Chapter 58: Tsinghua Pool Bathing

Qin Jingru watched their family talk, this stick stalk steals things, Qin Huairu not only doesn't educate, how can she look at this look like she is teaching children how to steal.

After all, it's not her own family, and she's embarrassed to say anything, even if she says it, people won't necessarily listen to it, and it's not like the first time to see a stick terrier like this.

…………

It's time for the weekend to rest again.

Early in the morning, Yan Jiecheng was pulled up from the bed by Yan Jiefang, and the two brothers were pulled up.

"Brother, let's go to the bathhouse to take a bath today, why can't you afford it?" Yan Jiekuang looked at Yan Jiecheng, who was still in a daze, and said anxiously.

"What are you two anxious about, what time is this? I'll sleep a little longer. "After saying that, he had to lie down again.

Yan Jiefang hurriedly stepped forward to stop him: "It's not early, don't go again, there will be too many people in a while, and the water will be muddy, how can you wash it." ”

Yan Jiecheng thought about it: "Then let's go, have you two prepared everything you need for the bath?" As he spoke, he picked up his clothes and put them on his body.

"I've got it all, I'm waiting for you, hurry up."

"Got it, didn't you see what I'm wearing."

………

As a later generation of southerners, I really haven't taken a bath in a big bathhouse, and when I came to this world, I boiled some hot water in my room and scrubbed myself.

I don't know what it's like for a bunch of bigwigs to strip naked and soak in a pool. He was going to try it, but when he was having dinner last night, he heard that Yan Jiefang and the others were going to take a bath, so he chose to join in without the slightest hesitation, and this is what happened just now.

The three of them took the bath supplies out of the courtyard and took the bus to Qinghua Pool.

Originally, Yan Jiefang and the others were going to go to the bathhouse at the entrance of the street to wash, but Yan Jiecheng had to come to Qinghua Pool, so they could only reluctantly agree, who asked Yan Jiecheng to pay for the treat, and whoever paid in the old Yan family was the uncle.

Tsinghua Pond was built in 1905 as a small bathhouse called Kokura Bathhouse.

Later, it was rebuilt and expanded by a Shandong Hui surnamed Yu to create the "Halal Tsinghua Pool". At that time, Ma Fuxiang, the chairman of Ningxia Province and a warlord, took a fancy to this land, bought it and renovated and expanded it, and built a two-story building, making Tsinghua Pool a halal bath with large scale, spacious style and exquisite equipment.

However, today's Tsinghua Pool is based on the original Tsinghua Pool Bath, and is formed by merging with Huiquan Bath and Hufang Bridge Bath.

Speaking of which, there were many baths in the streets and alleys of the capital back then, and those that could become a number like Tongrentang and Quanjude were estimated to be Qinghuachi.

Then, Tsinghua Chi can have such a big reputation, relying on the unique skill of "one trick fresh" - pedicure. In fact, pedicure became a kind of "enjoyment" in public baths in the early years, and there is a process of change.

At the earliest, pedicure personnel from all walks of life were set up stalls to repair, called "dry kiln". Later, I found that the people who had taken a bath came to repair it, and the skin and toenails of the feet swelled and softened, and it was much easier to repair the foot disease, so I moved to the bath and set up a pedicure stall.

Later, the owner of the bath invited the pedicure personnel who set up a stall into the bath, which is the origin of the pedicure attached to the bath, called "water kiln" and formed a type of work in the bath

However, Tsinghua Chi's pedicure business can become its own, which is somewhat advantageous for the reason.

The pedicure industry in the Qing Dynasty was more prosperous, and the southern city was especially developed, the reason is that it is mostly a leisure and entertainment place for dignitaries and nobles, and there are many people who wear official boots, and there are more foot diseases.

In the 60s, the pedicure industry in Beijing also had a brief development, and Tsinghua Chi established the first podiatric treatment room in Beijing and even in the country, and actively combined with traditional Chinese and Western medicine medical technology, from simple pedicure to foot disease treatment.

During this period, more than 200 people in Beijing relied on pedicure for their business, and more than 70 pedicure masters were concentrated in Xuanwu District.

The old pedicure masters also gathered together and came up with a book "Pedicure".

When the time came, a paper canceled the scrubbers and pedicures in the bath.

Fortunately, there is a foot treatment room in Tsinghua Pond that has been preserved.

It's hard to take a shower, it's a pity not to come to Tsinghua Pool.

paid the bath ticket, and three cents and six cents, which includes fuel and water fees, the difference between this Tsinghua pool and the general bathhouse is expensive, other bathhouses are a dime, only his house is a dime.

After paying the money, I went to the locker room and dragged the clothes into the cupboard.

I changed my slippers and walked through the hall with a towel on my back and saw a few chess players around here.

The two old men over there were fighting crickets, and there were those lying on the bed reading newspapers, listening to books and dramas listening to cross talk with the radio, and those lying on chairs with their faces covered and napping.

When you open the curtain of the bathroom door, the fog inside is clear, as if you have arrived in a fairyland, and some people especially like to sing loudly in the bathroom space with its own reverberation.

Some people don't see each other's faces, but they are still chatting.

It seems that it is still late, and I don't know where these uncles got so much energy and got up so early.

"Big brother, what did I say, tell you to get up early and you return the ink." Yan Xie Kuang complained.

"Okay, with your small physique, such a big bath can't fit you?"

"Don't say it, let's wash it quickly, and there will be more people in a while." Yan Jiefang urged.

The three of them came to the edge of the pool, and Yan Jiecheng directly raised his legs and walked into the pool, "Damn, it's so hot." ”

"Brother, you slow down, put your feet in first, and when you get used to the temperature, you soak your body in little by little."

Listening to Yan Jiefang's words, he moved his body into the pool little by little, and felt uncomfortable at first.

After the body adjusts to the temperature, I suddenly feel comfortable, which makes people feel like they want to sleep in the pool.

"Big brother, how is it, are you comfortable?"

"Well, it's okay, I just want to sleep, I woke up too early today, do you come so early every time you take a shower?"

"yes. It's not easy to come here, and you must take a good soak, and if you come late, you can only wash it in the rain. ”

…………

The three of them soaked in the pool for more than three hours, watching more and more people coming, ready to take a bath and rinse off and hurry away.

"Big brother, I'll help you frustrate first, and then you'll help us both frustrate."

Yan Jiecheng looked at Yan Jiefang holding something similar to a towel, and hurriedly said, "Don't, let's ask the bath master, I'm afraid you will break my skin." ”

"This scrub is just as good as the one that was taking a shower, and with the money, let's do it again next time."

Yan Jiecheng looked at him and chattered.

"Don't say it, you don't have to pay for it, hurry up and invite the bath master over."

………

Yan Jiecheng was lying on the wooden bed, and the bath master stood aside, rubbing his back with a bath towel.
