Being a Life Player in the Middle Ages
Chapter 34 Chapter 34
After watching the show, can you go back directly without watching it? There is a luxurious large bath nearby.
Here, Bayard is not only a place where you can watch TV shows, but also a place where you can take a bath in such a big bathtub, and it is also very fashionable.
It seems that it is normal for the East Asian Empire to entertain guests. Since there is no place for bathing at home, the guests who need a bath will be specially taken to the bathhouse for a short stay.
As for toiletries, they were all prepared in the carriage, and Martha had specially prepared them before leaving home, so that even if Bayard was drunk, he could still take a bath in such a big bath.
When we got to the big bathhouse, the four Deba naturally separated.
Martha was used to everyone just taking a shower and scrubbing their bodies, so she was more willing to take a bath in a public bathhouse. In addition, she was not familiar with the place yet, so she quickly joined everyone in taking a bath.
The Great Baths are much more luxurious than the public baths on Operts Street. It is a two-story building covering a very large area. In addition to the various baths, there are many leisure and entertainment areas, such as gardens and corridors for walking, libraries, and small meeting rooms for discussing things. If you need to take a bath, there are even some guest rooms similar to those in a hotel. Of course, there are charges for these services.
Everyone was actually very interested in the library on the second floor. Bayard thought it was a good time for Reed to stay and read, especially when Reed came out of the ladies' bath after drying her hair, Bayard and John were already waiting for Reed in the lounge outside.
John's face looked very good at this moment, and Bayard also looked a little embarrassed.
Seeing this, Martha asked worriedly, "Why? What happened?"
Bayard looked at everyone and spoke in a polite manner, but John said in a stern voice, "Let's go quickly. The big bathhouse here allows bathing at night."
Before anyone could react, Martha's face changed. She quickly dragged him out of the bathhouse. After they were out, he turned back and muttered in disgust, "Why is it still such a filthy place? I'm so afraid of being punished by Elohim. Why hasn't Her Majesty sent troops to raze it all?"
Everyone looked confused and surprised. It was the last time they saw Martha scolding Ba in the store. Even if the neighbors usually got along well, they would quarrel over something else. It was obvious that the store was so angry that she didn't even use divine punishment.
Everyone is curious, but everyone is now very brave to ask.
They got on the carriage and arrived at the bathhouse. Martha seemed calmer. She asked cautiously, "Mom, why are you angry? Is there something wrong with bathing at night?"
The store owner could sense that Martha was angry because of what John said.
"Oh, my dear, you are such a little girl and you should listen."
Martha hugged everyone and regretted bringing the girl to take a shower there. It was such a dirty place, how could she let such a pure and innocent girl enter.
In proper bathing places, bathing is only allowed during the day, and men and women must be separated. However, those places that allow night bathing are not proper bathing places. At night, only mixed bathing is allowed, and prostitutes are specially invited to perform bathing shows for the enjoyment of the guests. These are places of depravity. Children can understand it easily, but adults will know what is going on just by hearing about night bathing in the bathhouse.
And if Martha knew about that place, she would not have taken us there. Who would have known how dirty the water in the bathtub was?
When she returned, Martha was very glad that everyone was taking a bath together, although she had not looked at the bathtub just now.
"I'm so sorry, Aunt Martha, I wish I knew how it is."
Bayadri was really smart. It took more than a month to move to the third area. Usually, there were very few people using it, and he had never seen a big bathhouse here. Naturally, he knew that there was such a filthy place here.
I heard from some German regulars that when you take a bath in a bathhouse, you can participate in the night bathing. I also know that there are other services in the bathhouse.
"Bayard, it has nothing to do with you yet."
Although she was angry, Martha still looked rational and was obviously not wrong.
If possible, Martha really wanted to tell Bayard to bring up the matter with Her Majesty the Queen, because since Brazil had clearly ordered a ban on forced prostitution, a night bathhouse should not exist at all.
But the store actually knows very well that since the big bathhouse can open the night bathing service in the third area blatantly, then at least it is obviously "legal" and there is no sign of "forced".
Bayard looked at the shopkeeper and was at a loss as to what to do. In the end, he swallowed all the words he wanted to say.
We all don't know what's going on, but the store can vaguely understand what's going on from our attitude and conversation, so just be nice and ask the store what you should know.
This incident somewhat affected everyone's mood, but fortunately, before returning to Bayard's residence, everyone adjusted their mood and resumed their relaxed and happy state, at least on the surface.
The dinner menu should be specially enriched by Ribayard. Those "noble dishes" with exotic ingredients disappeared from the table, and were replaced by ingredients commonly used by ordinary people. With the use of complex cooking techniques and more spices, the taste was really good. Except for the strong taste of the spices, everyone was quite satisfied with the meal.
After dinner, the four of them sat in the living room. Bayard and John played a board game called "Mercenary Game". Martha came to watch. Everyone was very interested in this. They found the paper and pen that Bayard had given them, sat down in front of the two oil lamps that had been lit specially for the store, and immersed themselves in drawing.
Martha turned around and saw the man drawing. Curious, she leaned in to watch for a moment. "What are you drawing? Or the layout of your room? Do you want to remodel your bedroom?"
But it seems like the bedroom is well laid out.
