On a new day, in the evening of the steel city, the air was filled with the smell of burning coal.

In the bathhouse of Teng Yu Bath, the fog was thick and steaming. In the pool, under the shower, there is no vanity supported by designer clothes and high-end accessories, and the people who have returned to the original ecology are fighting for themselves, fighting against the earth's resources that adhere to their bodies.

Compared with before the 70s, the urban population in this era has basically solved the problem of food and clothing, and eating a fat man is not the patent of high-ranking cadres and men, and the nature of Ye Haodong's work makes him very dislike this era. Too many fat people! This directly increased his workload.

Ye Haodong hung a sign on the shelf of the bath brand, a brand costs three yuan, the boss smokes one, and the bath worker has two pieces left, which is the income of a daily settlement in addition to the monthly salary of 600 yuan. There are no less than forty of them on this shelf. Other people's work is just doing work and resting, and they can't even slip around. Ye Haodong's side has already been ranked, and he can't finish it. There are still a few numbered ones in the pool, and it is estimated that today's income is 100 again. The income is a lot, but the work is really not easy. Today is also an evil family, and it is just some fat people who are tight and oily and not good to serve to take a bath. The customer's fat growth means that Ye Haodong's working area will increase correspondingly, and it will take more effort.

Ye Haodong's long facial features are upright, his figure is neither fat nor thin, he is not handsome, but he is by no means annoying. is young, his mouth is still ingenious, he speaks in a set of ways, celebrity anecdotes, and old people come when they open their mouths. Many of his frequent visitors had heard of his background, so many more were willing to take care of his work. Of course, the main reason is because of Ye Haodong today, and his craftsmanship is really the first one here.

As soon as he waited for a person of more than 200 pounds, a numbered person in the pool immediately came over and was about to hand over the sign. Ye Haodong couldn't help but cry out when he saw it, he was pretending to have something in his heart today, seeing that the time was almost up at this time, he thought that it was important to get down to business. Ye Haodong hurriedly hugged his fist at the guest who handed the sign: "Yo! Thank you in advance for taking care of my work, but I have to take it today, and I have something urgent to discuss with the boss, so please find someone else. He spoke loudly, both at the guest and at the number of people in the pool. After that, he hugged his fist at a few people in the pool and smiled and made a smile.

Another bathing worker on the side, according to legend, Da Li Zi, who is a relative of the boss, saw the opportunity to take advantage of it, hurriedly sat up, laid a new piece of film on his workbench, and washed it clean with a basin of hot water, which is called a warm table. Then he smiled at the old customer who was going to take a bath: "Rub the bath, Brother Zhao, Dongzi is really in trouble today, if you don't like my craftsmanship, I will rub it for you, and I will ensure that you are clean and comfortable." ”

Twenty-six big plums are the old qualifications here, and before Ye Haodong's craftsmanship was completed, he was the first big man here. This big plum was also the master who had been on the street for a while when he was a teenager, and it is said that he used to be a well-known ruffian on the side of the Eight Immortals Bridge. But later, this kid didn't know if it was because the prodigal son didn't change his money, or if he was pouted and faceless, in short, he was reduced from a celebrity who ate and drank spicy land to today's bath worker. However, the tiger is majestic, and the tattoos on Da Lizi's body can indeed calm the tiger's anger, before Ye Haodong came, this guy was the first brother here in every aspect.

In the last two or three months, Da Li Zi has indeed been suppressed enough by Ye Haodong, at first, Da Li Zi saw that Ye Haodong was young and had no social experience, and he planned to use some social means to treat Ye Haodong, but before he could implement it, an incident that happened here a month ago made him completely dispel this idea.

That day, there was a bullish figure in the bathhouse who stomped on this Taipingmen commercial street and shook the street - Shan Longhui. Don't look at this kid who is only seventeen years old this year, but to put it mildly, although this kid is not the most horizontal on this street, he is definitely the most bastard. Relying on his two elder brothers, Shanlonghu and Shanlongjun brothers, they are the right-hand men under the big ruffian Er Xinzi in Xinguang District, this kid is powerful on this street, and he has done nothing less than human affairs.

On the day of the incident, that perverted thing drank some wine, and he didn't know which tendon was wrong, so he had to blow the horn with his mouth to Xiao Zheng, a bathing worker.

