National Tide 1980.

Chapter 22

"How is it? It's not bad here, isn't it?"

Sitting on the outer bed waiting, Kang Shude began to take off his shoes, and by the way also asked about Ning Weimin's feelings.

"Look at what you said, do you need to say it? It's definitely better than going downstairs to wash the big pond. If you didn't bring me here, I would never have dreamed that there is still a place where you can take such a comfortable bath in the capital."

The old man was happy to hear it, but he deliberately teased the apprentice.

"Shu Tan is Shu Tan, but the ticket price is also expensive. Fifty cents a person, twice as much as Dachizi. And there is a time limit, one ticket is only 10 minutes. If you want to wash it quickly, you have to be willing to spend it. money."

I didn't expect that Ning Weimin really didn't care.

"I mean, it's no wonder you bought four tickets. But I still think the money is not wrong. I'll pay for the bath, who will let me open my eyes to you..."

Saying that, he sat down on the outer bed and started changing his shoes.

Soon, he expressed his sincere emotion again.

"Look at it, even the 'Crack Draper' is different here. It's a real pair. It's a good pair in the big pool. What's this called? It's called not spending money."

"Hahaha……"

Not only did the old man laugh, but this remark made the waiter amused.

"This is the first time, right? Then I really have to say, you're taking a shower today, you've come to the right place. I'm not talking big, no matter who you are, you have to wash up here once in your life, then It's not a loss, it's just a real bath."

"Why? It's because our Tsinghua Garden has the best and most complete bathing facilities. Like the bathtubs and faucets in this room, they were all imported from 'German Big Nose' decades ago. You can visit the capital. If you look for it, you won’t be able to find a bathroom as high-level as ours.”

"How about the Jingcheng Hotel? I heard that there is a gilt faucet there. But after all, it is not a place to take a bath. As for bathing, it is not as good as here. Besides, how much does a night stay there? Isn't it? As for the other large baths, Not to mention. Compared with us, they are all juniors."

"So it depends on whether the price is expensive or not. Anyway, the price of bathing in the whole city is the same. If the economic conditions are limited and the big pond is out of the basket, the master who is willing to make do with it. No matter where he goes to wash the basin, he will feel the same. Expensive. But if you pay attention to people, you are willing to spend more to take a comfortable bath, then you will feel that it is worthwhile to take a basin here. "

"Like the old man who brought you here, he looks like a man who knows what he does. Can you buy four tickets at once?"

Speaking of which, the waiter really went to ask Kang Shude.

"Have you come to us in the past? Is that the old man? In my impression, I seem to have seen you a few times..."

It's true or not, anyway, this master is quite able to do things, loves to chat, and is good at holding people.

Therefore, Kang Shude's words were also aroused.

"I've been here in the past, but you won't see me. Because at that time, I was still young. Back then, it was two yuan to rent such a single room, but it had to be silver dollars."

"I still remember when you had a telephone and a record player upstairs. This single bathroom is separated by a wooden wall with cream paint, not a dead brick wall like it is now. "

"Speaking of the wooden wall, it is the most fun place here. Because it is movable and can be pushed and pulled. If there are a lot of customers coming, the partition wall of the room will not become an obstacle to communication with each other. It is completely possible to put These plank walls are pushed away."

"In this way, two, three, or even more single rooms will immediately become one large room. Even if seven or eight guests want to talk about things, they can wash in one room..."

When Kang Shude said this, the waiter has since agreed.

"Yes, yes, your qualifications are too old, and what you said is too right. It was really like that in the past, and it was still like that when I came to be an apprentice. But we changed it later. One is because of the old sliding door. It's bad, it's not easy to repair. Second, it's because that kind of bathing method is not advocated anymore, and no one will come here in groups to hold a 'bath meeting'..."

They said it casually, as if they were at home.

But it was quite different to Ning Weimin's ears, but he was quite surprised.

Because he really did not expect people in the past to have such business wisdom.

The principle of this sliding door partition, isn't it similar to the multi-functional hall of the star hotel in the future?

Did this idea come from here in the first place?

If so, it's really hard not to give a thumbs up.

Think about it, as long as such a wall is installed, the utilization rate of the same place will be increased, and there is no need to set up a fixed number of private rooms at all.

No matter how many customers come, it can be adjusted according to the situation at any time.

Only a few people can wash if they want to, and they can chat as much as they want, and each has its own bathtub.

No matter from the operator's point of view or the customer's point of view, it is cost-effective, convenient and hygienic.

But such a simple and good method, how come no one knows how to use it in the future?

It seems that the person who will take a bath in the future will also be the cub of a mouse, and a litter is not as good as a litter.

…………

People of this age can only do things differently.

One is to talk, and the other is to smoke.

Kang Shude had a good chat with the waiter.

Ning Weimin gave the master who brushed the pool and the waiter each a good cigarette - Fragrant Hills of three cents and four packs.

To use the buzzword at this time, it is the success of "magnetization".

Then the most direct effect is that people register to use the time, not only deliberately postponed by 10 minutes,

And give them a pot of incense tablets for free.

See how fitting this is.

Just like that, chatting, smoking.

Before I knew it, the bathtub had been washed white and white, and the hot water began to be poured out.

So after the person who cleaned the pool left the house, the waiter also went to make tea for Kang Shude and Ning Weimin.

The master and apprentice began to undress together, locked the cabinet, each took a towel, and went in to take a bath.

The water was really rushing, and it was quickly put away.

Ning Weimin helped Kang Shude into the bathtub, and then he lay in it.

At this time, the benefits of each bubble are even more obvious, because the water temperature can be controlled automatically.

You must know that the traditional bathhouses in the capital pay attention to the temperature of the three pools, the low temperature is about [-] degrees, and the temperature of the hottest pool can exceed [-] degrees.

Kangshuide belongs to the "old bubbles" who are very addicted to bathing and are afraid of low temperature.

As long as he takes a bath, he has to go down to the hottest pool.

I was sweating profusely and my whole body was red, so that the blood vessels in the whole body were unblocked and the bones were relaxed.

This kind of feeling, for him, is like drinking and smoking. He is addicted. If he doesn't drink for a few days, his whole body is not right.

But Ning Weimin can't do it, he doesn't have the old man's ability to withstand high temperatures.

The high-temperature pool was too much like a cauldron to cook something.

Even if he only got one leg off, he couldn't hold on for half a minute, and he felt like he was going to burn his skin.

As for the pool with low water temperature, Ning Weimin also felt that it was too dirty, and neither dared nor wanted to stay there.

So every time two people went to take a bath, the old man was soaking in the pool alone, and Ning Weimin only took a shower.

After washing at most, sit by the pool and chat with the old man for a while.

Then he called for a bath, and he went outside to hang out on the bed and wait.

So the master and the apprentice never really took a bath together.

But this time is different.

When the master thinks the water is too cold, put hot water.

Ning Weimin thought it was too hot, so he could add cold water himself.

In the steaming heat, both of them can feel comfortable and feel a kind of extreme comfort.

So for a long time, none of them were willing to speak.

They closed their eyes, as if they had entered the realm of gods.
