Bathhouse.

"Oh, you're always in charge, why are you here?" Boss Zhai hurriedly stood up.

Mrs. Xu took a look, she was too busy today and there were not enough people.

The fourth uncle and the second child are still on the other side of the river, and only Lao Zhaitou's cousin is left in the bathhouse.

She commanded, "Quick, let's put up the screen." Look at the corners where there is no neatness, and then pick up and pick, there are distinguished guests. The lamps are all lit, don't save the candles, and make the hall bright. ”

"However, the scrubbers haven't come back yet."

"I have already asked someone to call Wang Daye and them, and when they enter the house, you will say that I said it, be sure to let them use fragrant pancreas to wash off the fishy smell on their bodies first, especially the fingernails, and then rub them for others. When you rub in the shower, don't talk so much. ”

Since a lot of foreign businessmen came, these people who rubbed the bath were finally able to catch people chatting in the winter, and there was a lot of every day.

For example, if you describe it as smelly, you can make a bunch of it when you hear about it.

What is the smell of search, it is the sour smell of sweat. Cover the smell of the bar, moldy. Earthy smell.

There is also a fishy one, a hala smell, and it doesn't smell good.

The merchant was still thinking about asking her when she was eating later, what was the smell of trouble, but she couldn't tell it. However, Tian Xin said that it is the taste of drinking the oriental leaf white flower snake grass water in modern times. Yes, it means that there is no answer.

It's just to describe a simple smell.

I heard that Guan Erbald also made a lot of jokes about his pulse to see a doctor.

Ask people if it hurts, jumps, or stiffens. The pain in the legs and stomach, the pain in the joints of the bones, or the pain in the teeth?

In short, outsiders are funny when they hear us, saying that you have a lot of adjectives, and those who don't understand think that we are looking at foreign countries. In fact, the locals just talk like this, and they don't pretend to be funny. Let's see that people don't understand, and they follow silly music.

Bathhouses are often filled with laughter and laughter due to the different languages spoken in different places.

Mrs. Xu was very worried that she would not tell this sentence alone, and General Huo would come after a while, and when she took a bath, she would have to laugh and laugh with General Huo again.

"In addition, don't accept money from others, put it on my account, and mark it with the word hospitality." Mrs. Xu left after speaking.

She also had to hurry to cook. General Huo's meal, the caravan's meal, and I have to find a private room for General Huo and the others to eat alone after taking a bath.

Old man Zhai hurriedly chased out, but he only had time to ask: "Always in charge, according to what arrangement?" ”

"The most stylish!"

This sentence makes it clear, the most factional is to arrange it according to the Emperor of Bath.

Old man Zhai hurriedly returned to the bathhouse, and according to Mrs. Xu's request, he was worried while lighting the lamp.

He wants to complain, always in charge, have you forgotten that we can't write again?

I don't know what's going on, but I'm always in charge and forgets about it.

Always casually let them remember this and that.

Alas, in fact, the people in the village became more and more aware of the importance of literacy with the mutual market.

Old man Zhai thought to himself: When will a literacy class be held, even if his generation is scrapped, at least let the next generation mark the word "hospitality".

You can't go to the chief manager again because you can't write these two words. Even if people are free, they don't say that you can't even do such a little thing, but we will be embarrassed. As the days go by, there are more capable people around the Xu family, don't eliminate the stupid boys in the village.

This is something that the people in the village are a little worried about in private. Especially when I heard that the Xu family was going to build a house next year, there was not enough manpower, and it was destined to recruit capable young men from other villages to help.

A smart young man will seize the opportunity to compare his strength with Erdaohe and his eyesight. As long as the young men from other villages are given a chance, they will definitely compete to stay in the Xu family for a long time to earn wages.

Half a quarter of an hour later.

Outside the bathhouse, Jiubao took a few steps back and deliberately looked at the plaques everywhere: "Xiyu Xu, ah, eat fish." But this name is so good to talk about. Young master, is there any origin and deep meaning? ”

In fact, Huo Yunqian also wondered.

Based on the amount of knowledge he currently has, he really doesn't know what the meaning is.

And to make a personal promise, it is easy to understand, bathing. It's just too straightforward and not subtle enough.

Jiubao suddenly muttered, "...... Is it you? ”

I'm really talented.

