My live broadcast room communicates ancient and modern

Bathhouse.

"Oh, I'm always in charge, why are you here?" Boss Zhai stood up in a hurry.

Mrs. Xu took a look, she was too busy today and there were not enough people.

The fourth uncle and the second uncle were still on the other side of the river. Only Lao Zhaitou's cousin was left in the bathhouse.

She directed: "Quickly, let's put up the screen. Look at the corners and nooks and crannies that have not been tidied up neatly. Then tidy up again, if there are distinguished guests coming. Also light all the lamps, don't save candles, make the room bright."

"But the bathers haven't come back yet."

"I have already asked someone to call Wang Daye and the others. When they enter the house, you can tell them that it was me who told them to use soap to wash off the fishy smell on themselves first, especially the fingernails, before giving it to others. Rub. Don't talk so much when you're bathing."

Since many businessmen from out of town have arrived, these bathers can finally catch people talking nonsense in the winter. They talk more and more nonsense every day.

For example, to describe smelly, I heard that they can do a lot of it.

The souba smell is the sour smell of sweat.It smells like mold.Earthy smell.

There are also some that are fishy, ​​have a hala smell, and have a noisy smell.

As a result, the merchants were still thinking about asking her what the noisy smell was when they were eating. In fact, she couldn't tell.Tian Xin, on the other hand, said that it was the taste of the modern Oriental Leaf Snake Grass Water.Yes, that means no answer.

This just describes a simple smell.

I heard that Guan Ertuo also made a lot of jokes when he checked on people's pulse.

I asked people whether it hurts when I am standing still, when I bounce around, or when I feel stiff.Is it a pain in the calf muscles, a soreness in the bones, or a hissing, tingling pain in the teeth?

In short, it’s funny to outsiders when they hear my speech. They say you have so many adjectives, and those who don’t understand think we are making a fool of ourselves.In fact, the locals just talked like this, and they didn't pretend to be fun.We see that others don’t understand, so we just keep having fun.

Bathhouses are often full of laughter and laughter due to the different languages ​​​​of different places.

Mrs. Xu was very worried that if she didn't say this alone, General Huo would come later, and the bather would be having fun and laughing with General Huo again.

"Besides, don't accept money from others. Charge it to my account and mark it as hospitality." Mrs. Xu left after saying this.

She had to cook quickly.General Huo's meal, the caravan's meal, and a private room for General Huo and others to eat alone after taking a bath.

Old Man Zhai hurriedly chased him out, but he only had time to ask: "In what style will the arrangements be made?"

"The most popular one!"

This sentence makes it clear. The best thing to do is to arrange things according to the instructions of Emperor Yu.

Old man Zhai hurriedly returned to the bathhouse and lit the lamp according to Mrs. Xu's request, feeling worried at the same time.

He wants to complain and always calls the shots. Have you forgotten that we can't write again?

I don’t know why, but I always forget about this.

He always casually asks them to remember this and that.

Alas, in fact, as people in the village trade with each other, they are becoming more and more aware of the importance of literacy.

Old Man Zhai thought to himself: When will a literacy class be held? Even if his generation is scrapped, at least the next generation will be able to mark the word "entertainment".

Just because you can't write these two words, you can't go back to the boss to make the decision.Even if they were free, they didn't say anything, but I would be embarrassed if you couldn't even do such a small thing well.As time goes by, there are more and more capable people around the Xu family. Don't eliminate the stupid boys in the village.

This is something the villagers are secretly worried about.Especially when I heard that the Xu family will build a house next year and there is not enough manpower. They are destined to recruit capable young men from other villages to help.

A smart young man will seize the opportunity to compete with Erdaohe's strength and eyesight.As long as the strong young men from other villages are given a chance, they will definitely compete to stay in the Xu family for a long time to earn wages.

After half an hour.

Outside the bathhouse, Jiubao took a few steps back and looked at the plaques everywhere: "Xiyu Xu, ah, eats fish. But the name is confusing. Young Master, does it have some origin and deep meaning?"

In fact, Huo Yunqian was also puzzled.

Based on the knowledge he currently possesses, he really doesn't know what the meaning is.

But it's easy to understand to promise each other with your body, and take a bath.It's just too straightforward and not subtle enough.

Jiubao suddenly muttered: "...Is this you Huo Xu?"

He is really talented.

