At around nine o'clock in the morning, Luo Kuan, who had taken a break from work today and slept in a bed that was more beautiful than his second wife, came out of the Family Courtyard of the Water Conservancy Bureau carrying a net bag containing toiletries, and walked to the Liuliangsu Guest House not far from his home while humming a little tune. .
As early as two days ago, he had already heard from the neighbors that the guest house was about to open. He also knew that bathing there was three times cheaper than other places, and there were gifts three days before the opening.
For this reason, Luo Kuan, who was planning to go to the bathhouse to take a bath these days, waited at home for two days, planning to go there and take a good bath today.
His home was only two or three hundred meters away from the guest house. After walking for two or three minutes, he arrived in front of the small square building.
As a nearby resident, Luo Kuan would pass by the guest house all the time, and sometimes he would chat with the employees or master workers here when he had nothing to do. He already knew the situation inside, so he didn't ask anyone to inquire. Just walk to the small door next to the main door in a familiar way.
Go in through the two open wooden doors and go down the cement stairs to the bottom. As soon as you look up, you will see a counter. Behind the counter are two staff members, a man and a woman. There are door openings covered with curtains on the left and right sides. There is also a very eye-catching sign hanging at the entrance of each door. One says men's bath and the other says women's bath.
There is a staircase next to the main door that leads to the lounge on the second floor.
There were quite a lot of guests in the bathhouse at this time, and there were seven or eight people lined up in front of Luo Kuan. One of them also lived nearby. He chatted a few words with the person, and he was quickly joined in the queue.
He quickly took out fifty cents from his pocket and handed it over, saying with a smile: "If you are tired, take a bath and a scrub, and then give me a bed."
At this time, you go to the bathhouse to take a bath. If you want to go to the hall to rest, you have to spend money to rent a bed. Therefore, those who are not rich or stingy generally do not go to the hall to rest.
But as long as you go there, you usually have to stay for most of the day, otherwise you will feel that the money is wasted.
When the two employees behind the counter heard that he was about to open the bed, their eyes suddenly lit up, and they understood that this man should be a rich man, so the male employee introduced him enthusiastically: "Comrade, would you like to try our condoms?" Ticket? Fifty cents, you can take a bath, a scrub, a bed, a pedicure, and a movie. It’s a great deal! Can you save more than ten cents?”
"You can still watch movies?" Luo Kuan raised his eyebrows in surprise. This was the first time he had heard that movies could be shown in a bathhouse.
The female employee next to her immediately raised her chin proudly and said, "Of course you can watch it. There is a screening room in the lounge on the second floor. It is the only one for us in the whole city!"
"Hey, it's really fresh." Luo Kuan looked at the price list behind the two of them, and silently calculated the total price of the items the male employee just mentioned. He found that it was indeed more than a cent cheaper, and he immediately felt like taking advantage of it. I couldn't help but feel excited about the big deal. Finally, I gritted my teeth and said, "If it works, just give me a package of some kind."
"Okay."
The two of them immediately became happy when they heard this, knowing that they would get a penny commission from selling a package of tickets.
The female employee quickly took him a key with a small wooden sign engraved with it from a drawer on the side, and then gave him a pair of slippers and a sip of thinly sliced gochujang, and reminded him carefully. : "What do you want to do inside? Just show people the sign on the key."
"Oh, okay." Luo Kuan hung the key on the rope on his wrist, took the soap with his slippers, turned around and walked to the door of the men's bath area, opened the curtain and walked in.
Bypassing the screen in front of you, there is the dressing room, which is neatly lined with rows of conjoined lockers. A long wooden bench is placed between the cabinets for the guests. Used for sitting while changing clothes.
Luo Kuan lowered his head and glanced at the number hanging on the key on his wrist. He fumbled around a little and found his cabinet. He quickly took off his clothes and threw them into the cabinet, then walked into the bathroom naked.
The bathroom in the guest house is very spacious. There are three large pools in front of you when you enter, one is a cold pool, and the other two are hot pools with little difference in temperature.
On the left is the shower room with fifteen or sixteen nozzles, and on the right is the bathing area with three bamboo woven bathing beds.
The walls, pool, and floor of the entire bathroom are all covered with white tiles. The difference is that the walls and pool are covered with large tiles, while the floor is covered with small non-slip tiles, which look bright and bright.
There were quite a few people taking a shower inside at this time. At a glance, there were at least twenty people.
Luo Kuan first stepped on the pull-up board to the shower area and took a shower, then came to the pools.
As a bathhouse frequenter, he could tell at a glance which pool was the cold pool, so he skipped it and came to the hot pool in the middle. He reached out and scratched the water surface, pushing away a layer of shallow water floating inside. The shallow white mud immediately got into the pool with a grin on his face, leaving only his head outside. Then, regardless of whether he recognized him or not, he turned around and talked to a few old men taking a bath next to him.
"You guys look familiar."
"I also feel like I've seen you somewhere. Where does the young man live?"
"Family Home of the Water Conservancy Bureau."
"Hey, I remembered. My nephew lives in the same courtyard as you. His name is Diao Chun. We met when I went there last month."
"Yeah."
Once a relationship was established, there was a topic, and a few young and old started talking about it.
After chatting like this for more than an hour and soaking for more than an hour, Luo Kuan, whose fingertips were a little white and wrinkled, came out of the pool, went to the bathing area to take a bath, and then dragged After soaking for a long time, my body was a little tired and I went outside to put on some clothes. I came out of the men's bath area and followed the stairs to the second floor lounge.
The lounge is divided into three parts, half of which is a hotel room, the remaining half has more than 20 beds in one part, and the other part is a screening room with 30 seats.
After Luo Kuan looked around curiously, he asked the waiter to open a bed, and invited a pedicure master to come over. He lay down to rest while letting the master do the pedicure.
After the pedicure master finished trimming his feet, he was almost rested and just in time for the movie to start, so he ran to the screening room and watched a movie.
This show was about Visitors on the Iceberg, which lasted for more than a hundred minutes. After he finished watching it, he was thirsty and hungry after taking a big bath and consuming a lot of energy.
So I asked for a pot of tea, plus two steamed buns, and barely filled my stomach with the plain lion head that was given. Finally, I drank the tea, then lay on the bed and fell asleep with a satisfied look on my face. At the same time, I felt uneasy. I kept saying that the money was well spent.
