Chapter 19 Novel Ideas

"What's the fuss about?"

Lu Zhiyan really didn't want to continue guessing, so he quickly poked Lu Wushuang beside him, "Third brother!"

Lu Wushuang held it in for a long time and finally couldn't help laughing, "This... you have to ask your mother about this. Ask her what she did today."

Lu Wushuang laughed so hard that he was out of breath and almost fell to the ground. Lin Yuyan, who was touched, felt Lu Zhiyan's probing eyes and raised her head after a while.

"Youyou's diet has changed. You have to rinse your mouth more often to avoid breaking your teeth at a young age. Is this also my fault?"

Lin Yuyan felt very aggrieved, "Besides, I have taken care of you three like this since childhood. You have all grown up healthy and healthy."

[Well, it’s not easy for my three brothers to grow up. Actually, I’m not angry, but I really can’t bear to brush my teeth with that coarse salt. And after using up the salt, my mouth will be salty all day long. How can I eat anything else if it tastes so good? 】

Lu Youyou also knows that this is ancient times after all, and there is no high-tech toothpaste like modern times, but you can't just brush your teeth with coarse salt, right?

[Isn’t there a lot of medical literature that says you can use herbal medicine to make tooth powder? Why do you have to use coarse salt? 】

"Ah, since that's the case, mother did the right thing."

Lu Zhiyan also knew that Lu Youyou might not be able to adapt to coarse salt for a while, but everyone used coarse salt when cleaning their teeth, so it would be good to get used to it earlier.

[Second brother, why don’t you listen to what you are saying? 】

Lu Youyou was almost out of anger, but when Lu Zhiyan said this, she became even more angry.

Lu Zhiyan didn't know what he said wrong, so he had to fill a bowl of goat milk and bring it to Lu Youyou.

"Hey, be obedient. Just drink more and rinse your mouth. It's just some salt. After a while, there will be no taste in your mouth."

Although Lu Youyou was angry, she still drank the goat's milk in large gulps. After all, it was good to dilute the taste in her mouth. It was better than feeling as uncomfortable as eating a mountain of salt all day long.

"Second brother, you don't know what's going on today. Youyou looks so cute with your mother holding you and kicking her around."

Lu Wushuang gestured again and again, while recalling the scene he saw when he entered the door just now. It was the first time that he saw his gentle and virtuous mother look so at a loss.

Lin Yuyan was furious, but couldn't say anything. Lu Jingyuan's face darkened, "You brat got so brave that even your mother dared to laugh at you?"

Lu Youyou drank a lot of goat's milk, which finally diluted the taste of salt in her mouth, and her face returned to normal.

[The second brother is still nice to me, unlike the eldest brother who secretly laughs at me. 】

"What did you do today and why did you come back so late?"

Lu Shengqing knew that as the eldest brother and his younger siblings could not laugh at him, he quickly suppressed his laughter and asked Lu Zhiyan, who had returned late.

Lu Zhiyan, who had finally coaxed Lu Youyou, was a little tired. He sat down and picked up his chopsticks and took a few bites.

"Also, people say that business in the capital is easy. I have brought back so many interesting novelties from outside, but they are not popular."

[That's natural. This is the capital after all. There are so many merchants coming and going. Many of the things you brought back have been popular in the capital for a while. ]    For Lu Youyou, who is very familiar with fashion trends, it is easy to analyze this matter. No matter how popular this thing is outside, how novel and interesting it is, it will not become popular as fast as in the capital of the country.

[What's more, you brought it back from Jiangnan, and the goods were detained for a whole month. 】

Not to mention it's a novelty, it hasn't even caught up with the ebbing tide, so of course it has no sales.

"I think those things you brought back are quite unique. Doesn't anyone like them?"

Lu Shengqing felt his brother was a little disappointed, so he quickly offered words of comfort, "Maybe it's just that his reputation hasn't been established yet, and things will get better after a while."

"My eldest brother is a nerd. These things were all popular in the capital a few months ago. Almost no one buys them now. Only my eldest brother will find them novel. Otherwise..."

Seeing Lu Zhiyan's shrewd eyes, Lu Shengqing quickly covered his sight with his hands, "Don't try to trick me, I don't have money to buy your stuff."

Seeing that there was no hope of sales, Lu Zhiyan had no choice but to bury his head in eating.

"It would be great if there were people like Big Brother in the capital."

[It’s not that it’s unfashionable. People like to follow the crowd. If it comes up with something famous, wouldn’t someone buy it? 】

Lu Youyou is also familiar with all kinds of time-travel novels. Generally, when the male and female protagonists of time-travel novels cannot continue their business, they will tinker with the current marketing strategies and use them all.

After all, it's time travel, and there won't be any infringement issues involved.

When Lu Zhiyan heard that his sister had a new trick, he immediately became energetic and his eating speed slowed down. However, Lu Youyou just continued to complain and did not say how to actually say it.

[It’s a pity that I can’t speak now. If I could speak, this matter would be much simpler. 】

Lu Zhiyan ate this meal absentmindedly. After all, he spent a lot of money to bring the freight back from outside. If he really lost it all, it would be a big loss.

What's more, so many people saw him transporting these goods back, and there were so many shops of his own in the capital. If word got out that he had smashed the goods in his hands, he would not be able to continue this business in the future. .

After eating, Lin Yuyan still did not give up her plan. She picked up Lu Youyou and went back to the house. After eating so much, she had to rinse her mouth with coarse salt.

However, Lu Zhiyan was cautious, fearing that he would miss some shocking words from his sister, so he followed his mother almost step by step. It was not until Lu Youyou was forced to rinse her mouth with coarse salt again that he came closer.

[Isn’t it just brushing your teeth? A little baking soda and some anti-inflammatory and analgesic herbal medicine powder will do. Why use salt? If you have an oral ulcer, it will hurt to death. 】

Lu Zhiyan listened to some inexplicable words said by Lu Youyou and silently wrote them down in his heart, but he still had no clue.

After all, what Lu Youyou said cannot be found at all in this era.

[But it is indeed a bit difficult. The most you can do now is coarse salt from sea water. Even fine salt is extremely expensive, let alone various high-purity reagents and instruments. You can’t even make baking soda. Where can you get it? toothpaste, do I have to continue brushing my teeth with coarse salt like this? 】

Lu Youyou felt collapsed just thinking about it, but after all, she was just a kid who couldn't speak, so she couldn't resist at all.
