Madam Qian furrowed her sparse eyebrows, “Isn’t cleaning teeth simple? Don’t we just brush off the outermost layer?”
“I knew you didn’t know the correct way to brush, that’s why I was patient in explaining it in detail,” Su Qingyue replied, “Only brushing the top layer of the teeth. Aren’t the top and inner surfaces of the teeth just as dirty?”
“So, there’s a proper method to clean teeth…” Ding Er chimed in, “I’ve always found it troublesome, and only cleaned the surface…”
“Me too…” several others joined in.
Su Qingyue persuaded, “Sister Qian, you should brush your teeth the way I told you.”
Madam Qian was astute, “I used your medicinal mud toothpaste, does it cost money?”
“No charge for trial. But, Sister Qian should give us a big smile first.” She did not recognize Madam Qian, but had heard others calling her that when she was selling goods in the morning.
“This…” Madam Qian, aware that her teeth were unsightly, hesitated.
Su Qingyue raised the stakes, “If you are willing to let everyone see your teeth and clean them, I could give you this packet of medicinal mud toothpaste for free.”
“Alright.” When there was a bargain to be had, Madam Qian was instantly interested. She opened her mouth wide, and a foul breath wafted out
Seeing her teeth coated in a layer of yellow plaque, a few people nearby felt sickened; those closest were even more disgusted by her bad breath — they all recoiled a few steps.
Madam Qian’s face turned pale in embarrassment.
Su Qingyue was cunning too. She didn’t pick someone with white teeth, where the effects would not be so noticeable, but chose Madam Qian, who had yellow teeth.
The toothpaste did not cure bad breath. She had diagnosed Madam Qian; she didn’t really have bad breath, her teeth were decently aligned but poorly maintained. Madam Qian must not have brushed her teeth for many days, to end up in this state.
As long as she brushed her teeth, her mouth wouldn’t stink, and if she brushed away the plaque, the result would be remarkable.
She spent two cents on the toothpaste just to show this instant change.
Madam Qian took a willow twig, coated it with medicinal mud toothpaste, and received a water bowl from Su Qingyue’s hand, brushing her teeth as instructed.
When Su Qingyue saw that Madam Qian was about to stop after brushing for just a minute, she advised her, “Sister Qian, you can brush a bit more.”
rlkvvo minutes later, Madam Qian spat out the water in her mouth and wiped it with her sleeve.
Qingyue took back the water bowl, “Now Sister Qian, smile again…”
Fearing the others’ disgust, Madam Qian was hesitant.
Su Qingyue made the ends of the medicine mud wrapped in leaves into a sharp cone, sealing the open end with a green grass from a basket, “Here, Sister Qian.
You have to let everyone see the effect on your teeth.”
Madam Qian took the medicinal mud. Owing in favors, she reluctantly opened her mouth.
The crowd’s gaze, originally fixed on Madam Qian, widened. Ding Er was the first to speak, “I was so close to Sister Qian just now, and there was bad breath.
But now it seems that I can’t smell it…”
“Her teeth are much whiter too…” Li Cai observed closely.
“It seems quite effective…”
Promptly, Su Qingyue said, “Sister Qian, do you feel that your mouth is extraordinarily clean? Even salt cannot achieve such an outcome.” “Yes, indeed.” Madam Qian nodded,” This medicine mud seems magical…”
“Of course it’s magical, it cost me several taels of silver!” Su Qingyue displayed a pained expression,” I’m selling it for just two cents a package, I don’t even know where I’m at loss anymore, this item is essential in life.. If you want to buy it, hurry up!”
