Chapter 14 Wash and Wash First
"Who?" Lu Sien said in a long voice. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Your Excellency, it's us!" After briefly reporting his identity, without waiting for Lu Sien's permission, Ellie rushed in with a group of knights, and Lu Sien's expression at the moment was in a distortion between a deterrent and a serious face.
"Ahem, what's the matter?" Lu Sien tried to put on a serious face.
"Captain, you're bathing alone, aren't you?"
"Eh, what's wrong?" This is too fascinating, do I still want to take you with me? Lu Sien thought a little maliciously, I don't care, but I'm still afraid that you will press me to the ground and rub it.
"It's been a month since we came!" "In the eyes of the knights, the irresponsible Lu Sien at this moment looked simply a heinous crime. "But the dignity of the knight still does not allow us to lie in a manger! How can a knight endure such humiliation! Such a condition no longer allows us to sweat on the training ground!"
Experience a special event and the morale of your troops is -30.
Hey, wait a minute, I understand you.
"Oh, that's it," Lu Sien hurriedly told the knights the method he came up with, making the knights' eyes blazing, "Don't worry, in two days, I will let them build a bathroom for us, and I will be wronged during this time," Lu Sien was also helpless, and thought about it: "If there is a way, you can help me and take Alice to clean it too." ”
......
The turmoil caused by the cleaning passed, and Lu Sien, who was free, finally had his own space to do something.
First of all, the mattress on the top of the bed, the quilt is all replaced, the raw leather cushion is covered, the velvet is covered, and finally a camel hair blanket is covered. Let's live!
It's a pity that the bed is still a whole polished stone, and it's cold and hard to sleep on it, so why not a wooden bed?
Then he lit a bunch of herbs used by the field march to drive away insects and snakes, and the smoke was billowing out, and all kinds of strange little insects crawled out of the dark corners of the house, and a small part ran out of the room, and most of them were trampled to death by Lu Sien.
"Ahem, this smell is too pungent. After a half-muffled sound, Lu Sien opened the window again with red eyes, and then closed it in an instant.
Your uncle, it turns out that the place to take a bath is under Lu Sien's window, there is no way. He lavishly lit an incense stick, and then lit an old-fashioned oil lamp that did not fit in with the room in the room, and the platinum candlestick Lu Sien still had a few, but unfortunately there were no candles, and dragged a small straw mat under his buttocks, took out a wooden board and a charcoal pen, and began to write on the little table that the Lord had made for Lu Sien for him when he was young.
I also have some knowledge and memory that is ahead of my time, and although I have zero engineering skills, I guess it's okay to design a simple public bathroom......
An afternoon passed in Lu Sien's painting. Near dinner, the butler came to report.
"Young Master Lu Sien, the people in the village told me that the timber you asked them to cut for you has been delivered to the door of Zhuangzi. "To be honest, Ford is also quite puzzled, wouldn't it be good for those dealers to leave their things at the manor, and they won't leave if they are told to go, and they said that Master Lu Sien ordered them. What's even more hateful is that the firewood that those people hugged on their hands was the wealth of the Kabas family, these mud legs......
"Oh, I'm finally back. Lu Sien rubbed his eyes, this kind of oil lamp just hurts his eyes. "I'll go see where they go. ”
More than 20 logs from 200 adults must have arrived, so in about three days, we should be able to raise enough materials to build a public bath.
Then Lu Sien quickly despaired.
Two hundred or so people are good, but a total of 7 logs were brought to Lu Sien, and the branches on the top were not cleaned, what's the matter, a whole day's work, more than 30 people are enough to push a tree, and the roots are all sparse.
Lu Sien, who didn't understand the situation, patiently asked about the labor.
Well, this group of turtles, worried about the wear and tear of tools, these 7 logs are all smashed out by them with stones!
