Chapter 171 Looking at the toilet is also fresh

Cruise and his lieutenants, who were wandering around the port of Manhattan, were amazed at what they saw.

Well-dressed Manhattan soldiers, Indians in green cotton coats, and vendors who constantly shout for their wares.

The dazzling array of small goods impressed Lukes.

Of course, the European laborers on the dock touched Lux the most.

But through talking to the owners of the Manhattan stores, Lukes also knew a little. That's the guy who works hard at the docks to make money, but the Virginia area doesn't have the skills to come here because they don't have any skills.

If you have some skills, you won't starve to death here in Manhattan.

A blacksmith from Virginia next door proved this, and his shop was doing a brisk business. Although there are iron tools for sale in Manhattan, there are no blacksmiths in Manhattan, and some iron weapons or farm tools always have to be repaired if they are broken.

And some carpenters, who either started their own small businesses to build furniture for sale, or went to work in Manhattan's shipyards.

But whether it's a personal business or working for Manhattans, they can get a good income, and of course they earn more by doing things for Manhattans, but they have to take care of their families.

But what does it matter if you have money?

The streets of Manhattan are very clean and don't have the stinking smell of European cities. At the same time, there is no feces on the street, and there is no scene of feces and urine flowing sideways.

This amazed Lukes.

He's been to a lot of European cities, but none of them are so clean.

Even though it's winter, it's still a stinking scene in European cities.

How exactly did the Manhattans do it?

Lux and his lieutenant couldn't help but be curious.

Soon, he and his lieutenants learned why. A European man walked out of a snack bar, looked left and right, walked to a corner outside the snack bar, and unbuttoned his trouser belt to untie his hands.

He had just released the excess liquid in his body for a while, and five or six Ah Sanmen, who had been wrapped in red cloth, ran over from not far away with wooden sticks.

When they saw this guy, they beat him up without saying a word, and then dragged the unlucky guy away.

The owner of the small shop where Lux and the others were located did not look surprised at this scene at all, as if they had seen too much and were numb.

"What are they doing? Isn't it okay to pee? ”

Lukes' deputy's cheek twitched, then swallowed his saliva and said with difficulty.

In his opinion, this thing is a little too incomprehensible, isn't it okay for people to and pee in Manhattan, if that's the case, wouldn't he be suffocating?

Besides, he has no way to control such a physiological reaction.

You must know that the greatest force in the world is the strength of 'feces and urine'.

The owner of the store smiled: "How is it possible, the Song people here in Manhattan are very reasonable." That guy was just beaten and taken away by the chengguan because he didn't follow the rules. ”

Chengguan!

It turned out that those guys with strips of cloth wrapped around their heads, like a big pineapple on their heads, were chengguan.

Lux memorized the titles of these people.

"Don't you think Manhattan is very clean?" The little boss said to Lux and his deputy with a smile. Lux and his lieutenant nodded, and they admitted it from their hearts.

The shopkeeper looked embarrassed and opened the conversation.

"If you look at it, you're a person who has been to many places, and I don't need to tell you what a city on the continent is like. Anyway, in my opinion, it's not a place for people to live, and if I want to say it's better to be here in Manhattan, I don't want to leave after I stay. ”

The shopkeeper raised his hand and pointed to the street not far away: "In this city, the management of sanitation is very strict, they are strict about pouring feces and urine on the street, and in order to facilitate everyone, they have also built public toilets and public bathhouses, which are better than our own country." ”

On the Manhattan side, the Song people forced Europeans to take a shower and pay attention to their personal hygiene.

If they did not come according to the requirements of the Song Empire, then they would be driven out of the city.

And the Europeans who want to make money, for the sake of the gold coins, will of course abide by this rule, although they do not yet have the habit of bathing.

At the same time, considering that the Europeans all have bad breath, Zhao Hongyu and the others also forcibly let the Europeans use toothbrushes and toothpaste, because every time Zhang Tie negotiated an agreement with the Europeans, the Europeans' bad breath really made Zhang Tie unbearable.

As the shopkeeper spoke, Lux and his deputy's eyes grew wider, and it was as if they were listening to a fantasy.

"I wasn't used to that toothbrush when I first started using it, and it bleeds every time I use it. But after using it a few times, I found that my mouth was no longer ugly. ”

Ha!

