Don’t raise unruly people in extreme cold weather

Chapter 101 The problem of bathing

"Miss, it's late at night. It's time for you to rest." The old housekeeper Foster didn't worry about Perfectcott. Seeing that there was still light in her tent, he came to remind her to take a rest.

As the steward of the Brandlis family, he has served three generations of Brandlis and is very familiar with the family's tendency to forget about food and sleep when they get busy.

The old baron was like this back then, and so was Perfectcott's father.

It's just that the old baron spent most of his time thinking about how to fight the war, while Perfectcott's father was thinking about alchemy.

As for the current Purficott? Foster just wants to say that the daughter is not very good like her father sometimes.

"I know, I'm going to rest." Purficott stood up, but what she didn't notice was that her long skirt knocked over the chair, causing her to stumble and almost knock over the lantern on the table.

Foster pressed the lantern quickly with quick hands and eyes, and at the same time also supported his young lady.

"I forgot to change my skirt. These gorgeous clothes don't seem suitable for outdoor activities." Purficott glanced at his skirt, shook his head and sighed.

Her skirt was already a simple style that she had adjusted herself. If it had been the kind of skirt that normal Langton noble ladies often wore, she would have been lit up and turned into a big torch by now.

Speaking of which, she had heard in a noble salon before that a noble lady was burned alive because she knocked over a candlestick.

The gorgeous and complex structure of the aristocratic dress is indeed very beautiful to wear and can highlight the temperament of an aristocratic lady, but the exaggerated skirt is often very troublesome and even dangerous.

Things like being stuck in the door, suffocating because the waist was too tight, or even having broken ribs, or tripping over the hem of one's own skirt, etc. are already too common in Langton's aristocratic circle to be considered news.

As for the overturned candlestick setting fire to her skirt and burning her alive, I can only say that this was a very creative way to die.

Therefore, Purficott has not been interested in the so-called aristocratic clothes popular in Langton City. Most of her clothes come from her own design and tailoring, and the styles are more based on the world before she traveled.

When she came to the North this time, Purficott also prepared clothes for herself that were easy to wear for outdoor activities. She had always worn the same clothes at several other exploration sites before.

Today, it was because it was the first day of camping and the camp was somewhat chaotic. It was inconvenient for Purficott to change clothes, which led to the accident.

"So it's time for you, Miss, to rest." Foster persuaded Perfectcott, and at the same time he also advised her: "In addition, Miss, you shouldn't leave the maid team on the White Jewel. With them, we can replace them." Take good care of your diet and daily life.”

In the previous exploration operations, Purficott took Befa and the maid puppet with him. After all, they have the power of a formal knight, that is, they can act as a labor force and at the same time provide security protection for Purficott. .

But this has also brought about some problems, one of which is the fuel replenishment problem of the maid puppet.

The maid puppets still use steam power. Although Purficott has recently begun to improve their steam core, even so, they still cannot escape the need for fuel support.

Being in the wild for a long time without replenishing fuel will only make the maid a liability.

Moreover, Purficott also discovered that the mechanical logic instruction set did not seem to have action instructions in the wild environment, which made it somewhat inconvenient for the maids, including Befa, to move. So after some consideration, Purficott gave up the idea of ​​carrying more fuel to ensure the operation of the maid puppets, and instead put them all on the White Jewel.

As for Purficott's safety, if she still has problems under the protection of a whole company of guards and a demi-knight standard, having a few more maids won't help.

"The battery life of Befa and the others in the winter environment is a problem, and I will have to transform them later. We will talk about this later." Purficott shook her head. She felt tired and helpless, but there were some things But she had to deal with it.

So she just said to Foster: "Grandpa Afu, can you prepare some hot water for me? I need to change my clothes."

"Miss, do you need a bath? I'll have someone prepare it right now." Foster knew that his lady loved to be clean, so he was going to have someone boil some more hot water.

However, Purficott shook his head and rejected his kindness: "Don't bother me. Just prepare some hot water for me to wipe my body. The conditions in the field are limited, and bathing is too laborious."

Under outdoor conditions, it is not easy to get hot water.

Although there is a stove in Purficott's tent that can boil water, the water is for drinking. If she really wants to take a bath, it will take a long time to boil the water with this stove alone to provide enough water for her to take a bath.

If Purficott wanted to take a bath, at least three or five people would have to boil water for her and prepare for more than an hour before she could barely take a bath.

This is the case in this era. Things that seemed commonplace and even commonplace in the world before she traveled are an unimaginable luxury in this era.

Seeing that Purfict didn't want to bother, Foster didn't insist. He just brought her hot water, prepared clean clothes, and then stood guard outside the tent.

Although no one actually peeped into Purficott's shower, in order to avoid something that no one wanted to see happen, Foster still needed to stay outside the tent to prevent anyone from accidentally breaking in.

Purficott also took off her long skirt and started wiping her body with a towel dipped in hot water.

Although she also hoped to be able to take a comfortable hot bath or even take a shower, being able to wipe her body with hot water was already a luxury in such a temporary camping site in the wild.

You must know that the guards and even the accompanying knights can only find a river to bathe in. If they want to take a hot bath in the wild, only Perfectcott can enjoy this kind of treatment.

This also made Purficott re-examine his plan and found that he seemed to have forgotten the plan for such an important facility as a bathhouse.

For the original world before time travel, things like bathhouses have gradually disappeared with the changes of the times, or evolved into another form of existence.

Bathhouses where you just pay money to take a hot bath have faded out of people's sight, because you can simply take a bath at home.

"Sure enough, hot baths and hot soup are two important things that are indispensable for warming the body and mind!" Thinking of this, Purficott finished cleaning his body, put on clean clothes, and finally lay down on the camp bed, sinking deeply. fell asleep.
