Taking a bath today, it was another Chinese New Year. Lin Linyou didn't want to cause any trouble, so he didn't care about Huang Mao and the others. He leaned comfortably on the edge of the pool. The warm bathing water made the pores all over his body relax and his whole body felt warm. Yes, comfortable!
He squinted his eyes like Huang Mao, and after a while, he opened them suddenly like Huang Mao - finally knowing why the two sentences Huang Mao and his companion said were so familiar! Isn't that the line that those Japanese said when Jackie Chan and Azu went to take a bath in "Shinjuku Incident"?
It seems that Huang Mao and the others have the same identity as him! He also came from time travel...
Originally, I couldn't be 100% sure, because I couldn't rule out the possibility that people from the Ming Dynasty made friends with the time travelers and learned their lines.
It's just that these two lines are not in non-verbal language, unless the time traveler often takes baths and often yells these two lines at others...
The most important thing is that the yellow hair on the other end is obviously dyed and has faded a bit.
How strange that he was not arrested as a monster for being immoral!
"Brother, are there many foreigners who come here to take a bath?" Lin Linyou asked Zhang Bi.
Zhang Ben rubbed his body with a pumice stone and said, "Who is Yi? That guy is not him at all."
Yang Fang asked: "Not a Yi? Who could that be? I thought they were a Yi!"
"Anyway, he doesn't look like a good person." Zhang Bi said.
It was a sensitive topic involving time travellers, and it was not easy to discuss it in depth in front of Yang Fang, so Lin Linyou diverted it: "This bathhouse is really nice, but I'm curious about how he boiled such a large pool of hot water, and how How do you keep the temperature constant?”
"I know this." Yang Fang said.
"You know all this?" Lin Linyou looked at Yang Fang, "Didn't you say you were also the first one back?"
Yang Fang said: "This is my first time here, but I have guarded the Dragon Wenchi in the palace before and watched them operate."
"Oh, how does it work?"
It turned out that next to the large bathing pool for people to bathe, there was also a smaller temperature-regulating pool dedicated to adjusting the water temperature, which was connected to the large bathing pool through pipes.
Before use, the operating procedure is roughly as follows: open the water door, wait until the large bath and the connected small thermostatic pool are filled with clean water, then close the water door;
At the same time, in a special fire room somewhere, the palace supervisors burned countless flying and vivid bronze cast dragons - each weighing dozens of kilograms - in the charcoal fire until they were red, and then carried them to Temper the edge of the pool and sink them one by one under the water. Suddenly, there seemed to be fire dragons dancing in flames at the bottom of the pool. After a while, the water in the small pool was almost boiling. At this time, the water door between the temperature-adjusting pool and the large bathing pool was opened, and hot water poured into the large pool. In the bath, a pool of clear water becomes as warm as spring.
"It's amazing." Lin Linyou couldn't help but sigh after hearing Yang Fang's description.
Yang Fang added: "The palace used cast dragons, but the ones used here must be copper fish."
"After all, it's written on the plaque outside that the copper fish warms the pond!" Lin Lin said, using dragons is an overstep and will be punished.
He couldn't help but look at Huang Mao again. Who is so bold and dares to tattoo a dragon on his body?
You must know that the Ming Dynasty adheres to filial piety and governs the world with filial piety. Elders can injure or even kill younger ones without punishment. The body's hair and skin are protected by parents and cannot be damaged in the slightest, so tattoos are also expressly prohibited by Zhu Yuanzhang.
Although more than 40 years have passed, the ban on tattoos has been secretly relaxed, and the emphasis is on people not to be punished by officials, but it is not as popular as it was during the Tang and Song Dynasties.
When it comes to tattoos, people only get tattoos of birds, animals, fish and insects. Fans of famous poets in the Tang Dynasty also had their entire backs tattooed with poems.
Third brother Yang Xiaoqi only has a bird tattooed on his body.
"Third brother, why do you want to tattoo a bird on your body?" Lin Linyou asked Yang Fang.
Yang Fang said: "Second brother, we all said this is an eagle."
