Although this was in ancient times, many people were indeed not very clean, but Qin Zhi and the others didn't know how long it had been since they had changed their clothes properly.

Except for Cheng Qi, because he has luggage all the way, he can change his clothes, and he looks quite clean, but in fact, people really can't stand it.

It's Qin Zhi herself, although she occasionally cleans up by herself in the space, and her head and face clothes can barely be seen, but under the cover of the clothes, I don't know how much dirt has accumulated, especially on the back of the neck, it is so dark that you can't see the original color of the skin.

Uncle Meng and Lu Tianhe both went to inquire where there were inns and bathhouses, and Cheng Qi came to find Qin Zhi.

"Shall we settle down in the West City, or shall we go to the East City?"

Xicheng is basically a civilian area, and Dongcheng is naturally full of dignitaries. As for the Imperial City, of course, it is in the middle of this Shangjing.

"Just Westtown."

Qin Zhi said casually.

"Okay."

Cheng Qi is as good as a stream.

"You, really don't you go to the Cheng family?"

Qin Zhi suddenly asked him.

"Looking for what? Find it and then go to be a concubine? Greetings in the morning and evening, morning and dusk, blind marriage and dumb marriage, and being arranged for a lifetime? ”

Qin Zhi nodded, indicating understanding.

"Hehe, yes, anyway, I've thought about it, follow you, there is meat to eat."

Cheng Qi laughed.

Qin Zhi glanced at him and said leisurely:

"I'm afraid you'll have to fly solo in the future."

Cheng Qi was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "How come, I can see it, it's better to hug anyone's thighs than to hug your thighs, those who are princesses of the county are unreliable, and they are like tigers!" ”

Qin Zhi didn't answer this, just glanced at him, and his eyes were a little meaningful.

Cheng Qi felt a little strange in his heart, he always felt that Qin Zhi had something to say, and he was about to ask, Lu Tianhe and Uncle Meng came back.

"Miss Qin, I inquired, and said that it is the best and most affordable perfume shop here, just ahead!"

Perfume line? Is that what the people here call the bathhouse?

"However, it seems that only men are allowed in......"

Lu Tianhe scratched his head.

"Check it out."

Qin Zhi was noncommittal.

The group continued to move forward, asking questions all the way, and soon found a place.

"Baths? Soup pool? ”

Qin Zhi looked at the bathhouse next to each other, and felt a little novel, is this still a bathing street?

She looked at it with great interest, and it turned out that this was the place where ancient people bathed.

"Is the soup money only ten copper plates?"

So cheap? Qin Zhi vaguely has an impression that in ancient times, one tael of silver was almost a thousand copper coins, and according to the purchasing power, almost one copper coin is about equal to about one dollar in modern times, and gold, it seems that one or two can be exchanged for thirty or forty taels of silver, but ordinary people may not be able to use silver in their lifetime.

"This is just equivalent to the ticket money, and after entering, there are those who rub their backs and comb their hair, and all kinds of things may add up to thirty or forty copper plates."

Cheng Qi whispered to Qin Zhi to popularize science.

Some of these bathhouses are expensive and some are cheaper, but most of them are only about a dozen copper plates, and they are also cheaper, but the façade looks much shabby.

Lu Tianhe led the way in front and took the lead in walking to a store that looked at the façade was quite refreshing.

"I heard that this has the best reputation, the hot water is clean and refreshing, and the tea is delicious! Let's ask first, there are a few more in the back, and it's good to say yes! ”

Lu Tianhe had an excited expression on his face, he was also the first time to come to the bathhouse, how could there be such an exquisiteness in the countryside.

"No, women can't enter!"

The boss looked kind, but refused.

Meng Chengyi looked unhappy, but helpless.

"What a rule! Otherwise, you can wash it first, and we'll find an inn and wash it casually. ”

Meng Chengyi is a girl after all, and she is used to being rough on weekdays, so she is still a little cowardly at this time.

After all, the bathhouse was full of men, and if she was really allowed to go in, she wouldn't dare to go in.

"Charter."

Qin Zhi casually touched a piece of broken silver and slapped it on the counter in front of the shopkeeper.

In these years, the common people used very little silver, all of which were copper plates, and Qin Zhi's piece of silver weighed about two taels, and the boss was dumb all of a sudden.

"Yo, what's this...... It's okay to charter the venue, but there are still a few old customers soaking in it......"

The boss looked embarrassed.

"Okay, next."

Qin Zhi copied it with his hand, scooped back the silver, and turned around to leave.

"Oops! And so on and so forth! ”

The boss shouted one after another, "Stay here, stay here!" ”

Qin Zhi turned around and looked at him for a long time.

"If you have something to discuss, come on, come on, please come in first."

As soon as he made a move, he would have two taels of silver, which was a big customer.

Ten yuan tickets directly pay two thousand yuan, so bold, how can a business person easily let go of such a guest.

"Everything is negotiable, do you think this arrangement will work?"

The boss completely changed his attitude, and didn't dare to take Joe anymore, and he wasn't the only one who had a bathhouse on this street.

Qin Zhi didn't mean to embarrass people, so she naturally pushed the boat with the current.

It turned out that the boss's family lived in the backyard, doing business in the front and staying at home in the back.

"If you don't dislike it, let my old lady serve you?"

There are also several baths in the backyard of the boss's house, which are relatively small and used by his own family.

If Qin Zhi wants to charter the venue, she must clear it first, but the boss is a businessman, how can he easily offend people, many of the people who come to take a bath are regular customers.

He wanted Qin Zhi and a few female guests to go to the backyard to soak in the bath, and Cheng Qi and the men didn't care, they could soak in the big bath.

"The boss is really calculating, does this also charge for chartering?"

Meng Chengyi said dissatisfied.

"Look at what you said, this is my small business, bear with me!

The boss laughed.

Qin Zhi went in to take a look, but it was quite clean, so she didn't say anything more, and told the boss to prepare the hot water.

Originally, the bathhouse here was a fire underneath, which was a bit like the fire kang in the north, but there was a pool above.

In addition to bathing, there is also tea or something, and if you can afford it, you can also order some food.

Qin Zhi and the others spent a lot of money, although they had to prepare another bath for them, but this was also worth it, isn't it just a matter of spending some firewood and water, these two taels are a few days' income.

Cheng Qi and a few of them, no matter how big or small, went in to soak.

Qin Zhi has to wait because she has to prepare hot water.

The boss's wife, an old woman in her fifties, amiably asked people to burn the fire, and at the same time greeted a few people, and she didn't dislike the dirty, and reached out to hug the little girl.

Qin Zhi and Meng Chengyi were not very good, and Qin Siniang was a little cramped.

It's really a few of them, too sloppy.

Qin Zhi is the cleanest, and Meng Chengyi can still see it.

Poor Qin Siniang is only eleven or twelve years old, almost the age when she still needs to be taken care of, and she has to take care of a little girl, her body has long been sour and sour, and her hair has become a lock.

I'm used to walking in a hurry, but when I suddenly came to a big city, and it was this kind of bathing place, it seemed that my body was dirty.

"Hey, what's this, who doesn't feel that their body is not refreshing before they come to wash, if they really want to be clean, they won't come to our house!"

The old woman seemed to see Qin Siniang's uneasiness, and said heartily.
