Super Chief

Chapter 705: Important ceremony?

As you move toward the center of the city, the higher-ups of the combined fleet discover the uniqueness of this city. There are a lot of buildings that they don't even know what they are doing. They only know the function of these buildings after inquiring, which also amazed the group of buns.

  

   For example, they see that on both sides of the main road, at a certain intersection with another side road, there will always be a building with a large area at intervals. The exterior of this kind of building is painted with white lime. It has two doors and a few windows. The most strange thing is that there is a blue mark and a door on the frame of the two doors of this kind of building. The blue mark on it is a little man, and the mark on the other door seems to be a little man in a skirt...

  

  Of course, these buns don’t know that this is a public toilet, because in this era, there is no such thing as a public toilet in Europe...

  

  Public toilets have appeared in China for a long time, but in major European cities and even capitals, there were no such buildings as public toilets even at the end of the eighteenth century.

  

   In fact, there were so-called public toilets in Europe during the ancient Roman era. The ancient Greeks, who had a natural beauty in those days, invented the beautifully decorated chamber pot, and they loved to take it with them during banquets and travels.

  

The ancient Romans were different. They paid attention to reality, so they invented the sewer, but not everyone can use the sewer. The use of sewer requires a permit, which is expensive, so there are only a few sanitary conveniences. Only wealthy households can own it, and ordinary Roman families can only use public toilets.

  

   But the sanitary equipment of this so-called public toilet is very poor. People have to endure the feces that flow back. This kind of public toilet is even inferior to China's dry toilets, so this kind of public toilet is not really a public toilet.

  

   This situation cannot be changed, so the Romans don't use public toilets much. When they are at home, they use a simple clay pot as a chamber pot, and then pour the excrement directly out the window.

  

For more than a thousand years, people didn’t feel that it was inappropriate to follow this move. Instead, they developed the habit of gentlemen walking on the left side of the ladies, because they could block the “dirty” that volleyed at any time. rain"……

  

  More often, people urinate and urinate on the street. It is a very common phenomenon to urinate in the streets of almost all European cities. Well, including capital cities such as London, Paris, Madrid and Rome at this time...

  

   This poor sanitation situation led to the outbreak of the Black Death in the Middle Ages. In just a few years, one third of the people in Europe died. Therefore, it was not until the end of the eighteenth century and the beginning of the nineteenth century that Europeans’ perceptions of toilets changed significantly. The excretion that was considered inevitable in the past became a veiled function, although it was overcrowded and smelly. The phenomenon continues unabated, but fortunately people finally learned to find a hiding place for the potty!

  

   Although the outbreak of the Industrial Revolution led to a rapid population increase, public toilets still did not appear at this time, and the streets and lanes of many European cities were still full of garbage and feces. However, the city map of some countries will now mark the location of the dung pile. This is the opportunity for the emergence of public toilets in the true sense...

  

   In short, if you haven't seen London or Paris in this era, you will never imagine how messy and messy these famous cities in this era are. It is no exaggeration to say that the slums of Ah San in later generations are much stronger than London or Paris in this era!

  

   So, when these buns saw this kind of public toilet specially prepared for ordinary people, and it was still so neat, these guys were all messed up.

  

  In their identities, they naturally use extremely luxurious private toilets, but here, these public toilets for ordinary people really opened their eyes. This also makes them feel the backwardness of their country more and more.

  

   The appearance of the city is not only tidy, but the city seems to be hosting some festivals. There are lights and colorful flags everywhere, and it looks very beautiful.

  

   Colonel Ferguson, who had lived in the Gaoshu tribe for several years, knew the habits of some tribes. He asked, "Boss, is this Green Valley Festival being celebrated here?"

  

Shi Xiong smiled and shook his head slightly, "Pat, the Green Valley Festival has passed, and now Shangjing is about to hold the most important ceremony in the entire tribal history, so the entire residents of Shangjing are taking action, and they have to do it for this. This important ceremony contributes one's own strength."

  

   Ferguson was taken aback, and then realized that today is the beginning of October, and the Green Valley Festival is usually held in late September. He wanted to continue to ask, but in the end he shook his head and didn't ask any more.

  

  The more you walk toward the center of the city, the more this festive atmosphere becomes stronger. You can even see Indians singing and dancing from time to time on the side of the road. Of course, more people are standing on the side of the road and cheering to the convoy. However, everyone knew that this kind of cheer was not directed at them. There was only one object of cheers from these people, and that was the great chieftain who opened the window of the carriage after entering the city and waved at the people constantly.

  

   Obviously, the prestige of this great chieftain is extremely high, and he is extremely popular among the people. This, they can clearly feel from the fanatical expressions on the faces of the people~lightnovelpub.net~ The convoy quickly arrived in a huge courtyard not far from the Bear Palace, and everyone got out of the car. I discovered that there are several buildings of different shapes in this huge courtyard, but everyone can see that the construction of this huge courtyard did not take long, and it may even be a few days ago. The construction is completed, because in some corners, they can even see some scattered construction waste that has not had time to clean up.

  

Qiao La Klulu smiled and said: "Welcome to the state guesthouse of our Yanhuang tribe. This state guesthouse is a place dedicated to receiving tribal guests. In the next few days, you will live here. I hope you will like it. "

  

   Under the guidance of the guide, everyone walked into the state guesthouse and was immediately taken over by the scenery inside.

  

   This huge courtyard is not as magnificent and magnificent as those European castles or palaces, nor is it so solemn. The entire courtyard is like an artificial park, filled with a natural atmosphere everywhere. To be precise, this huge courtyard is more like a royal garden in that mysterious country in the east.

  

Some buildings with different shapes are cleverly hidden in the gardens, which match the overall landscape of the gardens, which makes people feel very comfortable, and also brings them a kind of harmony that they have never felt before. They almost all at once. I like it here.

  

   After arranging these people, Shi Xiong summoned the top leaders currently in Shangjing, and they were going to report the preparations for the ceremony a few days later to the Chief, the Son of God...
