Chapter 22 The Wonderful Point
"How is it? Isn't it nice here?"
Sitting on the bed outside and waiting, Kang Shude began to take off his shoes and asked Ning Weimin how he felt.
“Look at what you said, do you need to say this? It’s definitely better than going downstairs to wash in the big pool. If you hadn’t brought me here, I would never have imagined that there would be such a thing in Beijing. A comfortable place to take a bath.”
The old man was amused, but he deliberately teased his apprentice.
"Comfortable is comfortable, but the ticket price is also expensive. It's 50 cents per person, twice as much as the big pool. And there is a time limit, one ticket only lasts forty minutes. If you want to have a good time, you have to be willing to spend the money. Money.”
I didn’t expect that Ning Weimin really didn’t care.
"Let me tell you, no wonder you bought four tickets. But I still feel that the money is not wasted. How about I pay for the bath? Who would make me open my eyes to you..."< br>
As he said that, he sat down on the bed outside and started to change his shoes.
Soon, I expressed my heartfelt emotion again.
"Look, even the 'Quataban'er' here is different. It's a real pair. It's all the same in the big pool. What is this called? This is called one that doesn't spend money."
< br>"Hahaha..."
Not only did the old man laugh, but the waiter was also amused by his words.
"Is this your first time here? Then I have to say that you have come to the right place to take a shower today. I am not exaggerating, no matter who you are, you will have to be upstairs with us for the rest of your life. It’s not a loss until you take a bath.”
“Why? Because our bathing facilities in Tsinghua University are the best and most complete. The faucets were all imported from the "German Big Nose" decades ago. You can search all over the capital and you won't find a bathhouse as high-end as ours."
"How about the Capital Hotel? I heard that there is a gilded faucet there. But that is not a place for bathing after all. In terms of bathing, it is not as good as here. Besides, how much does it cost to stay there for a night? Isn't it? As for the other large baths, just Not to mention. Compared with us, they are all juniors. "
"So it depends on how expensive you are. Bathing in the whole city is the same. If you have limited financial conditions, you can take it off. The owner is willing to do whatever it takes. No matter where he goes to wash the pond, he will find it expensive. But if he is more particular about people and is willing to spend more to take a comfortable bath, then he will find it expensive to wash the pond here. It's worth the money."
"The old man who brought you here seems to be a knowledgeable and discerning person. How about buying four tickets at once?"
Speaking of this. , the waiter actually went to ask Kang Shude.
"Have you been to our place in the past? Are you an old man? In my impression, I seem to have seen you a few times..."
Is it true or not? Anyway, this guy is quite capable, loves to chat, and is good at flattering people.
This also attracted Kang Shude’s words.
"I have been here before, but you have never seen me. Because I was still young at that time. Back then, it cost two yuan to rent a single room like this, but it had to be silver dollars."
"I still remember that at that time, you had a telephone and a record player upstairs. The private bathroom was separated by a cream-painted wooden wall. It was not as cut-off as it is now. Brick walls. "
"Speaking of the wooden walls, they are the most convenient thing here because they are movable and can be pushed and pulled. If there are a lot of customers, the partition walls will not work. It will become a barrier to communicate with each other. You can push away these wooden walls.”
"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, they can all wash up in one room..."
< br>When Kang Shude said this, the waiter already heartily agreed.
"Yes, yes, you are too old, and you are so right. It was really like that in the past, and it was still like that when I came to be an apprentice. But then we changed it here. First, Because that kind of sliding door is old and broken and difficult to repair. Secondly, it’s also because that kind of bathing method is no longer recommended. No one comes here in groups to have a 'bathing party'..."
They said. It's quite casual, just like a normal person.
But it was different when Ning Weimin heard it, and he was quite surprised.
Because he really didn't expect that people in the past would have such business wisdom.
Isn’t the principle of this sliding door partition similar to the multi-functional hall of a star-rated hotel in the future?
Is this where the idea originally came from?
If so, it would really make people give it a thumbs up.
Think about it, as long as such a wall is set up, the usage rate of the same place will be increased, and there is no need to set up a fixed number of private rooms.
No matter how many customers come, adjustments can be made at any time according to the situation.
You can take a bath with as many people as you like, and you can chat as much as you want, and everyone has his or her own bathtub.
Whether from the perspective of the operator or the customer, it is cost-effective, convenient and hygienic.
But with such a simple and good method, how come no one knows how to use it in the future? It seems that people who take dry baths in the future are also the offspring of rats, and each litter is worse than the next.
…………
People these days only think of two things when doing things.
The first is to talk, and the second is to smoke.
Kang Shude had a good chat with the waiter.
Ning Weimin gave the master who was cleaning the pool and the waiter each a good cigarette - 30 cents per pack of Xiangshan.
To use the buzzword at this time, it is the success of "magnetization".
The most direct effect is that the registration time is not only delayed by ten minutes deliberately,
but also a pot of incense tablets is given to them for free.
Look, how appropriate this is.
Just like that, chatting and smoking.
Before you knew it, the tub had been scrubbed white and the hot water started to run.
So after the person cleaning the pool left the house, the waiter also went to make tea for Kang Shude and Ning Weimin.
The master and apprentice began to take off their clothes together, locked the cabinet, each took a towel, and went in to take a bath.
The water really flushed and was put away quickly.
Ning Weimin helped Kang Shude get into the tub first, and then he lay down in it.
At this time, the benefits of each soaking are even more obvious, because the water temperature can be controlled by oneself.
You know, the traditional bathhouses in Beijing pay attention to the three hot pools. The low temperature is about 30 degrees, and the hottest pool can reach over 60 degrees.
Kang Shude is an "old paoer" who is very addicted to bathing and is afraid of low temperatures.
As long as he takes a bath, he has to get into the hottest steaming pool.
Walk until you are sweating profusely and your whole body is red, so that your blood vessels can flow smoothly and your bones can relax.
This feeling was like drinking and smoking to him. He was addicted. If he didn't drink for a few days, he would feel bad all over.
But Ning Weimin can't do it. He doesn't have the old man's ability to withstand high temperatures.
For him, the high-temperature pool looked too much like a big pot for cooking.
Even if he only lowered one leg, he couldn't hold on for half a minute, and he felt as if his skin was about to be burned.
As for the pool with low water temperature, Ning Weimin also felt it was too dirty and neither dared nor wanted to stay in it.
So every time the two of them went to take a bath, the old man would soak in the pool alone, while Ning Weimin would only take a shower.
At most, after washing, sit by the pool and chat with the old man for a while.
Then he called the guy who gave him a bath, and he went outside to wait on the bed to dry himself.
So the master and apprentice have never really taken a bath together.
But this time it’s different.
When the master thinks the water is cold, he puts in hot water.
Ning Weimin feels too hot, so he can add cold water himself.
In the steaming heat, both of them can find their place and feel an ecstasy of extreme comfort.
So for a long time, none of them were willing to talk.
Everyone closed their eyes, as if they had entered the divine realm.