"Then, why do you have an eagle tattooed on your body?" Fortunately, the physical examination for entry into the system was not so strict at that time, otherwise your little flag would not be appropriate.
Yang Fang shook his head helplessly and smiled: "Well, I was young and ignorant at that time. I looked pretty, so I got the tattoo."
Is it beautiful? Lin Linyou looked at the eagle behind Yang Fang, and then at the tattoos on Huang Mao's and others' chests. He really couldn't appreciate it. He had thought about getting a tattoo before, but he had never thought about what to get. After a few years, he no longer had the desire to get a tattoo...
Huang Mao saw Lin Linyou looking at him several times and felt provoked. He shouted loudly: "What are you looking at?!" He slapped the water surface and splashed a spray of water on Lin Linyou and the three of them.
Yang Da was furious and was about to step forward to pay attention, but Lin Linyou stretched out his hand to stop him: "Forget it, third brother, there is no need to be as knowledgeable as them."
A time traveler! Of course, it’s up to us time-travelers to sort it out.
Yang Fang glared at Huang Mao and others angrily, and said: "This guy has a dragon tattoo and a tiger thorn, and he is disrespectful! He should be sent to prison for a good trial!"
"Of course, of course we have to go to trial." Lin Lin said, "We'll talk about it after we've finished. We'll talk about it after we've finished."
Zhang Bi said: "Yes, third brother, don't let a few minions disturb Yaxing. If you drag them to prison now, can we take a bath?"
"Are you here?" Lin Linyou looked at Zhang Bi and smiled, "I think Huang Mao and the others must regard themselves as the protagonists now!"
Zhang Bi also smiled: "Yes! When I first came here, I also felt that I was the main player! Haha, after so many years, no adventure has happened to me."
"You haven't had any adventures yet? You were saved by the Taoist Priest, and he taught you how to practice Qi." Lin Lin said, "We can also say that we are all people who have had adventures."
Zhang Bi put a wet towel on his face: "How can there be so many protagonists?"
"Everyone is his own protagonist!" Lin Lin said.
Yang Fang was puzzled: "What kind of leading role and supporting role? You want to sing a big show?"
"Yes! My eldest brother and I are preparing to sing a big show!" Lin Linyou looked at Huang Mao and the others opposite.
Huang Mao didn't notice Lin Lin's eyes at this time, and stretched out his hand to ask the boy beside him to warm a pot of wind-relieving wine.
The boy agreed, and not long after, he came over with a wine pot and cup. He passed by Lin Linyou and was stopped by him.
Lin Linyou: "Put the wine here."
The boy looked embarrassed: "But it was those gentlemen who called first."
"If I tell you to put it down, just put it down!" Lin Linyou raised his voice.
"Those gentlemen can't afford to offend you!" The boy glanced at Huang Mao, who was glaring angrily in aggrieved and frightened manner. He lowered his body and whispered to Lin Lin, "Especially the one with yellow hair." Master..."
"Oh? Is it a big deal?"
"Have you ever heard of Mr. Jiang?" the boy asked, "He is a very famous figure in our capital. His family is involved in wineries, inns, brothels and gambling houses..."
"Jiang Ayan, right?" Lin Linyou's heart moved.
The young man said: "Since you know this guest, you'd better not mess with that man. He is Mr. Jiang's disciple... I'll warm up a pot for you later."
"Ah - then I am really blind, thanks to your reminder." Lin Linyou pretended to be scared, and then raised his voice: "Let's do this! The wine of Mr. Huang Mao opposite, Please!”
"Hey!" As if he was receiving an amnesty, the boy quickly picked up the tray and walked towards Huang Mao and the others. He squatted down and placed the tray on the edge of the pool. He nodded and said, "The guest officer opposite said that he would like to buy this wine." ”
"Who the hell wants him to invite me? How many taels of silver do I need?" Huang Mao glanced at Lin Linyou, with a mixture of pride and disdain on his face.
Lin Linyou: Don’t worry, I’ll treat you to a nice meal later.
