August is still the storm season, and there are about three or two big storms every month, but the Zhang family's new house was completed on schedule.The main house in the front yard plus the back yard and the main house in the back yard are converted into a large house. There is a hall facing north into the main entrance, which can accommodate forty tables and chairs. And guys' lounges and stuff are on the east side.In this way, most people can eat in the room, and they don’t have to go out to serve the food. They will no longer suffer from wind and rain, and it will be clean and hygienic.The front yard has also been resurfaced and a new stable has been built.Only the bamboo house Qin Shucheng built for him remained unchanged, except that the roof was a little broken and some bamboo leaves were added.

The biggest sensation should be the westernmost toilet in the main house room.Zhang Qing designed it according to the bathroom in his previous life. There are toilets inside, which are divided into small spaces by wooden boards. Inside are flush squat toilets. This era is conservative, so there is no separate urinal.The outer room is the washroom, and there is a rectangular half-height pool against the wall. There are long and narrow sinks on the wall, and holes are dug on the top, and a large reservoir is made to receive spring water to wash hands and flush toilets.The sewer was dug to communicate the sewage to the wild bamboo forest far outside the back wall. There is no one there, and the sewage is fine.

A simple and practical squatting toilet was also designed, so that the porcelain kiln could be fired like this, and the porcelain firing craftsmen felt very novel.

On the day the house was completed, the neighbors flocked in, looking here and touching there, especially the new-style toilets, which never came back.Zhang Qing himself wrote a sign and hung it at the door: "Toilet".Everyone laughed, isn't it just a toilet!

Zhang's noodle shop opened again, and the courtyard rooms were filled with visitors, even the small bamboo hut was full of people, and people stood in the bathroom if there was no room in the room.Zhang Qing couldn't laugh or cry, he repeatedly explained that it was a latrine, but everyone didn't believe it, saying that you wrote "toilet", didn't you?If you can wash your hands, why can't you eat?Zhang Qing had no choice but to change the word "toilet" back, so that everyone would not eat inside.

He was in a hurry all day, and there was not enough manpower. Even Uncle Wang Li, Lao Qiu, Liu Qinghui and a few neighbors came to help, because it was so pitiful to see Brother Zhang Qing and the guys busy.The little girl Xiu'er also wanted to help, but Zhang Qing refused to let her. After all, Xiu'er was in her teens, and she was afraid of affecting her reputation.Xiu'er pouted unhappy, Xiaozhan coaxed her again and again, promising to bring her delicious food after closing time.

It was getting dark and there were still a few people who didn't leave, so Zhang Qing had no choice but to persuade him again and again, saying that when he came back the next day, he must open the door early, and those few people left.

Everyone helped to clean up the store, Zhang Qing asked them to eat, but they didn't eat, and said goodbye to leave, so Zhang Qing had to bring some leftover snacks for everyone.The two brothers ate something and closed the door, dragged their legs and feet back home, barely finished washing, lay on the bed and couldn't get up.Zhang Qing wanted to talk to Xiaozhan tonight, so he let him sleep on his bed.

Zhang Qing was lying on the inside, Xiaozhan was on the outside, and the two were resting and talking with their bodies spread out.Zhang Qing summed up today's situation and said: "Actually, the people who came here today are just to see the novelty, especially the bathroom. No one has seen it before. I'm afraid there will not be so many people in a while." Xiaozhan said: " I also looked at the novelty, to be honest, where did my brother know this kind of toilet? I have been with you for many years and have never seen it." Zhang Qing concealed: "Ah, I also read it from miscellaneous books." Xiaozhan said: "It seems that reading is really useful. I will read it when I have free time." The two fell asleep while talking.

In his sleep, Zhang Qing dreamed that Qin Shucheng put his arms around him and said: "Your brother is really knowledgeable, this toilet is so exquisite. Come on, let's do it once in the bathroom."

The next day, Zhang Qing and Xiaozhan got up early.After a night of sleep, I felt much better. I still invited everyone to help, and posted posters on the outside of the wall, and then recruited a few shop assistants.

Another busy day.After everyone dispersed, it was still dark.Zhang Qing sat in front of the cashier counter and counted the running water with Xiaozhan. There were ten taels of silver a day, and the net profit was at least six taels of silver.Xiaozhan smiled from ear to ear.Zhang Qing is also looking forward to it.Thinking of cultivating Xiaozhan, he will learn medical skills by himself, and become a doctor like Lao Qiu, treating diseases and saving lives.If Qin Shucheng never comes back, he can use this to fill the blank life in the future.

Thinking of Lao Qiu and Liu Qinghui, no one thought that these two people could get together.Lao Qiu originally regarded Liu Qinghui as a human pig, but who knew which muscle was wrongly put together and he had sex with him.Now Liu Qinghui is afraid that Lao Qiu will be like a mouse seeing a cat, but he has never gone out whoring. His body gradually becomes healthy, his complexion also improves, showing some beauty, and sometimes he smiles at Lao Qiu, which is quite charming.Lao Qiu actually felt sorry for him, but he was not angry.What two enemies!Zhang Qing came to a conclusion and stopped thinking about them.

