In winter, it gets dark early and goes to bed early. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Eat before dark, and then go to sleep on the kang. The kang burned very warm, but today Zhang Chao tossed and turned on the kang and couldn't sleep.

"What's the matter, why are you still turning up the pancakes?" Daddy asked in the dark.

"Can't sleep."

The guy is young, this kang is burning again, the night is long, Zhang Chao can't sleep.

"Dad, there's fleas!"

Zhang Chao has been fighting for half the night tonight, but he didn't catch the flea jumping around. Zhang Chao didn't expect that when he arrived in the Tang Dynasty, he would have to fight with fleas.

"What a big deal, just catch it and continue to sleep." Daddy replied, rolled over and fell asleep again.

If you can catch it, you can still use it to turn over the pancakes, Zhang Chao chased after him for a while as his father said, but he still couldn't do this flea, and finally the more he scratched it, the more itchy it became, so he had to turn over and sit up.

"What are you going to do?"

"Take a bath."

"What kind of shower in the middle of the night, don't toss anymore."

Zhang Chao didn't care about it, he had to take a shower tonight, he couldn't sleep if he didn't kill this flea.

Touching the black kang and lighting the oil lamp, Zhang Chao began to light the fire and boil the water.

With his actions, the people in the room couldn't sleep.

Zhang Chao found that he was about to become a real Tang Dynasty man, and he hadn't taken a bath for many days. It's true that I haven't taken a shower for many days, and I haven't even washed my head.

It was not easy to take a bath in the Tang Dynasty, especially for ordinary people, and it was even more difficult to take a bath in winter. It's not the Black Tang Dynasty, and it's not the Heizhangjiagou villagers, they really don't like to take a bath.

Anyway, Zhang Chao has been in the Tang Dynasty for so many days, and he hasn't washed it, and he hasn't seen his father wash it.

In these years, there is no running water, no water heater and no bath bomb, so if you want to take a bath, you have to fetch a load of water from the well at the head of the village and bring it back, and take a big pot to burn it for half an hour.

There is no special bathroom, not even a shower.

If you have the conditions, you can still get a big bucket, and if you don't have the conditions, you can only scrub the bucket in the firewood room. It's better in the summer, but it's so cold in the winter, it's easy to catch a cold when you take a shower. With the medical conditions of these years, even a cold and flu are a big problem.

In the pre-Qin era, it was clearly stipulated in the "Rites and Rituals" that people were encouraged to wash their hair every three days and bathe once every five days. Of course, since it is encouragement, it means that people are not up to this level.

From the Qin and Han dynasties to the Tang Dynasty, only high-ranking officials, nobles, wealthy businessmen, and wealthy businessmen had that condition, and washing once every three days and taking a bath once every five days was just an idealized way of life.

In fact, in ancient times, bathing represented four different actions.

It is explained in the text that Mu, wet hair, bath, sprinkle body, wash, sprinkle feet, bath, sprinkle hands. Mu is to wash the hair, bath is to wash the body, and wash is to wash the feet, and bath is to wash the hands.

In the Han and Wei dynasties, these four characters were still distinguished, but in the Tang Dynasty, there is no such strict distinction now.

But under normal circumstances, it is not easy to take a shower.

Officials in the Han Dynasty took a five-day holiday, that is, five days of work and one day off, called Xiumu, which originally meant to work for five days and go home to take a bath once during the holiday.

Up to now, court officials have a ten-day rest.

In ancient times, whether it was bathing or washing hair, it was more troublesome, so the ancients tied up their hair and put a hat or wrap on their head, which also meant to isolate dust and keep their hair clean.

Fortunately, there is a rich and expensive family in the family, and there are thirteen of them, so the water tank at home is always full. Otherwise, if Zhang Chao wants to take a bath in the middle of the night, he not only has to temporarily light a fire to boil water, but also has to go to the well at the head of the village to fetch water.

There are more than 50 households in Zhangjiagou, and they usually rely on the well at the head of the village for water, and there is neither running water nor a well. The first thing Qian Shuzi does when he gets up early every day is to go to the village to fetch water, and pick up three loads of water in the morning. In the evening, you have to pick it again in case you need it in the evening.

Pick up a few loads of water, and go in half a day.

When the water comes back, it has to be boiled. In winter, if you don't boil two buckets of hot water, how dare you take a bath. It takes at least half an hour to pour a load of water, and half a handful of firewood.

The Zhang family is in the countryside, and it doesn't cost money to cut firewood by themselves, but if it is from the city, this firewood also has to be bought with money. If it is a daughter-in-law who has to take a bath twice in three days, instructs her husband to carry water, and wastes firewood and water by herself, this mother-in-law must have a very ugly face.

You bathe every day, you don't have to work, where is there so much poverty?

It is impossible for ordinary people to take a bath every day, and it is impossible to wash their hair every day. If there are long fleas and lice, then take a grate and put it together, which is considered a dry cleaning in the Tang Dynasty.

The grate is similar to a comb, but the teeth are more fine, and there is a row of teeth on each side in the middle of the back of the comb, and only a few hairs can be allowed to pass through between the fine teeth.

The comb is used to comb the hair, while the grate is used to clean the lice and lice, as well as to clean the sludge that adheres to the hair.

