Chapter 16 The goal is to have no cavities

As soon as she caught the fish, the baby in her belly suddenly kicked her again. No, it should be said that it was like dancing, moving very happily. Bai Ruozhu couldn't help laughing, "Baby, are you a foodie too? Are you greedy for fish?"

The baby moved twice more, as if in response, or in protest against the word "foodie".

When they got home, Lin Ping'er and Bai Yihong had already finished their discussion. Lin Ping'er was feeding pigs in the yard. She was visibly relieved when Bai Ruozhu came back. She said reproachfully: "I'll tell you what to buy next time. Don't bother me." Tired."

"Mom, I'm not that precious anymore." Bai Ruozhu said with a hint of coquettishness in her tone, "Look what I bought!"

She smiled and lifted up the fat-headed fish, "I will make fish head and tofu soup for everyone tonight, keep it delicious!"

Bai Yihong saw that the fish was quite big, so he hurriedly took it in fear that Bai Ruozhu would be tired.

"Hey, where did you buy such a big fish?" Lin Ping'er asked in surprise.

"I just saw a fishmonger on a donkey cart at the entrance of the village. He sold the rest and gave me a discount." Bai Ruozhu quietly stuck out her tongue. She had to lie to use the things in the space. Her pear was really so big.

"Eat fish to replenish your body. It's time to replenish your body and your children." Bai Yihong said and walked to the well in the backyard. "I'll clean up the fish."

After getting the fish that had been killed and cleaned, Bai Ruozhu made a fish head and tofu soup, chopped the remaining fish meat into pieces and made some delicious fish balls, added some to the soup, and mixed the fish balls with green vegetables and cucumbers. Ordered sweet and sour fish balls. The whole family couldn't help but swallow their saliva when they smelled the aroma of Bai Ruozhu's cooking. Lin Ping'er couldn't help but muttered: "Why didn't you realize that girl Ruozhu is so good at her crafts before?"

Bai Yihong couldn't help laughing, "Your precious daughter used to be very naughty and never let her enter the kitchen, but this girl follows me and learns everything quickly!"

Seeing Bai Yihong's proud face, Lin Ping'er couldn't help but laugh, "Stop putting gold on your face."

When Bai Ruozhu heard this, she went over and took one arm of each of her parents, and said with a smile: "I learned everything quickly from my father, and I also followed my mother's skill. Why do you think I am so lucky?"

Bai Yihong and Lin Ping'er couldn't help laughing. Lin Ping'er went to nod Bai Ruozhu's head, "You girl, you're so proud of yourself."

The family had a full meal happily, everyone's face was glowing, and they seemed to be in much better spirits.

Six days passed in the blink of an eye, and Bai Ruozhu had made a toothpaste. Although it was not the recipe she was proud of in her previous life, it was very rare at this time.

Unfortunately, the materials she had on hand were limited, and the toothpaste she made was dark brown in color, which didn’t look very good.

"Ruozhu, are you saying that this thing can clean your teeth?" Bai Ruozhu recommended the toothpaste to his family. Bai Zehao asked with some disbelief, "You are tinkering with those medicinal materials these days just for brushing your teeth? Then use tooth powder, right? Come on, medicinal materials are so expensive."

Bai Zehao's words were a little painful, but Bai Ruozhu said with a smile: "This is made in large quantities, so the cost is not too high, and the effect is not comparable to tooth powder. You can take a handkerchief and rub it on your teeth. It's best." Come as I am.”

As she spoke, she took a handkerchief dipped in brown paste and started to demonstrate brushing her teeth. After doing it again, she took water to rinse her mouth, and the whole family followed suit.

"Does this thing of yours have the effect of reducing swelling and relieving pain?" Bai Zepei suddenly asked. Recently, he talks less and less. He stays in the house and studies hard every day. Even in the last family meeting, he barely said anything. .

Bai Ruozhu nodded, "Yes, it is effective for blistering in the mouth and bleeding gums. If you keep using it, your teeth will be whiter, and you will be less likely to suffer from cavities and other oral problems."

When making toothpaste, Bai Ruozhu always thought jokingly: In this era of life, the ultimate goal is to have no cavities.

Bai Zepei nodded and said nothing, but Bai Ruozhu suddenly looked at him and asked, "Second brother, are you having bubbles in your mouth?"

"I'm a little angry, I'm going to get better soon." Bai Zepei looked a little unnatural and his expression was very stiff. No wonder he didn't talk much recently. It was because he felt uncomfortable in his mouth and was afraid that his family would be worried if he spoke out.

"Boy, don't tire yourself out when you study hard. Just do your best." Bai Yihong suddenly said.

Bai Ruozhu thinks that Bai Yihong is very good. Unlike some fathers who are too eager for their children to succeed and repeatedly tell their children to study and be admitted as scholars, Bai Yihong's words of "do your best" can prove that what he cares about more is Bai Zepei's body.

"Yes, second brother, you can perform better in the examination room when you are in good health. From now on, you can use this toothpaste every morning and night. I still have a lot of it. If you don't use it, it will go bad. Don't save it for me." Ruozhu said and handed a box of toothpaste to Bai Zepei.

"Oh, okay." Bai Zepei still didn't say much and didn't move his mouth much. Bai Ruozhu guessed that he had a serious ulcer in his mouth, so it was a little difficult to speak.

Lin Ping'er said worriedly: "I'm going to cook mung bean soup for you right now. Drink it to reduce the heat." After saying that, she left like a gust of wind.

Later, when the family discussed toothpaste again, they all said that the toothpaste cools the mouth after use and is quite comfortable. Of course, the teeth will not become whiter immediately after using it for the first time, but the family is very supportive of Bai Ruozhu's idea. item "invention".

Bai Ruozhu took the opportunity to propose a trip to town to take the toothpaste to the drugstore and buy something for the baby in her belly.

After hearing this, Lin Ping'er said: "I just want to go to town to buy some things. Let's go together tomorrow and ask your elder brother to be our guard."

Bai Ruozhu covered her mouth and laughed. She knew what Lin Ping'er wanted to buy. It was her eldest brother's betrothal gift. She should ask him to accompany her when running errands.

Even with Bai Zehao's stable character, he couldn't help but blush when he mentioned marriage, and he giggled twice.

The next day, the three of them went to the town together. In order to save time, Bai Ruozhu proposed to divide the army into two groups. Bai Zehao accompanied Lin Ping'er to purchase while she went to the drug store to find someone to discuss business.

When Lin Ping'er heard this, she immediately objected and said, "Ask your eldest brother to accompany you. The things Mom bought are not heavy, so I can take them myself."

Bai Ruozhu was afraid that it would be inconvenient for her eldest brother to speak there, so she hurriedly said: "Otherwise, you can send me to the drug store to do some shopping. When you're done, come to the drug store to find me. I won't run anywhere."

After hearing this, Lin Ping'er thought it was feasible, so she agreed. She and Bai Zehao sent Bai Ruozhu to the door of Du's pharmacy, and then rushed to the market.

The shopkeeper had already made a note of Bai Ruozhu and greeted her with a smile as soon as he saw her. "Mrs. Bai, you are here. Please come in quickly. The third young master will be here soon."

Bai Ruozhu politely thanked the shopkeeper and followed him to the backyard. The shopkeeper asked the waiter to make tea for Bai Ruozhu. Bai Ruozhu smiled and said, "Just plain water."
