Chapter 40: Extraordinary People Do Extraordinary Things
The bathhouses here in Wuhan are still a bit special. In the past few years, water was difficult to use, but boilers have been generally used in recent years. However, the boilers are expensive, and anyone who can use boilers to open a bathhouse is often large-scale factory owners.
They were originally used for their own use, but because the population in Jiangnan and Jiangbei was increasing, they were open to the society and earn some extra money.
In any place where labor-intensive, the signs of "soup" or "pool" can be seen everywhere. There are also those with bath tickets or single-time prices on the signs. In short, there are many varieties, which are made like tickets from the Wuhan public transportation system.
However, because there are many bathhouses, a category has been formed, and bathhouse culture has emerged.
Merchants from all over the world, as long as they are familiar with Wuhan, will naturally divide different bathhouse styles.
For example, some bathhouses are extremely spacious, use a lot of water, and bath scrubbers are even more busy. These bathhouses are usually gathered by northerners.
Some bathhouses are not only decorated in place, but also imitated Taihuang to put on ceramic tiles. These days, they look very "high-end" and are specially given small bathhouses or small pools. Most of these bathhouses are hang out with southerners. Bath scrubbers rarely make a lot of extra money here, especially in Guangzhou Township Party, which can almost not even make half a copper coin, because they may go directly to take hot springs.
"Everyone has their own license plate and tie it to your wrist. You are new here, try it for three days!"
"Come here to get the staff uniforms, bedding, towels!"
There are seven or eight bathhouses in the big market in Xianning City, all of which are official bathhouses. It doesn’t matter if you want to go in as a bath scrubber, because if you go in as a bath scrubber, as long as you are a formal worker, you will get the employment contract from Jiangxia County. Not only will the Jiangxia County Magistrate sign and seal, but also the Jianghan Observation Envoy’s Mansion stamp.
In short, even if it is a bath scrubber, there is a staffing here.
Shangguan Tingzhi was arranging a new "intern" to scrub the bath at the top of his voice. Suddenly, when he saw a few familiar faces, he immediately laughed and scolded: "Wuron, you snatch, come here for a very enjoyable place, rolling rolling rolling rolling rolling rolling rolling rolling rolling rolling rolling rolling rolling rolling rolling rolling rolling rolling rolling rolling rolling rolling rolling rolling rolling rolling rolling rolling rolling rolling rolling rolling rolling rolling rolling rolling rolling rolling rolling rolling rolling rolling rolling rolling rolling rolling rolling rolling rolling rolling rolling rolling rolling rolling rolling rolling rolling rolling rolling rolling rolling rolling rolling rolling rolling rolling rolling rolling rolling rolling rolling rolling rolling rolling rolling rolling rolling rolling rolling rolling rolling rolling rolling rolling rolling rolling rolling rolling rolling rolling rolling roll
"Hehe, brother, don't rush, I'm here to make a living. I'll be busy in the first month of the year. When I get familiar with it, I will open a bathhouse when I go back to Xijing."
"Can you afford a boiler?"
Shangguan Tingzhi still smiled and looked at the person behind Wulang. There were two people who lowered their heads and moved forward slowly, but they could not see their appearance. Shangguan Tingzhi didn't look at it carefully and still chatted with Wulang, "The water in Xijing is not good, and it's not easy to open a bathhouse. It's better to go to Hetao."
"Look first, look first..."
Haha, Wulang crawled over with a smile on his face, and the two boys behind him still lowered their heads, but did not let Shangguan Tingzhi pay attention.
It's so shameful!
Zhang Cang looks mature and has dark skin. He can't tell if his face is hot. However, Zhang Mian's face is flushed and he wishes he can run away directly.
But he was still smart after all. He knew that his grandfather would not let them live. Instead of going back and begging his mother for help, it would be better to go there honestly.
My grandfather said that their father knew about this... he knew... he knew... he knew...
What kind of virtue does your own father have? How can you still not know the son?
I took my things and found a shop in Datong. Although the shop was crowded, it was probably because of the official business, and it was actually quite hygienic. It was completely different from the shop in the guest house. It was dirty and messy and messy, so it could make people vomit for three days and three nights.
Official dormitories pay attention to hygiene, and they are forced to do so. After all, when the person comes to check, it is not the workers in Datongpu, but the managers who are fined.
The layers of oppression naturally force the old and young men to clean up and work harder.
"Brother, I feel like I'm dreaming now... You hit me?"
Bang.
Zhang Cang slapped Zhang Mian on the back of his head with his back hand. It was very pleasant to hit him. After the slap, he looked at his brother: "Are you awake?"
"That would be great if I dreamed."
“…”
Zhang Cang was also speechless. He could make his brother, who had always been smart and clever, turn to pursue "metaphysics". It is conceivable that the gap in life is here.
"Can we sneak back home?"
"You are not afraid of being broken by Aye, just go. Anyway, I don't dare."
Zhang Cang looked at Zhang Mian's instigative eyes, how could he not know what this kid was going to have?
"It won't necessarily break the leg, right?"
"You may not say that."
“…”
The two brothers fell silent for a moment, and their biological father might really break their legs.
"If I had known this, I would have followed Xue Niang. I would rather let me be a dog!"
“…”
Seeing that Zhang Mian was so "despicable", Zhang Cang was immediately displeased and had to educate his younger brother and give him backbone. So he said to Zhang Erlang, "Why do you always say that you are a dog? Xue Niang is the sister. Isn't it natural for her to do what she asked us to do?"
“…”
The two brothers were silent again and did not intend to continue talking because they would start working in the afternoon.
As a bathing intern.
In the Hanyang mansion, Zhang De saw Uncle Tan coming back and asked, "Did you really go to the bathhouse?"
"The boss is so peaceful. The second brother makes a fuss for a while, but he still goes. It's okay to have Shangguan Jinhong here."
Uncle Tan went in to inquire, put down his handguard, took off his cloak, hung it on the clothes hanger, and looked at Zhang De, "In a while, if you can endure hardships and increase your knowledge, it's okay to send it to the capital for a trip."
“Um…”
Lao Zhang pondered for a while, and did not comment. He seemed to have been thinking for a long time before asking Uncle Tan, "I'm afraid I'll be trapped by someone. Too many people want my life. I can't kill me. It's easier to kill my two sons to vent my anger."
"The son of the observer of Jiang Han is naturally to stare. Kill two bathing boys, how can there be such a brainless strong man?"
"Sweep the bath?"
Old Zhang was stunned for a moment, "Uncle, can't he plan to let them go for a trip as a bath scrubber."
"There is also Zhang Liqing and Zhang Lihai's youngest son, who are protected openly and secretly. Even if something happens, he will plunge into the world, and he will not be afraid of the sea captors and searching for them."
"Oh...forget it, uncle, please make arrangements for yourself."
"My husband said this, I must take it seriously."
"Take it seriously, it's even more real than real gold. It's just that Zhiniang, the third lady... it's hard to say."
"If you want to inherit the big business, the way for a family in the past is just two or three generations. It is very easy to do extraordinary things. I will only protect you for a few more years at a time."
Speaking of this, Uncle Tan looked like he was "I hate him but I couldn't make him steel". Since Zhang De was not interested in sympathizing with the Daozu of the Sect, there was nothing he could do, but Uncle Tan couldn't watch Zhang's family die next.
The truth that goes against the side and takes the side is the future.
Zhang De looked at Uncle Tan, and his mood was a little complicated. He opened his mouth but said nothing, and agreed that Uncle Tan would temper his two sons.
