The group of rchants lined up, but as soon as they did, the commoners all ran away.
Oh ya? These commoners are quite good. They actually know they let us go first.
Indeed. The commoners in the kingdom needed us to make them go away.
The rchants originally didnt want to line up, but unfortunately for them, Buff was staring at them, and they didnt dare to be arrogant in soone elses territory. Besides, they werent nobles, just rchants. If they provoke the noble in this territory, they might not have to die with their connections, but they would still have to pay a large amount of money, which was sothing that they didnt want.
How could Buff not keep an eye on them? Not only did the rchants not know what to do, so of them even intended to spit, which wasnt sothing that he could tolerate.
Buff had spat just the previous day, but his grandson saw it and lectured him, saying that educated people should be able to control themselves and that Weya had taught them that spitting was unhygienic.
After being lectured by his grandson, Buff needed to lecture soone else and be an educated, self-controlling person.
Unfortunately for him, the rchants were all quick-witted. Before doing anything, they would glance around first to see if there were hints that they werent allowed to do certain things. They saw the sign saying that spitting on the ground was not allowed, so they swallowed their saliva. They even grinned at Buff. Buff froze because of his preconceived notion that the rchants would do sothing unacceptable.
After all, the citizens of West Sun City just spat whenever they wanted- they just restrained themselves slightly after being lectured by their children.
Trying to change peoples habits within a dozen days wasnt easy. That was why Liu Feng had started with the children first and planned to influence the adults later.
Ugh so stinky. Forget it, lets go, I dont have any appetite left to eat.
So stinky. They must not have bathed for at least a month, just like I did previously.
Yeah! I dont even know how we used to live was that.
The rchants heard those words constantly. This made them stunned. So these commoners left because they lost their appetites from how slly we are?
The rchants looked at the commoners walk away with their noses covered. The commoners that were closest to them would walk the fastest. It was as if they were human-shaped, stinky, rotten eggs.
Hey hey! Since when do commoners despise us?
Is it really that stinky? Why cant I sll it? Isnt it just not bathing for a month? There were tis when I went for three months without a bath.
Solo, who had also wanted to try the buns, heard the words and suddenly slled a bad stench. He had bathed four days ago because he had been soaked by the rain. In this way, he really had to thank the rain that happened four days ago.
Lord Father, they stink so much, just like Lord Father did previously, Gale said.
Ugh shut up! Solo beca angry from embarrassnt. He had no idea that the commoners here had such good noses. Or maybe they bathed every day?
Nah, no way. Who would waste ti on baths? Besides, didnt those witch healers always say that it was bad to bathe all the ti?
Solo could rember the ti when he had gone to see a famous witch healer. The witch healer had introduced himself as soone who had looked at the kings disease. He said that water would weaken the bodys protective layer, especially when taking hot baths. It would make people more relaxed and allow demons, devils, and diseases to enter the body through the mist.
As such, the more soone bathed, the more likely that they were going to get sick. As such, only not bathing would along soone to live a long and healthy life. And if the body had a thick layer of oil and dirt, then they could resist the attacks of demons, devils, and diseases!
Solo had thought that the explanation was quite reasonable. It was like knights being protected by their armor. He had even been worried about getting sick after bathing four days ago.
These types of magical theories were popular in this world. There were only a few girls that loved to be clean and would take baths every few days, and they even had to do it sneakily.
The rchants still had to stay in line, but the rchants all had embarrassed expressions. No one would want to be called stinky.
Hey hey! How much does the perfu in the capital cost? Ill go back and buy the last bottle.
I dont think you can afford it. I heard that they cost 12 gold coins right now and would be snatched away by the high nobles as soon as they appeared. We dont even have a chance.
Hiss that expensive? I wouldnt even be able to afford them even after saving up for a year.
Tory forcibly endured the stench coming from behind him. It was almost his turn, and he was unwilling to leave right now after having been in line for so long.
Tory had also not bathed in half a month, but it was still better than the rchants behind him that had not bathed in a few months. The worst part was that the fragrance of the buns was mixed with a stinky sll.
What do you want, custor? We have at buns, vegetable buns that are filled with cabbage, and stead buns the bun store clerk asked.
Five at buns, Tory hurriedly said.
Okay, that would be a total of two copper coins and five steel coins. The clerk quickly bagged five at buns, got three copper coins from Tory, and gave Tory five steel coins.
Tory took the at buns and ran away with his wife and son. He felt that the at buns would stink if he stayed any longer.
There hadnt been a problem before, but after the commoners had ntioned it, everything was stinky to him- even his own wife.
The bun store clerk looked at the rchant in front of him, blinked his eyes, and forced himself to not breathe too much. Custor, what do you need how many at buns?
The rchant was speechless. I heard that there were multiple buns just a few seconds ago when I was in line. So how co I can only buy at buns and dont get any other option?
Two at buns, the rchant said. He felt that the world was targeting him. Isnt it just not bathing for a few months? Thats how everyone is.
One copper coin! the clerk quickly bagged the buns and handed them to the rchant and took the copper coin.
Im not a beast. I kind of want to go find a place to take a bath, the rchant thought as he took the buns.
Um, custor, theres a public bathhouse on the other street. You can go and take a bath there, the clerk said out of kindness.
The rchant nodded silently, deciding to go take a bath.
Tory also heard that and decided to go and take a bath in the public bathhouse right after he visited Liu Feng.
This must be what makes West Sun City different!
Authors Notes:
(). Ive researched about bathing in the middle ages. It was a stinky era. It had a lot of titles, including Not Washing For Thousand Years. Readers that are interested can go and search it up. Cough cough Ill go and take a shower first and calm down.
Translators Notes:
Tsk. I was going to go to bed but my dad started clapping while running on the treadmill, and I knew that I wouldnt be able to fall asleep so I decided to stay awake and translate. I can finally go to sleep now.
