Edo Traveler

Chapter 10: 2 do you want to wipe back

   The money soup with long banners has indeed opened, but there are no customers. It's not noon now, and others are busy with their livelihoods. How can Chuemon and Heizo be so idle, running to catch the soup.

   The boss knows Heizo and knows that this is the young master of the Kimoto Kinmaru family, so he can enter with a hello. Today, Japan is still a country full of Eastern human touch. It does not have the kind of indifference and distance that will be in the future. It is only natural for neighbors to "trouble" each other. Only by helping each other and working together can we live better.

   Like this kind of money soup opened in the town, the households in this town are often accounted for, some are closed in January, and some are closed in three times a year, such as the Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival and the end of the winter solstice. Anyway, they are doing business with regular customers. The business in Honmachi and Honmachi is honest to each other and maintains a simple social coterie.

   took out two pairs of clogs, gave two more cards, and the boss was still chatting. Is Chungemon a friend of Heizo? Where is it from? Is it local to Edo? What are you doing, do you have a decent livelihood?

   It would be offensive if it were modern, but nothing was wrong at this time. The old bridesmaid also ran out to hand Ping San a new cotton handkerchief, saying that Ping San had not come to take a bath for two days.

   After a rush, the two entered the Qiantang room, the old long benches, no single beds, large wooden cabinets on both sides of the wall. Find the wooden cabinet according to the number on the insert, and gently insert it, and the wooden cabinet lock will slowly pop open. It is mixed with the steam from the bathroom and has a slight musty smell of wood, which is not unpleasant. .

   took off the clothes quickly, and the money soup was still empty. Only their two customers were a little disappointed by the little cutie who had looked up before.

   Coming early!

  Although this money soup has also paid attention to the warmth of the building, there is no heating and air-conditioning after all, and standing in the changing room hall for a long time is still a bit cold. The two didn't communicate much, with a cotton handkerchief hanging upside down on their shoulders, humming an untuned little tune, and entered the soup pond.

Since   toyu is called touyu, it must be very hot. People like Chuemon Heizo who come in from outside in the severe cold weather will definitely not be able to accept it. Therefore, you need to sit on a small bench outside the pool and wash your body slowly with the hot water in the pool to let your body gradually adapt to the hot pool water.

   By the way, I also wash the dirt on my body, so that people who come from behind will not enter the pool and find muddy feet. It's not only hygiene, but also necessary, nothing unusual.

   stretched out his feet first, tried the water in the pool, it was really hot, but the bath was not just to make him feel warm. Some people like hot water in the bath, and the skin becomes red after soaking, but it is also sweet.

"Comfortable…"

  Tadaemon leaned against the pond, relaxed and sank into the water. In this winter, there is really nothing more comfortable than taking a bath. Especially in an era when entertainment was scarce in 1840, it was great to be able to take a bath.

   When the two were idle, they chatted with each other. The conversation may not be so hot, and it may not even be connected immediately. In the later generations, good brothers go out to make appointments, but they just sit in Starbucks and play with each other on their mobile phones. If it weren't for sports like basketball, even the iron buddies wouldn't be able to hug each other for twenty-four hours to brag about it.

   Listening to Ping Sanxu babbling about which store’s udon noodles he would like to eat, add a thick layer of fish noodles, cut a section of green onions, if there are a lot of soft bean sprouts, it will be delicious...

   What's missing!

   The walls of the huge soup pond are actually white and white, and apart from the large number of small water drops that condense, there is actually no patterned mural. To know the Japanese money soup in later generations, there must be a famous mural.

   Thirty-six sceneries of Mount Fuji!

  As the Fuji Mountain mural painting of Japan's national mountain, it is basically the standard of the money soup. Whether it is a film or television program or real life, without the money soup of the Fuji mountain mural, it is not a complete money soup!

   "Hey, hey, is there no Futake Mountain on the wall of this sentang?" Chuemon patted Heizo who was still talking about udon noodles.

   "Futake Mountain View?" Heizomasa thought about how to drink the noodle soup, and was suddenly shot by Chuemon, and asked him about Mount Fuji.

   "What is Fuyue Mountain? Huh?"

   "It's the Mount Fuji above Ukiyo-e, painted on the wall."

   "I have never seen it before." Ping San thought for a while and shook his head.

   "Are there any other soup stocks?" Chuemon was a little strange.

   You must know that there is even a special **** of Qiantang murals in later generations. In the documentary that Chuemon watched, the old man finally found a young girl to be his apprentice. It was so beautiful.

   This **** is so god, Japan likes to play this set. But to be able to be a god, it is necessary to worry about food and clothing, and to have a high social status and be respected.

   Maybe I can make money!

   "No, think about it. If you paint murals on the walls of Sentou, I am afraid that the murals will not be transformed in three days." Hei San and Chuemon monk were born and have seen murals in the temple.

   "Yes, UU reading www.uukanshu.com doesn't have that kind of colored paint." Chuemon suddenly remembered.

   Painting with oil-colored mineral pigments on this kind of lime wall, in terms of the high temperature and high humidity environment of the money soup, it may not really survive three days. It might even be painting while painting, and it won't be able to get on the wall at all. Originally, I was thinking about talking to the boss and making an idea for a takeout meal, but now it seems impossible.

   "Instead of thinking about this, it's better to think about waiting for the meeting's name to come out (でまえ) to eat." Heizo waved his hand.

   It’s very convenient to order take-out in Qiantang. At the moment, there are more than 6,000 large and small shops in Edo, and many shops are still booming in 9102 (I am afraid that a batch of them will be dumped this year). In addition, some people may have heard of Nissin’s instant noodles called "De Mae Yi Ding", which means taking out one serving, and it has a long history.

   "Also, just eat udon noodles, I can do it." Chungemon covered his face with a cotton towel, and continued to take a bath. He didn't ask for anything to eat.

   Heizo then got up, wiped it briefly, and called the boss outside. Ask the boss to help him order takeaway, and specify which udon noodles he wants. It is also book-entry consumption, and there is no need to pay cash. At the end of the month, you can go to someone's store to settle it yourself, or you can have a buddy from the store come and pick it up.

   As I listened, a young woman's voice suddenly appeared, and she apologized again and again, saying that she was late. This bath talks about whether it is late or not, and the water in a large pool can't run. Apart from Chuemon Gate, no one else was waiting in the pond.

   is really strange...

   was thinking, Heisan walked fast all the way, plunged into the pool abruptly, splashed a lot of water, and made Chuemon's hand towel wet. Chungemon took off the towel, but listened to the young woman's voice to lift the curtain.

   "Do you need to wipe your back?"
