Edo Traveler

v1 Chapter 9: Ping 3 ask me to go to Qiantang

The affordable housing of                                                    and Chuemon gate.

   Not only did the gates have unsophisticated eaves, they even had side gates and cross-horse gates. In addition to the supporting concierge, there is also a stable. As a flag book with more than 200 shi, you must ride a horse when you go out. This is a status symbol. It was also an incidental military requirement when Tokugawa Ieyasu gave them salaries.

   The so-called swollen face to fill the fat man is like Ping San's home. As the banner of 650 Shizhixing, they actually raised two horses and a full twelve servants!

   There are two grooms, four entourages who follow his brother to carry his bag and knife, one in the house concierge, one hired worker who serves the garden, and two couples of servants. Except for the two couples, the others are temporary workers who are paid daily, but the wages are not high, as long as they take care of the meals every day.

   just stepped in the door, and the young master was long and the young master was short, so he never rested!

   This is probably the so-called Zhao people, Chuemon said quietly on the surface, but he still cursed the evil feudalism in his heart.

   Asked around, Heizo's mother and sister-in-law went shopping for groceries, not to mention the wife of the Qimoto family, but as a woman, if she doesn't manage the kitchen at home, she would be an unqualified wife in the eyes of the world.

   Normally, the two of them don’t go out to buy vegetables. Generally speaking, all streets have a fixed “snap sales”, that is, hawkers who carry two baskets of vegetables come and go. The people on this street basically sell vegetables to this vendor, acquaintances and acquaintances.

   But today it’s not the fishmonger from Nihonbashi where the general is sending fish. There may be a good show, so I think it’s a market, and I should check it out. At that time, it was not easy for people to eat meat. If you want to get protein, there is no more affordable fish than the relatively cheap fish.

   It was so easy to save Chuemon to say hello, so happy, Chuemon followed Heizo into the room. Dabieye, with more than 300 flat gardens, is really good. If there is such a big house in Azabu in later generations, I am afraid it is not an astronomical number. However, the current banner family on the left and right are of this size, which is not unusual.

   A twelve-fold large Xiangyang Japanese-style room is Pingsan's bedroom. There is no decoration, and the tatami mats also show the yellow color of the years. It’s just a little more pyrotechnic than Chuemon Gate. After all, it’s a big family, so it’s so lively.

   The two of them stopped and counted today's harvest. Chuemon actually made more than sixty taels, and Heizo made more than thirty taels. In fact, the Japanese-style two units are not fixed. After the recasting of Tianbao, the one-two gold bars weighed only 10 grams, and the gold content was only 50%. It sounded scary sixty taels of gold, it was just over a catty, and the third was only half a catty, which is not much.

   "Teach me your poems, and we will go back next year." Ping San counted the coins he wanted for the second time, with a little excitement.

   A small gold coin, of course, can make people shake their hearts!

   "Is it possible to do business back again?" Chuemon actually ordered a second time.

   "If you go to the Mid-Autumn Festival next year, or the New Year of August, there will always be monks who steal fishy." Ping San said happily. 【Note 1】

   "It's really amazing..."

   Yes, now the officials of this year understand sustainable development. Knowing that leeks can’t be cut just on one day, they need to be cut on a different day. To fight a surprise attack, it cannot be normalized. Anyway, there are tens of thousands of monks in Edo, and there will never be a shortage of flower monks who hit the muzzle of the muzzle.

   "Half of the money is mine, and half for you!" Heizo ordered it again, and pushed half of it to Chuemon.

   "They are all my own brothers, and what you receive is yours." Chuyou Weimon didn't expect Heizo to be so proud that he would even make money with himself.

   "If there were no poems like yours, I wouldn't be able to do so much." Ping San said openly.

   "What is that, what is that..."

  Tadaemon had only been wearing it all day and night, but he discovered that Heizo was really his own good brother, and that he was sincere to himself, so he must be sincere to others.

   Seeing Tademon Tademon always declined, he refused to take that dozen taels, and he gave up twice, and that was all. Maybe he was thinking about how to spend this money on Chuemon.

   "It's so cold, why don't we go to the money soup!" Hey San seemed to have thought of something after collecting the money.

   "Money soup?"

   is a bathhouse. It is difficult for ordinary people to take a bath in their own homes. Not only do they need to fetch water to make a fire, but they also need enough warm rooms. Instead of taking a cold bath at home, it is better to spend some money in the bathhouse outside. It's simple and easy, and it's also possible to brag and chat with the neighbours.

  The point is, the most important thing is that it is said that this era is a mixed bathing for men and women!

   Secretly poked his head somewhere, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com Chungemon is sixteen years old, if you say that you don’t raise your head, it’s fake, it’s not because your body is very honest. However, I heard about this mixed bathing for men and women, and I don't know if it is true or not. I still have to hold my head up with restlessness for the time being.

   "That's right, if I go now, it just happens to be the first soup." Ping San took out a small box with a lock.

   The term "toutang" is unfamiliar to many people, but it is still a familiar term for northern China where bathhouse culture is still more popular.

   Because most bathhouses are open after 10 noon, if you go again at 7 or 8 in the evening, there may be hundreds of people in the pool. There may not be a few who don’t like cleanliness. The water in the pool is not as refreshing as the morning. So many people like rushing soup, and Japanese actually like rushing soup.

There is an episode in the theatrical version of the cartoon "Crayon Shin-chan". The reason why the villain does not like to take a bath is that when he rushes to the soup, he finds that his favorite locker box has been stolen, so he is angry. He made up his mind not to take a bath forever.

   Then go. In the later generations, Chuemon is a person who takes a bath every day. Although it’s okay if he didn’t take a bath last night, why not take a bath now that there is a bath. A clean smell is better than a smell on your body.

   Heizao turned out his big pants. Both of them are people who are not used to the loincloth. They are bothersome, so it's better to have a big pants. As for the coat, there is no need to change it. The kapok robe is not easy to dry after washing in such a snowy day.

   Put all the money in the small box of Ping San, and the two young men walked towards Qiantang lightly.

   [Note 1]: The New Year of August is a special anniversary of the Tokugawa shogunate. It is the day when the first general Tokugawa Ieyasu entered Edo Castle. It has a special commemorative significance.
