After he and his mother-in-law separated, he built a house and stocked a warehouse full of grain and

toothbrush?

Fan Jin used to use willow branches to clean his teeth. Since Shuiqing opened the mall, he also used a toothbrush.

It works really well.

He once looked at the toothbrush carefully to make sure the material was not smooth.

However, "It should be possible. The toothbrush handle can be replaced with bamboo or wood, and the brush on it can be made of animal hair. The craftsmanship may be simpler than a brush."

After all, scholars are particular about writing with a brush, and a set of strict criteria for judging whether it is good or bad has long been established, but toothbrushes are different. Maybe this is a good opportunity.

Shui Qing only thought of it after talking to Bai Manshan about buying a farm shop.

The writing brush can only be tested this year, and will be officially produced next year. It will not be sold until the year after next at the earliest, which means that it will take at least two or three years to realize it.

By the time the writing brush can earn money and be cashed out, the world will be at peace, and those shops and fields will no longer be sold at low prices. She must make money now, and earn as much money as possible to buy a large amount of property.

You can earn money faster with a toothbrush than with a brush!

First, toothbrushes are the same as brushes. Their customer base is rich people, who have either rich or expensive spending power. These people are used to enjoying themselves, unlike poor people who can't even afford food and clothing, and would like to break a penny in half. Flowers and toothbrushes are just small expenditures for them, nothing like it;

The second market was located in the Jiangnan area, which was also not affected by the war. However, their side experienced floods, while the Yuhang side was not only free of disasters, but also rich. Accumulated over the past dynasties, there were more wealthy people and more consumers.

In fact, the wealthier one should be Jinling at the foot of the emperor. However, Jinling is now at war with Beidu. I guess I am not in the mood. It is better to develop the market in the south first, and then expand to the north when it stabilizes later.

Thinking of this, Shui Qing opened a shopping mall and bought several books on toothbrush making techniques. When searching for toothbrushes, the mall recommended a manual toothbrush puncher one after another, and he bought one of each.

Fan Jin looked at the hole punch and picked up one with his long and thin fingers, his dark eyes full of disbelief.

Shuiqing’s shopping mall really has everything!

They range from 'clairvoyance' that can see at night and see miles away, to simple and ordinary objects like this.

Shui Qing was flipping through the book and told Fan Jin without raising his head: "You can research which one is most suitable and I will buy it."

Some of them are good, but they are so detailed that they don't look like objects that a blacksmith could make.

They just want something that looks plain and simple.

"it is good."

The factory buildings and sites are all ready-made, and the raw materials are the same. Changing a brush from a brush to a toothbrush is just a matter of words.

The only difference is that originally I was learning and doing without paying too much attention to the output. Now I am rushing to earn a lot of money, so the output will naturally become more important.

Toothbrushes require bamboo, and it is large moso bamboo. Bamboo is not a problem. Shuiqing's family already has a bamboo mountain. Apart from making some bamboo baskets for home use and digging bamboo shoots for eating, it has no other use.

I haven’t used it before, but now it’s just the right handle for a toothbrush!

Toothbrush handles are not as large as weaving bamboo baskets. The bamboo required for one bamboo basket can be used to make dozens of toothbrush handles, and the silver sold for one toothbrush is equivalent to dozens of bamboo baskets!

Again and again, the price difference is huge.

Cutting down bamboo and carrying it to the medicine shop are both physical jobs, and splitting and cutting bamboo joints is also a laborious job. Shui Qing selected a dozen men from close relatives and was paid twenty-three cents a day to be responsible for this. .

Women are partly responsible for picking hair, which is to remove the hair from the wool, and then soak the animal hair in lime water for a period of time. This is to remove the grease and fishy smell on the wool, and at the same time, it can also sterilize and disinfect. There are also steps in the process of making brushes. this step.

It's just that the toothbrush is something that goes into the mouth, especially the mouth of a dignitary. This step must be refined to ensure that there is no odor at all!

Another group of women with strong strength are responsible for punching the same holes on one end of the bamboo board so that the people behind can press the brushes. The holes must be of the same size and spaced apart, and cannot be sparse, otherwise the bamboo board will be useless.

The girl's family was divided into three teams. One team polished the smooth bamboo handles and then continued polishing them with fine cotton material to ensure that each one had no burrs.

One team used silk thread to fix the processed wool on the punched holes to ensure that the size, thickness, softness and hardness of each bunch of wool were basically the same.

The last team of girls is responsible for trimming, cutting the toothbrush head into a fixed length and storing it in the warehouse.

At the beginning, everyone was unskilled, and it was expected that the work was not done well, and the poorly made defective products were distributed to employees for their own use. After two or three batches, everything was done well.

Shui Qing works in the toothbrush workshop every day, and Bai Manshan comes over from time to time to give some suggestions.

He, Li Huyu, Qin Yilin and others were the first batch of suitable candidates. With green salt, they just felt that it was much easier to use than the previous willow branches.

After more than a dozen batches, the toothbrushes produced were basically flawless.

Bai Manshan looked at the toothbrush with bamboo leaves or auspicious cloud patterns on the handle, and tried the brush heads of pig hair, rabbit hair, and wool respectively. He said to Shuiqing: "Sister Shuiqing, what are you selling in front of me?" give it to me!"

Shui Qing did not expect that the suitable person would become a major purchaser, and asked: "What do you want so much for?"

"The Bai family's family business also includes grocery stores. Although Nandu suffered serious floods, the Bai family's shops are not only in Nandu, but also in Qiongzhou Prefecture, far away from the world!

Once I get the toothbrush, I can sell goods to those shops. I only have the toothbrush, and it can also drive the sale of other goods. "The more Bai Manshan talked, the more excited he became. If it hadn't been just a few days since he arrived, he would have wanted to transport it to stores in various places to sell it now.

Shui Qing smiled and said: "Okay, with you as a big customer, my toothbrush workshop will be more confident!"

As long as sales are good, we can recruit people at any time to expand production scale.

It’s okay if you don’t have enough fur. Rabbit fur is definitely enough in the village. Just go to Fucheng to buy pig hair and wool. A toothbrush doesn’t need much wool, and it can be used for a long time once you collect it.

"By the way, Brother Bai, what price do you think I should set?"

The medicinal materials Ding and Li Qin Yilin were professionals and they were asked for their opinions. Toothbrush just asked Bai Manshan for his opinions.

Bai Manshan did not lower the price because he bought goods from Shuiqing, but carefully explained the market conditions: "The worst brush costs about 150 yuan. Toothbrushes are similar to brushes, both are made of bamboo wool, and the craftsmanship is similar. ;

Writing brushes are for scholars, and scholars generally have a good family background. Correspondingly, people who can use toothbrushes are also from poor families. However, writing brushes are a necessity for scholars, and toothbrushes are not for the time being. I think the key is to start with a slightly lower price and open up sales. "

Shui Qing approved.

The most important thing is to open up sales from the beginning. People have a herd mentality, and everyone uses it. Once it becomes a trend, they will follow suit and buy, and then the sales will be better and better!