Facing the beaming expressions of the villagers, Lu Sien can't say even if he has a thousand words at the moment, I really underestimate you, you guys are playing MC! I really thought that the tree with bare hands only existed in legends, but I didn't expect that a group of you people are all legendary people, what kind of sin did you create to fall into this mortal dust?
However, the harvest of collecting firewood is quite rich, and those who do not need to carry the tree are really carrying a bundle on their backs and holding a hug in their hands, and according to the one-third of the tribute requirements, the dead branches and rotten leaves that the villagers consciously pile aside have become a small hill. What do you say?
Feeling that he couldn't communicate with this group of fools, Lu Sien had no choice but to turn his head and ask the old housekeeper, didn't he have any iron tools at home?
Lu Sien really didn't want to take out his set of tools now, that was his last set, and he was still waiting for the territory to develop a little better, so he handed over this thing to the blacksmith, and let him use this thing as a blueprint to build tools, which can be regarded as creating a little pillar industry for the territory.
Simply, no matter how difficult and difficult the environment is, God still leaves a trace of life for people.
That's what the butler said, there are still some iron axes and saws on the top of the territory, all locked in the arsenal! Yes, you heard it right! The arsenal! Those things can be considered weapons!
"Wait!" Lu Sien dropped a sentence and hurriedly walked back, if it was a day ago, probably the villagers would have made a fuss, but maybe it was because Lu Sien had changed his clothes, and his majesty was rising, and even the Duchess spoke softly to Lu Sien, not to mention this group of mud legs.
The clothes are gorgeous to this extent, even the formal dress of the Marquis of Real Power is nothing more than that. These civilians who have been crawling at the bottom all their lives will subconsciously feel that Lu Sien is a great person from the first time they see it, and they will position him high in their hearts.
Therefore, although this group of farmers subconsciously felt uneasy about Lu Sien's reaction, they still stayed where they were trembling and did not move, and even quietly put the firewood on their backs on the firewood stack.
Lu Sien went quickly, and came back very quickly, with Mar Hum and the old butler's son Matthew behind him, one carrying seven or eight axes, and the other carrying three or five saws.
"Tell you! Take these tools and distribute them yourself! If there are only a few rough logs tomorrow, I will definitely have people whip you with a whip!" motioning for Mar Hum and Matthew to throw things on the ground, Lu Sien announced his decision again, "These tools are on loan to you on behalf of the Lord, so I will only buy them for 6 pesos per log in the future!"
Most people don't understand the changes, less money, less money, anyway, for the noble lord, if you can give some money, everyone should sing the praises of his kindness, and think that there is more money and less money. As for the small number of people who are responsible for smashing wood, it is really good, even if it is wrapped in leaves, but among the people present now, the hand is not full of blood blisters, and now it is great to have tools.
"7 and wood, according to the price we agreed, a total of 4 lim and 8 pesos, take it and fuck off! These things are for me to use carefully, the axe is worth 12 dinars, and the saw is worth 20!" Lu Sien counted out the full amount of coins and handed them to the old rabbi with his bloody palms outstretched, and he couldn't help frowning at the sight of the wounds in the hands of the group. "Let's disperse first, all the people in charge of logging are left behind today, I have something to say. ”
The others dispersed, leaving behind dozens of overwhelmed men, including the old rabbi.
"Wait for me here!" Lu Sien left with Mar Hum and Matthew again, leaving the old butler alone with a group of people staring at each other.
This time it was longer, and after waiting for a long time, Lu Sien came back with Matthew, this time carrying a large bucket. "Come up, old rabbi, butler, and watch from the side what I do. ”
The old rabbi walked forward with a worried face, and looked at Lu Sien, who looked disgusted, took out a sharp dagger, brushed it, and quickly picked up all the blood blisters in the old rabbi's hands, and the blood blew out in a moment, mixing with the dirt in the old rabbi's hands into a black and red color.
