Airport Meow

Chapter 17 Take a Bath
Huaguo has three major centers: the political center of the East China Sea, the economic center of Shangjing, and the bathing center of the Northeast.

Bathhouses, factories, and chimneys are several important products of the last century in Northeast China.But after the huge changes in the social structure, factories and chimneys are gradually declining. For many people in Northeast China, the bathhouse seems to be the best empathy.The bathhouse is not only a kind of entertainment, but also a kind of comfort.

Bei Haiyang has heard about the Northeast Bathhouse for a long time, but has not experienced it in person; this is not an event to go alone, it is best for a large family of men and women, or a few friends to eat and drink in it for a day.

Relatively speaking, skiing is more attractive to him.

Looking at his suspicious eyes, Wang Dapao said softly: "A friend asked me to go, I think you might be interested."

Bei Haiyang was even more strange. Wang Dapao knew his character, and he didn't like to be too warm with complete strangers for the first time, especially in this kind of naked confrontation, so there must be a special reason.

Sure enough, Wang Dapao made him make a decision, "Sun Li!"

The two called a taxi and rushed to the meeting place. Bei Haiyang whispered:
"I sneaked a look that day, but unfortunately I didn't see anything; do you have friendship with him?"

Wang Dapao showed an expression of reminiscence, "Same school, same major, same class, same dormitory, and later the same airline, what do you think?"

Bei Haiyang nodded, "Captain, you are so tight-lipped that you don't reveal anything! I thought that ordinary people like us would not be able to get in touch with such a character."

Wang Dapao smiled, "They are also ordinary people and have the right to live a normal life, but they are different from ordinary people in terms of spirit, and the things they come into contact with are different.

There are also friends, and you should relax too. You can't keep them in a specific area forever just because they are special, right?
You don't know him, so you feel mysterious; if you know him, it's just like that, just don't talk nonsense, you kid is tight-lipped, I can't be bothered to take him with someone else! "

Bei Haiyang agreed: "Don't worry, I'm not a person who likes to show off. From this point of view, I didn't suffer any injuries during the forced landing. It's really lucky! When we saw the fire, we thought there would be an accident."

Wang Dapao sighed, "In their line of business, luck can't follow him forever, so I came out to take a vacation, skiing and taking a bath here, just in time to know that I'm flying this route..."

Syracuse is relatively large among the second-tier cities. There is a distance from the airport to the urban area. When the taxi enters the urban area, everything becomes familiar. The most common types of businesses appear on both sides, except for restaurants and supermarkets. , Large and small bathhouses.

For outsiders, scrubbing is not necessary, but the bathhouses in the north are really worth experiencing. Southerners are envious of the heating in the north, but when you really get into the bathhouse in winter and stay for a day, you will feel that the heating is not enough. worth mentioning.

Brewing, steaming, rubbing, sleeping, eating, drinking, playing, scraping tea, pinching, picking out, wearing tent shoes, and walking, 18 links. When you arrive in the Northeast, life will not be ashamed once, and it is incomplete.

In Wang Dapao's description, taking a bath is also the most solemn entertainment in their daily life. Relatives visiting, business banquets, and classmate reunions can all be arranged in the bathing center.

Of course, the bathing center here is no longer what the public bathing pool was back then, but has completed several rounds of evolution. It is as luxurious as a five-star hotel. Children's paradise, some bathhouses can even make teppanyaki the number one in the city, and some may even have bookstores and lecture salons, which can not only wash away the dirt on the body, but also get spiritual baptism.

When bathing in the whole country, look at the Northeast, and when bathing in the Northeast, look at Syracuse, which is the Jerusalem of the bathing world.

The soup house is the place where they agreed to take a bath together. Needless to say, the grade must be one of the best in Syracuse.

The two walked into the hall, and a middle-aged man with an ordinary face who was about the same age as Wang Dapao greeted him. Wang Dapao's introduction was very simple,
"This is my little brother...this is your senior..."

Bei Haiyang nodded politely. He knew very well that he was just a messy eater and drinker. He was not the protagonist, so he only needed to wear ears here.

He thought so, and he did so!While being a competent listener, you can appreciate the bathing culture of Northeast China.

In fact, in the Northeast, bathing itself is not very expensive.Even if it is a high-end bathing center, the entrance ticket for a single bath will range from 45 yuan to 99 yuan.If you can refrain from enjoying other services, the ticket is all your expenses.In theory, you can stay in the bathing center all day, and it is said that someone will wash, eat, sleep, wake up and wash in it.

The two old buddies were basically talking about their work and family after the farewell, and some secrets were not involved. Bei Haiyang knew that it was not yet time, and he had to wait; fortunately, his patience has always been very good.

Undressed and walked into the hall, men of different sizes and sizes floated in the swimming pool, leaned on the lounge chairs, and walked in the aisle calmly.Everyone behaves calmly and is not surprised, but it is strange to wear clothes here.

Walking to the shower area, the shower area is a semi-open cubicle, and Wang Dapao specially reminded him, "Don't use shower gel, but you can use soap."

It took Bei Haiyang a long time to understand that, according to Wang Dapao, the shower gel is too lubricating, and the soap can increase friction, and all of these are for the purpose of scrubbing later to 'reduce dust'.

Some people say that it is not enough to talk about bathing in the Northeast without experiencing a rubbing into the soul; when can you take a bath?Sun Li explained that before taking a bath, you must soak it for a while, and it must be "soaked through"-this is a state where the skin is on the verge of blistering. "If the skin is red and hot, it is best to rub it yourself." Gray down. '

After a round of showering and bathing, I came to the scrub room, filled with hot and humid air, and there were about 20 scrub tables in it, all of which were full of male guests.The big brothers in red trousers and red rain boots held bath towels and circled around the bath tables one by one.

After hearing the call, Bei Haiyang lay down slowly.The bathing platform is only one person wide, and the water-filled cushion is soft, covered with a layer of plastic film.

They made an appointment for a red wine rub, and the eldest brother brought a plastic bottle full of red wine, and squeezed Bei Haiyang from head to toe.Putting down the bottle, without saying a word, he put on the bath towel and began to perform exercises on Bei Haiyang.The fine-grained hard brush rubbed back and forth on his skin, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as peeling.

Next, sprinkle red wine and rub mud. After rubbing one side, the eldest brother brought an iron basin filled with water, rinsed the 'ash' from the rubbing, and then patted it twice to indicate that it is time to turn over and rub the other side.Bei Haiyang turned around and repeated the cycle until both sides were completed.

The elder brother rubbed it very carefully, not letting go behind the ears, under the armpits, and between the fingers.Bei Haiyang doesn't know how to describe himself. He remembers his mother marinating fish and chicken wings at home. The general method is this: knead, turn, and beat.

Not every non-northeast person can endure such pain!
But Bei Haiyang didn't say a word!He knew that if he shouted out, under normal circumstances, this difference between the north and the south would only make the scrubbers more excited.
