Chuan Shu Qi Leng: I own a department store

It’s expensive for a reason, the effect is really good.

I didn't expect that the bathhouse would be so generous and such an expensive three-piece set of toiletries would be placed here so openly.

Aren’t you afraid that someone will take it away?

Xu's mother also asked Xu Wanning this question later. Xu Wanning's answer was very simple. The three-piece toiletries set was fixed on the shelf and ordinary people could not take it away at all.

If someone really had such an idea and brought tools to pry open the shelf before taking a shower and then took the things away, Xu Wanning could only blame herself for her bad luck.

After all, there is no reason to guard against thieves for a thousand days. If someone really did this, it would be considered a loss for her bathhouse.

"A Ning just said that we should rinse under the shower for five or six minutes, then soak in the hot spring pool for ten to fifteen minutes, and then find someone to scrub our bodies. Is this the correct procedure?"

"Yes, Aning said this time is the most suitable. I'm almost done with my shower, so I'll go to the hot spring pool and feel it first."

The three sisters-in-law of the Xu family went to the hot spring pool together.

More than ten shower heads were turned on at the same time, causing the shower room to be filled with smoke. If you were not very close, it was actually difficult to see other people's bodies clearly.

Besides, they are all older and not as shy as young girls. In fact, they quickly accepted this kind of "frankness".

After soaking in the hot spring pool for more than ten minutes, Xu's mother let out a comfortable sigh.

"It's true that taking a bath in this warm water pool is very comfortable. It's much more comfortable than taking a bath in the bathhouse in the military compound."

"Of course I am. I am watching the time now, waiting to have a bath when the time comes. Ah Ning praised the bath so much, I can't wait to experience it."

When the time came, the three sisters-in-law went to the small room inside to take a bath.

Xu Wanning initially arranged five people to scrub people's backs. After a simple training, they were able to do the job properly.

It was the first time for Xu's mother and the other two to have a bath. When the bath towel came into contact with their skin, the rough feeling made them cry out in pain, but as it went deeper, the pain became more and more acceptable.

After scrubbing my body, I rinsed myself under the shower and felt a lot more relaxed.

There are also pastries and water in the rest area, all provided free of charge. If you are tired of taking a shower, you can come out and eat something and rest for a while.

If a few people come together, they can sit here and chat together, which feels really good.

After Xu's mother and the other two left, they couldn't help but give Xu Wanning a thumbs up.

"I have to say, you made the right decision to open this bathhouse. I haven't felt so comfortable in a long time."

"I spoke too loudly before, Aning, what's wrong with your little head? How could you come up with such a good idea?"

Xu Wanning chuckled and didn't respond.

This was not something she had thought of; she was just learning from the practices of her predecessors.

"It has just opened and there are still many details that are not standardized. I will add massage later, and the bathhouse will get better and better."

Regarding the price of the bathhouse, Xu Wanning set it at two yuan per person.

Children under five years old are not allowed in the bathhouse because the temperature has to be maintained, so it is quite stuffy inside. It is okay to stay there for a short while, but for a long time, even adults cannot stand it, let alone young children?

Therefore, in order to prevent children from being unable to tolerate this environment, I would rather not do this business.

Children between five and ten years old are charged half the adult price, which is only one dollar.

For those over ten years old, two yuan will be charged.

This price is neither expensive nor cheap.

After all, taking a shower in the company's bathhouse only costs one or two cents per person, so Xu Wanning's price directly increased tenfold.

But those who have come in and experienced it feel that it is well worth the money.

Not to mention the toiletries that cost dozens of dollars a set, the hot spring pool and bath scrubbing service, which are not available in other units' bathhouses, are enough to make the ticket worthwhile.

Unlimited pastries and water are also provided free of charge. In addition to the water at the right temperature, there are also sour plum soup and herbal tea to choose from, all of which are available in unlimited quantities.

Those with a bigger appetite may eat a little more, but no matter how much they eat, it will not be worth the two yuan bath ticket.

On the first day of trial operation, although there was a constant stream of people, Xu Wanning did not make a penny.

Because those who come are either her acquaintances or friends of her family, so it allows everyone to experience it. If they feel good, they can advertise for her in their respective circles of friends.

Within a week, Xu Wanning's newly opened bathhouse became famous in Beijing, and customers came in an endless stream almost every day.

Now the spring breeze of reform and opening up has blown across Beijing. People's lives are getting better and better, and they have some spare money in their hands. In addition to spending a little more on food, clothing and daily necessities, many people have also begun to pursue other things.

Is taking a bath in a bathhouse considered a pleasure?

Most people think not.

Unless one's family is too poor to afford a few cents to take a bath, or if one is really unhygienic and thinks that taking a bath or not does not matter much, everyone else thinks that taking a bath is an indispensable part of life.

The weather is cold in winter. Even if you don’t wash it every day or every week, you should at least wash it once a month, right?

A two-dollar bath ticket is just like ordering one less dish when you eat at a restaurant, and you can wash away all the dirt on your body and feel much more refreshed.

Of course, only a small number of people in Beijing are willing to spend money on taking a shower. Most families who have not escaped poverty are not willing to spend this money.

But Beijing has a large population base, so even if it is only a small part of the people, it is enough for Xu Wanning to make a fortune.

Many people did not understand at first why Xu Wanning would spend so much money to open a bathhouse. But after experiencing it firsthand, they couldn't help but admire Xu Wanning's intelligence.

After all, this idea is not something that most people would never think of.

At night, Xu Wanning sat at her desk and checked the accounts.

This was also her first time opening a bathhouse, and even though she swore that business wouldn't be too bad, she still had to look at the account books to know how it was going.

The total number of male and female guests per day is about fifty. Based on the bath ticket price of two yuan per person, the daily income is one hundred yuan.

It may sound like a lot at first, but this is gross profit.

This does not include the cost of burning coal every day, the cost of providing pastries, and the wages of employees.

The cost of coal per day is at least six dollars, and the cost of pastries is two dollars.

Although pastries and drinks are free, many people have no appetite after staying in the stuffy bathroom for such a long time. Eating one or two pieces is already the limit. In comparison, more people drink water.