The double doors of the bathhouse were wide open, and all service staff were in place: "Five distinguished guests, please come inside."

When Huo Yunqian came in, there was a sign on the outside door handle that said the reserved area was reserved.

Even the redundant bath master was outside, cleaning the shoes of the five distinguished guests.

The five best bath masters also did not enter the inner room, waiting for the rattle to be called outside at any time.

Yes, this is the treatment of their village bath emperor.

The villagers brainstormed and talked about it at the meeting in advance. The key point was to pay attention to the privacy of the guests.

When the distinguished guests change their clothes, they must first hand over a large white handkerchief that is wrapped around the waist and reaches the knees, and then immediately turn their backs without looking at the other person's body, so that they face the wall.

When a distinguished guest takes off his clothes, he will bow his head and ask if he needs to fold his clothes neatly.

If they don't say anything, you touch them again.He didn't say anything and just pretended to be dead.It means that the distinguished guest has a servant.

Therefore, even the bath masters cannot wander around the room in short shorts, or sit there staring at people, asking over and over again: "Are you ready for the bath?" That won't work, and you won't be pushed.

There is a rattle next to the bathtub. If necessary, it will be shaken to ask people to get in again.

In short, Erdaohe and his wife absolutely pay attention to privacy.

At the meeting, Liu Laozhu said regretfully, "Alas, our village is short of mutes."That's called absolute privacy for VIPs.

At this time, the inner room was divided into three partitions with screens, and the largest bath was filled with fragrant water.

A small wooden table is placed next to the pool.

There is a small wooden plate on the table. The wooden plate is divided into four small partitions. The wooden partitions are also engraved with the type of toiletries.

Then look for the small plate placed in each partition.

What is striking is that next to the bath products, there is another orange scented essential oil smoked with a round cake candle.

Huo Yunqian didn't know how to describe this oil body, but after taking a quick look, he guessed that it was the incense made by Xu Tianxin.

He sniffed it with his nose and found that the orange smell was quite strong. He used to use agarwood.

Huo Yunqian was a little confused. Are public baths so appropriate now?

Is this his first time in a place like this and he has little experience, or is it just like Erdaohe?
Just when he was about to ask the cashier in another cubicle, the three children that Xu Laosan picked up came in.

They went to the three bathhouses one after another, opened the food boxes and brought out cakes, hot tea, and frozen red fruits. The red fruits were covered with white frost and looked pretty good.

The three brothers picked up by Xu Laosan are named Dapeng, Dafei and Daniao respectively.

The greenhouse placed a small locked box where Huo Yunqian would see it while taking a bath.

He lowered his head and said respectfully: "Grandma asked you to put your valuables here. Here is the key. Please keep it, distinguished guest."

Dapeng took his two younger brothers out of the bathhouse and let out a long breath.If you ask him, this is not VIP treatment. What's the point of taking a bath alone without anyone talking?
Humans are obviously social animals, but I really don’t understand the brain circuits of noble people.

It was quite depressing inside.

The three brothers hurried back to Xiyuxu and helped the kitchen cook.

Ever since the three brothers came to the Xu family, Mrs. Xu showed joy even from the beginning. She had robbed her son and even held a toilet bowl for her son.

Mrs. Xu thought that these three boys had the guts to cross mountains and ridges in such weather. At least they were courageous, perseverant, and brave and careful children.

Moreover, at this young age, the child is in adolescence. If you have good education at this age, don’t go down the wrong path, or you may be able to stand on your own in the future.

But she thought so in her heart, but on the surface, she had a dispensable attitude towards these three boys at first. She wanted to observe their character first.

After observation, I found that he was really hardworking and took the initiative to eat less even though he was not full.

There were two times when a caravan suddenly came to the caravan in the middle of the night. The adults were so tired that they couldn't get up in the middle of the night. The whole table was so tired that they had been sick a while ago. The man named Dapeng got up immediately and cooked dumplings for the caravan. See When money came to support him, he quietly went outside to collect firewood and did what he could.

The second boy, Da Fei, was running in the smoke and snow in the middle of the night, wheezing and panting, to go to the village to inform.

Mrs. Xu asked him why he didn't catch the car. Da Fei didn't answer, but he could feel that the child didn't dare to touch any property of the Xu family.On weekdays, we get along very well with the whole family, and we don’t fight or compete with each other. We just do as much work as we can.

