I am engaged in construction in Datang

Chapter 16 Bathhouse Culture

If I have the chance, I will definitely go to Lingnan Road.

Li Yin pondered that although Lingnan Road was under the governance of the Tang Dynasty, most of the mountain people never left the mountains and did not listen to the government.

The villages share what they have and what they need, and that is enough for their living.

We must first completely take over Lingnan Road before we can send people to plant rubber trees.

But don’t worry, rubber trees are still in South America.

Over there, Xiao Yu looked at the pencils with envy, then secretly stuffed one into his sleeve.

He didn't dare take the erasers because there were few of them and it would be too conspicuous if they were lost.

A basket full of pencils!

Wei Zheng glanced at him and said nothing.

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was almost You time. Feng Sanxi brought toiletries to the four people.

A bath basket, a bar of soap, a can of homemade shampoo, a towel, a bath towel, an extra thick bathrobe, a toothbrush, a toothcup, toothpaste, and a pair of clogs.

Now that the spring equinox has passed, the weather is getting warmer.

Li Yin asked Feng Sanxi to take the four of them to the bathhouse to take a shower, first take a shower and scrub clean, then soak in the pool. The main reason was that none of them were very clean, and it looked like they hadn't taken a shower for three or five days, especially Wei Zheng.

She could understand that it was actually quite difficult for people to take a bath at that time. Officials were still relatively well off, but it was normal for ordinary people not to take a bath for a month.

When her brother came, everything was clean and tidy, and she had forgotten about it.

Feng Sanxi, wearing a bathrobe and wooden clogs, carrying his own bath basket, went to knock on the four people's courtyard door.

A few people came out, feeling uncomfortable.

Can you go out dressed like this?

You Zhuangzi, how come you are so unrestrained!

"Please follow me, gentlemen." Feng Sanxi walked towards the bathhouse and met people who were dressed similarly to them along the way.

Even the women wore robes and wooden clogs.

"This, this... is immoral!" Xiao Yu opened his mouth and Wei Zheng covered his mouth.

“Hahaha…” Feng Sanxi didn’t care. When the owner of the manor did this for the first time, everyone was shocked, but later they all felt comfortable: “In the manor, we don’t care about those things. Yu Sheren will know after you’re done.”

Several people entered the bathhouse, took off their bathrobes and hung them on the wall, then walked into the shower room.

Xiao Yu was the oldest, so Feng Sanxi looked after him for a while and then began to wash his hair and brush his teeth.

The rest followed suit.

"Erniu, let's rub hands together." Feng Sanxi saw Zhao Erniu was there too, so he called him over to rub hands together.

After they got used to scrubbing each other, they adapted to each other.

However, it was the first time that Fang Xuanling and the other three rubbed each other, and they grimaced in pain.

"Old Wei, why are there so much mud on you!" Fang Xuanling was shocked.

Wei Zheng bared his teeth: "I'll rub it for you later. You have so much too."

After being exhausted, they finally rubbed it clean. Then, they followed Feng Sanxi's example and applied soap on their bodies and then rinsed off the foam.

"I have never smelled so good in my life..." Changsun Wuji was completely conquered. His family was very powerful, but they had never been like this before.

After washing, Feng Sanxi asked a few more people to take a bath.

There is a pool built with polished stones in the village, with a biogas pipe underneath, which is always hot.

Zhao Erniu brought a few plates of sliced ​​apples and pears to the group, and then he also dipped in.

Several people were naked and sighing, and their relationship became much closer.

When I came out, it was already an hour later and dinner was ready at the village.

Fang Xuanling and the other three returned to the house to change clothes and found that their dirty clothes had been taken away and washed by Zhuangzi, leaving only their clean scholar robes, which were the same as those worn by the students on the Zhuangzi.

They brought the bath basket back, and Feng Sanxi said that they could put it in their own room and use it next time they came. The clothes could also be left here and changed next time.

Today the cafeteria made white porridge and millet porridge, with pickles, cold cucumber and fried shredded radish. The steamed buns and flower rolls were small, just two or three bites each.

