Eat in Song Dynasty

Chapter 37 Muxiang Pavilion

Carrying their bags, the two left Xiaocha Lane, turned onto Xizi Street, passed through two crowded markets, and arrived at Yutang Lane on the opposite side.

Yutang Lane, just by hearing the name, you can tell what is most operated in this alley.

The people of Tokyo City love to be clean. In summer, they have to bathe almost every day. Even in winter, those who can afford it will wash once every two days.

It's not that they feel how dirty they are, but that in addition to providing hot water for bathing, the bathhouse also has many other services that make Tokyoites who love to enjoy themselves linger, such as: men's four events and women's four events.

The two entered a perfume store in the alley, Muxiang Pavilion.

As soon as he entered the door, Mrs. Tong, the charming shopkeeper lady, came up to greet her: "Hey, the two young ladies are here. Do you want to take a bath today, or do you want to take all four?"

Wang Ling: "All four things."

Wen Shu: "Single bubble."

The corners of Tong's eyes curled up, and she said with a smile: "Okay, those two young ladies will go to the tea room to drink tea first, and I will let people go to the back room to prepare water."

The two nodded and walked towards the tea room. As soon as they sat down, they waited for the girl to come up and pour tea, which was Muxiangge's special tea, jasmine tea.

"Why did you choose single brew this time? Didn't you like to have your back rubbed very much?" Wang Ling asked, taking a sip of tea.

Wen Shu glanced at her sideways, and sighed, "You don't know what's going on with me now, of course you can save as much as you can, how dare you covet enjoyment."

You know, it only costs [-] yuan for a single bubble, but [-] yuan for a full set of four items, so she should save it.

Thinking of the fifty pennies she owed, Wang Ling also felt worried for her, looked around and said in a low voice: "If you want me to say, you should tell your father the truth, fifty pennies, how do you raise it yourself! "

Wen Shu is silent, now it's a question of whether she wants to talk about it or not, it's useless if she does.

She shook her head: "It's useless to talk about it. The shop at home just suffered a disaster. After repairing the shop, there is not much money left. It's good to have food now."

"Ah, here." Wang Ling didn't expect her family to be in such a difficult situation.

It stands to reason that the Wen family has opened a store for so many years, so it is unlikely that they can't afford fifty strings, but when they think of the girls' private school that Wen Shu studied, they understand a little bit.

Thirty years of cultivation, thanks to Uncle Wen's willingness to do so!
She is also regarded as extremely loving at home, but her parents are not willing to spend that money to send her to school.But it must be because she has a mother, unlike Wen Shu, whose mother passed away when she was born, and lived with her father for so many years.

A big man doesn't know anything about the kitchen, what can he do if he doesn't send it.

After thinking about it, she said: "If you are in a hurry to pay off the debt, I have saved some private houses over the years, which add up to about two pennies. Why don't you use it first."

How could Wen Shu want her money, and these two amounts of money are not enough.

"No, I don't owe three or five guans. What can you use the money for? You'd better keep it for yourself."

"It's really unnecessary, then you"

"After all, there is still a one-year deadline. If I think about it carefully, there should be a way."

Wang Ling wanted to say something else, when the people from Muxiangge came over and said that the hot water had been prepared and she could go to take a bath, so she had to stop talking and went to the back room with Wen Shu with the envoy.

The back room is a place for girls to bathe and soak in the bath. There are a row of compartments near the west wall. There are more than ten compartments. There is a bathtub in each compartment. There are several small cabinets for storing clothes.

At this time, the tubs in the two adjacent compartments were already filled with water, steaming upwards. The difference was that dried flowers were sprinkled in one tub, but not in the other.

This is the difference between the single soak and the full four. The full four that Wang Ling chose are in addition to soaking in the bath, they also include back rubbing, hair combing, facial shaving and a fragrant bath.

The flowers in this bathtub belong to the fragrance bath.

"Two young ladies try the water temperature, if it is not suitable, just tell me, I will prepare it with the young lady."

The two reached out to check the temperature of the water, and said with a smile, "Thank you, Aunt Qiu, the water temperature is just right."

"That's good, little lady, let's take a bath. I'll go down and prepare things first, and then I'll rub Miss Wang's back later." The envoy named Aunt Qiu said something, and then left.

The two entered the compartment with their bags. Wen Shu put the bags in the wooden box used to store clothes in the compartment, and took out the stones to have a look.

Since the system clearly indicated that this kind of stone can remove body dirt, there should be nothing wrong.

She didn't see any effect from using it before, maybe something was wrong, and now she can study it while taking a bath.

Although she doesn't understand what Xiaoxing said about the future, the stars, the universe and other words, it doesn't prevent her from knowing that the system is a powerful existence. It's incredible to send it back!
So now facing it and saying that a stone can decontaminate and act as a bath bean, she has to believe it.

Holding the smooth stone brought a slight coolness to her palm. She didn't know if it was an illusion. At this moment, she actually felt that the stone in her palm was a little slippery. When she looked down, she found that her palm was stained with a faint blush at some point.

Wen Shu rubbed his eyes in disbelief, and looked at the red stone in his palm. The blush dyed on the palm of his hand was very similar to the feeling of bath beans on his hands, a thin layer with a little bubble.

Her heart was shaken, and she stretched out her left hand out of nowhere, revealing the unwashed black ash on the back of her hand, and covered the stone on it and wiped it back and forth a few times.

The black ash was gradually covered by light red, and with rubbing, some red microbubbles appeared on the top.
She fixed her eyes, rubbed her right hand over the back of her left hand, and the next moment, she put her hand into the bathtub.
As the hand, as white as jade, shook in the water, a touch of red swayed on the water surface, and when the hand was taken out again, the original back of the hand was clean and white without any gray marks.

Wen Shu's heart skipped a beat, it can really be washed off!
Why couldn't it be done at home before?

After carefully recalling the cause and effect, she remembered that these stones were fished out of the water before going out.
Is it because it needs to be wet or soaked in water before it can be used?

But it's not right!Before she threw these stones into the water basin, they had just been fished out of the water in that world. She remembered that the bag containing the stones was still dripping at that time.

What went wrong?

Could it be that only this red stone is useful, and the one tested earlier was actually just an ordinary stone?
After thinking about it, she picked out the original dark green stone and put it in the palm of her hand. She raised her eyebrows, whether it was a water problem or a stone problem, just try it out.

At this time, Aunt Qiu's voice came from outside the room: "The water is getting cold for the two ladies, do you want to add some hot water?"

Wen Shu was taken aback, and then realized that the water would be cold if he didn't take a bath, so he quickly took off his clothes and immersed himself in the water.

"Add more." The voices of the two sounded at the same time.

Aunt Qiu responded, carrying small buckets and filled them with hot water one by one. Before leaving, she asked Wang Ling again: "When Miss Wang wants to rub her back, everything is ready."

"Now then."

　Thank you for the starting point coins rewarded by Yinzhu Tears, thank you for your recommendation and collection.
