Chapter 367 New Fashion
Shen Yiyao's medicated bath made Guo Baoquan's eyes shine.

That's not what he taught.

What he was thinking of was preparing plasters and decoctions, but not soaking in medicated baths.

After all, there are not many people who are willing to take a bath and love to be clean. Most people may not be able to wash once in ten days and a half months.

On a hot day, bathing will no longer be done in the kitchen with a fire on the stove, it’s all going to the Hetao.

The man sat directly in the water, and the woman hid behind the big rock on the other side of Wangbashi to wash.

It's the flood season, and no one is in the mood to take a bath. Every day, the body is wet, and the water supply becomes tense, which also makes every household very resistant to water.

But there is no doubt that the effect of directly soaking in the medicated bath is immediate.

Especially for this damp disease, it is most suitable for fumigation to be quickly excreted from the body, so that it can be resolved before it enters the bone, which is the best.

But it is not easy to take a medicine bath, and it is quite restricted in Daliu Village.

Guo Baoquan was troubled by this matter, but Shen Yiyao smiled: "This matter is easy to solve, wouldn't it be okay if they ask a carpenter to build a big bathtub and put it in the yard?"

Guo Baoquan thought so too, if someone needs it, let them take a big bath, he really doesn't need to worry about this matter.

When the water receded, Shen Yiyao couldn't wait to go to the town again, sent Wei Gang a ready-made medicine package, and took a batch of seeds from him to take back.

On the way back, she did not forget to order another batch of wood to take home.

In three to five days, the Guo family had another big bathtub.

Shen Yiyao made it after the antique imperial concubine's bathtub, with a small wooden stool inside, a footrest outside, a top cover, and a shelf, a complete set.

This craftsmanship surprised the Guo family enough, Aunt Guo walked around the big wooden barrel several times, with a rare look in her eyes.

Guo Baoquan also touched and touched it fondly.

The most satisfying thing about this bathtub is that there is a cork at the bottom of it. After taking a bath, you can just pull out the cork to release the water. Put it in the yard and use it in the sun in summer. It is so convenient!
Especially the cover, only the head is left outside, a plastic sheet or two towels are wrapped around it, and the footrest is also put in, so you can sit inside and steam the medicinal bath!

Soaking after steaming is the best.

The top cover is not a one-piece design, but three sections of the cover are spliced ​​together, and it is not necessary to fully uncover it when adding water.

The entire bathtub revealed Shen Yiyao's thoughtfulness, which made the Guo family full of praise.

With this big bathtub as a model, the three carpenters in Daliu Village can make a fortune by relying on gourds.

Guo's idea soon became a reality.

After the flood receded, he already had rheumatism and bone disease, and was in excruciating pain. He had to grit his teeth and seek medical treatment from Guo Baoquan.

The first person to come to the door was Village Chief Liu.

He is old, and the family is not short of money. His legs and feet are not good. Seeing that it is difficult to get up and walk, he is so old that he has to be supported by the eldest son and the Wang family boy. How can he do this?
Village head Liu wanted to let Guo Daming prescribe two plasters and drink two bowls of decoction.

No matter how bad it is, just rub another bottle of medicinal oil, and you can survive this winter no matter what.

But he was supported by his son and daughter-in-law into the courtyard of the Guo family, and he saw the brand new big wooden barrel head-on, and his eyes were straight at that moment.

"This... Guo Da understands? How did your family get the boss's wooden barrel? What is this for?"

Guo Baoquan was drying herbs in the yard, and Aunt Guo was sewing medicine bags with gauze in the house.

Hearing someone coming, Aunt Guo stopped, and when she came out, Village Chief Liu looked at the wooden ladder and exclaimed again: "Hey, this wall ladder is really well done, you can walk around without tearing down the wall, This is Hei Yaer's craft, right?"

Guo Baoquan put a dustpan of chamaejasma on the shelf, stood up and greeted him: "The village chief has made another mistake?"

His eyes fell on Village Chief Liu's legs, and his brows tightened.

Village Chief Liu sighed: "Isn't it? Now I'm shivering with pain after taking two steps, no, I'm still struggling when the water recedes."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Village Chief Liu also found out in surprise: "Hey? I said Guo Da understands? Are your legs and feet okay? Don't you have to hurt for two months in previous years?"

Immediately, his eyes lit up, and his voice was filled with excitement: "Did you find some new prescription?"

Guo Baoquan smiled, and pointed to the big wooden barrel: "Hey, that's the one, I made it for you. Ever since I got it, I smoked the medicated bath every day, and after only three days of smoking, my legs didn't hurt anymore."

Village head Liu paused as he was about to walk into the house, and looked over curiously.

Upon seeing this, Captain Liu planned to ask in detail: "This is taking a bath with medicinal soup? Is it better than taking medicine?"

Guo Baoquan shook his head: "Use boiled medicinal gas to fumigate first, then add water after fumigation."

"I feel tired just after soaking, and it's just not suitable for seeing the wind. I get under the covers and go to sleep. After waking up, my body feels light."

Guo Baoquan's words are still very trustworthy. Just a few words of explanation made the hearts of the Liu family and his son move.

Captain Liu helped his father to look beside the wooden barrel, and smelled the smell of medicine wafting out of it. The smell was not offensive, but it was like a cat's paw, scratching Village Chief Liu's itchy spot.

He also wanted to try.

But for such a private thing as a bathtub, it is absolutely impossible for him to borrow it.

Moreover, finding a carpenter to make the same big wooden barrel is just a matter of food, and it is not like seeing someone else's home and wanting to borrow a ready-made one.

On the same day, Village Chief Liu bought commonly used plasters and decoctions from Guo's house.

Not long after the three members of Liu's family went back, the three carpenters knocked on the door one after another, and studied carefully around the big wooden barrel for a long time before leaving.

Liu's custom-made bathtub is like the beginning of a trend.

The recent topics in Daliu Village ranged from floods to crops, and finally turned to bathtubs.

The bathtubs made by the three carpenters are different from those of the Guo family.

The old carpenter pursues durability and is particular about the materials used, and the size of the ones he made is also a bit smaller than that of the Guo family, in order to save water.

Carpenter Zhao followed the advice of his master. He pursued flashiness, so he made the bathtub even more exaggerated and bigger, without considering how much water would be needed to fill it.

Carpenter Zhou is quite satisfactory, but the wooden barrel he made has some small flaws and is not strong, so it needs to be fixed with a circle of leather outside.

He originally thought it would be better to use iron sheets, but that would increase the cost and it would not be worthwhile.

The leather is pretty good, but this wooden barrel is heavy, and it is not carefully placed in the wind and sun in the yard. I am afraid that it will leak after two years of use...

But it will be two years later, and he can have many reasons to shirk his responsibility by then, and he doesn't have to think about the long-term.

A bone disease, a fashion, the combined effect is greater than the expectation of 1+1.

It's just food, no one can afford a bathtub.

This bathtub really caught fire in Daliu Village.

At first, it was for the treatment of people, and they went to the carpenter to make a bathtub, but later it became ashamed that if they didn’t have one, they couldn’t afford it.

The three carpenters were very busy. The complaints against Shen Yiyao at the beginning, after taking over the big job this time and finding out that she really didn't intervene, they really broke up...