The main feature is light and comfortable to eat.

They finished their meal quickly, looked at the night school in the village, and then went back to the house to read by the biogas lamp.

The next time I opened my eyes, it was morning reading time in the village.

Before daybreak, the village was already brightly lit and adults and children began to get busy.

Fang Xuanling stood up and looked out through the window. It seemed that what he saw before him was not just a small village, but the future direction of the Tang Dynasty.

Soon, the sound of boys and girls reading loudly could be heard from the school.

"The sky and earth are dark yellow, the universe is vast and boundless. The sun and moon wax and wane, the stars are lined up. Winter comes and summer goes..."

A tenant farmer who hurriedly passed by the yard also recited in a low voice: "Winter comes and summer goes, autumn harvests and winter stores. The leap year becomes a year, the rhythm of the sun and the moon adjusts..."

Fang Xuanling's eyes became moist.

This is the people of my Tang Dynasty! This is the Zhuangzi of my Tang Dynasty!

Four people gathered together.

silence.

"Hey, let's go back and promote the biogas digester." Xiao Yu was still impatient and wanted to promote biogas all over the world immediately.

Wei Zheng wiped his beard, which was fragrant and smooth. He just needed to keep an eye on the emperor, as these matters were not his concern.

The four of them walked to the entrance of the village, where Li Yin and others were already waiting.

The buns and soy milk are both hot and can be eaten on the way.

There were also packages, one for each person, and some smaller ones for the coachman and the servant.

Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji were sitting in the car. They took a bite of the bun and the delicious juice filled the air.

The items in the four people's packages were the same. In addition to books, there were ten bars of soap, twenty bars of soap, a box of glycerin, a tub of shampoo, a tub of toothpaste, five toothbrushes, fifty pencils, five erasers, two manual pencil sharpeners, two pounds of first-class tea, a small bag of dried pearls for milk tea, and various snacks.

The two looked at each other, this... is too much.

Master Li mentioned before a little thing to improve life.

Master Li also said that what others gave was a bribe, but there was no bribery in Nuzhuang because Zhuangzi did not need bribes. Zhuangzi just wanted to help improve their lives.

What it means is that Your Majesty asked you to take it, and Your Majesty took it!

Nowadays, Nuzhuang soap has become famous in the circle, mainly because Empress Chang Sun used osmanthus-flavored soap and applied osmanthus-flavored glycerin, which made other female relatives jealous.

I went to Liuweizhai to ask, but they didn’t sell it!

A wealthy businessman with extensive connections charges one tael for a bar of soap!

Yeah!

Wei Zheng's hands were shaking.

These are all good stuff, they can’t be sold!

Now that the biogas digester was settled, Li Yin began to select and purchase land outside the village.

Not too many people can be allowed into the village, so the place to teach others how to build biogas digesters can only be outside the village.

It just so happened that there was a ruined landlord nearby who was selling land, but it was not arable land and the soil quality was poor.

It is just right to build a cement house.

That day, Xiao Yang came back from Shangzhou and not only brought several kinds of clay and graphite, but also found limestone.

It is located in Jingzi Road, Jingzhao Prefecture.

"Uncle Sanxi, are there any women in the slums willing to do some small business?"

"Yes." Feng Sanxi went door to door in the slums these days to learn about the situation, and he had a pretty good idea of ​​the situation.

The most difficult ones are the elderly who have to raise children alone, and then the widows.

There are some businesses selling tea and snacks in the village. It would be a waste of energy for men to do these businesses, but women are just right for this.

They don't care about being in the spotlight or anything like that. The most important thing is that their children have enough food to eat.

“Some of them have problems with their household registration.”

"It's okay. No one will make things difficult for us if we put the word 'Nvzhuang' on it." This is what she had said to Li Shimin. When the time is right, these people will be re-naturalized.

Even women can open an account separately.

"Let's go, prepare the horses, today we will teach them how to trade."
