Traveling through the daily life of raising a family in ancient times

Chapter 189 Purchasing supplies and making it yourself

The toothpaste in Song Yeqing's space has been used up, and the toothbrush should have been replaced long ago.

So the two went to Xiashufang.

"Ma'am, what do you want?" The waiter saw the two people entering the door, and immediately came over with a smile and asked.

"Let me look at the tooth powder." He Yanxin bought the toothbrush and tooth powder used by the rest of the family from here.

In order to maintain the health of the teeth, most of the tooth powders here are added with medicinal materials, so the price is not very cheap.

Anyway, Ah Hua and others had never used such a good tooth powder before they came to their house.

Desi used.And A Ping didn't know what tooth powder was. He used to make it casually with willow branches.

"Come here and have a look." The buddy led the two of them to the "daily necessities" category.

Song Yeqing also found "He Song brand" soap on the shelf beside her.

Looking at the word "He Song" snuggling together, her expression became much warmer.

"This is Poria tooth powder, it's a new product..." The man picked up the box and opened it.

The powder inside is not as white as modern common tooth powder, but slightly yellowish.

Song Yeqing asked about the price.Because medicinal materials are added in it, it is sold for four coins a box.

She shook her head and said, "Bring me that." She pointed to the one He Yanxin bought back last time.

They have a large family, so how can they afford a box of "luxury" tooth powder for four coins.

The buddy didn't show any abnormality, put down the one in his hand, and took out their lowest-priced tooth powder. "How many boxes do you want?"

"Let's get six boxes first." This tooth powder is made from saponins, lotus leaves, green salt, etc. Anyway, Song Yeqing used it well before.

After all, no matter how cheap it is, it is something from Xiashufang, which is much better than the ones sold outside.

After taking the tooth powder, she said again: "Ten toothbrushes with pig mane hair."

In addition to this, there is also horsetail hair, but it is more expensive.

Song Yeqing suddenly saw a box of yellow-brown paste beside the tooth powder.

In my memory, this is fragrant toothpaste, which is made by grinding many spices and medicinal materials into powder and adding cooked honey.

It's just that its price makes people a little hopeless, and even the Song family only bought it occasionally a few times.

Thinking of the feel of toothpaste, Song Yeqing sighed.In fact, it's not that she can't afford it now, it's just that it's unnecessary.

In order to live a good life, you still have to work hard to make money.

"Would you like some more soap, this is our family's signature, I'll keep it for you and want to use it again. There are many scents..."

The buddy strongly recommends it, and the word "fragrance type" is what He Yanxin said at the beginning.

Neither Song Yeqing nor Ah Hua came to hand over soap, so the guy didn't know that the very useful soap he said came from their house.

"No, I don't need it, just take these." Song Yeqing shook her head.

He Yanxin later fulfilled his promise and made seven soaps for her.Fortunately, he didn't go crazy and really used seven colors.

This time, disappointment was evident on the guy's face. "Are you sure you don't want one? This soap is in the whole Zhaozhou, only we have it..."

At the beginning, Xiashufang added an extra ten cents to the price of He Yanxin's soap, and also gave him a "monopoly fee" of 30 taels of silver.The requirement is that these soaps cannot be sold to other stores.

So it's not that Song Yeqing didn't think about letting the rouge shop run by shopkeeper Huang also sell soap and soap.

It's just that people have to have the spirit of contract, right?Now that you have promised others, you must keep your promise.

Song Yeqing and A'hua looked around again, and they checked out after making sure there was nothing to buy.

"Thanks for your patronage, you two go slowly..." The clerk sent to the door and bid farewell to the two.

I have to say, the service attitude is really good.

Not far away, A Ping saw the figures of the two and drove the car over.

"Sister-in-law, I'll get it." He got out of the car and took the things.

As soon as the man was about to enter the door, he saw him.

Isn't this Brother Ping who came to give soap from He Jiachang?Those two women just now turned out to be from the He family?
Thinking of how hard he had been selling soap to Song Yeqing just now, even though the boy's face was getting thicker and thicker through training, he couldn't help turning red at this moment.