Everyone just remembered that they forgot to tell Martha about the matter of renting the Bayard family shop.
The shop owner said innocently: "I want to rent the shop of the Bayard family and open a knitting shop. It's a great idea, Mom?"
Martha felt guilty just by looking at that store.
The shopkeeper turned around and looked at Bayard seriously, and said unhappily: "Did you already agree on that?"
Everyone scratched their cheeks politely: "We agreed to do it this afternoon. You were so engrossed in watching a drama at the time that I wanted to tell you later, but I forgot."
"You." Martha was helpless. It was a headache for the store because everyone was too opinionated and always did whatever they wanted. But since everyone had done a good job so far and hadn't caused any trouble, the store now knew where to put the control.
Everyone raised their hands and promised, "I swear next time I see something, I'll tell you in advance!"
The store still said that, so Martha had to take these as an example.
While sitting next to everyone in the shop, the mother and daughter discussed how the knitting shop should be decorated. Bayard's family originally had a grain store. In addition to the cabinets, the store also had many grids for storing various grains. Martha thought that some of the grids could be dismantled and used to place various dyed yarn balls, so that customers could choose the color and material of the pieces, and the store could also sell some yarn at the same time.
However, everyone thinks that the grids occupying the central position of the store will affect the layout of the store. The store plans to use these grids as secret grids to place some daily miscellaneous items, and then add a few wooden boards on the grids, and then cover them with a piece of black cloth, and use them to place small items such as woven dolls, jewelry, bags, lace, etc., to facilitate customers to choose.
As for the shelves, the cabinets on the left and right sides of the wall can be removed, and the walls can be covered with cloth, and then some nails can be nailed on top and a few rows of floor-standing clothes hangers can be placed underneath to display various finished products in the store. The shelves that separate the kitchen opposite the door can be retained and then transformed into upper lattice racks, as Martha said, to store various dyed yarn balls, so that they can be easily accessed and customers can see the colors at a glance.
"We also custom-made a few tables to show off outfits, as well as coat racks... We can display small items and add some decorations. We can also add some green plants for decoration, and put them at the entrance of the store... We can use the shelves and walls at the entrance..."
Everyone knows Martha very well because the store is completely based on the modern fashion of the clothing store.
It's good to listen and understand. Martha thinks the design drawings you draw are very good and clear. According to the drawings, I can imagine how the store will look after the renovation. It feels like it will be very distinctive.
After that, we looked at the design drawings, although it seemed that the changes would be big, but we didn't raise any objections. After all, the shop was rented out, and the shop would be renovated, so big changes could be expected. But we actually only removed the two cabinets, which could be considered as adding items, and we didn't know what impact they would have on the overall structure of the house.
The design drawings are just design drawings. I will have to wait until tomorrow to see the specific details in the store before I can confirm whether to use it.
But at night when everyone went back to their rooms to rest, they secretly took out their tools and started making some wood carvings that could be used as ornaments. They still remembered that they had promised Amasa that they could stay up late, so they cleaned up and went to rest.
The next day, after breakfast, Bayard put on the armor, hung the accessories around his waist, rode his mount and followed the carriage, and went back to Oppets Street with everyone. He said that he could not only go back today to sign the lease contract and confirm the renovation with everyone, but also go to greet the garrison sheriff who was responsible for the daily patrol and maintenance of Oppets Street and the tax collector who was responsible for collecting taxes, and tell them that he could still take care of the store.
Although there was only Knight Reed at the moment, but with his status as the emperor's personal guard, ordinary nobles would not dare to provoke him at will, not to mention the sheriffs, tax collectors and some low-level clerks.
After everyone gets home, they check the box first to make sure everything is fine before going downstairs to the next door.
The renovation matters were roughly discussed last night, and the details would be discussed later when the shop opened today. Both sides finalized the plan, and not long after, Bayard left again to visit the staff who needed "reminds", and by the way, sent the newly signed lease contract to the city hall for registration.
Of course, Bayard will also have lunch with everyone, Martha prepared it last time, and after John signs the contract, he will help find craftsmen to start the work. The decoration takes the most time. Although the changes to the new store are quite large, it will take a few days to finish them, so it is better to do it as soon as possible.
Everyone can find two craftsmen who can modify the stove and use it. Since the bathroom is being renovated, we can start with it. As for whether the kitchen can be used during the renovation, it is a big problem. Martha can use the stove in the backyard and John can use it to prepare medicinal materials, and we can temporarily borrow the kitchen of Bayard's house.
And we are all very busy. We have to decide on the signboard and the bar counter. Of course, if we don't see any plastic bar counters, we can consider making the bar counter with wood or vines. For the former, we can ask the carpenter. If it is suitable, we can consider making some vine-woven ones ourselves.
"A body model made according to body proportions? The kind without clothes?"
Seeing the shop owner nod, the carpenter had a strange expression on his face: "Then you should find a good woodcarver. I'm afraid that the one I make won't be useful."
Carpenters' daily work is mainly to make various furniture and wooden appliances. They have never made anything like that, so it is not a good industry at all.
Everyone: "Okay, do you know where to find a suitable engraver?"
The carpenter knew that the place he was looking for was suitable for the shop, so he reminded everyone when he could tell them the address: "The place you can live in is already in the slums. You'd better not go to Debaya and let John accompany you."
