She Only Cares About Cultivation-Chapter 866 - 800: Famine Era 41 (4000 Words)

Ye Huan gathered a basin of toiletries and a change of clothes, just about to go out, when Tong Zhan squatted in the yard, brushing and saying. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

"Wait for me, I’m coming too!"

"You need to go to a bathhouse for your quick battles? You could just wash in the yard to save two cents!"

Men taking a bath is like someone constantly urging them loudly, that speed, they could be done in ten minutes, there’s no Northern charm at all.

Unlike Northern women, when they bathe, they first stand there soaking for a while, then wash their hair, after washing, they steam for a bit, then come back to scrub and rinse, finally apply soap and shower gel, 揉洗 again, and only after all that they leisurely come out.

After coming out, they’re exhausted, then they drink some milk, eat some snacks, or have someone do cupping for them, anyway, if they don’t fuss for two or three hours, it feels unsatisfying.

If it’s a Korean-style sauna, it’s even more intense; she remembers in the past life, she would go to such saunas each winter, relax for a whole day before going home.

Unfortunately, in this era, forget about steam rooms, there are barely any showerheads; what’s worse is the women’s bathing place actually has a bath pool, just thinking about it feels uncomfortable.

Ye Huan glared at a certain someone, carrying the basin and leaving, leaving the man bewildered by the water pump.

So now, can he not even afford a two-cent bathhouse? What’s wrong with a quick battle bath? Quick battle baths need to be done every day, how dirty can they get?

These guys train a lot, crawling around in the mud all day, a bathhouse is a must, but they rarely bathe for more than half an hour.

Here Tong Zhan says he bathes every day, definitely not dirty, if Ye Huan heard him, she’d surely scoff disdainfully, that’s because you didn’t use a scrub towel.

The body’s normal metabolic process always results in dead skin and cuticles shedding, daily rinsing and daily scrubbing are different things.

In this era, there are no scrub towels, which is the thing Ye Huan finds most irritating.

So she specially found a coarser cloth, but the effect is average at best, not even as good as using her hands to scrub.

Because there are fewer women here, there’s no need to queue, when she arrived, there were only four or five, two or three soaking in the pool, another two at the showers.

One of the reasons Ye Huan likes this era is she doesn’t have to worry about getting fat, with so little oil in their diet, eating so little, naturally, they stay slim, right?

She always keeps up with exercising, especially planks and sit-ups, so she has an A4 waist and abs; the only regret is that her chest is too small, otherwise, with a curvy figure, how nice it would look?

As soon as she enters the bathhouse, everyone greets each other, everyone knows her here, thanks to Tong Zhan being the eldest.

As Second Uncle puts it, "I’m ranked where among the men, you’re ranked where among the women." It’s equally applicable here.

Even though she buys the best toiletries, such as Clam Oil, moisturizing cream, Lighthouse soap, soap, towel, toothbrush, toothpaste, shampoo, etc., their effects can only be considered average.

With the dry Northern weather, every time after a bath, she has to use cheaper Clam Oil to moisturize her legs, because it’s only five cents a box, while the moisturizing cream is ten cents, after comparing, the cream is just for the face.

However, she applies it secretly, doesn’t dare let people see, we’ve got to be low-key, right?

After finishing the bath, it’s almost nine o’clock, she’s the last one to leave the bathhouse. Just as she came out, the Old Lady starts cleaning and preparing to close, making her quite embarrassed, but thankfully, they’re supposed to finish at nine, otherwise, who knows how they’d gossip about her.

Back home, she immediately locks the main door, Tong Zhan is lying on the bed reading a newspaper, when he sees her return, he complains: "You’re so slow!"

"Our hospital is crowded, every time taking a bath feels like a battle, it’s more convenient here, fewer people, and the water is great."

Ye Huan puts down the basin and is about to go out and wash with her change of clothes, and Tong Zhan suddenly lifts the blanket.

"What are you doing, your hair isn’t dry yet, put it there, I’ll wash it for you, go towel dry your hair!"

Ye Huan turns around, staring at him: "Are you kidding me, underwear and all, how can you wash them?"

"Why can’t I wash them? Which part of your body haven’t I seen? Anyway, it’s dark, can you even see? Come on, get on the bed, use a towel and dry your hair well, I’ll wash it for you, guarantee it’s spotlessly clean, is that not okay?"

It’s not about washing clean or not; it’s clearly about being embarrassed, alright?

Seeing he’s serious, Ye Huan quickly places the basin at the hall entrance.
