Chapter 148: 65.2

  Xu He went to the He family in the village, there was a carpenter and many people in the village called him Grandpa He, but they were not his close relative, and he didn't even know if he had any relatives. It was just that all the younger generations called him Grandpa He respectfully.

    Xu He showed the toothbrush made by Zhang Fangyuan to the old carpenter: "I want to make something like this, and I need you to make it for a long time. The handle should be polished smooth to look better. "

"It's simple, and it doesn't take much trouble." Old carpenter He promised confidently after taking a look at it. The most trouble part was actually the brush. But the carpenter's work was fast. It may take others a quarter of an hour to make a good one, but he could make a better one in half the time.

"There is no problem with engraving on the handle. "

"Then how do you collect money here?"

    Old carpenter He laughed when he heard the words: " He ge’er, what you are asking is like a layman. Is the material from me or from you?, and the prices of different woods are also different. It’s difficult for me to set the price just by asking the price."

    Xu He said: "We will prepare the wood, which is ordinary wood. In addition, we will also prepare the pig hair and horse hair, so I came here to see how grandpa He collects the money, and I know the rule well."

    "You and your butcher are going to do big business again?"

    Xu He didn't reveal much, just nodded.

    "It's also been a long time since I received a job. You said that you are going to do business, you need it for long-term quantity, and you also provide the materials yourself. I will charge you two copper coins, and since I will do a long-term business with your family so I will charge you at a low price, what do you think? "

    Xu He smiled, which was naturally the best.

    "Sure, what if I want to do carving and lettering? You have to make something different."

 

"You know, you need more styles to sell them at different prices, and for the carvings I will charge you an extra copper coin. We are all from the same village. You know that grandpa can carve exquisite things, and he will never lose to those shops in the city. I charge you this price, and you must not talk about it outside the village, or you should come and talk to me first."

Xu He nodded his head like a chicken pecking at rice: " Let's make it like this for now. If we want other styles or change the wood later, we will discuss it with Grandpa He. It's good to do business for a long time."

"Okay, since you have made a decision today, I will give you two first. You can take it home and show it to your butcher. If you are satisfied, I will do it accordingly, then you will give me the money."

"Okay, that's the best thing."

Xu He made a deal. If the cost of everything could be reduced by one copper coin, then they could earn one copper coin more for themselves, and the pressure would not be so great. It was also true that the carpenters in the village could take over a long-term business, so it was a good fit for both sides.

    Zhang Fangyuan was not idle here either. He hung a sign on the tea shed to collect herbs. Those who often went to the city to sell herbs could understand it. When someone came to ask him, he would tell them which herbs to collect, so everyone would know what kind of herbs were collected in their tea shed.

    Not only that, but there was also a sign for collecting horse’s tail hair. This illiterate person may not be able to recognize it, but he hung it together with the sign for collecting herbs and livestock, and people who saw it would ask if they didn't recognize it.

 

    In addition, when he and Chen Si slaughtered pigs, they would go around and tell the villagers what the tea shed wanted to collect now. Those who were too lazy to go to the tea shed would either send it to the pig seller's house by themselves, or Zhang Fangyuan would follow them home to collect it.

    Soon the news spread in the surrounding villages. The Rongyi tea shed collected: "Herbal medicines like Wolfiporia extensa, Sophora flavescens, Rehmannia glutinosa, Eclipta chinensis, etc.; also Chinese honey locust, fresh ginger, and horse hair..."

 

From time to time in the tea shed, the villagers would come to ask the price or sell their herbal medicines. After they got the money, they would buy some candles, drinks and sauces in the tea shed. The prices of the things in the tea shed were similar to those in the city, which saved them a trip to the city.

    When old carpenter He brought the finished toothbrush to Zhang Fangyuan and Xu He to inspect the goods, he saw a lot of people at the tea shed, not only the familiar villagers, there were also acquaintances who were drinking tea and playing here, since he didn’t do the work anymore, he gave the things to the couple, let them see if there was any problem, and then he went to the mat outside the tea shed to have tea with the old acquaintances and eat melon seeds.

    "Grandpa He made much better toothbrushes than mine." Zhang Fangyuan took a look at the newly made toothbrushes. There were three toothbrushes in total, one with pig hair and two with horse hair.

    Among them, the one with horse hair was carved, which was the common bamboo among the "Four Gentlemen". The master’s craftsmanship was good. Not only the wooden board of the toothbrush was polished smooth, the patterns carved on the wooden handle were also lifelike, and even stained with paint to fill the bamboo.

 

[Four gentlemen (四 君子): In Chinese art, the Four Gentlemen or Four Noble Ones is a collective term referring to four plants: the plum blossom, the orchid, the bamboo, and the chrysanthemum. The term compares the four plants to Confucian junzi, or "gentlemen."]

    They took out the toothbrush made by Zhang Fangyuan and compared it. The materials were exactly the same, no one would argue if the ones made by the old carpenter would be sold for 30 copper coins in the shop, as for his, the price of 15 copper coins may be considered rough by some people.

 

    Zhang Fangyuan couldn't be more satisfied, this was completely the style of toothbrushes in the future, and when the shop opened, he could reasonably bid a high price.
