Chapter 101 The problem of bathing
"Miss, it's late at night, you should rest." The old housekeeper Foster was not worried about Perfectcott. Seeing that there was still light in her tent, he came to remind her Pay attention to rest.
As the steward of the Brandlis family, he has served three generations of Brandlis, and he is very familiar with the family's tendency to forget about food and sleep when they get busy.
The old baron was like this back then, and Perfectcott's father was also like this.
It’s just that the old baron spent most of his time thinking about how to fight the war, while Perfectcott’s father was thinking about alchemy.
As for the current Purficott? Foster just wants to say that the daughter is not very good like her father sometimes.
"I know, I'm going to rest." Purficott stood up, but what she didn't notice was that her long skirt knocked over the chair, causing her to stumble and almost knocking over the table. lantern.
With quick hands and eyes, Foster held down the lantern and at the same time held on to his young lady.
"I forgot to change my skirt. These gorgeous clothes don't seem suitable for outdoor activities." Purficott glanced at his skirt, shook his head and sighed.
Her skirt is already a simple style that she has adjusted herself. If it were the kind of skirt that normal Langton noble ladies often wear, she would have been lit up and turned into a big torch by now.
Speaking of which, she had heard in a noble salon before that a noble lady was burned alive because she knocked over a candlestick.
The gorgeous and complex structure of the aristocratic long skirt does look good when worn and can highlight the temperament of an aristocratic lady, but the exaggerated skirt is often very troublesome, and can even be said to be is dangerous.
Being stuck when crossing a door, suffocating because the waist is too tight, or even having broken ribs, or tripping over the hem of one's own skirt, etc. are already too common in Langton's aristocratic circle. That’s news.
As for the overturned candlestick setting fire to her skirt and burning her alive, I can only say that this was a very creative way to die.
So Purficott has always been uninterested in the so-called aristocratic clothes popular in Langton City. Most of her clothes come from her own design and tailoring, and the styles are more based on the clothes she wore before she traveled through time. world.
When she came to the North this time, Purficott also prepared clothes for herself that were easy to wear for outdoor activities. She had always worn the same clothes at several other exploration sites before.
Today, because it was the first day of camping, the camp was somewhat chaotic, and it was inconvenient for Purficott to change clothes, which led to the accident.
"So it's time for you, Miss, to rest." Foster persuaded Perfectcott, and at the same time advised her: "In addition, Miss, you should not leave the maid team on the White Jewel. , they can take better care of your daily life.”
In the previous exploration operation, Purficott took Befa and the maid together. After all, they have comparable abilities. The power of a formal knight can serve as a labor force and at the same time provide security for Purficott.
But this has also brought some problems, one of which is the fuel replenishment problem of the maid puppet.
The maid puppets still use steam power. Although Purficott has recently begun to improve their steam core, even so, they still cannot escape the need for fuel support.
Staying in the wild for a long time without replenishing fuel will only make the maid a burden.
Furthermore, Purficott also discovered that the mechanical logic instruction set did not seem to have action instructions in the wild environment, which made it somewhat inconvenient for the maids, including Befa, to move. So after some consideration, Purficott gave up the idea of carrying more fuel to ensure the operation of the maid puppets, and instead put them all on the White Jewel.
As for Purficott's safety issue, if she still has problems under the protection of a whole company of guards and a half-knight standard, she needs to bring a few more An occasional maid didn't help matters.
"The battery life of Befa and the others in the winter environment is a problem, and I will have to transform them later. We will talk about this later." Purficott shook her head. She felt tired and helpless, but there were some things But she had to deal with it.
So she just said to Foster: "Grandpa Afu, can you prepare some hot water for me? I need to change my clothes."
"Miss, do you need a bath? I'll ask someone to prepare it." Foster knew that his lady liked to be clean, so he prepared to ask someone to boil more hot water.
However, Purficott shook his head and rejected his kindness: "Don't bother me. Just prepare some hot water for me to wipe my body. The conditions in the field are limited, and bathing is too laborious. . ”
It is not easy to get hot water in outdoor conditions.
Although there is a stove in Purficott's tent that can boil water, the water is for drinking. If she really wants to take a bath, it will take a long time to boil the water with this stove alone to provide enough water for her to take a bath.
If Purficott wanted to take a bath, at least three or five people would have to boil water for her and prepare for more than an hour before she could barely take a bath.
This is the case in this era. Things that seemed commonplace and even commonplace in the world before she traveled are an unimaginable luxury in this era.
Seeing that Purficott didn't want to bother, Foster didn't insist. He just brought her hot water, prepared clean clothes, and then stood guard outside the tent.
Although no one actually peeped into Purficott's bath, in order to avoid something that no one wanted to see happen, Foster still needed to stay outside the tent to prevent anyone from accidentally breaking in.
Purficott also took off her long skirt and started wiping her body with a towel dipped in hot water.
Although she also hopes to take a hot bath comfortably, or even take a shower, but in this kind of temporary camping camp in the wild, being able to wipe the body with hot water is already a kind of Luxurious.
You must know that those guards, and even the accompanying knights, can only find a river to bathe in. If they want to take a hot bath in the wild, only Perficott can receive this kind of treatment. enjoy.
This also made Purficott re-examine his plan and found that he seemed to have forgotten the plan for such an important facility as a bathhouse.
For the original world before time travel, things like bathhouses have gradually disappeared with the changes of the times, or evolved into another form of existence.
Bathhouses where you just pay money to take a hot bath have faded out of people's sight, because you can simply take a bath at home.
"Sure enough, hot baths and hot soup are two important things that are indispensable for warming the body and mind!" Thinking of this, Purficott cleaned his body, put on clean clothes, and finally lay down On the camp bed, he fell into a deep sleep.
