Liu Xin patted the big box in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh: "These big boxes are really strong, they can hold five hundred kilograms of heavy objects." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Su Jia nodded with a smile and said: "The materials of this box are very particular, it is Tieli wood from Jiaozhou, which can be said to be one of the hardest woods, and it is strong and wear-resistant, not easy to deform, it is very suitable for making wooden boxes, but unfortunately, Tieli wood grows slowly, and it is located in the tropical rainforest of Jiaozhou, and it is still very difficult to mine on a large scale." ”

Lei Qiu looked at Su Jia in some surprise, but he didn't expect Su Jia to be able to identify the materials of this box at a glance, and be able to tell the origin characteristics of Tieli wood.

After Su Jia and Lei Qiu checked, they confirmed the quantity and quality of the five baht coins, and said that Zhang Wei did not make some small tricks.

But think about it, Zhang Wei is now a frightened bird, thinking that even if Liu Xin doesn't make a move, Liu Xin's apprentice can easily take his own life, so where does Zhang Wei dare to do anything.

After helping Liu Xin determine the material of gold and five baht coins, Lei Qiu got up to say goodbye and left to prepare for the construction of the auction house.

After Raichu left, Su Jia turned on the magnetic levitation state, carried the six boxes to a corner of the room, and went back to his room.

Liu Xin lay on the bed and rested for a while, and suddenly found that something was wrong, and after thinking for a while, Liu Xin remembered a very important thing, he hadn't taken a bath for three days!

On the night when he first arrived in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Liu Xin was still in a small building next to the warehouse in Chengdu, taking a barrel bath, and then there was no more...

In the past two days, Liu Xin has been busy with all kinds of trivial matters, and he sleeps at night, because it is winter, and Liu Xin does not feel uncomfortable.

Thinking of this, Liu Xin couldn't help but sigh that he had begun to be assimilated by this world, and his behavior was becoming more and more like that of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

In the pre-Qin era, the "Rites and Rituals" clearly stipulated that people were encouraged to wash every three days and bathe once every five days.

Since the Qin and Han dynasties, it has only been a high-ranking official and nobleman, and wealthy businessmen have this condition, and washing their hair once every three days and bathing once every five days is just an idealized way of life.

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

It is explained in the text that Mu, Mao, bath, sprinkle the body, wash, sprinkle the feet, bath, sprinkle the 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 Three Kingdoms period of the Eastern Han Dynasty, these four characters were still strictly distinguished, but time is fleeting, and in modern times, there is no such strict distinction.

In ancient times, whether it was bathing or washing hair, it was more troublesome, so the ancients often coiled their heads up, wore hats or wraps on their heads, and also isolated dust and kept their heads clean, so as to avoid damaging their image, so many film and television dramas have this aspect of performance.

And in the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was no shampoo, people with better family backgrounds would wash their hair with slightly fermented rice water, as for poor people, they could only use gray water, that is, the water filtered by plant ash to wash their hair, because the filter water of plant ash contains alkali, which can achieve the purpose of removing oil, and it is also a great experience summed up by ancient people in daily life.

As for bathing, it was even simpler, the dignitaries were able to use all kinds of precious spices mixed in the water, bathe in wooden barrels, and then wipe them with silk cloth and silk, as for the poor people, they basically could not afford to bathe in wooden barrels, so they could only rinse with clean water at will, and wipe their bodies with loofah pulp to wash away the dirt.

It can be seen that it is not easy to take a bath in this era, and it is not strange that Liu Xin has not taken a bath for three days.

Since bathing is mentioned, we have to talk about the vacation system of officials in the Han Dynasty.

Officials in the Han Dynasty took a bath every five days, which means that for every five days of work, they can go home and take a bath on vacation, which is simply five days of work and one day off.

After today's leisure, Liu Xin also remembered such a thing.

Liu Xin is a man of action, and since he thinks of it, he must implement it immediately.

Liu Xin took out shower gel and shampoo, as well as toothbrushes and toothpaste and other toiletries specially brought from Chengdu from a cabinet in the room.

After all, Liu Xin is still a person who pays a lot of attention to the quality of life, since he can have these toiletries, Liu Xin doesn't want to try to wash his hair with rice and brush his teeth with willow branches.

However, Liu Xin suddenly thought of a question, there is no wooden barrel for bathing in this room, and there is no hot water available at any time 24 hours a day, what is he in a hurry?

In fact, what made Liu Xin feel speechless the most was that the bathhouse was not popularized on a large scale in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and basically only set up in the palace, because the "Book of Filial Piety" has a cloud: the body is skinned, and the parents who receive it cannot be easily shown.

Therefore, even if it is Huangfu, when you want to take a bath, you have to notify the subordinate first, and then the subordinate will carry the wooden barrel for bathing to the room, and then prepare several large buckets of hot and cold water in order to adjust the temperature.

In less than ten minutes, a large wooden barrel two meters long and one meter wide was carried into Liu Xin's room, and after another half an hour, the next person brought in a few buckets of hot water that had just been boiled, as well as cold water used to adjust the temperature.

Liu Xin sat bored and sat on the side in a daze, he didn't expect to take a shower for so long...

Liu Xin asked the maid who wanted to serve him to take a bath to step down, after all, Liu Xin felt that it always felt strange when someone was around when he was taking a bath.

On the other hand, Liu Xin is an honorable party member who pays party dues on time every year, so Liu Xin will not degenerate into the landlord class in just a few days, and enjoy the service of others with peace of mind.

Liu Xin soaked in the wooden barrel, stretched his whole body comfortably, and enjoyed this rare calm.

After a while, Liu Xin made up his mind and prepared to build a bathhouse in Huangfu, because it was too troublesome to bathe in the room, and the most important thing was that it was very inconvenient to wash his hair and brush his teeth.

Because this is the bedroom, Liu Xin can only put his head on the wooden bucket to wash his hair after the bath, and brush his teeth by the way, because this will not wet the room...

In the evening, Liu Xin waited for Huang Mei to return, and then he said his idea of building a bathhouse.

Although Huang Mei felt that there was no need to build such a facility as a bathhouse, since the lord had spoken, Huang Mei didn't say anything, and immediately arranged a vacant guest room so that Liu Xin could renovate it at will.

Liu Xin saw that Huang Mei didn't care, so he told Huang Mei about the beauty of shampoo and other toiletries one by one, Huang Mei's eyes lit up, and he also understood why Liu Xin wanted to build a bathhouse, after all, the bathing method of bathing in a wooden barrel in the bedroom is indeed not suitable for using these toiletries.

Huang Mei, who was interested, immediately found more than a dozen subordinates and prepared to help Liu Xin build a bathhouse.

ps: The first update is sent, continue to ask for recommendations and collections, and the second update is still before nine o'clock, updated from time to time.

The plot of these two chapters will be biased towards the daily rhythm, because I have to think about how to arrange the rest of the plot, after all, the auction and the Ban Yu Rebellion are the end of the first volume of the book, and I need to think about it well.

Finally, I recommend a book that I am now chasing - "The Inventor of the Tang Dynasty".