Xiao Zheng is the son of the aunt who cleans in the bathhouse, and he has a lively personality and loves to talk about it, which is not bad, but he likes to blow some calves or something on weekdays. The newcomer Ye Haodong also posed as an old man for a few days, and instructed Ye Haodong to clean up. But later, after Ye Haodong's craftsmanship surpassed everyone else, this kid saw a little way, and stood on Ye Haodong's side. For several days in a row, I always didn't forget to bring one to Ye Haodong when I ate. Because of his mother's relationship here, this kid can always eat some hot stove or something.

It is said that this happened in the bathhouse, Da Lizi, as a relative of the boss, once had such an experience of mixing on the road, and he was the one who should come out of this matter, but at that time, Da Li Zi was planning to teach Ye Haodong a lesson, and this Xiao Zheng was very close to Ye Haodong, and then considering the notoriety of this Sanlonghui and his two elder brothers who protected calves, Da Lizi chose to remain silent after all.

Just when Xiao Zheng was forced to kneel and cry, and Da Li Zi was silent, Ye Haodong finally stood up. This matter has nothing to do with justice, and it has nothing to do with the feelings of hatred and hatred for the same enemy in a bowl, just for the hot meal that Xiao Zheng's mother and Aunt Meng gave us at noon every day, Ye Haodong will never stand by like everyone else.

That day, Shan Longhui was taught a very bad lesson, and a gangster named Xiao Minzi who came with him was also beaten enough. Since he was a child, Ye Haodong, who was forced by his father to stand on a stake, boiled his body, and regarded fighting as commonplace, his combat effectiveness was very amazing. As seen by Da Lizi, an 'expert', Ye Haodong doesn't look old, but he is definitely a veteran of fighting in a hundred battles, decisive in his actions, bold and ruthless.

At that time, as soon as Ye Haodong came up, he grabbed the drunken Shan Longhui's hair, and then jumped into the hot tub with Shan Longhui's body, and pressed Shan Longhui's head into the water. Xiao Minzi, who came with Shan Longhui, saw that something was wrong, and immediately rushed up, jumped into the pool and punched Ye Haodong, planning to surround Wei to save Zhao. Ye Haodong ignored him, he lowered his head to dodge Xiao Minzi's punch, but pressed the back of Shan Longhui, who was struggling frantically in the water, with his elbow, seeing that the posture had the intention of choking Shan Longhui to death. Seeing that Shanlonghui choked on hot water, he couldn't pour it up in one breath, and he definitely couldn't form any combat power for a while, Ye Haodong let go of him, and then hugged Xiao Minzi's legs violently, pulled back hard, and put Xiao Minzi on the edge of the pool. kicked up with a kick and stepped on Xiao Minzi's chest, and when his fist was rounded, it was a violent beating. After a few blows, the battle situation developed into a one-sided situation in the blink of an eye. Two notorious little ruffians who seem to have experienced a hundred battles have suffered a big loss in this way. The big plum watching the excitement on the side looked in his eyes and was shocked in his heart. Ye Haodong's momentum at that time was really amazing, if it weren't for a few Ye Wenchang's former colleagues in the bathhouse who pulled Ye Haodong away as elders, the final result that day would never be as simple as Shan Longhui going to the hospital for emergency oxygen rescue, and a few stitches on Xiao Minzi's head.

That matter has not been resolved to this day. In those years, the people on the street fought with people, and they basically didn't call the police if they were beaten up like anything, and they called the police to call them to shoot guns or needles, which was the most hated behavior by the people in the circle. I won't think about how to get hospitalized and make money, because that's a bad fall! The little ruffians who have been beaten usually either find people to take revenge and get the field back, or the elders behind the two sides come out to meet everyone, pose with each other, drink and eat. The reason why Shan Longhui suffered such a big loss this time but still hasn't come to retaliate to this day is because his two brothers were wanted a few months ago and are now running away. So until now, Ye Haodong is still here in front of Teng Yu's bathing worker.

While rubbing the back of the guests, while observing Ye Haodong, who was busy cleaning up his one-third of an acre, Da Li couldn't help but ask: "Dongzi, what is the matter with the boss?" In such a hurry, the money is not earned. ”

"Oh, it's not a big deal, I've figured out a few recipes for a medicinal bath, and I'm going to talk to the boss about cooperation." Ye Haodong didn't care, and didn't raise his head to agree.

