Chapter 26 Toileting

The cause of the incident was that Shakru had been working for a long time on the train and Sanyi's buggy, and had just had another good dinner, so his stomach was a little bloated, so he went to the toilet. Everything went smoothly at the beginning, but at the end, he was suddenly embarrassed to find that there was no toilet paper in this toilet, although he knew that Indians have always had the custom of wiping with their left hand, but in New Delhi only the poor do this, and the rich still use toilet paper

After a long time of ideological struggle, Sha Kelu felt that he still couldn't make this move, and at this time he heard the sound of someone walking at the door of the toilet, so he knocked on the door awkwardly and said, "That, eh, who is outside the door?" Do you have any paper on you? Any piece of paper is fine, hand me two? ”

At this time, a girl's crisp voice came from outside the door: "Venerable Mr. Pandit, have you finished going to the toilet?" Please open the door and I'll serve you. ”

Hearing this voice, Shakru remembered that this was the personal maid Suran Loha that Mrs. Sang had arranged for herself just now, a little girl who looked like she was only twelve or thirteen years old, it seemed that she had been guarding the door all the time, so it was just right, quickly let her hand the paper in, so Shakru just opened the toilet door.

But to his surprise, the little girl Su Lan did not hand in the toilet paper, but directly pushed open the toilet door, walked in with a basin of water and a towel on her shoulder, Sha Keru looked flustered, her hands didn't know where to cover, and said embarrassedly: "Su, Su Lan, you, what are you doing?" ”

Su Lan first put the towel in the basin and soaked it, then wrung it half-dry, and then said as she walked towards Shakru: "I'll clean it for you." As he spoke, he naturally walked behind Shakru, slightly helped Shakru with one hand, and wiped Shakru under Shakru with a towel in the other.

Sha Keru was suddenly struck by lightning, covering the vital point under him with one hand, snatching the towel from Su Lan's hand with the other, and said with a flushed face: "Then, then you go out, I, I'll just come by myself." ”

Unexpectedly, Su Lan suddenly knelt on the ground with a thud, and said with teary eyes: "Venerable Mr. Pandeit, where is Su Lan not serving well, you tell me, I will change, you must not drive me away." ”

"No, it's not that you don't serve well, it's that this way of serving is not popular in New Delhi, so I'm not used to it, that, you go out for a while, I'll be fine soon, don't worry, I won't tell anyone." Shakru explained indiscriminately, and finally fooled the little girl out, and then took a warm towel and wiped it under him, and said no wonder Ashfakyu told himself before he came, only in the village Brahmin life is the real aristocratic enjoyment, this TMD toilet has a little Lori to wipe your butt with a warm towel, this is unthinkable before coming, but I can't accept this kind of service, next time I go to the toilet, I still bring some paper by myself.

Out of the toilet, Shakru said to Su Lan, who was standing at the door of the toilet, "You go in and clean up the towels and basin, and then come to my room." ”

The furnishings of Sangyi's house are still very strong in the British colonial style, the bedroom is very small, the bed is also very small and low, or it cannot be called a bed, but a couch, but it is connected to the heating, so it is very comfortable.

Within a few minutes, Su Lan, who looked terrified, walked in, and before she could speak, Shakru said: "In the future, I won't need you to serve when I go to the toilet, if the housekeeper or Mrs. Sang Yi asks about this, you can say that I said it, and I will explain it to them at the right opportunity." Okay, don't cry, I'll reward you. With that, Shacruse gave Su Lan some rupee change as a tip to coax the little girl.

It may be that seeing that Shakru is easier to speak, after Su Lan accepted the tip, he pondered for a while, and said very embarrassedly: "Merciful Mr. Pandeit, can I ask you for one thing?" ”

Shakru replied casually, disapprerovingly, "Oh, you say it." ”

The little girl Su Lan blushed and plucked up her courage and said, "Mr. Pandit, can you tell Butler Bangpu that I will eat all your leftovers in the future." ”

Although Shakru knew that in the traditional Indian landlord family, the servants were all eaten by the master's leftovers, but why did Suran designate to eat his own leftovers? He was not her master, so he asked curiously, "Yes, but can you tell me why you did this?" ”

Su Lan said with some embarrassment: "Because you eat the most meat left over from the bones, so when you just withdrew the dishes, they all competed to grab your plate, I have little strength, I can't grab them, so I want you to tell the housekeeper, so that no one will dare to rob me in the future." ”

The bones Su Lan said were referring to the roast whole lamb in the dinner just now, after she said this, Shakru remembered that due to the fatigue of the journey, he did not eat a few bites and threw it back on the plate, but he didn't expect that this kind of gnawing of the leftover things could cause a fight among the servants, for the sake of this little girl's thin and small portion, Shakru nodded and agreed: "Okay, I'll talk to the butler later." ”

Speaking of this, Shakru seemed to remember something, and asked: "By the way, I'm a little curious, since there is no running water here, why not build a water tower, so that it is much more convenient to use water for domestic use or do something else, and you can also make a flush toilet, isn't it able to save a lot of things?" ”

"That's not going to work, because the water tower and the pipes are outside, and it's easy for the untouchables to touch and pollute it, so it's not clean," Su Lan explained. The water used in Mr. Wias's household is made up of special well water and snow melted in winter, which is the cleanest of all, much cleaner than the tap water. ”

For this explanation, Shakru felt very speechless, this kind of caste discrimination is really everywhere, so for a while, there was no ** to continue chatting with Su Lan, so he waved her away, and he lay down and fell asleep.

Early the next morning, Mr. Sang Yi came to invite Shakru to visit his tea plantation, which was originally a relaxation project that had been promised in advance, but this time the transportation made Shakru open his eyes again!

PS: In India, fish, eggs, and milk are considered vegetarian, and beef and pork should be eaten with caution depending on each other's sects.
