Chapter 105: Personal Hygiene

The role of sweat glands is basically known to everyone, and easy sweating is mostly a manifestation of kidney deficiency and qi deficiency.

But there are pros and cons to everything, and it is easy for the authorities to be confused by bystanders.

Shi Bin is a person who loves to drink water and sweat, which makes him feel a little embarrassed, he has to drink water when he sweats at every turn, and then he goes to the toilet, as if he is a removable kettle and urinal.

Self-feces don't smell, self-urine doesn't smell, he can't feel that he sweats a lot, and the smell is very bad, even if he feels it occasionally, he doesn't feel it.

Originally, he didn't pay attention, but what made him unhappy was that Jia Ling and Saixi Shi urged him to take a bath at every turn, and threatened that he would not be allowed to go to bed if he didn't take a bath.

My wife has said everything about this, of course, I have to pay attention to it, but this is a bit of a taste of catching ducks on the shelves. And even if it was washed, although it was slight the next day, it still smelled of some sweat.

There is no impermeable wall in the world, and this has become a big joke, except for those ordinary people who dare not laugh at it in person, and almost everyone who has a good relationship with him will joke about it.

Finally, one day he couldn't tolerate this situation and went to the old Chinese medicine doctor who provided free methods to prevent lung disease last time.

Seeing that the old Chinese medicine doctor came to the door of Shixian County, of course, he was very happy, after all, he had a good official reputation, and an official with a good reputation came to the door to affirm him, which was the same as those wealthy families who would rather spend money than rush to take the paradeing emperor to live at home.

"My lord came to the humble house, making the old cottage shine, please forgive me for not being able to greet him." The old Chinese medicine doctor immediately stepped forward and gave a fist salute.

At a side glance, this old Chinese medicine doctor is really powerful, and there are actually five or six patients who came to seek medical advice in the small courtyard.

Originally, the two guards who accompanied him wanted to forcibly pull away the waiting patient, but Shi Bin shook his head and stopped him.

In Shi Bin's opinion, it must be wrong to cut the line, but his time is too tight and he can't afford to wait, but it is even more inappropriate to suppress people with power.

The two guards are rough people, and in their eyes, they are the king, and the law is the rule, not to mention that Shi Bin is still busy, how can he line up like this? Naturally, he was unwilling.

The old Chinese medicine doctor was already over fifty years old, and he had already practiced perfectly, and when he saw the faces of the two guards, he immediately said: "Everyone, please forgive me, this is the Shixian Decree of our county, and he is our great benefactor, now that he is here, can you let him see it first?" Today's consultation fee is old, and you don't need it, just pay for the medicine. ”

I just thought it was an evil official who wanted to suppress people, but I didn't expect it to be Shi Bin, and everyone naturally agreed with the old Chinese medicine doctor's opinion.

"Mr. Zhou, how is this appropriate? It's not good for me to cut the queue, how can I let you pay? Shi Bin immediately said as he walked.

"There's nothing bad about it, it's not that you can't eat enough, and you can still skip this consultation fee." The old Chinese medicine doctor said firmly. Shi Bin didn't like that kind of fake favor, not to mention that Dr. Zhou was also telling the truth, so he didn't talk to him anymore.

After sitting down, Dr. Zhou first checked the pulse, checked the pulse three times, and then looked at the tongue coating, and then he said in confusion: "My lord, you are in good health, and your old medical skills are not proficient, so I really can't diagnose your illness." If you really feel unwell, you should go to Tanzhou, where the doctors are more virtuous than the old. ”

Shi Bin had expected this for a long time, but it was still a little embarrassing to ask himself why he was sweating a lot, but he couldn't afford to wait for much time, and finally said why he was in good health and came to seek medical treatment.

"My lord, you are too worried, the old man told you that sweating is actually a good thing. Of course, bathing is very important, and your two ladies are right. ”

Of course, the words are not bad, but the reason why Shi Bin came was to ask himself what was wrong with him or why he sweated more easily than ordinary people.

"Isn't this kidney deficiency?"

"Whether it is kidney deficiency or qi deficiency, no one is perfect, everyone will have some small problems, and the amount of sweating has a lot to do with physical fitness, not necessarily disease, adults don't have to be so afraid and worried."