In later generations, lice and lice were little known, let alone seen. But these little things, in the era of the Tang Dynasty, were really good companions of human beings, except for those rich people of the scholar clan, most of the people in ancient times had them.

In winter, people have a daily homework, that is, when the sun is warm at noon, take off their jackets and turn over their sleeves, and then sweep and clean up little by little. The gray lice will be clearly visible at this time, grab one, clamp the nails of the two thumbs, and with a crisp sound, the lice will burst.

There are also some people who will be more direct, simple and rude, catch one, put it directly in their mouths, and bite it with a chirp, and give it directly to the ****.

Lice and lice are both parasites, but only in the hair, lice are lice cubs, white, like a small silkworm egg, lying on the hair and rarely moving, then the grate is the best use.

He placed a piece of wood in front of him, dissolved his hair, and combed his hair over and over again with a fine grate.

The lice, lice, and dandruff that are hiding in the hair will rain down.

Zhang Chao doesn't know how many times he has seen these pictures, they are so beautiful that he dare not recall.

Ke Xiaoba likes to put the lice he caught in his mouth the ****, and the scalp of the person who watched it was numb, which made Zhang Chao admire him more than Bei Ye.

Usually, everyone washes their faces, hands and feet, washes their hair and bathes, it is a big project, and those who love hygiene may wash it once a month, and if they are random people, they may wash it once in winter, and some may even have to wait until summer to wash.

Zhang Chao couldn't bear it anymore, tonight this lice made him unable to endure it anymore.

"Boil some more water, let's all take a shower."

Zhang Chao saw that several gentlemen in the room were sitting there, and simply proposed.

"I only washed it last month." Uncle Zhao said.

"I've only been washing for two months."

"It's too much trouble to take a shower, it's cold." Hachi sat next to him boiling water, and his other hand was still looking for lice in the placket of his clothes.

"It's cold in the shower." Ke 13 is also against bathing, there is already a natural layer of dirt on his body in winter, this layer of dirt can indeed play some role in cold resistance, if it is too crisp, it is not frost resistant.

"It's okay to wash."

Dad didn't object, anyway, he was tossed by Zhang Chao, so just wash it.

"If you have enough water, let's wash it together." Zhang Chao also said.

I wash it by myself, and I have to sleep with them later, so this flea lice will have to be transferred again.

Several people reluctantly agreed, as if it was a very embarrassing thing for Zhang Chao to let them take a bath.

After tossing for a long time, the water was boiled, and Zhang Chao asked Xiaoba to bring a basin and call for cold water to exchange.

"I'll come first."

Zhang Chao couldn't wait to take off his hat and put on the soap.

Tang people wash their hair, and people from better families will use slightly fermented rice washing water to wash their hair, and Yahuan will help wash it. A group of ordinary people can only do it themselves, and they can only use gray water, that is, water filtered from plant ash.

In fact, it is also because the plant ash filtered water contains alkali and can remove oil.

However, Zhang Chao has a better soap, and the soap has a very strong ability to remove oil, which was originally used for bathing, washing hands and washing face, but now Zhang Chao has no other better shampoo, so he can only replace it with soap.

Wet your hair in warm water, grab soap and apply it to your hair, and when the bubbles bubble up, Zhang Chao called Xiaoba.

"Rub it for me."

"Ouch, it's a tap, scratch my scalp."

Xiaoba's understanding is not bad, and after a while, he has mastered the skill of washing his hair, his nails are gently scratched on the scalp, and his fingers keep rubbing his hair, and there are more and more bubbles, which is called a comfort.

"Wash it too, and don't let the water get cold. With soap, it is refreshing! Zhang Chao greeted several others.

Seeing Zhang Chao's comfortable appearance, everyone was also a little moved.

"Thirteen, help your Uncle Iron Gun wash his hair." Uncle Zhao shouted on the side.

Ke Ba washed Zhang Chao's hair, Thirteen washed his father, and Uncle Zhao and Uncle Wang also formed a team.

After washing, the basin of water was black and greasy like ink.

"Take a grate comb!"

A louse was found today, which made Zhang Chao feel that he was probably infected with lice.

After washing my hair, the whole person is much refreshed.

There was no big bath bucket at home, so Zhang Chao directly carried the bucket to the horse shed and scrubbed it with a cloth. As soon as he took off his clothes, he stood under the windy stables on all sides, and Zhang Chao cold's teeth fought.

Quickly make a quick decision, wet your body with water, and then apply soap.

I took a dried loofah sac and rubbed it vigorously on my body, although this thing was hard and my body, and it hurt a little like an iron brush, but it was better than a bubble ball, and soon my whole body was full of soap bubbles.

If it weren't for the fact that the weather was too cold, Zhang Chao really wanted to wash more.

The cold wind blew him several times, so he had to end his first bath in Datang early.

Holding a gourd scoop and pouring water from the beginning, rinsing off the foam, wiping his body with a dry towel, and changing into clean clothes, Zhang Chao had the urge to let out a long howl.

Refreshing!

Over there, Daddy and the others also finished washing their hair and started to take a shower.

"It's too difficult to take a bath, it seems necessary to build a bathhouse, a bathhouse, a hot pool, a bath, and it's better to get a sauna again, that's cool." Zhang Chao stood in the cold night and couldn't help but think.
