Chapter 52: The Bathhouse

Song Qing really didn't know how he had the idea of a bathhouse at that time, but since this idea appeared in his mind, he couldn't suppress it anymore, and it was irreplaceable, so he really couldn't think of anything else, and this sudden idea almost became the only choice.

As a person who washed in the public bath when he was a child, Song Qing actually has a lot of feelings for this kind of old bathhouse, and he can't forget the thing about swimming in the big pool when he was a child, but he came all the way over, racking his brains but he could only think of this idea, and he couldn't cry or laugh a little.

In fact, there is such a thing as a public bath very early, the earliest should be the period of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the Han people and ethnic minorities continue to mix, and slowly there are some habits of meat and vegetarian taboos, but at that time it was not too common, and when it came to the Song Dynasty, it slowly began to develop, especially in Bianliang, Tokyo at that time, the bathhouses were all over Kaifeng City and beyond, it can be said that it was quite popular, the implementation of male and female baths, and the service was very thoughtful.

In addition to bathing, bathhouses in the Song Dynasty also provided services such as back rubbing, nail trimming, massage, tea, wine and fruits, etc., in addition to the capital, large and small towns were also full of various public baths, but not so developed.

During the Mengyuan period, the bathhouse was also very developed, and even the medicinal bath and so on, and in the present dynasty, the public bath was renamed the mixed hall, and the price of each bath was one penny, equipped with bath beans and other soap-like toiletries, and the public bathroom in the eighties was not much different.

According to this statement, in fact, the bathhouse has nothing to make money, and there are a few mixed halls in Xuzhou City, which is not a new thing at all, but the words have to be divided into how to say, and things depend on how to do it, Song Qing's plan is to make this bathhouse a cultural place, and at the very least, it will also be a place for the rich people to chat and talk about things, that is, the high-end club of the bathhouse genre, he wants to get a full set, but the preparation time is too long, and the second is that the money needed is too much, and it is obviously not suitable now, We can only wait for enough money and time to implement it in the future, and it seems that the most suitable thing for the time is to put the bathhouse on the ground.

"Damn, it!" Song Qing gritted his teeth, the so-called people have left a name, this bathhouse is also an industry that serves the public, if it is really good, he will leave the reputation of the ancestor of a high-end bathhouse culture salon in the future, and it can be regarded as not a trip to Daming in vain.

The decision has been made, Song Qing, as a doer, immediately went back to Ding Kui, the thinker heard this idea, and first felt a little funny, but looking at Song Qing's slightly hideous face, he forcibly held back his smile and asked, "Brother Qing is serious?" ”

"What do you say?" Song Qing smiled and said: "I turned around several times, and found that this business can be done, now let's discuss a charter, I have seen the few bastards in the city, they are all the same things, we want to do something different!" ”

"What's different?" Ding Kui's face was bitter like a frosted eggplant again, he couldn't imagine how to make a difference in a place like Mingtang, which everyone is used to seeing and going.

"Well, you let me think about it, first of all, it's a matter of decoration, now I've seen it, the walls around are some stone slabs, and some are even earthen walls, which doesn't work at all, let's change them all to tiles, and then ask the painter to paint on it, and the decoration inside must also be changed." Song Qing said and felt something, and began to tell Ding Kui about his ideas, including providing all kinds of fast food, as well as massage services and the like, and finally concluded: "All in all, our bathhouse should be mainly made into two types, one is a local tyrant version and the other is a plain and elegant version. ”

"What do you mean?" Ding Kui still didn't understand.

"Anyway, it's the kind of people who are offered to the rich and the cultured, and these two kinds of people definitely can't be put together!" Song Qing didn't bother to explain more, and directly ordered: "Tomorrow, you go with me to choose a place, the house is ready-made anyway, and then I will take it down, and then go to those craftsmen who burn porcelain, and then find some carpenters and lacquer makers, the painter's affairs are not in a hurry, but it is best to do it in the next few days, and strive to open within a month!" ”

"So fast?" Ding Kui's brain is already a little insufficient.

Song Qing said as a matter of course: "Big brother, time is money, I am very short of money now, and I also need time very much, this thing itself is not too difficult, the house is ready-made, the rest is nothing more than to choose all kinds of things, find all kinds of talents, at most it is to make tiles a little time, a month is definitely not a problem, tomorrow I will strive to do the preliminary preparations well, let them start making tiles in two days, as long as we grasp a little tight, it will definitely not be a problem!" ”

"Since Brother Qing'er has decided, of course I don't have any opinions, I'll accompany you tomorrow." Ding Kui also knew that he couldn't be the master of this matter, anyway, the territory was Song Qing's, and it was people's business how people were willing to make trouble, he only needed to follow and help, and he actually preferred to do such things than to fight and kill, that is, to run more places, which was much better than going to the south of the city to fight hard with a knife that day.

Song Qing was anxious, had breakfast the next day, came to the small school field to watch the exercises for a while, and asked Wang Jian to help calm the field, so he led Ding Kui to Xuzhou City, looking for those people and things that were needed, Xuzhou is not famous for firing porcelain, but as a big city, these shops are naturally complete, Song Qing found one when he was walking around yesterday, and of course he went straight to the goal today, but when he inquired over there, the old man in charge had not made this thing.

Song Qing had to give the old man a rough explanation, fortunately, this thing is nothing more than a thin porcelain piece, the old man has been crafting for so many years, but there is no problem, immediately negotiated the price, agreed to see the finished product in two days, and then walked towards the next shop.

The next one is a woodware shop, Song Qing really wants to replace many things with iron, but considering the cost, he still decided to choose wood, and the Chinese have used wood to build houses for so many years, this is not just a matter of habit, many woods have become a culture, you really want to make an ironware, maybe many people don't like it, he chose the famous Wang Ji woodware shop in Xuzhou, directly selected some wood furniture, and hired some carpenters and lacquerers separately, ready to transform these things.

When he came out of the carpentry shop, Ding Kui was already a little dumbfounded, he claimed to be a person who understood aesthetics, and followed Song Qing out to buy things, originally there was also a sense of checking, after all, Song Qing is a child with a high force value, and he should be inferior to himself in this regard, but the woodware selected by Song Qing just now is undoubtedly something very tasteful, Ding Kui can see that the boss of the carpentry shop appreciates Song Qing's vision, and feels that he has met someone who knows how to do it, so he hires a carpenter and lacquerer. I also agreed to be very happy, you must know that this is a bit of a violation of the rules, obviously an exception for the person who knows the soul.

Where did Song Qing learn so many things? Don't tell me that Song Laohu taught me!

With this question, Ding Kui followed Song Qing and continued to walk forward, and their next destination was the famous local Qinglou Chunxiang Courtyard......