As he spoke, the boss raised his hand to cover his mouth and let out a sigh of relief, sniffing it himself.

A fresh smell that was simply not possible before.

And after paying attention to his hygiene every day, he found that his jīng god head was getting more and more full, and he was no longer as decadent as before.

Toothpaste! Toothbrush!

Lukes remembered a few more words.

"The Europeans who live here in Manhattan today will be regarded as incapable and despised, if they do not pay attention to their hygiene and sloppy upper boundary."

At this time, an Indian walked into his shop, sat down in a seat next to him, and greeted him.

The boss said a hurried word to Lukes, then smiled and beckoned the Indians to go.

Lux and his lieutenants already felt that their brains were clearly not enough, because the information they were getting now was too much and too much.

And there's a lot of information that they can't understand.

"It seems like this guy is telling the truth, captain, do you remember the laborers on the docks?" Just as Lux was thinking about it, his deputy said to him in a low voice.

Lux nodded and replied to his deputy, "Of course, but is there anything wrong with this?" ”

He wondered what his deputy was doing at this time.

The deputy said: "I think of them now, although those guys are hardworking, but they are all very clean." There are such people in the docks of Europe, but they are dressed in tatters and dirty. They are all professionals, and they are so different from each other. ”

As soon as the deputy reminded him, Lux remembered it.

He didn't even pay attention to it at the time, but now that he thinks about it, it seems like it really is.

The workers' clothes, although a little wrinkled, were not dirty on their faces and clothes at all.

This is a very strange thing.

As his deputy said, the laborers who worked on the European docks were very dirty and shabby.

"It's useless to talk too much, let's go see what kind of public toilet it is."

Lukes didn't want to go into too much detail about the dock workers, there was so much to know about Manhattan here.

The deputy nodded, and the two got up and left the small shop.

Before leaving, Lucas thanked the shopkeeper for not spending anything at the shop, and delayed the boss for some time.

Even if his real identity is a pirate, he still has to be polite.

You must know that Lucas has always wanted to be a nobleman, which has been his dream since he was a child.

Although this dream is somewhat unrealistic.

After saying goodbye to the shopkeeper, Lux walked down the street with his deputy, and sure enough, he saw a public toilet.

This public toilet has a big sign, and although there is no text, it has a big painting. In the painting, there are two small figures with thick lines, who are doing a gesture of unraveling their hands, which can be understood at a glance.

At the same time, there are two entrances to this co-working toilet, and at the entrances there are schematic drawings representing men and women.

Ho!

There is a distinction between men and women.

Lux and his lieutenant froze for a moment, and then they thought it was too sweet.

The two of them went in for a walk, and by the way, released the stagnant water in the surface.

It smells very bad in public toilets, and it smells very bad. But it's good that the city of Manhattan can get this kind of sanitation.

At least, much stronger than cities in all European countries.

In Kuks's opinion, that's how it is.

As they came out of the toilets, a horse-drawn carriage slowly drove down the path behind the shopping street, and finally stopped behind the public toilets.

An old European man, also wearing a green cotton coat and a cotton hat on his head, but was in his sixties and seventies, slowly jumped out of the carriage.

The carriage was odd, like an oversized barrel made of wooden planks.

Lux and his lieutenant looked at the old man and felt something strange. They don't know what this old man is doing in the toilet, and there is nothing good here.

But then they found out what the old man was doing.

This old European Ou walked to the manure tank at the back of the toilet and took a look, then turned around and climbed back into the carriage. A long wooden pole was taken out of the car, and a large wooden basin was tied to one end of this pole.

Dare to love, this old man is a dung digger.

There are quite a few such people in Manhattan. They were all people who had come to Manhattan from Virginia to look for work, but they were too old to do many things.

Zhao Hongyu is not a philanthropist, and he has no intention of helping these people to alleviate poverty. However, considering that he needs to hire people now, after adding Song Hu and a few of them, the Manhattan manure worker industry appeared.

After all, this kind of work is not willing to be done by people, and neither are Europeans who are young, strong, or skilled.

So, in order to eat and work, and for the sake of good pay, these old men from Virginia joined the industry. (To be continued.)
