Chapter 422: Chapter 422: High-Tech Bathhouse Reappears in the Itinerant World Chapter 422: Chapter 422: High-Tech Bathhouse Reappears in the Itinerant World This two-story building had a total of nine rooms, and now, with three still unoccupied, it was just right for Old Uncle Qiu to have one room, Qiu Da one room, and Qiu Er and Qiu San to share one.
With this, the house was filled with people, and the empty piece of the heart was also filled.
Old Uncle Qiu finally fulfilled his promise to show Bai Junjun his expertise in simple country dishes.
Bai Junjun, of course, had no doubts about it.
In the courtyard, Xiao Shan and Bai Lingyu happily caught bugs to feed the mosquito-eating plant.
Everyone was amazed by this creature that resembled a sprout, with a big green head that opened and closed like a mouth to eat the insects.
The children said they found it at the bottom of the Luo River and had been raising it ever since.
Old Uncle Qiu knew about the Bai sisters’ interest in raising plants.
They carefully noticed a familiar green basket by the banana grove, inside of which the little Dawn Cedar stood straight, swaying in the wind.
It was the sa plant that Bai Sasa had carried on her back when they had fled their ho.
Old Uncle Qiu was truly moved to find even this had survived.
At that mont, Shopkeeper Yan of the Dongsheng Tavern watched the lively small courtyard from her window, her eyes filled with envy.
Watching their liveliness from here, it was as if she too had found hope.
Such miraculous ntal healing made her feel very comfortable.
“Shopkeeper Yan, here’s the waterlon soup you ordered, brewed to your specifications.”
At that mont, the shop assistant ca in with a pot of sweet waterlon soup.
After diluting the waterlon jam with water and adding a couple of ice cubes, it beca the most refreshing dessert of sumr.
The way to enjoy it was sothing Bai Junjun had taught.
Shopkeeper Yan held the crimson sweet soup, her mories enriched as she looked at it.
Her beautiful red lips curled up, and her youthful, skillful hands gently scooped up a spoonful; she didn’t eat it, though, only sprinkled it on the windowsill.
Then she softly said, “Ah Fei, try this.”
The evening breeze whisked by, quickly drying the drop of water.
Shopkeeper Yan started to drink the sweet soup, it was sweet and velvety, clearly a flavor that was sweet to the heart, but for so reason, there was a hint of bitterness and lancholy rising within her.
…
Of course, Bai Junjun was unaware of all this.
Her family was enjoying a rare reunion.
Old Uncle Qiu happily wielded the ladle, the children played in the courtyard, the Qiu brothers consulted Ah Dao about the grappling technique, and Bai Junjun and Li Wenli discussed gourt food while occasionally enjoying waterlon jam, their happiness boundless and joy imnse.
Xiao Chan didn’t return until very late.
After all, the County Magistrate was short of hands, and to count the Black Spider people, even the Registrar and the historiographer who was in charge of the prison were drafted to help compare portraits.
With more than a thousand corpses, it was a huge task to complete.
Although Xiao Chan’s role was rely to lead the way, as a guide, she still had to see it through to the end.
The counting was done, but the soldiers still couldn’t leave; they had to stand guard on the spot until the Registrar and the historiographer returned with the portraits for the County Magistrate to review and approve before the bodies could be burned and buried.
This was why she only got back now, and Bai Junjun and the others had already brought Old Uncle Qiu back ho.
Because it was inconvenient for many people to bathe, Bai Junjun thought up the idea of installing a shower facility.
She discussed with Li Wenli over the sweet soup about the solutions for the bathroom, and they eventually ca to a conclusion.
Installing an automatic boiler in the courtyard, plus connecting a pipe to the bathroom, would make it possible.
The shower equipnt from the tube-shaped building was already lying in the space; all they had to do was take it out and reuse it.
Li Wenli and Bai Junjun were very in tune with each other, exchanging just a glance and a silent nod, they already knew each other’s tasks.
