Chapter 25 Do You Think People Will Believe Your Nonsense?
To be reasonable, taking a shower is not Jiang Chanji's top priority right now.

He was very worried that he would faint from hunger in the steaming bathhouse when he took a bath, but if he didn't take a bath today, he would probably be scolded by the landlady, and if he smelled bad when school started tomorrow, it would leave a bad impression on the teachers and classmates. Impression, or take advantage of today's cheap to wash it.

Since he was going to take a shower, he didn't need to wash. He went downstairs directly after getting up.

The landlady was in the manager's room, sucking on fried rice noodles. Seeing him coming down, she waved him away who was drooling, "What are you looking at? Don't dawdle, go take a shower!"

Jiang Chanji swallowed his saliva, walked out of the apartment building, and walked to the public bathhouse at the entrance of the street.

Whether it is a dilapidated apartment or a public bathhouse at the intersection, it is in line with the positioning of the urban-rural fringe area.

Public bathhouses have been operating here for at least several decades, passed down from generation to generation, from father to son, and from mother-in-law to daughter-in-law.At first, the business of this bathhouse was quite prosperous, but in this era when most households have water heaters, it can only be a bleak business.

Even if the turnover goes from bad to worse, no matter how the operators of the bathhouse change, no one plans to sell or transfer the bathhouse, nor do they plan to redecorate the bathhouse—everyone is hoping to demolish it and get rich overnight.

At present, the main customers of this public bathhouse are the shabby residents in the rented apartment building. After all, there is no way to take a bath in the apartment room. There are rumors that the landlord’s aunt and the bathhouse operator have colluded to deliberately not install water heaters in the building, forcing everyone to go. Take a bath in the bathhouse, and then divide it into [-]-[-] points, no profit... It's really possible if you think about it carefully!

The shabby households are getting poorer one after the other. Those who take a bath once a week are considered rich, those who take a bath once a month are considered average, and there are some weird ones who take a bath once a year. Take your own bath and let others have no bath to wash.

Although Jiang Chanji didn't have any money, he usually took water from the toilet to wipe his body, otherwise he would not be able to find a job if he stinks, so his body wasn't too dirty.

He moved slowly to the street corner in energy-saving mode.

The public bathhouse is called the public bathhouse without even a formal name. It is said that this can avoid taxes, although Jiang Chanji has never seen the tax bureau come to this area to inspect taxes-the estimated taxes and fees collected are probably not enough for the travel expenses of a special trip .

Lifting up the blue curtain, he came to the counter.

Sitting behind the counter was a little girl, about ten years old, holding a mouse and playing minesweeper with the cash register computer.

Jiang Chanji glanced at the screen, his scalp was numb, and he was suffering from trysophobia—what level of minesweeping is this?The screen is full of thunder!
She glanced at Jiang Chanji out of the corner of her eye, and immediately moved back to the minefield, "5 yuan per person."

"Wait! The last time I came, it was 5 yuan. Isn't it half price today? Why is it still 5 yuan? Where is your adult? Call your adult over!"

Jiang Chanji said, do you think I'm easy to bully and raise prices?
Although he never came in to take a shower, he passed by almost every day, and he was familiar with the numbers on the price tag.

"The price has never changed. Men are 5 yuan, half price is 2 yuan and 5 yuan, women are 10 yuan, and half price is 5 yuan." The little girl said impatiently, her eyes were fixed on the screen, and she said six words without delay. Mantra: "Love to wash, don't wash!"

Uh……

Jiang Chanji had a hunch that this public bathhouse might be able to flourish and regain its glory in the hands of this little girl.

"Why are men cheap and women expensive?" He was still a little puzzled, men are worthless or what?

"Because women take a long time to bathe, use more water, and burn more gas." She replied coldly.

Justified and convincing.

"Then it wouldn't be so expensive! It's doubled!"

"Women also come with a free bottle of iced drink after taking a bath. Even if you don't want it, it won't be cheap for you."

Jiang Chanji was worried.

The landlord aunt lent him 5 yuan yesterday.

If washing as a woman, it can only be washed once.

If you wash it as a man, you can wash it twice, or wash it once and buy half a drawer of buns, which is much more affordable than drinks.

Anyone would choose the latter, right?

"Don't wash" is not an option, otherwise you will be scolded by the aunt when you go back.

He wanted to take a bath in the men's bathhouse, so that he could save 2 yuan and 5 yuan to buy steamed buns, but for some reason this little girl regarded him as a woman... It's hard to say it was a bad thing, but now this situation is a bit embarrassing.

So how do you prove that you are a man and then enter the men's bathhouse?

Take off your pants in public?
Jiang Chanji is not a pervert, such a shameful thing should never be done.

Besides, taking off his pants can't solve any problems, because his fighter jet is invisible, and he will be sent to prison for doing such a bad thing to a little girl, and he doesn't want to receive free meal tickets in prison.

"Okay then, I'll give you 5 yuan." He reluctantly put out five cents and put it on the counter. The five yuan changed hands before he warmed it up.

The little girl glanced at it, swiped the coin into the cash register drawer, and tossed a small packet of improvised bathing suits onto the counter.There is a small bag of shampoo and a small bag of shower gel in the set, as well as a small towel, which is a free bath trial set that is often distributed on the street.

Jiang Chanji picked up the suit and walked in...

"There's a man over there." The little girl didn't turn her head, and judged his position just by the slight reflection on the screen, "Are you illiterate or short-sighted? Are you trying to make a big news that will kill you?" My bathhouse was sealed off?"

Jiang Chanji: "..."

Habitually go wrong!

With the current body, I really can't go into the men's bathroom, otherwise the male bathers will probably call the police immediately... In addition, if they don't call the police, it will be even more troublesome...

Difficult... Do you want to go to the other side to take a bath?
What a shame!
What if it is found swollen?
"Do you want to wash it or not? Let me tell you, the money cannot be refunded after payment. You can wash it or not." The little girl rolled her eyes when she saw that he was still hesitating at the bathroom door.

"Is there... is there anyone in there?" Jiang Chanji pointed to the women's bathroom guiltily.

"Is there no one in the early morning, are you still shy when you grow up?" The little girl said contemptuously.

Jiang Chanji immediately relaxed when he heard that there was no one inside. If there was no one, the men's bathhouse would be no different from the other side.

Be urgent.

Be urgent.

Jiang Chanji shook his head, reached out to lift the bathroom curtain, and stepped into the bathroom.

This is a small step for him personally, but I always feel that this is also a big step on the road of no return...

Although it was only a step, it was a step of his own will into a field he had never touched.

The point is - your own will.

From now on, no matter how he explains, the people's police will not believe his nonsense...