The double door of the bathhouse was wide open, and all the service staff were in place: "Five VIPs, please inside." ”

When Huo Yunqian came in, the outside doorknob was hung with a sign saying "Do Not Disturb".

Even the redundant bathing master was outside, brushing the shoes of the five VIPs.

There were also five of the best bath masters who didn't go into the inner room, waiting outside for the rattle to call at any time.

Yes, that's how the Emperor of their village baths treated.

The people in the village brainstormed and said in the early meeting that the emperor of the bath was the key point: to pay attention to the privacy of the guests.

When the VIP changes clothes, he should first hand over a large white cloth that wraps around his waist up to his knees, and then immediately turn his back and turn his back, not looking at the other person's body, and let them face the wall.

When the VIP takes off his clothes, he has to bow his head and ask if he needs to fold his clothes properly.

If you don't say a word, you touch it again. If you don't say anything, you will play dead. Explain that the VIP has a small house.

Therefore, even the bathing master can't wear big shorts to wander around the house, or sit there and look at people, asking over and over again, "Is it okay?" "That's not going to work, don't let me rush.

There is a rattle next to the bathtub, and if necessary, it will be shaken and asked to go in again.

In short, they are absolutely private.

When Liu Laozhu held the meeting, he regretted that there was a lack of mutes in our village. That's called absolute privacy for VIPs.

At this time, the inner room was divided into three partitions with a screen, and the largest bath was already filled with fragrant soup.

A small wooden table is placed next to the pool.

On the table was a small wooden plate, divided into four small partitions, and the wooden partition was engraved with words indicating what kind of toiletries they were.

Then go and find the little dish in each partition.

It is striking that next to the bath products, there is another orange-flavored essential oil smoked with a round cake candle.

Huo Yunqian didn't know how to describe this oil body, but after taking a look, he guessed that it was incense made by Xu Tianxin.

He sniffed with his nose, the orange smell was quite strong, and he used to use black agarwood.

Huo Yunqian was a little puzzled, is the public bath already so proper now?

Is it the first time he has come to this kind of place, and he has seen less, or is it just like Erdaohe?

He was just about to ask the money clerk in the other cubicle when the three children picked up by Xu Laosan walked in.

They went to the three baths one after another, opened the food box and brought out pastries, hot tea, and frozen red, and the red fruit was covered with hoarfrost, which looked quite good.

The brothers picked up by Xu Laosan are called Dapeng, Da Fei, and Da Bird respectively.

The greenhouse put a small box with a lock in the place where Huo Yunqian would be able to see when he took a bath.

Bowed his head and said respectfully: "Grandma said, let you put your valuables here, this is the key, VIP you take it." ”

Dapeng took his two younger brothers out of the bathhouse and exhaled a long breath.

If you want him to say, this is not VIP treatment, what does it mean to take a bath alone and no one speaks?

People are obviously social animals, and they really can't understand the brain circuits of noble people.

It's very depressing inside.

The brother hurriedly ran back to Xiyuxu, and then helped the kitchen cook.

Since this brother came to Xu's house, Mrs. Xu showed joy without getting up, it was called robbing her son, and she also detained a basin for her son.

Mrs. Xu thinks that these boys have two children, and in such weather, they have the courage to dare to climb over the mountains and mountains, at least they have courage, perseverance, and are still bold and careful children.

And how old is the baby, it is adolescence, and if you are educated at this age, don't go the wrong way, and you won't be able to take charge of yourself in the future.

But she thought so in her heart, but on the surface, she had a dispensable attitude towards this kid at first, and she wanted to observe the conduct first.

And with observation, it was really hard work, and he took the initiative to eat less even though he was not full.

There were two sudden caravans in the middle of the night, adults were so tired that they couldn't get up in the middle of the night, and the table was so tired that they were sick a while ago, and the one called Dapeng got up to cook dumplings for the caravan as soon as possible, and saw that there was silver to support, and silently went outside to hold firewood, doing what he could.

The second boy, Da Fei, was even more smoky and snowy, and in the middle of the night he went to the village to inform him with a snort.

Mrs. Xu asked him why he didn't catch the car, but Da Fei didn't answer, but he could feel that the child didn't dare to touch any of the Xu family's property. On weekdays, I still get along vigorously with the full table family, and I don't fight or grab, and I can do more work.

