Shi Kefa.
"Li Thief's court and equalization of taxes are really unreasonable. Huai'an is now in ruins. How can the distinguished scholars have any dignity? Even an old farmer in the country dares to point his finger at the gentry and shout!"
Shi Kefa sighed, feeling unfair for the prefect's situation in Huai'an.
Of course, what Shi Kefa is more afraid of is that Huai'an's model will expand to the entire southern Zhili, and even the entire south. After Huai'an settled in Li Zhi's court and tax bureau, last year not only did it pay an unprecedented amount of tax to the court, but it also paid the first three taxes at once.
All tax arrears for the year were paid.
It is said that after the emperor learned about this incident, he sighed with emotion and praised Li Zhi's court and tax bureau for being beneficial to the country and the people. It is said that the emperor also asked ministers to discuss the pros and cons of the Huai'an model in the morning the next day, as if he wanted to test
The attitude of civil servants.
The result was of course unquestionable. The civil servants scolded the Huai'an model and pushed back the emperor's temptation.
The emperor's heart is becoming more and more biased towards Li Zhi.
Shi Kefa was a little absent-minded, said a few words to the prefect of Huai'an, and then picked up the tea cup.
Carrying teacups means seeing off guests. Shi Kefa has a myriad of affairs in Jiangbei Army, and he really doesn't have time to chat with a small prefect for too long.
The prefect of Huai'an stood up with a smile and took out a bamboo tube from his sleeve.
"My lord, this is Fanjiazhuang's new product, toothpaste!"
Shi Kefa took it in surprise and saw that the bamboo tube contained a sticky paste-like object.
"My little official bought this all the way from Tianjin. Now Li Thief's production is limited and it is only sold in Tianjin. This product is very good. When dipped in a toothbrush, it can clean the teeth and prevent tooth decay. This product
The box is for me to try out. If I like it, I will send it to you next time."
After saying this, the prefect of Huai'an bowed his hands and left Shi Kefa's tent.
Shi Kefa looked at the toothpaste in his hand and shouted: "Guier, bring the toothbrush and bucket!"
A maid agreed, and after a while, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old waitress came over carrying half a bucket of water, a toothbrush and a water glass.
Shi Kefa dipped the toothbrush in toothpaste and started brushing his teeth with the toothpaste.
Soon, Shi Kefa discovered the benefits of this toothpaste. He brushed countless foams out of his mouth and felt that his whole mouth was clean. He scooped a glass of water and rinsed his mouth. Shi Kefa spit out all the foam in his mouth. Suddenly, Shi Kefa spit out all the foam in his mouth.
Feeling extremely clean.
Shi Kefa covered his mouth with his hand and breathed a sigh of relief.
Sure enough, Shi Kefa couldn't smell anything at all.
Shi Kefa has lived for more than 40 years, and this is the first time that his mouth feels so clean.
Shi Kefa's maid came up to Shi Kefa's mouth and smelled it, and said in surprise: "There is no smell anymore, sir, there is no breath at all."
"Master, it's better now. You won't have tooth decay anymore. Master, you will definitely live a long life!"
Shi Kefa was stunned for a moment, pondered for a long time, and then cursed: "Thief Li's methods are really magical."
Guier said in surprise: "Sir, we only have three things from Tianjin: newspapers, soap and toothpaste. It has changed a lot. I heard that real Tianjin people use flush toilets and glass windows at home.
There are also mirrors. Sir, how good are the people of Tianjin that they live?"
When Shi Kefa heard this, his face sank and he was already very unhappy.
However, Shi Kefa's maid did not notice Shi Kefa's expression and continued to say: "Master, it would be great if I could go to Fanjiazhuang in my life and see the life of the people there."
"presumptuous!"
Unexpectedly, Li Zhi made his closest maid surrender without having to fight with him. This maid was so yearning for life in Fanjiazhuang, which made Shi Kefa, who was holding high a banner to attack Li Zhi, feel like he had been slapped in the face.
The more Shi Kefa listened, the more annoyed he became, and he angrily threw away the toothpaste tube in his hand.
Only then did Guier realize that Shi Kefa was angry and knelt on the ground in panic.
Shi Kefa looked at the toothpaste bamboo tube at his feet and kicked it up angrily.
"What does it matter if I don't use it? Even if I live a few years less, I won't use Thief Li's things."
Angrily flicking his sleeves, Shi Kefa strode out of the Chinese army's tent, leaving only a frightened and panicked Gui'er. chaptererror;