It was only at this time that Mrs. Xu was busy and ordered: "Eat well and don't be reluctant to wear the cotton-padded clothes given to you. I miss my niece and my sister. I have so many worries at such a young age. You have to live well on your own first."

You must know that Mrs. Xu usually doesn't like to discipline others. If you can make her mind her own business, that means she has some status.She has such a busy day, how can she have time to train this or that.

Then something happened, which was a qualitative change.

It was the man named Dapeng. When he was cleaning the bathroom, he found that the guest had lost some silver coins, roughly one, two and a half, almost two taels.

Dapeng found Mrs. Xu and said, "Ah Nai, those merchants have to travel such a long distance in the winter, and it's not easy to earn some money for escorting. People who lose their silver coins will be very anxious."Quickly ask who lost it, and be careful not to let anyone take advantage of it by mistake.

This incident made Mrs. Xu immediately pat the boy on the shoulder and thought: With your good character, it is fate that you come here.

To use an inappropriate analogy, strangers like cats and dogs squatting at the doorstep have to be raised, not to mention children without a father or a mother.If there is no guide, there will be no way. No matter how troublesome it is, accept it. It’s just you three, my eldest grandson.

And as Mrs. Xu's attitude changed, the three eldest grandsons even got several looks from their godfather. Mr. Xu said: "They are so capable, and their brains are still sharp, and they look stupid."

On the other hand, Xu Lao Er became the second father, and Xu Lao Si became the little godfather, which was very welcome.Inexplicably promoted in the seniority, it is good to have more people in the family who are devoted to the Xu family.

Alas, Zhao Dashan asked Zhao Dashan to look for Xu Tianxin's grandma's house, but he couldn't find Tian Xin's uncle and grandma. He also wondered why Tian Xin didn't look for them since he was so famous.

After investigation, it happened that it was the day that their mother and niece almost died in the summer. Tian Xin's uncle sold the house and I heard that he reconciled and divorced his wife. They had no children and gave half of the house money to her. , I took my mother away with my luggage on my back.

They also belong to those who have no way to escape.

Zhao Dashan helped find out that Tian Xin's uncle took a river boat from the county that day and guessed that he went to the south.

In short, the Xu family actually has too few relatives, but there are a lot of "relatives with different surnames" here, which is good.

Isn't that right? Ever since Mrs. Xu's attitude changed, the eldest grandson that the three picked up has been leading the trot when working.

After entering the room, Xiao Sun first told Mrs. Xu: "Grandma, those noble people have already taken in. I see that he looks quite satisfied. What should I do next? I'll light the fire."

"Hey, okay." Mrs. Xu immediately told Yu Qinniang what dishes were prepared.Not worried about the food being cooked for the caravan on the table, I took a special look before leaving.

She wanted to find the eldest sister of the Bai family, Lao Bai's sister and Bai Xiucai's aunt. She wanted to borrow the Bai family's shop and arrange for General Huo and others to come here to have dinner.The kind that Bai Xiucai's aunt would avoid. If she trusted her, she would put the goods there.

Mrs. Xu was worried, would General Huo like the noise of people talking in our shop?You must find a quiet place.Besides, the tables in the restaurant are fully booked. Today, even Liu Laozhu’s family has to set up a table to entertain people from all the villages who are having dinner. By the way, he can help her with three things. One is that the person her granddaughter wants is to bring the bamboo sticks to the old couple. The couple wanted to go to Erdao River.

The other two things were, of course, that the whole family moved to the village to free up people.

Another thing is to transfer the three grandsons from the household registration of Xishan Town.

I heard that there was an upright friend there who was barely close to Liu Laozhu, and his relationship was slightly worse than that of Lao Lei. This person's in-laws were the chief registrar of Xishan Town, and he was in charge of his counterpart.Let's open the household registration of a child who has no father and mother, and let the eldest sister of the three grandchildren come too. Tsk, otherwise, I heard that it is not easy to raise a daughter who is just one year old. It is better to transfer the household registration to Erdao River. What can I do to support my daughter?

There should be no need to ask Zhao Dashan for this matter, so that Dashan would not have to go to Xishan Town Zhenting to cause trouble.

Therefore, Mrs. Xu did not intend to ask for money for the lamb and scorpion that Liu Laozhu had eaten, which was equivalent to a banquet for those who were doing business for her family.By the way, it's just vanity that earns face.

