Chapter 233: A Fresh Way of Bathing

A dry of guests were led away, Li Chen brought male guests, and all the male guests followed him to the men's area, first of all, the dressing room, changed the clothes, and everyone changed into a large bathrobe, which is the kind of white, extremely wide, and open robes that we generally use.

After changing, Li Chen took a group of people to go to the sauna, first of all, Li Chen took a bucket of water outside, brought it into the room, everyone followed, and saw that there was nothing in the room, there was no steaming hot water in the imagination, there was no bathtub, how to take a bath?

It's not right to say that there is nothing, the room is empty, and if it can be said to be furnished, there is only a long seat against the wooden wall, the seat is nailed to the wall, and then there is a coal stove, or Li Chen's own workshop is the product. Now the problem is that there are things, but the people don't understand it, so how to wash it.

I'll demonstrate. Li Chen first added coal, and there were sparks in the furnace, which made the fire flourish quickly. Li Chen added the coal and stepped on the blast skin next to him, and soon the fire became bigger. Li Chen added coal while pouring water to the stove, and the water quickly turned into steam when heated, and after a while, the room was filled with steam. Everyone felt the heat.

Li Chen arranged for a few people who had just followed him in to steam first, and carefully told them a lot of things. Like because the stove has a chimney passage outside, so not afraid of suffocation. Again, don't steam for too long and go out when you feel uncomfortable. If you don't feel hot enough, you can add coal and water, and if you don't want to do it or can't do it, you can ask the doctor for help. After telling him, he took the next wave of people to another room and demonstrated again.

'Just bathe like that?' Luo Yin looked at Luo Qing, Luo Qing shrugged his shoulders, not long after he came, this habit was learned from Li Chen. Luo Qing pulled the big bathrobe to his waist, exposed his upper body, sat on the bench against the wall, and then thought of something, stood up, dipped the towel in the water he had just brought over, and covered his face.

Don't say it, it's comfortable. Luo Yin did the same, so after a while, he felt that his body was sweating a lot and was stained with a lot of water vapor.

After steaming for a while, feeling a little uncomfortable, Luo Yin got up, greeted Luo Qing, left the room, looked left and right, remembered what Li Chen had just said, after steaming, he would flush cold water, and then walked to another square statue.

It's like a big bathhouse, with two pools of water, one is hot and you can watch the water steam, and the other is cold. Luo Yin picked up the shower head, studied it, and thought of Li Chen's words just now, and pulled down a switch, and cold water came out, flushing it with a cold heart, but it felt very refreshing.

After flushing, he went down to the pool of cold water, and as soon as he entered, he felt a chill to the bone. First according to the doctor's instructions, first put down the feet, slowly get used to it, and finally gritted his teeth and sat down.

'Steaming before soaking in cold water, we can rely on the alternation of hot and cold, stimulate our body, can increase the strength of the body, and it is less likely to get sick in winter. Mencius said, born in sorrow and died in peace, this is the truth. There was also a doctor in this bathhouse, and whenever someone came in, he would explain. Tell them to rinse off before going down to soak it.

The doctors are not only responsible for explaining, they also have the responsibility of saving lives, if anyone has a physical abnormality, they must find out as soon as possible, as for what to do after they find out..., there is no ambulance, what they can do is not let people die in their own baths.

Of course, Li Chen is not so irresponsible. The reason why the sauna needs him to teach the children to support is because Li Chen also taught some emergency measures, such as artificial respiration if the heart stops, or someone is drowning, and the Hamlich method to save the swallow. In addition, there are some first aid techniques, such as how to bandage blood loss.

These things seem complicated, but in fact, Li Chen will teach them in the classroom. You don't have to start from scratch like you did to get a PhD. (VO: Are these things useful?) , Li Chen: Otherwise, you parachute into the doctor to try it for me, remember, even modern medicines and equipment are required. )

'Cool.... Luo Yin soaked for a while, barely adapted to the ice water, and wanted to express his feelings, but after thinking for a long time, he only roared, "This Li Shisan is really capable, you can think of such a way." ’

'Rejoice.' One after another, people came in, and Suleiman also soaked in, and suddenly felt that he was very cold, but he was also very happy at the moment.

This method is fresh, you can take it back to your hometown and try it later. ', an old man who followed Su Lai slowly said, Su Laiman nodded and agreed, indeed, this way of bathing is very suitable for the desert due to lack of water, "I don't know how that Li Jun came up with it." ’

The origin of sauna can be traced back to the pre-AD era. It is said to have originated in Finland, so after it was introduced to Taiwan, it was called a Finnish bath for a while. Later, according to its sound and form, it was called sauna, or sauna.

It's funny to say, Li Chen once thought that this kind of sauna was invented by Central Asians, or that it had spread in Central Asia. Because this sauna is also known as a Turkish bath. He had to ask Suleiman if there was a similar way of bathing in his hometown.

Of course, it turned out to be nothing. In fact, this can also be imagined, although it is claimed that as early as around the end of the Common Era, Finland had such a way of bathing. However, at least at the time of the Tang Dynasty, it was not introduced to Central Asia, otherwise they would have introduced this bathing method to the Tang Dynasty a long time ago.

Even, Li Chen can infer that in the Song Dynasty or even the Yuan Dynasty, this bathing method did not spread in Central Asia. Otherwise, at that time, the exchanges between the east and the west were prosperous, and the shipping during the Song Dynasty was even open by land in the Yuan Dynasty. It's impossible that no one thought of opening a sauna in China.

Li Chen's reasoning is completely correct. In fact, this bathing method was popularized in ancient Rome. The baths of the ancient Romans had the form of cold and hot water, as well as steam, which was probably learned by the Romans and the people of Finland. Since then, it has been the characteristic of the Roman baths.

It was not until later, after the Ottoman Turks captured Constantinople, that they absorbed the Roman habit of preferring baths, and gradually improved them into Turkish baths with Turkish characteristics. It's just that, not to mention the Song Dynasty at this time, even the Mongols were defeated, and the exchanges between China and the West were temporarily cut off, and this way of bathing naturally could not be transmitted to China.

In the evening, some of the invited guests left, and some people heard that there was a novel way to bathe, so they rushed over, and Li Chen greeted them with a smile at the door. Judging from the reactions of the guests, today's opening ceremony was a success.

What the happy Li Chen didn't know was that a storm was about to sweep in. (To be continued.) )