Knowing that this could not reassure Shi Bin, Dr. Wang told everything he knew.

"Did anyone say that adults look a few years younger than their peers?" He asked with a smile.

It is true that some people have said it, and there are quite a few of them, but in Shi Bin's opinion, this has nothing to do with sweating at all, it should be related to exercise, so he told Dr. Wang his opinion.

"Of course, it's because of exercise, but if you don't exercise, you won't sweat, and it's because of sweating that the poison in your body is expelled, adult, what do you think?"

"Do you still have a strong appetite? Excretion is also smooth? The old Chinese medicine doctor asked with a smile.

Blinked his eyes and looked down to think about it, it seemed to be the same. According to Dr. Wang's explanation, sweating can remove the unclean things attached to the skin from the outside of the body, in fact, sweating once is equivalent to taking a bath from the inside out. That's why the skin will be delicate and youthful.

Mr. Zhou also emphasized that this sweat gland is equivalent to a sewage pipe, which can flow regularly to ensure that the five abdomen and six organs work better, so that the natural appetite is strong and the excretion is smooth.

If you sweat very little, the blockage of sweat glands will cause the body to not be able to discharge toxins in time, and you are prone to disease.

said it so clearly, Shi Bin no longer has any doubts, but he is still a little proud, so it seems that he is still a long-lived seedling, and he can naturally do more things if he can live long. Thinking about it, I was so happy that I completely forgot that I was talking to Dr. Zhou.

Seeing that Shi Bin suddenly ignored himself, Dr. Zhou coughed lightly to pull him back to reality, and said: "My lord, there are pros and cons to everything, and this disadvantage is not only the unpleasant smell, but also others... ”

Anything else? This made Shi Bin a little disappointed, but it was also certain, but he opened his eyes unexpectedly and said with a smile: "Please Mr. Zhou for advice." ”

Dr. Zhou advised a few points: the first is not to sweat excessively, and to replenish water in time; The second is that if you sweat too much, you can't just drink plain water, but drink light salt water; The third is that you can't replenish a lot of water at one time, no more than half a catty at a time, and you must drink it one bite at a time; The fourth is not to fan the fan immediately after sweating to cool down, you should dry the sweat and absorb sweat automatically.

Shi Bin learned enough, and after taking out five coins of silver and putting them on the table, he immediately ran out with the two guards.

Before Dr. Zhou could react, Shi Bin and the three of them had disappeared.

On the main street, Shi Bin turned back again, and the two guards were confused and at a loss, but this was the county magistrate, so naturally he had to follow him wherever he went, so he followed Shi Bin back to the clinic with a stomach full of questions.

Seeing that Shi Bin was coming back, Doctor Zhou immediately prepared to stuff the five coins of silver back into Shi Bin's hands, but now is not the time to waste time for this little thing, he has to go back to the county office immediately after finishing things, there are more things to do there, so he took the money and said: "Mr. Zhou, Shi Bin still has something to ask for advice, and the matter of the five coins and silver will be put aside first." ”

"Lord Shi, please say, the old man knows everything, and he has no words." Dr. Zhou said solemnly.

So Shi Bin asked about the harm of taking a bath frequently, after all, people are lazy, and diligence is only because of pressure and goals. He's so busy that he can't sit on the bench all day long, where does he have the energy to take a shower?

As if looking at a naughty child, Dr. Zhou smiled and said, "The old man knows that adults are busy with official business, but they can't help but take a bath. I am too humid in Hunan and I am easy to get sick if I don't take a bath, but I can't wash too often, and I will be too late. ”

Of course, these Shi Bin knew that he didn't have time to listen to these theories, he just wanted to know what diseases he would get, and before Dr. Zhou finished speaking, Shi Bin interrupted him a little rudely and said: "Mr. Zhou, Shi is rude, Shi is indeed busy with official business, please ask Mr. to speak out about the harm." ”

Realizing that he was verbose, Dr. Zhou immediately apologized and talked about the specific harm, saying that taking too much bath will cause the skin to dry out and accelerate aging, and people who wash too often for too long are prone to wind.

