National Tide 1980.

Chapter 21

In fact, no wonder there is such a sound.

That's more than two bucks!

Not to mention Ning Weimin's own "exchange rate", that is the future 30.

Even at the moment, this is enough for him to eat half a month of breakfast.

Or ask for a dry croquette in a big restaurant, a three-pack, and a liter of beer.

So after thinking about it, Ning Weimin was also quite surprised.

He said in his heart, what kind of bath is this, so expensive?

On the other side, when the old man came out of the window, he anxiously stretched out his head to look at the bath ticket in Master's hand.

As a result, what he saw was four pink paper receipts that were connected together.

There are not many words on it, except for the name of the Tsinghua Garden Bathhouse and the official seal on it.

The characters on each one are only "Pentang Ticket", "Five Cents Two" and "Only One Person".

Bundang ticket?What's the difference between the [-] cents pond ticket on weekdays?

Ning Weimin wanted to ask, but he was a little embarrassed, for fear of showing his cowardice.

During the hesitation, fortunately, Kang Shude had already seen his thoughts and took the initiative to explain a few words for him.

"Bundang is a pool upstairs that can be washed by one person per person. There are fewer people on the top, and it is cleaner than the bottom."

After he finished speaking, he started to walk in again.

Ning Weimin understood now.

But just as he was about to follow, he found that many people were staring at the old man's back, or whispering.

Among those talking, there was even one who held out four fingers to his companion with an extremely exaggerated expression.

As far as the envy in his eyes is, to say it today, it is like looking into the local tyrants.

Hey?This made Ning Weimin feel that this matter is not so simple.

Frowning and thinking about it, the old man's explanation seems to be quite vague.

For example, if Bentang says Bentang, why do you say Bentang when you buy a ticket?

Also, why not open four tickets?

In this way, he has been thoroughly aroused by the suspense.

When I chased in, I really couldn't wait to see what was going on inside.

Not to mention, as soon as you enter the second door, you can immediately feel that this Tsinghua Garden is different from other bathhouses.

First of all, the difference lies in the decoration facilities inside.

It is luxurious, elegant and high-end Western style, and it is very unified with the external style of Western-style buildings.

There are ceiling lights overhead, a patio in the middle of the corridor, a vaulted ceiling at the top, and glass windows that pass through the sky.

If it weren't for these things that seemed too outdated.

The features of the bathroom in the corridor are too obvious.

There are service desks for changing cards, the entrance to the women's bathroom, the entrance to the men's bathroom, and the entrance to the barber shop...

It can really be used as a house set in a movie.

Also, there are too many people here.

That's not an ordinary lot, it's a super lot.

The door of the men's bathroom was completely "silted".

The team even came out of the entrance, leaning against two dozen old and young men along the corridor wall.

Or young people get together, or older people wait with a newspaper in hand, flipping through it.

All of them looked impatient, and it was obvious that the time was not short.

In particular, the entrance to the bathroom was the most lively. Outside, several waiters could be heard shouting "shocking" people.

"...Wash it, hang it to dry, don't wash it, don't dry your clothes. Don't take a nap in the shower, you'll break your waist and legs. Buy a plaster patch, it's not enough to take a bath!"

Well, that's all for fun.

Not to mention, it rhymes quite a bit, and the rhythm is like an allegro.

There are also shouts specifically for taking off the basket.

It not only has industry characteristics, but also has guiding significance.

"Go in in a hurry, there are clothes baskets inside, you can take them off directly, and hang the number plate on the basket. Take off your upper body first, then take off your body, so that you can take it off and put it on. Please hand over your valuables to the cabinet, otherwise you will not lose it. Be responsible!"

Of course, not all of them are so humorous and calm, and there are also cases of urgency.

"Hey, I said these two, dress up, make a basket, let the front go and let the back go!"

"And over there, I said, comrades, if you have something to say, can you go back and talk? Let's hurry up and be considerate of each other!"

Obviously, the situation here may be more severe than Ning Weimin imagined, and it is not optimistic.

But it is precisely because it is so difficult to take a bath that it seems that they have taken a high-standard bath today, which is extraordinary.

Kang Shude didn't allow Ning Weimin to watch the excitement, he pulled him hard, walked quickly through the crowd, and led him into the tightest hug.

Finally, after the master and the apprentice passed the men's bathroom and the entrance of the barber shop in turn, Ning Weimin saw a staircase leading to the second floor.

The stairs were made of wood, and the steps had been a little worn out, but the railings were still shiny burgundy.

There will be a thumping sound when you walk on it.

It's not until you get upstairs from here that it really feels different.

Not only did the noise almost disappear at once, but the ears were immediately clean, and the decorations on it were also more advanced.

At the entrance of the stairs, there is a large mirror that can see the whole body, and then there is a hardwood table inside.

There is another square mirror and wall plug above the table, and cotton swabs, combs, hair dryers and other items are placed on the table.

Opposite the full-length mirror and the table are a few old blue leather sofas, but of very good texture.

It is actually a leather seat with a wooden shelf. You can tell by looking at it that it will be very comfortable to sit on.

Then along the wall, there are rows of small rooms.

The walls are all wood retaining walls, and the floor is covered with tiles.

The most amazing is the street windows, all of which are stained glass with different patterns.

Just like this scene, it really is exactly the same as the Shanghai style in the movie.

Gorgeous, psychedelic, and full of age.

In addition, it is probably because the workload is much less, or because they know that most people who are willing to spend several times the price for a bath are not ordinary people.

The waiter in charge of reception was also unexpectedly kind and polite.

In this age of uncles in the service industry, it was rare for Ning Weimin to see the polite smiling service and hear the word "please".

"Are the two of you together? Please come over there. Coincidentally, the pair of single rooms have just been vacated, you two won't have to wait for a long time..."

In this way, under the guidance of the waiter, the master and the apprentice entered a room inside.

Unexpectedly, the level of hardware in the room surprised Ning Weimin even more.

It's an inside-out suite.

Outside are two small beds with lockers, and on the beds are clean and white bath towels and towels.

There is an ashtray on the coffee table in the middle, a tea set, slippers below, and a spittoon in the corner.

The interior is suddenly bright, because the front window is a large area of ​​frosted glass, the lighting is far more than the downstairs.

On one side of the room, there are two large Western-style enamel bathtubs.

Both the shower and the faucet are pure copper.

In addition, there is a ceramic basin in the house.

In addition to the mirror on the basin, there are soap, shampoo and vanishing cream.

On top of that, one of the bath staff was shirtless, with towels draped over their shoulders.

He is trying his best to flush the bathtub in the house with boiling water and alkaline soap.

Seeing this scene, Ning Weimin immediately understood.

Dareqing This is the meaning of 'to the basin', a single room for two people in one house.

Don't say, it's like taking a bath in a hotel, this treatment is definitely a five-star standard.

The only difference from the single room in the high-end bathing center in the future is that the purpose of bathing here is more pure.

The environment also has a sense of the vicissitudes of the age, which is unique and interesting.