Big Plum replied in his mouth. On the surface, he is silent, he seems to be indifferent, but his heart fluctuates a lot, and there is no reason why it is not a taste, and I don't know whether it is jealousy or admiration. He watched Ye Haodong improve a little bit from the beginning until today. Thinking that this young man had just arrived, he had an indifferent and confident face, and when he was idle, he would occasionally tell everyone something with a smile or something, and he was a little clumsy at first. Who would have thought that such a half-grown teenager could find a ray of light from such a difficult, even seemingly hopeless job. Not only is the skill and income of the scrubbing among the best among these scrubbing workers, but now they are even thinking about discussing cooperation with the boss.

Thinking of these, Da Li Zi thought of himself again, he also went to high school back then, and he didn't get into anything when he graduated from high school, seeing that there was not much hope for studying, and he didn't want to farm, so he went to the second uncle who mixed well in the city. Later, he simply followed a gang of gangsters on the side of the Eight Immortals Bridge to play. Although he has been in the limelight for a few years, he knows that he is not that material, and that path is not a long-term solution for him after all. After a few years of fooling around, getting older day by day, and experiencing a major event, I almost went in, and my heart was light, so I came to the bathhouse opened by Li Tengyu, the lobby brother, as a bath worker, but I planned to save a sum of money for a few years, go back to the countryside to build a house and marry a daughter-in-law, and this is how it is in this life. Ye Haodong's words just now made Da Li Zi suddenly have some ideas, and he seemed to see an opportunity to change his fate.

"Ah...... Dongzi, are you free tomorrow night? I'm going to have some drinks after work, I'm in for a treat! Da Li Zi asked with some hesitation.

"Not tomorrow, my brother's school is on vacation, and I'll go home tomorrow." Ye Haodong said: "Something? If you have something to do, tonight, I'll talk to the boss in a while, let's have some barbecue together, I'll invite you. ”

"Okay, I'll take it when I'm done rubbing this big brother, but I'm still in for a treat."

in the manager's room.

Li Tengyu patiently listened to Ye Haodong finish his thoughts, and nodded noncommittally. "Well, your idea is good, I just came back from the south a few days ago, and I went to the bathhouse over there to learn the advanced experience, and now this medicinal bath is just starting to be popular, and the benefits are very good, I am planning to expand the store and put on some new projects, your proposal is really good, however, I heard that those medicinal bath recipes that do have effects are unique ancient recipes of each family, and it is difficult to get their hands on them, is the recipe you pondering reliable? Ann is not safe? Does it have any effect? ”

"There are four prescriptions in total, which are for rheumatic pain, itchy dermatitis, chills and weakness, and cough and wheezing. I've experimented on myself, it's definitely safe, but I don't know what the efficacy is, my idea is that let's get a few small pools first, and open up a medicated bath project for customers to experience for free, if there is an effect, we will formally charge for it, and we will share the early investment in this matter, you provide me with a venue, I am responsible for buying pots and medicines, if it is easy to use, this project has a benefit and we will divide it in half. Ye Haodong showed maturity that did not belong to his age group, and replied confidently.

Li Tengyu quickly weighed the pros and cons of this matter in his heart and decided to give it a try, but he had his own ideas about cooperation. "Okay, I agree to make room for you to specialize in this medicated bath, but I mean just cooperate, if this thing is done, I want to pay for your recipe, in addition, I heard that you have also figured out a set of massage techniques, and the customer response is very good, I want to ask you to take out this technique as well, help me train a few newly hired employees, and I will also give you a sum of money, which is the same price as your medicated bath recipe."

Li Tengyu suddenly offered to let him help train new employees, which made Ye Haodong confused. It wasn't until he saw that Li Tengyu spent a lot of money on these newly invited 'employees' from the south that he understood everything. More than a dozen white girls, fashionably dressed, youthful and beautiful, in this 993 steel city, female 'masseurs' are definitely a new thing, not to mention that these masseurs that Li Tengyu wants to train are so special. This Boss Li has a unique vision, but he doesn't know whether the shell on his back is hard or not.

Ye Haodong and Li Tengyu finally reached an agreement, although Li Tengyu's idea was a bit bullying, but Ye Haodong had a plan in his heart. The champion of the bathers is also the bather. Although there is no distinction between high and low labor, this level of small success has never been the goal of the ambitious Ye Haodong, and the social practice in the past few months has given him a new understanding of what he has learned in books and school in the past. Looking at Li Tengyu's tossing method, his future is really hard to say, and becoming his partner may not be a good thing. Or get the first pot of gold in Li Tengyu first, as for how to become the mainland's Wang Yongqing Li Ka-shing...... It's a bit too far-sighted.