It was only at this time that Mrs. Xu was troubled, and she ordered: "Eat and eat, don't be reluctant to wear cotton clothes for you, and worry about your niece and sister, you have to worry so much about how old you are, you have to live well by yourself first." ”

You must know that Mrs. Xu usually doesn't like to train people, and if she can be nosy, that is a bit of status. She is so busy all day, how can she have time to train this and that.

Then one more thing happened, and that was a qualitative change.

It's still the one named Dapeng, when he was cleaning the bathroom, he found that the guest had lost a broken silver horn, roughly one or two halves, two and a half.

Dapeng found Mrs. Xu and said Grandma, those merchants have to walk so far in the winter, and it is not easy to earn some escort money, and people who lose silver horns will be in a hurry. Ask who lost it, and be careful not to let people get it by mistake.

This incident made Mrs. Xu immediately pat the kid on the shoulder, thinking: Your kid's character, coming home is fate.

To use an inappropriate analogy, strange cats and dogs have to be raised at the door of the house, not to mention children who have no father or mother. If there is no way, there will be no way, and no matter how troublesome it is, admit it, just you, my eldest grandson.

And with the change of Mrs. Xu's attitude, this eldest grandson also got several white eyes from their godfather, Xu Laosan: too capable, his brain is still active, and he seems to be very stupid.

However, Xu Lao Er became the second father, and Xu Lao Si became the little godfather, which is very welcome. has inexplicably been promoted, and there are more people in the family who are dedicated to the Xu family, which is very good.

Alas, I asked Zhao Dashan to find Xu Tianxin's grandmother's house, but I couldn't find Tian Xin's uncle and grandmother, and I wondered, Tian Xin is so famous, why didn't he come to find it.

After investigation, it was a coincidence that it was the day when their mother and niece almost died in the summer, Tian Xin's uncle sold the house, and heard that he had reconciled with his daughter-in-law, and the two had no children, so they gave half of the house money to their daughter-in-law, and left with their bags and their mother.

There is no way to escape.

Zhao Dashan helped find out that Tian Xin's uncle left on the county river boat that day, guessing that he went to the south.

In short, the Xu family has too few relatives, but there are a lot of "relatives with different surnames", which is also very good.

No, since Mrs. Xu's attitude has changed, the eldest grandson she picked up is even more trotting.

Entering the house, Xiao Sun first told Mrs. Xu: "Grandma, those nobles have already soaked, I see that his expression is very satisfied, what should I do next?" I'll light the fire. ”

"Oh, okay." Mrs. Xu immediately told Yu Qinniang which dishes to list. I didn't worry about the food cooked for the caravan at the table, so I took a special look at it before leaving.

She wanted to find the eldest sister of the Bai family, that is, Lao Bai's sister and Bai Xiucai's aunt, and wanted to borrow the Bai family's shop and arrange for General Huo and a few people to come here for dinner. Bai Xiucai's aunt has to avoid the kind of thing, if you believe her, put the goods there.

Mrs. Xu is worried, can General Huo like the messy talking in our shop? Gotta find a quiet place. Besides, the table in the restaurant has been fully booked, and today even Liu Laozhu's family has to support the table to invite those who are eating in the villages, and by the way, help her do three things, one is the person her granddaughter wants, and the old couple will go to Erdaohe with bamboo strips.

The other two are naturally the relocation of the full table family, so that the village is releasing people.

In addition, the godsun was transferred from the household registration in Xishan Town.

I heard that there is a friend of Liu Laozhu who is barely a friend of Lizheng, who has a worse relationship with Lao Lei, and this person's in-laws are the chief bookkeeper of Xishan Town, and he is in charge. Put the household registration of a child who has no father and no mother, and let the eldest sister of this grandson also come, tsk, otherwise, I heard that it is not easy to bring a one-year-old daughter, it is better to transfer the household registration to Erdaohe to do something to support the girl.

And in this matter, there should be no need to ask Zhao Dashan, lest Dashan still have to find trouble in Xishan Town.

Therefore, Liu Laozhu's sheep and scorpions are eaten, and Mrs. Xu doesn't plan to ask for money, which is equivalent to feasting those who are doing things for her family. By the way, it is vanity to earn face.

