To be reasonable, taking a bath is not Jiang Chanji's first priority at present.

He was very worried that he would faint in the steaming bathhouse when he took a bath, but if he didn't take a bath today, he would probably be scolded by the landlord and aunt, and if there was a smell on his body when school started tomorrow, it would also leave a bad impression on the teacher and classmates, so it was better to take advantage of the cheap today to wash.

Since he wanted to take a bath, he didn't need to wash, so he got up and went downstairs directly.

The landlord's aunt was sucking and eating fried pho in the caretaker's room, and when she saw him coming down, she waved away the salivating him, "What are you looking at? Don't rub it in, hurry up and take a bath!"

Jiang Chanji swallowed his saliva, walked out of the apartment building, and walked towards the public bathhouse at the corner of the street.

Whether it is a dilapidated apartment or a public bathhouse at the corner of the street, it is very in line with the positioning of the urban-rural junction.

The public bathhouse has been in operation here for at least a few decades, from generation to generation, from father to son, mother-in-law to daughter-in-law. At first, the business of this bathhouse was quite prosperous, but in this era when most families had water heaters, it could only be a bleak business.

Even if the turnover deteriorated, no matter how the owners of the bathhouses changed, no one had any intention of selling or selling the bathhouses, nor did they plan to renovate them—everyone was hoping to demolish them and get rich overnight.

At present, the main guests of this public bathhouse are the dilapidated people in the rental apartment building, after all, there is no way to take a bath in the apartment room, and it is rumored that the landlord and aunt colluded with the bathhouse operator to deliberately not install a water heater in the building, forcing everyone to go to the bathhouse to take a bath, and then divide it into threes and sevens, without any profit...... If you think about it, it's possible!

The shabby households are poorer than the other, those who take a bath once a week are considered rich, those who take a bath once a month are considered to be average, and there are some strange people who take a bath once a year, and after washing, they need to dredge the sewer pipe with steel fiber immediately - take their own bath, so that others have no bath to wash.

Although Jiang Chanji doesn't have any money, he usually catches water in the toilet to wipe his body, otherwise he can't find a job because of his stinky body, so his body is not too dirty.

He slowly moved to the street corner in energy-saving mode.

The public bathhouse is called the public bathhouse, and it does not even have an official name, it is said that this can avoid taxes, although Jiang Chanji has never seen the tax bureau come to this area to check taxes - it is estimated that the taxes and fees collected are not enough to make a special trip.

Lifting the blue curtain, he walked to the counter.

Behind the counter sat a little girl, about ten years old, holding a mouse and playing minesweeper with a cash register computer.

Jiang Chanji glanced at the screen, his scalp was numb, and he was guilty of dense phobia - what level of minesweeper is this? The screen is full of thunder!

She glanced at Jiang Chanji out of the corner of her eye, and immediately moved back to the minefield, "5 pieces per person." ”

"Wait a minute! I was still 5 yuan last time I came, isn't it half price today? Why is it still 5 yuan? What about your family? Call your family!"

Jiang Chanji said, do you think I'm bullying and sitting on the ground to raise prices?

Although he had never come in to take a shower, he passed by almost every day, and he knew the numbers on the price card by heart.

"The price has not changed, 5 yuan for men, 2 yuan for half price, 10 yuan for women, 5 yuan for half price. The little girl said impatiently, staring at the screen with her eyes, and offered a six-character mantra without any delay: "Love washing, don't wash rolling!"

Belch......

Jiang Chanji had a hunch that this public bathhouse might be able to carry forward and rejuvenate the majesty of this little girl.

"Why are men cheap and women expensive?" he was still a little puzzled, men were not worth anything or what?

"Because women take long baths, use more water, and burn more gas. She replied coldly.

Well-founded and convincing.

"That's not that expensive, is it!

"The woman also comes with a bottle of cold drink after taking a shower, and even if she doesn't want it, she won't give you a cheap one. ”

Jiang Chanji was worried.

The landlord's aunt lent him 5 yuan yesterday.

If you wash it as a woman, you can only wash it once.

If you wash it as a man, you can wash it twice, or wash it once and buy a half-drawer of buns, which is much more affordable than a drink.

Anyone would choose the latter, right?

"Don't wash" is not an option, otherwise you will be scolded by your aunt when you go back.

He wanted to go into the men's bathhouse to take a bath, so that he could save 2 yuan and 5 to buy steamed buns to eat, but for some reason this little girl thought he was a woman...... It's hard to say that's a bad thing, but it's a bit awkward now.

So how do you prove that you are a man and then enter the men's bathhouse?

Take off your pants in public?

Jiang Chanji is not a pervert, and such a shameful thing must not be done.

Besides, taking off his pants won't solve anything, because his fighter jet is stealth, and besides, doing this to a little girl will send him to prison, and he doesn't want to get a free meal ticket from prison.

"Okay then, I'll give you 5 bucks. He reluctantly discharged five large coins and put them on the counter, and the five coins changed hands before they were hot in his hand.

The little girl glanced at it, swept the coins into the drawer of the cash register, and threw a small packet of simple bath kits onto the counter. The kit contains a small bag of shampoo and a small bag of shower gel, as well as a small towel, and is often given out free bath samples on the street.

Jiang Chanji picked up the suit and walked inside......

"It's a man over there. The little girl didn't look back, just judging his position by a slight reflection on the screen, "You can't read or are you short-sighted? Do you want to make a big news and cause my bathhouse to be seized?"

Jiang Chanji: "......"

Habitually wrong!

With the current body, I really can't go into the men's bathroom, otherwise the male bathers will probably call the police immediately...... Plus, it's even more troublesome if they don't call the police......

Difficult...... Do you want to go into the other side and take a bath?

What a shame!

What if I find it swollen?

"Do you wash it or not? Let me tell you, you can't return the money once it's paid, you can't wash it or not. The little girl rolled her eyes when she saw him still poking at the door of the bathhouse and hesitated.

"That...... Is there anyone in there?" Jiang Chanji pointed to the women's bathhouse.

"There's no one early in the morning, are you still shy when you're so old?" said the little girl disdainfully.

As soon as Jiang Chanji heard that there was no one inside, he immediately relaxed, and if there was no one, there would be no difference between the men's bathhouse and the other side.

Hurry up and do what you want.

Hurry up and do what you want.

Jiang Chanji turned his heart sideways, reached out and lifted the curtain of the bathroom, and stepped into the bathroom.

This is a small step for him personally, but it always feels like it is also a big step on the road of no return......

Despite only taking one step, this was his own volition into a realm he had never touched.

The point is - one's own will.

From now on, no matter how he explains, the people's police will not believe his nonsense......
