Chapter 17: First Impressions

Mina Fujiki took out a mask from her pocket and put it on her face, then she mixed the brown earthworm powder with the white caustic soda powder and stirred it well. At this moment, Minato Fujiki suddenly took off the gloves on her hands and the mask on her face, she gently dipped some powder with her little finger, then put it in her mouth and tasted it, and then quickly spit it out.

"This ...... Wouldn't it be poisoning if you did that?"

Lin Xiuyi asked Minato Fujiki in surprise. He had no idea that the detergent used to clean the wooden bath would require a person's mouth to taste the taste.

"It's okay to spit it out after tasting it, but you can't help it, because the wood used in each bath is different from the condition itself, so the detergent ratio needs to be adjusted on site, and you should know how difficult wooden baths can be to take care of by now!"

Perhaps it was Lin Xiuyi's concern just now that narrowed the distance between him and Fujiki Minato, Fujiki Mina smiled at Lin Xiu, and then continued to bend down to adjust the ratio of the potion in the bucket, and after about three attempts, Fujiki Minato finally made a suitable potion.

The prepared potion is diluted into a liquid and then poured into the bath. Until the entire bath is filled with this solution. After waiting for about twenty minutes, Mina Fujiki first let go of some of the solution in the bath, then put on rain boots and waterproof leather pants, walked into the pool, and began to clean the four walls of the bath with great difficulty.

This is a very hard work, and in Hayashi's opinion, it is actually very difficult for Mina Fujiki, who is slightly skinny, to do this work. But Lin Xiuyi felt that this was a strong woman at the same time. Under her thin body, there seems to be an unimaginable explosive power.

Minato Fujiki's appearance looks like she is about forty years old, maybe because of her profession, Lin Shuichi can't see any traces of her makeup at all. However, even if she is plain-faced, Lin Shuichi can still see that Mina Fujiki should be a very iconic beauty when she is young. But now, she is working hard in this job that is both health-threatening and physically demanding.

Since most of the bath is still soaked in solution, the first thing Mina Fujiki cleans is the four walls of the bath that are exposed due to the drop in the water level. I saw that she took the brush and carefully asked the surface and crevices of the wood, even if it was a particularly narrow place, Fujiki Mina never let it go. She would use a tool like a toothbrush to clean the stains in the cracks of the wood, and sometimes even Lin Xiuyi thought that she was too serious.

"What a persistent woman!"

Lin Xiuyi and Miki stood aside like this, helping Fujiki Mina pass some tools or something from time to time, at the beginning, Fujiki Mina was still very afraid of Lin Xiu's help, but at the insistence of Lin Xiuyi and Miki, Fujiki Mina was embarrassed to accept the assistance of the two.

As the solution in the pool gradually decreases, the wood of the bath seems to be renewed. It wasn't until the four walls and bottom of the bath were thoroughly cleaned that Mina Fujiki rinsed the inside and out of the bath with water again, and then she straightened her waist with confidence, and her face showed a sense of satisfaction after labor.

Lin Xiuyi took the long-handled wooden brush in the hand of Fujiki Minato with one hand, and then said to Fujiki Minadu with sincere admiration.

"It's so admirable, if I hadn't seen you, I would have thought cleaning the bath was just a simple job?"

Mina Fujiki took off the mask on her face, she smiled at Lin Xiu, and then said to Lin Xiuyi with feeling:

"Even if it's a professional cleaning company, I'm afraid there are only a few that can master the cleaning technology of wooden baths!"

As soon as Lin Xiuyi heard that the other party took the initiative to mention the technique of cleaning the wooden bath, Lin Xiuyi hurriedly asked Fujiki Minato:

"So, how did you learn the craft?"

"When I was young, I learned this skill from my first employer, I thought I would never need it in my life, who knew that at this age I would still be able to rely on this craft to make a living, speaking of which, the employer back then was really my nobleman! Sorry, I said superfluous things again, delaying your rest, I will leave!"

"Ah...... It's really touching to hear what you have to say, and it's almost dinner time anyway, so I'd invite you to have a drink here!"

"How embarrassing is this, how can you let the guests break the bank, besides, I just finished the cleaning work, and my body is too dirty, I'm afraid that staying here will stain ......the tatami mats here."

Hearing Lin Xiuyi's invitation, Fujiki Mina hurriedly excused herself, and soon she picked up the tool to say goodbye to Lin Xiuyi and Miki, Lin Xiu saw her resolute attitude, and knew that he was really in a hurry, so he was no longer reluctant, and sent the other party away with good words.

Lin Shuichi and Miki closed the sliding door of the room again. Miki lowered her voice and asked Lin Xiuyi in a low voice:

"Police, what do you think of Mina Fujiki?"

"It seems that she is a very hard-working person, although I don't know what she has experienced, but I think she should be an honest person, earn money with her own hands, and take her work seriously. If such a person had not been forced to resist, a person like Minato Fujiki would not have done something murderous......"

Lin Xiuyi finished saying this, and then said to Miki with a smile on his face:

"I'm sorry, but I'm sorry for you to sleep in the same room with me tonight!" I looked at it, and there seemed to be a screen over there, so I might as well move the screen over there and put it in the middle. ”

"Hey!" Miki was a little embarrassed for a while when she heard Lin Xiu mention the matter of arranging to go to bed at night, she measured her face and responded to Lin Xiu in an almost imperceptible voice.

Lin Xiu took a look at the time in his hand, it was almost time to eat at night, since he had worked so hard to come to such a long place to work, he naturally couldn't eat so-so, after learning about it from the hostess, Lin Xiuyi suddenly remembered the last time he ate horse meat sashimi in Yamanashi County.

"Do you have any horse meat here?"

"You mean the cherry blossom pot, right?"

"Hey?"

As soon as Lin Xiu heard the cherry blossom pot, he immediately looked at Miki and asked her opinion. The cherry blossom pot means horse meat hot pot, because the shape of the meat slices looks like cherry blossoms, and because there are not many people who usually eat it, the price is naturally very expensive.

"No need...... This is too expensive!"

Miki hurriedly refused, every time Lin Xiuyi came out, he had to break the bank, which made Miki feel a little uncomfortable, but in the eyes of the hostess, this became a scene of mutual concern between lovers.

"It's okay, it's hard to come out to play, then the cherry blossom pot is good, do you have any local good wine recommendations?"

"Our specialty sake here - the Seven Sages, takes the meaning of the Chinese allusion to the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest, the taste is good, and many guests like it......"