Including the mutton soup that the villagers drank today, Mrs. Xu did not intend to ask for money.

Doesn’t this mean we can fish until February again?If you occupy more of our fishing and salt quotas, you can get the money from anywhere.What are we planning with these folks who have just started living as human beings?

What Mrs. Xu said in her heart was that everyone had just lived the life that one person should live.

Don't look at how happy they are, it seems that no matter how much they earn now, it can't stop their poor foundation to the extreme. It can be seen that the lives they lived in the past were not as good as modern pigs and dogs.

Their village hopes that everyone can have two changes of clothes every season. If they are too tired from the farm work, they can stew meat every now and then. If they want water, every family should have a well in the yard. They dare to put salt in cooking and let the whole family eat. Full and full is the kind of life at the lowest level in modern times. It takes two years of stupid work to reach this level.

And having paper in the toilet is something that even the villagers would not dare to think about, so don’t worry about it.

So this time I brought out two sheep bones to make soup for everyone, but there was not much meat.Every time she would take out the soup from the bone sticks, she would use the bone sticks to cook it again. She wished she could reuse the boneless nutrition and feed it to the dogs. She would ask for any money from the village.

But just this simple thing made her reputation of always calling the shots go even higher.This is what Mrs. Xu didn't expect.The more people in the village behave like this, the less willing she is to make more calculations.

At this time, the Bai family.

Bai Meizi said simply: "Emma, ​​sister, what you said is just a heretic. You can't believe it. I will leave immediately and leave the room empty without disturbing you. They are all VIPs, so they can steal it." I have some Ganoderma lucidum and ginseng, but I can’t help but think it’s not good enough, so I won’t take it for free. Besides, if you only look at the cashier, you’ll be careful, but I know him, he already has a lot of money.”

Mrs. Xu thought to herself: You are right, even Qian Yuanwai there is not an ordinary cannon.

When she first came in, Mrs. Xu saw that Bai Mei's expression was a little bad, as if she was quarreling with her man.Although it is still so refreshing: "What's wrong? By the way, Mr. Bai Xiaoxiucai, why didn't you come to join in the fun today?"

Bai Meizi couldn't hold it back, and she didn't treat Mrs. Xu as an outsider. She thought for a while and complained: "Hey, sister, do you think my mother is old and confused? I didn't tell anyone, just give the world a girl." . The girl's parents arrived this morning, and the girl also arrived. We didn't know about it until now, but we didn't come today. You know something about my nephew, who pays attention to etiquette and doesn't want his family's reputation to be said to be a scholar. The gentleman is arrogant, no matter what he thinks in his heart, he is polite when meeting guests at home and wants to make it clear."

Bai Meizi continued:

“But my nephew is not very angry with his grandmother, but he is very angry with my elder brother.

Me too, I was so angry.

I told my man just now that my mother is an old fool.Ordinary boy, if you want to be tied up by your side and quickly carry on the family line, you can.

This cannot be allowed to have a baby early and be selfishly locked away.

To be honest, my nephew wakes up early and studies late at night, just to get out of this poor farmhouse.

To avoid not waking up and listening to the crow of roosters, stepping in chicken excrement when entering the yard, or squatting in the cold cat building on a rainy and cloudy day.It's not dark yet, everyone in the village is sleeping, and only the dogs are barking. What kind of good day is this?
I still don’t understand anyone I talk to in the village. No matter how well-off I look for, I can’t find any rural girl.

He was going to be an official in the city, and he was going to have some eyebrow drawings with the official lady. But if something like this happened, then he definitely couldn't agree to it. Isn't this just looking for trouble to offend someone.

My eldest brother said earlier that Mu Yan must go to the city if he is lucky enough to marry an official lady.As a father, he doesn't even follow him into the city to live together, and he will never cause trouble. "

Mrs. Xu clicked her tongue when she heard this.

Indeed, some objectively harsh environments do exist.

That's why she agreed that her granddaughter would spend money and clean up the house next year.

Go ahead, even if you open the window and lie in the yard to attract mosquitoes, she doesn't care.

Isn't her granddaughter more arrogant and educated than Bai Muyan?But women cannot take the imperial examination, and our family is not from the city, so this is the condition.You can't leave and you can't leave it behind.

It's better to spend money, lest her granddaughter, a good modern child, go crazy in the countryside.
