Su Qiao opened the lid, and a few people came over and found some light yellow translucent crystals inside, which looked quite beautiful.
"Sister, what is this? Can I eat it?" Xiao Haozi took one and played with it in his hand.
"This is resin, formed by the sap that flows out of the trunk of a pine tree. When I went to the mountains to play, I saw it and thought it was beautiful, so I brought it back."
In fact, the original owner thought that this thing was a gem and could be exchanged for candy from the peddler, so he picked it up.
As a result, the peddler didn't come to the village for a long time, and the original owner forgot about it.
However, after Su Qiao sorted out her memory, she remembered this incident. When she was cleaning the closet yesterday, she actually found it.
Su Qiao found a thin piece of stone, went to the stove, melted the resin, and finally carefully dripped the melted liquid into the small holes with a small bamboo stick.
Before the resin solidifies, quickly insert the neatly trimmed brown hair into it. After the resin cools and solidifies, the brown hair will be fixed in the small hole.
I picked up the front knife and trimmed the brown hair again, and an ancient version of the toothbrush was made.
Because there was enough brown hair and resin, Su Qiao made eleven in one go.
After the resin on the first toothbrush cooled and solidified, Su Qiao pulled it out with a little force and found it was quite firm.
"Is that all?"
Erni picked one up curiously, wondering what it was used for.
"Just wash it and you can use it."
Su Qiao fetched a basin of water from the well, cleaned the toothbrush thoroughly, went back to the house, took out the bamboo tube of tooth powder, dipped some powder in it, and started brushing his teeth.
The minty taste and bubbles in his mouth made Su Qiao feel particularly proud.
She should be the first person in this dynasty to use a proper toothbrush and toothpowder.
The tooth powder she made is made from Panax notoginseng, Angelica dahurica, Poria cocos, thyme, mint, and a little salt. It is pure natural and pollution-free Chinese medicine. It not only strengthens teeth, but also has a very significant whitening effect.
I have these herbs thanks to that man Feng Han.
"Is this for brushing teeth?"
Erni is a girl after all, and she is thirteen or fourteen years old, and she is at the age where she loves beauty.
She immediately saw through Su Qiao's move.
Su Qiao scooped a bowl of water from the barrel with a wooden bowl to wash away the foam in his mouth, and then introduced them to the three people one by one:
"Yes, this is called a toothbrush, and this is called tooth powder, which is specially used for brushing teeth."
"Tooth powder?"
Three pairs of eyes stared at the bamboo tube in Su Qiao's hand at the same time.
They have a general idea about toothbrushes, but they have never heard of tooth powder.
I have only heard that some wealthy families use salt to brush their teeth.
But there wasn't even enough salt in their house to put into the dishes, so how could they waste it on something as trivial as brushing their teeth
"It is made of some Chinese herbs ground into powder and combined together. It can whiten teeth, freshen the mouth, and strengthen teeth at the same time."
After explaining, Su Qiao had almost finished brushing her teeth. She opened her mouth and said, "Look, is it whiter?"
Erni came up to her curiously and looked at her carefully, and said with some surprise: "It seems to be really white."
"Sister, I want this too. I want this to brush my teeth." Xiao Haozi just thought it was fun.
Erni had anticipation in her eyes and opened her mouth, but was too embarrassed to speak.
Her brother Su Yihe glanced at his sister, gritted his teeth, and was about to help Su Qiao beg, but unexpectedly, Su Yichen, who came over at some point, spoke first.
"Sister, can you help your brother make one?"
