Eat in Song Dynasty

209 Strange woman
Not only Chu Hong was stunned in place, but the girl's maid and the men watching all stared wide-eyed.

"Girl, girl."

Fortunately, the girl was still awake, she was only stunned for a moment, and then chased after her.

Seeing this, Chu Hong trotted to keep up.

When he arrived under the shade of the tree, Wen Shu helped the girl to sit down against the tree trunk. The maid came after her and quickly saluted, "Thank you, little lady."

"You're welcome, you're welcome. It's just that the veiled hat is airtight. You should go to your lady."

"This..." The maid hesitated, but did not act immediately.

Wen Shu saw it differently, but she didn't want to take it, and she couldn't force it as an outsider, so she smiled and said to Chu Hong: "Let's go, continue to line up."

At this time, the man who had gone to invite the doctor monk came back together with the doctor monk. After the doctor took the woman's pulse, he took out a pill from the medicine box he carried with him: "Little lady is suffering from heat stroke. You will faint when you are weak in Shang Qi, but if you drink this pill in water, you will wake up from time to time."

As he spoke, he asked the monk from Shaozhuyuan to bring a bowl of warm water.

"Thank you master."

The maid took the medicine and water, melted them, and gave them to the woman in scarlet clothes.

Seeing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and continued to wait in line to eat meat.

Half a quarter of an hour later, as the people in front continued to pack and take away, it was finally Wen Shu's turn.

Chu Xinxing hurriedly followed her in, and saw ten sets of tables and chairs in the Kuolang hall.The two sat down at a table against the wall, and after a while, a monk came up with two large plates of moxibustion pork (barbecue), along with a plate of fresh dates and a plate of salty and sour.

Just got the meat off the grill and it's still sizzling.The meat slices are fat and meaty, the skin is browned, and the spices sprinkled on it are even more fragrant.

"smell good!"

"That's right, then hurry up and start eating, and see that our Bianjing specialties are in vain."

Chu Hong nodded repeatedly, picked up the chopsticks by the table, and started to move. Wen Shu was also very greedy. Although she was from Bianjing, this was the second time she ate the moxibustion pork in Shaozhu Courtyard.

The first time was when she was ten years old and her father brought her here to eat on her birthday. At that time, there was a ceremony for the Buddha Bathing Festival, and the lineup was several times higher than now. The father and daughter lined up for a full hour. just bought it.

And at that time, in order to make money for the shop, money was tight, so father only bought one portion, then led her to sit in a corner, and gave her the whole plate of meat to eat.

At that time, she was really greedy and ignorant, and she really ate a plate by herself. Looking back now, it was really wrong.

"Well, it's delicious. It's delicious. The meat is tender and delicate, and it's less fishy than mutton. No wonder it's well-known and well-deserved."

Miss Chu Si, who ate pork for the first time, was full of praise for the moxibustion pork.

As the richest man in Cangzhou, her family's meat is mainly mutton, occasionally with some venison, quail, chicken, duck and fish. This is really the first time in her life to eat pork.

Firstly, the price of pork is cheap, and most of them are eaten by poor people, and secondly, there are very few pigs in Cangzhou, so Miss Chu Si didn't catch a cold when she first got the name of pork.

After tasting it right now, I know that it is not inferior to mutton.

"Eat more if it tastes good, and order another if it's not enough." Wen Shu warmly greeted.

"Enough, enough, I'm worried that I won't be able to eat such a big plate."

"Your appetite is so small, I don't think this plate is too small." Wen Shu kept chopsticks, and the meat slices on the plate disappeared at an extremely fast speed.

Chu Hong smiled, recalling the previous events, she couldn't help boasting: "You are quite strong. Although the little lady was thin and weak just now, you picked her up and hugged her so easily. It's amazing."

"Hey~ Congratulations, congratulations." Wen Shu chuckled and continued to fight with the meat slices.

After half a cup of tea, Wen Shu leaned on the back of the chair, belched contentedly, and sighed while rubbing her stomach: "Finally I'm full."

Chu Hong looked at her with a smile, and gnawed on a fresh date.

Her appetite was not as big as Wen Shu's, and she couldn't eat two-thirds of it, but Wen Shu's plate was not enough, so seeing that she didn't eat, she ate the rest of hers. Besides, the fresh fruit on the table And the salty sour didn't pull down either.

After the meal, Wen Shu asked the head monk to pack a portion of moxibustion pork for her. She would pick it up later, and then took Chu Hong to the "Dongsi" toilet, which was granted by the prime minister.

Dongsi is built in the east toilet of Daxiangguo Temple, not far from Shaozhuyuan, and it takes about half a cup of tea to walk there.