Including the sheep soup that the villagers hunted and drank in winter today, Mrs. Xu didn't plan to ask for money.

Isn't it possible to fish until February? Take up a little more quota for everyone's fishing salt, and you can get this money from anywhere. Let's calculate with these folks who have just lived a human life.

Mrs. Xu said in her heart, it is really true, everyone has just lived the life that belongs to one person.

Don't look at their cheers, as if they are earning so much, they can't stop the foundation from being poor to the limit, it can be seen that the past is not as good as modern pigs and dogs.

In their village, they want to have two changes of clothes per person in every season, they are too tired to stew meat every three or five times, they want to use water, they can have a well in the courtyard of their homes, they dare to put salt in cooking, and they dare to say that the whole family is full, which is the kind of life at the bottom and the bottom of the modern age, and it takes two years of stupid work to reach this level.

And there is paper in the toilet, which is not daring to think about it for the people in the village, so don't worry about it.

So this time, the bones of two sheep were made for everyone to boil, and there was no meat. Every time she takes out the soup after boiling the bone stick, she will use the bone stick to boil it again, and she can't wait to use the nutrition without a little bone again and feed it to the dogs, and she still needs any money from the village.

But this simple thing has made her reputation as always the master go to the next level. This is also something that Mrs. Xu didn't expect. The more people in the village are like this, the more unwilling she is to calculate.

At this time, the Bai family.

The white girl said very simply: "Emma, old sister, what you say is outside, if there is anything that cannot be trusted, I will withdraw and leave the house empty and never disturb." Everyone is a distinguished guest, can you steal my Ganoderma lucidum ginseng, you can't help but dislike it, the quality is not good, and you don't want to give it to people for nothing. Besides, you just look at the money clerk and pay attention from the side, I know him, he has a family background. ”

Mrs. Xu thought to herself: You are really right, even the money clerk in it is not an ordinary cannon.

When she first came in, Mrs. Xu looked at Bai Meizi's face a little bad, as if she was arguing with her man. Although it's still so cool: "What's wrong?" By the way, Bai Xiaoxiu is talented, why didn't you come to join in the fun today. ”

Bai Meizi couldn't hold back in the end, and she didn't treat Mrs. Xu as an outsider, so she thought about it and complained: "Alas, sister, do you think my mother is old and confused?" I didn't tell anyone, just give a girl to the four seas. The woman's father and mother arrived this morning, and the girl also arrived, so we only knew about it, and we didn't come today. You also know more or less about my nephew, pay attention to etiquette, and don't want his family's reputation to be said that he is arrogant and talented, no matter what he thinks in his heart, he is also polite to meet guests at home, and he wants to make it clear. ”

The white girl continued:

"But my nephew wasn't so angry with his grandmother, but he was very angry with my eldest brother.

Me too, I'm so angry.

I was telling my man just now, my mother is an old fool. Ordinary boy, you think about tying it to your side and hurry up to pass it on, you can.

This can't let you have a baby early and be selfishly locked around.

To tell the truth, my nephew got up early and studied late to get out of this shabby farmhouse.

Lest you wake up and listen to the rooster's crow, step on chicken shit in the yard, and squat in the frozen butt cat building on a rainy and cloudy day. It's not dark yet, everyone in the village is sleeping, and the dog is left barking, what kind of good day is this?

I can't understand who to talk to in the village, and I can't understand any rural girl I am looking for.

That's to be an official to enter the city, and the official lady painted eyebrows, but the whole thing is like this, so I can't agree to it, it's not like I'm looking for something to offend people.

My eldest brother also said earlier that Mu Yan must go to the city if he is lucky enough to marry a lady from an official family. His father, who doesn't go into the city to live together, will definitely not cause trouble. ”

Mrs. Xu also listened to it directly.

Indeed, there are some objectively hostile environments.

That's why she agreed that her granddaughter would be a loser and that she would clean up the house next year.

Cover it, she is willing to open the window and lie in the yard to attract mosquitoes, but she doesn't care.

Isn't her granddaughter more arrogant and cultured than Bai Muyan? But women can't take the imperial examination, and our family is not from the city, so this condition is here. You can't walk or leave it down.

It's better to spend money, lest her granddaughter, a good modern child, go crazy in the countryside.