Shi Bin can be regarded as finding himself the advantage of heavy sweat and the reason to take less baths. But all the way back to the county office, I thought of a question, I don't like to take a bath in this identity, what about those people in the market? Wouldn't such sloppiness make it easier for the disease to spread, and would it not be in vain to make one's own efforts a plague because of it?

returned to the county office, and immediately summoned Wang San and Liu Xiancheng to express their worries. And asked the two how often they bathed. At this time, Shi Bin was not embarrassed, but Wang Saner was stumbling and silent.

At this time, Shi Bin knew that he was sweating more so that he looked sloppy than them, and they really didn't like to be clean. It's just that I sweat less, and I can't see it.

He didn't have time to waste time with the two of them, and immediately said his idea: build a public bathhouse and take a bath for a penny.

Of course, this is a good policy for the benefit of the people, and Wang San and Liu Xiancheng both agree very much.

"How big and where do you think this bathhouse will be built? How to operate properly? ”

Liu Xiancheng must be an old expert in this regard, Wang San, a half-assed man, immediately shut up, and only looked at Liu Xiancheng and motioned for him to make suggestions.

He understands that he is of course the most suitable person to speak, but if he says too much, he will lose, what this old man wants most is to protect himself and hide if he can, unless Shi Bin explicitly asks for it, he will never make suggestions.

has also been an official for a few years, and has figured out the routines of these officials, Shi Bin also said to Liu Xiancheng with a smile: "Liu Xiancheng, don't worry, I was in favor of building a bathhouse, but I just asked you to be a staff officer, you are a county official, and this is also your responsibility, right?" ”

Buckled a big hat of responsibility, Liu Xiancheng knew that he couldn't hide, lowered his head and thought about it, and muttered: "My lord, I think that this bathhouse can be built enough for about 100 people to take a bath, my Xiangtan City is not big, there are only three or four thousand households in the city, but it should be divided into two bathrooms for men and women, and prevent obscene people from doing obscene things." ”

Sure enough, it was an old official, in a word, it was very much in line with Shi Bin's intentions, and he nodded and motioned for Liu Xiancheng to continue.

"I thought it was best to build it at the intersection of West Street, which was not far from the main street and had many civilian households. It is best to send a few people from the yamen to manage it. ”

At this time, Wang San asked: "This yamen is full of men, and it is difficult to ensure that they themselves will do obscene things." ”

Liu Xiancheng immediately complained to Shi Bin, saying that he was not thoughtful. Shi Bin smiled and said that there is no need to blame himself so much, everyone makes mistakes sometimes. and reprimanded Wang San, saying that his words were too straightforward, Liu Xiancheng didn't get along for a long time after all, so don't embarrass him too much.

Wang San naturally also confessed, and proposed that the daughters-in-law of the officials in those counties could be managed and paid monthly money.

At the same time, he sold his personal favor to Liu Xiancheng, saying that he would submit a specific list, which could be regarded as alleviating the small contradiction between the two just now.

Of course, Liu Xiancheng will borrow the slope to get off the donkey, and the hardcore brother of the county order is willing to give in, and he will definitely not be ignorant and kick his nose and face to intensify the contradictions.

His brother took care of the overall situation so much, and Liu Xiancheng also knew that the advance and retreat made Shi Bin very happy, and immediately signaled Liu Xiancheng to do it.

But before he went out, he was stopped by Shi Bin: "What if those residents are not used to this washing method, so they just don't go?" What's more, after all, you still have to pay, although this is the price of a steamed bun. ”

Several orders have already been issued, and it is not appropriate to give any more orders, after all, governing civil affairs and governing the army are not the same thing, and they should be guided by the Lord, not just an order.

This question stumped the two of them.

Suddenly, the voices of Jia Ling, Sai Xishi and several other women came from outside the window. Listening carefully, it turned out that Jia Ling had made a beautiful new dress, and they were clamoring to do it when they saw it, and asked Jia Ling to be a staff officer.

The word "follow the trend" appeared in Shi Bin's mind, so he ordered: All officials, officials, and soldiers in Xiangtan County will go to the new bathhouse to take a bath from now on, and he Shi Bin will take the lead.