"Go, go to the bucket and wash your hands!" Covering his mouth and nose, he handed the knife to Ford, and told the old rabbi to go to the back to wash his hands, and said viciously with a look of disgust. "If you don't clean up these things on your hands, you won't want to go back today. ”
"Huh~~~" Rao is the tenacious nerve tempered by the old rabbi for many years of hard work, and he also exhaled in pain without checking it for a while.
There is no other reason, the water in the bucket is lukewarm, mixed with salt, that is, the salt used by this villager to exchange for beef the day before yesterday, which is completely different from the snow-white refined salt brought back by Lu Sien, with many impurities and earthy color, Lu Sien tasted a little, his face was crooked, and his tongue was half numb, which was very similar to the feeling of heavy metal poisoning. Of course, this kind of salt can't be used to make air-dried meat, and after a large part of the salt at home has been consumed, Carly takes Matthew and Mal Hum to process the remaining beef with firewood, and can only make cured bacon.
Although this is the case, but the pile of soil and salt is piled up there, and Lu Sien strictly prohibits using it to mix food, but it is just right to use it to make disinfectant water for these bankers at this time, and the soil salt is thrown in the hot water, the salt is differentiated in the water, and all the impurities sink to the bottom of the barrel.
The old rabbi trembled, and subconsciously wanted to withdraw his hand, but was glared at by Lu Sien, "Give me a good wash of your hands inside, this pain is the punishment of the gods for you not to clean yourself, survive this pain, the wound will no longer hurt, and it will heal tomorrow!"
Taught by Lu Sien's fierce lesson, although the old rabbi was in pain, he was even more afraid of the divine punishment from the gods, so he had to grin and clean his palms.
The aristocratic lord will never deceive people, and after a while, the old rabbi was surprised to find that it was really not painful (in fact, it was painful), but he looked at the black and white arms and palms a little dazed.
"Alright, you can go back!" Lu Sien nodded with satisfaction, the old rabbi thanked him for his kindness, but he was still ready to wait for the others.
"Next!" Lu Sien greeted in a loud voice, watching the men come up one by one with a twist, allowing Ford to break the blood blisters and blisters in his hands, and then put his hand into the barrel and grinned for a while, Lu Sien only felt that his heart was refreshed and crooked, but he didn't want to torture this group of ignorant, stingy, and reluctant to use advanced tools to work and kill people with advanced fools! I was just worried that under such sanitary conditions, their wounds would be infected.
It's true!
As soon as the water was dirty, Matthew was carrying it and dumping it in the ditch of the manor, and then turned back to the kitchen, where Mar Hum came with another bucket. After a few back and forths, everyone's wounds were cleaned.
Lu Sien waved his hand and let him go, and a group of rough men threw their hands on both sides and hurried back to the village, like a flock of big fat geese with wings ready to fly!
With Mal Hum and Matthew to rough the logs a little, after the bath was completed, the knights in capable hunting suits also participated in helping.
Then dinner, fall asleep, and look forward to the next day full of hope.
In the middle of the night, little Lori climbed onto Lu Sien's bed, don't think about it! Explain carefully, and the little Alice, who washed her body clean and fragrant with the beautiful big sisters, finally disliked the strong strange smell on Mrs. Cabas, and the knights' collective dormitory couldn't accommodate her, so she pointed her to find Lu Sien.
Of course, I don't have to say anything else, the next day, in order not to occupy my room. According to his own room, Lu Sien dewormed and deodorized all the rooms of Little Alice and the knights. Updated bedding.
With the knight's assurance, Madame Cabas took a hot shower with an aggrieved face, and immediately fell in love with this elegant way of life, and Rusin once again rearranged her mother's room.
For a while, the flush shower was hot. The bedding that everyone had eliminated was smoked with fire and medicine and rewarded to the butler and the servant. Lu Sien took the opportunity to stipulate that no one in the manor should clean his body at least once every three days.
The Lady even decided to wash it every day, well, and the butler also blushed in approval.
Ask for push
