Chapter Seventy-Six: The First Appearance of Toothpaste

At this time, Datang had not yet invented toothbrushes and toothpaste, but everyone attached great importance to the cleaning and protection of the mouth and teeth.

There is a record in the "Book of Rites": the first crowing of the chicken, salty gargle, indicating that at least more than 1,000 years ago, people attached great importance to oral hygiene.

And these days, after his contact, whether it is men like Lao Li and Lao Sun, or women like Jiujiang sister, their teeth are clean and white, and it is obvious that there will be no shortage of washing every day.

And the toothbrush that Chen Chu uses these days is willow branches, and when he wants to brush his teeth, bite off the outer layer of skin, and there are some fibers inside that can be used as a brush.

In the case of toothpaste, they did not use folk salt, but a paste made of poria and other raw materials, which was a dynasty earlier than the historical record.

Anyway, Chen Chu brushes his teeth, and I feel that this soil toothbrush and toothpaste are barely enough, at least it can clean the mouth.

But it's really far worse than a real toothbrush and toothpaste, and the problem is that the spit system didn't give him a complete set, so he gave him toothpaste......

Gotcha, the toothpaste is out, let's make the toothbrush ourselves!

Isn't this thing simple? When the time comes, find Lao Li and them to study and promote it, anyway, he doesn't want to bite the willow branch every day, because some fibers will be coarse and hard, and if he accidentally pokes the gums, it will be a pool of blood.

"Yuzhu, gather all the maids in the house." Chen Chu said.

Yuzhu agreed, and soon a total of fifty maids in the house put down their work and rushed over.

In addition, there were ten delicate and beautiful dancers, all of whom looked at him respectfully with affectionate eyes.

The dancers had stayed in the palace before, and the dances they danced were not suitable for Chen Chu here, so they were intensively rehearsing new dances these days to please the new masters.

Chen Chu hasn't seen their dancing now, and the housekeeper uses them very well, they usually don't need to work at all, and their skin is very delicate.

"This thing is sent out in a box per person, and I will use it when I rinse my mouth in the future, and I can apply a little on the willow branches."

In addition to working at home, maids and dancers should also be pleasing to the eye, and this kind of cleaning thing should be right for them.

Chen Chu briefly explained the usage.

As for the men, the servants and guards of the Chen Mansion are all old men, who usually do rough work, and this situation is the same in everyone's house.

Give it to them? Damn, he knows that most people don't rinse their mouths when they get up in the morning.

It's a waste to give it to them.

When the time comes, the toothbrush will be studied and distributed together, and whoever doesn't pay attention to hygiene and is lazy will clean him up.

Everyone thought that this young and handsome master had some task, but they didn't expect it to be to distribute good things, mouthwash tools that can replace salt.

Their packaging is so beautiful, layer upon layer, it's hard to imagine what it's like.

A bold dancer plucked up the courage to ask, "Master, can we take it apart now?" ”

"Well, yes, I'll show you how to disassemble this thing, you need to use a needle, but you all have hairpins on you, which saves trouble."

Chen Chu touched his body, how could there be an embroidery needle on his body, but there was a needle that was inconvenient to take out and show people that could change in size.

Taking the hairpin handed by Yuzhu, Chen Chu took off the package, rotated and unscrewed the lid of the toothpaste, and squeezed out the milky white toothpaste inside as soon as he tied it on the sealed opening.

"The things that flow out are so thick and white." The dancer said subconsciously, but saw that the master showed a malicious smile, and thought that she had said something wrong.

"It's so fragrant, I feel like the whole person is radiant when I smell it......"

The maids and dancers are basically not more than twenty years old, and the girls are in nature, and at this time, they are all excited, and they open their boxes one after another, and the more they smell, the happier they become.

"Alright, squeeze a little and brush your teeth, go down and try it yourself, and get back to your job."

Chen Chu waved his hand and said impatiently.

All the women agreed in unison, bowed down, and then scattered eagerly with light steps.

Chen Chu also took the washing tools and brushed it, and finally felt the familiar smell of toothpaste fill his mouth, and the whole person was comfortable.

Judging from the price of toothpaste and the time of use, every 100 points of spit can be used by 200 people for more than three months.

Different from those things that are gone after using it once, it can be said that toothpaste is the first thing that Chen Chu currently has, and it can be vigorously promoted.

Of course, it still can't supply the entire Chang'an City, it's impossible.

Many ancient people had a strange smell in their mouths, especially some people with bad breath who couldn't smell it when they got together.

Chen Chu felt that the implementation of toothpaste was still very necessary, not to mention anything else, the people around him had to use this thing, so as not to be smoked to death one day.

The sound of steel drills and hammers smashing on the street was huge.

At a glance, the neat square bricks at the entrance of Chen's Mansion have been laid, and they are stable and flat when stepping on them, and it is effortless to walk, no ash in summer, and no mud accumulation in rainy days, which is very good.

Tai Chi Temple.

Li Er fell into helplessness, obviously the biggest locust plague had been solved, but other things in the past few days had dragged him out.

More than 300,000 people have poured in near Chang'an, and it is said that there are more than 100,000 and more people coming in slowly.

The water level of Longshou, Yong'an and Qingming Canal has dropped significantly, the water volume of Kunming Pond is acceptable, but outside the Guangyuntan Port, the materials from Luoyang and all over the country are progressing slowly, and the ships are scarce.

The lack of water, lack of housing, and chaos made it difficult for Chang'an to bear the burden of rations for so many people.

"Ladies and gentlemen, what do you have to do about this?"

Li Er sat on the dragon seat and inquired, he personally watched from the city, the appearance of the crowd was terrifying, and there were many people pouring into the city, causing the deterioration of the public security situation.

It's a shame that these people are not really fleeing the famine, and they are the people of Guanzhong led by Chang'an, otherwise the order doesn't know how chaotic it will be.

The eldest grandson Wuji came out and said, "Your Majesty, last night Lord Chen was hit by a ranger on horseback when he was on a trip, and he injured his arm with a whip. ”

"How can it be!" Li Er suddenly slapped the table and injured him Chen Chu, what is the difference between hurting him Li Er.

"The order in Chang'an is so chaotic that I am afraid that the flow of people will be restricted." The eldest grandson Wuji suggested.

"Alas, none of these measures are enough to solve the fundamental problem, and I lack a strategy that can solve all the problems, or such a person, who of you would like to bear this burden?"

The ministers looked at each other, but no one squeaked.

There is no more material replenishment in Guanzhong, and the delivery of materials from all over the country is not in place, hundreds of thousands of people cannot be governed, and just one residence can make people die of headaches, and all kinds of things are troublesome in it, who wants to go.

There are many people who want to make this contribution, but the problem is that no one thinks they have solved it.

"It's all rice buckets!"

Li Er slapped the table case angrily, and everyone laughed dryly, although they knew that His Majesty didn't really scold them, but they also felt ashamed.

Just when a few important ministers were secretly communicating and planning to muster up the courage to undertake this matter together, Hou Junji came out and said: "Your Majesty, why don't you hand it over to Lord Chen?" ”

Li Er's pen was about to fall off, and the eldest grandson Wuji and his party also looked at him faintly.

Lord Hou, how can you say this?