Song Yeqing saw the last stop of the trip in the car, stopped the car, and said: "Ping, you can wait for us over there."

She took Ah Hua into another fabric store.

In addition to toothpaste, sanitary napkins are also used up in the case of saving and saving.

So Song Yeqing wanted to buy some skin-friendly fabrics and cotton to go home and make them.

It's just that it can't be fixed without glue, so it can only be made into a menstrual belt in this era.

While the boss was going to fetch cotton for them, Song Yeqing quietly asked Ah Hua what she usually used to make it.

Ah Hua was a little surprised that she asked herself this question in public.

She looked left and right, and after making sure that there was no one nearby, she blushed and said something briefly in a low, inaudible mosquito voice.

It is nothing more than sewing ash and hay on sackcloth.

Song Yeqing nodded, as she understood almost the same.

Before the age of 14, Mrs. Song used soft cotton cloth wrapped in straw paper.

Later she did not get used to rough linen.The cotton cloth is still used, but the stuff inside is the same as what Ah Hua uses.

Those that can be used are too easy to breed bacteria, which can cause gynecological diseases.That's why Song Yeqing chose to buy cotton for filling.

She thought about it, and said to the shopkeeper who brought the cotton for herself: "I'm really sorry, but I have to trouble you to bring me two more cottons of the same amount."

It's just that I didn't think that Ah Hua used it like this before, but now that I know it, of course I have to change it for her.

Fortunately, the cotton here is not very expensive, and it is okay to allocate a special supply from the money I sell medicine.

Anyway, there are only a few days every month, and he is "luxury".

Qiuniang is a dry person, she has her own scale in her heart, and Song Yeqing can't control her.So today I took the cotton back and asked, if the other party doesn't change it, it's fine.

Ah Hua hesitated to speak, what did the master buy so much for?

Reminiscent of the previous conversation, is it possible to use cotton to make menstrual belt?
With that in mind, she also asked.

Song Yeqing taught her, don't hold back what you have to say, it will save a lot of trouble if you say it.

"That's right." Song Yeqing confirmed her guess, and explained: "You can't use all cotton, as it will leak too quickly. Tighten it up a bit, and put the straw paper we bought under it, it should be just right. .”

After all, it is also the first time for her to make it, so she still incorporates Mrs. Song's previous experience.

Ah Hua half-understood, "Oh".

She has never used anything other than plant ashes, and she can't imagine what it feels like to use this soft cotton.

Song Yeqing was picking out the fabric, and said, "By the way, you can also change to this kind, take it back and make it yourself."

"Ah? Me?" Ah Hua waved her hand, "Slaves don't need such good things."

In a hurry, she said all the previous names.

"Why is this a good thing?" Song Yeqing sighed helplessly.

There are still the last two packs of sanitary napkins in the space, if it is not difficult for outsiders to see, she would like to take them out and tell Ah Hua that this is the standard.

"Use it, use it, it's good for you." Song Yeqing told her about hygiene issues.

Ah Hua naturally believed in her theories, which seemed to her to be a bit unconstrained and novel.

At this time, she was a little entangled, thinking about whether her monthly money was enough to buy cotton.

Forget it, she is a lowly person, if she does something with such a good thing, even if she suffers from a disease, she will pass it.

Ah Hua decided to "follow the positive and violate the negative" for a while, and continue to use the previous ones.

Song Yeqing seemed to be able to see through her heart, and said without turning her head: "I've packed the cotton for monthly use, you don't need to buy it, just make it yourself."

Of course she doesn't know how to read minds, it's just that Ah Hua can't hide things, what's on her mind, she expresses it on her face.

　At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, Hong Chu compiled "Xiangpu", which included more than a dozen toothpaste formulas.

　　I suddenly found that the ancient times were not as backward as I thought, and writing this book also taught me a lot of knowledge that I didn't know before.I thought that what didn’t exist in ancient times actually existed in ancient times.
