Chapter 58 Who invented this thing?
After half a stick of incense.
The store owner finally prepared two sets of clothes, wrapped them and handed them to Gu Chan.
Gu Chan asked, "How much silver is left?"
"The two sets of clothes total eight taels of silver, and I still want you for twelve taels."
"Just ask me for ten taels. For the remaining two taels, you can get me some better quality menstrual tapes." Gu Chan stared at the boss and said seriously.
Before time travel, she had read TV series or novels and said that the thing used by women in ancient times when they had menstruation was called a menstrual belt.
She didn't know if it was called like this in this world, so let's take a look at it first.
The boss looked at her with confusion, "What menstrual belt?"
"Oh! It's what women use every month when they have their menstruation." Gu Chan said angrily.
The boss was startled, "Oh, you're talking about menstrual notes, right?"
"Ah? Menstrual note?" Gu Chan was dumbfounded.
Dry!
What is this thing? She has never heard of it!
Why are the things used by women during menstruation in this world different from those in ancient China?
The boss laughed and asked, "You're a kid, why did you buy this thing?"
"You're really funny. Can't I buy it for my mother? My mother doesn't use it, but my aunt does too!" Gu Chan said coldly.
The boss touched his chin awkwardly and didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he walked behind the counter, bent down and took out a brocade box. He took out a small cylindrical bamboo tube the length of an adult's index finger and handed it to Gu Chan.
Gu Chan took a look at this thing and was surprised.
This small bamboo tube contains high-quality white cotton, which is tied into a round bar shape with very soft thin threads, and there is a pulling wire buried in the middle of the white cotton strips.
"It's interesting! It turns out that women in this world already use tampons. I thought they were using menstrual belts!"
After understanding what the menstrual note was, Gu Chan couldn't help but exclaim in her heart.
Sure enough, the worldviews are different. Even in ancient times, many things were different.
There is no doubt that tampons can be thrown away immediately after use, unlike menstrual belts, which have to be washed repeatedly. This is indeed convenient for ancient women.
But Gu Chan was curious again, who invented such a thing?
Is it possible that another time traveler came to this world before her? Otherwise, it would be difficult for people in this world to invent this thing!
The boss saw Gu Chan looking at the menstrual strips in a daze, he laughed and said, "Okay, stop reading, it's a thing for women, what are you looking at, a kid? These menstrual strips are cheap, twenty cents each. I’ll give you ten pieces of silver.”
"Okay, then you can ask me for ten taels of silver." Gu Chan returned to her senses and responded.
The boss counted nine more items from the box and handed them to her, and then gave her ten taels of silver.
Gu Chan took the menstrual note, collected the money, and left with the two packed sets of clothes.
Back to the cold noodle stall.
By this time, Ma Zheng had already eaten with a satisfied look on his face, and was sitting at the table waiting a little impatiently.
Gu Chan divided the clothes she bought into one set and handed them into his hands, "Here they are, given to you."
"Boss...you...will you buy me new clothes?"
"Woooooooo..."
Ma Zheng took the clothes, with a look of disbelief on his face at first, and then burst into tears and started to cry.
Gu Chan was stunned!
Isn’t it just a set of clothes? What's there to cry about?
She was really speechless at this moment.
Ma Zheng suddenly rushed up, opened his arms and held Gu Chan in his arms, crying and saying, "You will always be my boss and my good brother. I will follow you for the rest of my life." Ouch! Your nose is dripping on my shoulders, how disgusting!" Gu Chan looked disgusted and pushed the crybaby away.
Ma Zheng stopped crying and quickly reached out to wipe away the tears and snot from his face.
Gu Chan said angrily, "Okay, don't cry. I'm a man. If you bleed but don't shed tears, there's nothing to cry about."
"Yeah! The boss is right."
"Let's go! Let's go to Kaiyuan Pharmacy to find a room and put on new clothes. From now on, we have to love ourselves, be kind to ourselves, and spend more money on ourselves." Gu Chan waved his hand.
Ma Zheng nodded quietly.
Then the two of them said nothing more and immediately went to Kaiyuan Pharmacy with their new clothes.
Zhou Dachuan never expected that Gu Chan would come over today.
No, when Gu Chan took Ma Zheng over, he was still standing behind the counter with a confused look on his face, "Why are you here?"
"Why, you're not welcome?" Gu Chan asked with a smile.
"Of course you're welcome, come and have a seat!" Zhou Dachuan quickly waved his invitation.
Gu Chan waved her hand, "I won't sit down anymore. I want to borrow a room from you, take a hot bath and change into new clothes."
"Hey! Why are you thinking about dressing up today? Is there a happy event?" Zhou Dachuan became interested.
Gu Chan rolled her eyes and said with an idea, "What a happy event. I developed a medicine last night, so I came to you today to help me take a look. If it is suitable, I will give you the medicine directly. No Passed by Zhao Erniu.”
"Oh! This relationship is so good! Then you all sit down first, and I will ask someone to go upstairs to prepare a room for you, and then prepare a bucket of hot water for you." Zhou Dachuan became extremely enthusiastic in an instant and hurriedly asked someone to go upstairs. Get ready.
Gu Chan and the other two sat on the chairs next to them and waited.
Ma Zheng put his mouth to Gu Chan's ear and whispered, "Boss, have you really developed a new drug?"
"We'll talk about it later. Look at how enthusiastic he is towards us now. This is called a weapon that scares away rats."
"Boss, you are still awesome. I admire you so much!" Ma Zheng couldn't help but raise his thumb at Gu Chan.
Gu Chan just smiled and didn't say much.
After a while, the room upstairs was ready, and Zhou Dachuan personally led Gu Chan to the door of the room, "You go in and wash up! I'll wait for you downstairs."
"Thank you, Shopkeeper Zhou." Gu Chan thanked her politely.
"You're welcome, it's me who should thank you. You are my little God of Wealth! Of course I have to provide for you." Zhou Dachuan laughed and praised you.
Gu Chan didn't take it seriously, led Ma Zheng into the room, and closed the door behind her back.
With a smile on his face, Zhou Dachuan happily went downstairs to wait.
inside the house.
After the two came in, the atmosphere became a little awkward.
She had her menstruation in the morning and accidentally soiled her pants and her legs, so Gu Chan thought of borrowing a room here to take a bath and wash off the menstrual dirt on her body.
But the problem is, now that Ma Zheng is here, she can't take off her pants in front of Ma Zheng, right?
Ma Zheng was very well-behaved. He put the clothes on the table and said to Gu Chan, "Come on, boss, I will help you take off your pants. You wash them in the tub first. I will rub your back. I will wash them again after you finish washing them." ”
After saying that, he squatted directly in front of Gu Chan and reached out to help her take off her pants.
Without thinking, Gu Chan almost reacted instinctively, raised her right leg and kicked him away.