The "Dongsi" of Daxiangguo Temple can definitely be called the largest "public toilet" in Bianjing City. It is nine rooms wide and four rooms deep (about [-] square meters). Rods, ovens, incense burners, sinks and other facilities.

When the two of them entered, the maidservant in Tsing Yi whom they had seen before was also there. She was standing under the net pole, holding a cap in her hand, and a crimson gown and moon white skirt were draped on the net pole beside them.

Seeing the two of them come in, they recognized the person who had helped them before, and smiled quickly, giving them a little blessing.

Wen Shu and Chu Hong smiled back, and then stepped forward lightly to change clothes under the net.

Because Chun came out to play today, the two of them were not wearing the short riding clothes that were easy to work in the past, but just like ordinary girls, wearing skirts and ankle-length gowns.In order to avoid being accidentally contaminated with filth when going to the toilet, before entering the squatting pit, these long clothes and long skirts that are in the way must be removed.

Wen Shu didn't wear any accessories on her body. After taking off her dress, she could take off her shoes and enter the pit neatly. But Miss Chu Si was different. She had everything from jade pendants and sachets to her body. After all these were removed, it took a lot of effort. effort.

"Cough." At this moment, the squat on the right let out a cough, and the maid who was standing under the net pole immediately walked over with the veiled hat.

She even has to wear a hat when going to the toilet, this little lady cherishes her reputation too much!

Wen Shu clicked his tongue, took off his shoes, walked around the censer and chose an empty squatting pit to enter.Miss Chu followed suit and chose a position.

"Miss is better, are you still dizzy?" A maid asked in a low voice from outside.

"It's much better, but I didn't buy the roasted pork, and I'll make him laugh when I go back." The woman's voice was low, with a bit of disappointment.

"Girl, you don't have to take Biao Gongzi's words seriously. Your own health is important. Let's just pretend we can't hear what he says."

"But I will marry into his family in the future. If he looks down on me in every possible way, how will I deal with myself in the future."

Speaking of this, the maid fell silent, and after a while, she persuaded: "Let's hold the dowry and let him go."

"Hey, let's go." After a sigh, there was a rustling sound of clothes.

While they were talking, Wen Shu was lowering his head to adjust his position so as not to accidentally splash it on his socks. In the censer outside the pit door, sandalwood was curling up, covering all bad smells.

After a while, Wen Shu took out a toilet chip from the chip tube on the side and scraped lightly on the toilet area, then grabbed the wooden spoon in the wooden basin in front of him, scooped up a scoop of clean water, and gently scrubbed the toilet Places and toilets.

After these were done, he got up and walked out of the squatting pit with the toilet chip.

The fourth girl from the outer room had already come out, and the two of them simultaneously threw the washed toilet chips into the bamboo basket next to the clean shelf, and then stood in front of the clean shelf and began to wash their hands.

There are three clean racks in the Dongsi, each with a washbasin, and a large wooden bucket next to it, filled with water, and a three-piece hand cleaning set, ashes, soil, and bath beans are placed on the countertop.

Not far from the net stand is a bonfire, which is filled with hot water. Those who need it can take it by themselves, but the weather is already hot now, so Wen Shu doesn't need it.

After washing their hands with ashes, soil, and bath beans, the two put on their outer shirts and left Dongsi.

　Hahaha, after reading the internal facilities of the "Dongsi" public toilet in the Song Dynasty, have you been surprised by its "tallness"

　　Is it better than modern star toilets?

　　The area of ​​[-] square meters alone is surprising enough.When Xiao Gu first read the information, he was also surprised.

　　The Dongsi described in the article is the actual layout of the public toilets of Buddhist temples in the Song Dynasty. The original picture for reference is Jinshan Temple in Zhenjiang, which was also in the Song Dynasty.

　　Although the temples are different, Jinshan Temple has such a scale. It is located in the capital and is also the Daxiangguo Temple of the Royal Temple.The force will never be lower than it.

　　In the comment area of ​​the book circle, I posted a post about "Dongsi" earlier, which contains the interior view of Jinshan Temple Dongsi. Interested friends can go and have a look.

　　After reading the whole information, what surprised me the most was the incident of taking off my shoes to go to the toilet.

　　Just imagine, taking off your shoes and going to the toilet with only white socks on. This is a test of the quality of a "toilet user".

　　But if you don't pay attention and the position is not aligned, your white socks may turn into yellow socks. What an embarrassing thing this is.

　　I don't know, what surprised you the most?

　　Welcome to leave a message in the comment area, let's interact and see who is surprised in the same way.