But now a problem arises.There are occasional female customers among the diners. Although they are all more aggressive women from ordinary families, or some Xiaobiyu from rich families, it is still troublesome. Although women can go out in this world, there are men and women. It's not easy to push it out, just let it into the private room.It's just that what should the female customers do if they want water and fire convenience?Zhang Qing had no choice but to delay another three days to build a new small latrine in the largest private room on the farthest east, which can stand two people, connect the sewage pipe to the sewage pipe of the large bathroom, and it’s over. .Otherwise, he would be quarreled to death by those female customers.Although those girls in the boudoir do not speak, they are very powerful with their mothers, mothers-in-law and girls.

It should be said that there are not many women going out to eat out these days, the reason why Zhang's shop attracts female customers is because of Zhang Qing's beauty and this novel toilet.As soon as the female guests came, they would go into the private room with the bathroom, and if they were bold enough, they would directly ask the boss to wait on them, and Zhang Qing couldn't just push them away.Because these are just women, not those disciples who have coveted him and can hurt him.It's just that it's much harder for a woman to start a nympho than a man. If it's a man, Zhang Qing will directly use anesthetics to deal with them, but women can't.

First of all, although these women are bold enough to come here, after all, they can't do anything too much, and they are still somewhat reserved.Secondly, it's just that the nympho stares at him and talks to him a few more words.But even so, Zhang Qing couldn't bear it, because once he came in, he couldn't even think about going out. Why are those delicate girls talking so much, it made Zhang Qing dizzy.

The five men Zhang Qing recruited cost five renminbi a month, which is several times higher than other places.These guys are smart, diligent, and eloquent, which saved Zhang Qing a lot of worry.

Zhang's shop has a new facade and has become famous, so there are people from the upper class who come to eat occasionally.There are also some powerful street gangsters who come to the door.In the past, Master Chu severely punished a group of people, and they were very quiet for several years.This year, Master Chu was transferred to the capital, and the place gradually became unstable again, but it was not too much.

Just as Zhang Qing came out of the female guest's private room that day, he saw a big man sitting in the hall, with a yellow face, beard, and a big fat figure.Zhang Qing passed by him, he grabbed Zhang Qing's arm and began to feel around.Zhang Qing shook it vigorously in disgust, shaking off the big man's hand.The big man was furious and wanted to arrest Zhang Qing.Suddenly, a woman shouted from behind: "Stop!" The voice was clear but powerful.When everyone saw it, it was a tall and slender woman, wearing a short red dress, black riding boots, black cloak, holding a riding whip, wearing a woman's hair in a bun, without jewelry, very delicate.Zhang Qing was overjoyed when he saw it, but it was Miss Hong!The tall and thin man with black face behind him is Lin Qi!

Miss Hong walked up to the big man, raised her hand and gave a slap with a crisp sound, the big man was knocked down all of a sudden, his left cheek was bruised and swollen.The big man jumped up and rushed forward to beat Hong Qiu.Lin Qi turned around behind him at some point, grabbed his waistband with a claw in one hand, raised one hand lightly in mid-air, and walked out the door, and everyone suddenly followed.Lin Qi went outside the gate and threw the big man, only to hear a muffled plop, the big man fell to the ground, and immediately called out for his mother in pain.He got up in a panic, said in his mouth: "Just wait and see!" and ran away.Everyone roared with laughter.

Zhang Qing happily let Lin Qi and his wife into the private room, and the three sat down to talk.Seeing that Zhang Qing was in good spirits and the shop was booming again, Lin and his wife were relieved a little.While sipping tea, he told Zhang Qing that General Lu sent a boat out to sea again. He had found out that there was an archipelago thousands of miles away, which seemed to be inhabited far away, but he could not get close due to the storm. General Qin might be there. Tell Zhang Qing to relax a bit, and to report whenever there is news.Zhang Qing smiled and thanked them.Ms. Hong said again that she brought Hongfeng with her this time.The horse hadn't seen its owner for a long time, and it became ill because of longing for it. It didn't eat or drink.As soon as Zhang Qing heard this, he immediately asked where Hong Feng was, Lin Qi also got up and said that it was tied to the stable outside, and the three of them went to see the horse together.

Zhang Qing walked in front of Hongfeng, and the majestic red horse in the past was standing motionless with his head bowed and his ribs thinned.Seeing Zhang Qing walking in front of him, he immediately stretched out his head, rubbing and rubbing, Da Ma's tears were glistening.Zhang Qing hugged the horse's head, and the two pressed against each other tightly, not moving for a while.Lin Qi and his wife wanted to leave, so Zhang Qing sent them away first, then took Hongfeng back to the stable in his backyard, changed it to fodder and fresh water, brushed its body, and stayed with it for a while, looking at Hongfeng. Feng started to eat grass before going back to the shop.

After closing at night, before it was dark, Zhang Qing went to the back garden to burn another stick of incense, drew a stroke of orthographic characters, stayed there for a while, fed Hongfeng with water, and then went back to the bedroom.It was already September, and Zhang Qing was 19 years old.It was cloudy and rainy at night, Zhang Qing listened to the sound of the rain, tossed and turned, and when he closed his eyes, he saw Qin Shucheng walking towards him, holding the jade pendant hidden in front of his chest involuntarily, and fell asleep slowly after a long time.
