Chapter 102: Comb and Toothbrush
Perhaps this was the most divisive moment since they all came together, especially between Chen Mu and Dong Junwei, two heavyweight figures.This chapter was first shared on the Ñøv€lß1n platform.
Dong Junwei turned her head and asked, "Tang Jing, what do you think?"
Tang Jing, as the one who proposed this plan, had not expressed her opinion from the beginning until now.
For a long time, she had always given the impression of being an advisor, but after thoroughly analyzing the situation, she would let others make the decision, never taking a stand on anything. In this regard, she was even more low-key than Chen Mu.
But now that she was asked directly, she couldn't remain silent.
"I can only say that I'm 80% sure nothing will go wrong."
"Not enough!" Dong Junwei shook her head.
"But with Chen Mu's methods, it should be more than 90%." Tang Jing added.
Dong Junwei fell into silence for a moment before finally nodding. "Alright, but Chen Mu's protective measures must be in place."
Chen Mu nodded.
It was already evening, and they certainly wouldn't have enough time today.
Although cats liked to frolic at night, Little Huang had never come out at night because Du Jiajia needed to sleep.
After dinner, Du Jiajia cheerfully started to clean up the tableware.
On Chen Mu's side, the work on the door's gap was mostly completed. Next was to create a staircase passage for transporting goods and tunnels for each room.
As for the previously mentioned overhead crane, it was still in the planning stage, and there was no time to implement it yet.
Chen Mu was looking up at the entire shelving when He Ying approached leisurely.
"I thought Dong Junwei would suggest a vote, and I was thinking that I finally had a chance to cast a vote."
"You mean what just happened?"
"Yeah."
"What is your opinion?"
"I don't have any particular thoughts, but since Du Jiajia wants to try, I will definitely vote in favor."
"That's why Dong Junwei didn't suggest a voting decision, because almost everyone shares the same idea as you."
"That's true," He Ying nodded.
"But that's not the main reason," Chen Mu said.
"What else is there?"
"While voting decisions are relatively fair, many times they are used as a means to evade responsibility. Dong Junwei obviously disdains such behavior."
...
After dinner, everyone basically didn't engage in high-intensity work. Chen Mu only worked on making some small items needed for daily life based on the remaining mental power of the day.
Like combs.
The most probable alternative might be soap or hand wash.
Hand wash was available in the bathroom.
But just like shampoo, these things were currently not essential, so it was unlikely anyone would go there specifically for them.
"Compared to shampoo, I actually wish we had toothpaste more."
Zhao Xiaoyan sighed, seemingly aware that it was just wishful thinking.
"Even if we have toothpaste, we don't have toothbrushes."
"Can Chen Mu make toothbrushes now?"
Whenever anyone had a new idea, everyone instinctively turned their gaze to Chen Mu.
Chen Mu spread his hands, "This is really difficult."
The difficulty of making a toothbrush was many times higher than making a comb.
Moreover, with a comb, it didn't matter if it was made a bit roughly, but that wouldn't work for a toothbrush. Some people had high demands for the softness and hardness of the bristles.
Making the handle of a toothbrush was not very difficult for Chen Mu, but the bristles were far from being realized, and he wasn't even sure what material to use.
Currently, everyone could only rinse their mouths every day, using their fingers or a plastic stick to rub the surface of their teeth and gums, nothing more.
Chen Mu turned to Tang Jing and asked, "Can we use plastic for the bristles of the toothbrush?"
Tang Jing nodded, "If possible, nylon would be best, but if not, polypropylene would do."
"What about plastic utensils?"
"Yeah, most disposable utensils are made of polyethylene or polypropylene, and they can be used, at least."
Though that was the case, Chen Mu's biggest problem now wasn't the material but the craftsmanship.
Let alone the bristles, it would be quite challenging for him to make such fine plastic strands.
Tang Jing added, "Moreover, the bristles of the toothbrush are not just a matter of using some nylon or plastic strands; they need to be rounded at the front end; otherwise, they might hurt the teeth and gums."
The idea of the toothbrush had to be temporarily shelved.
However, since the topic had been brought up, Chen Mu eventually made a plastic stick in the shape of a toothbrush for each person. Tang Jing suggested winding some cotton thread around one end of the plastic stick, which could barely serve as a toothbrush.
It was evident that despite all the improvements and the better days at Qiming, various small problems continued to arise.
