Accompany Da Vinci's Super God Day

"Yes—I heard from the alchemist next door." Heidi forcefully replied, "There is an alchemist living near the family I used to serve."

This answer is simply witty and perfect.

In the last few hundred years in Europe, even when she was born, people were obsessed with the existence of alchemists.

Even Newton, who discovered gravity, and many famous scientists could not escape the attraction of this mysterious subject in their later years.

Not only that, the royal court is also obsessed with the existence of alchemists, and even spend a lot of money to hire alchemists to study the mystery.

The existence of various legends such as alchemy, the fountain of youth, and the panacea once made the nobles go crazy.

When Da Vinci heard this answer, he was also surprised but convinced.

"I've also seen how he prepares potions." Heidi raised her eyebrows and said, "If you have oranges or lemons here, I can also make one for you."

Also known as lemon juice.

She observed that his mental state is not very good, and he has obviously been very particular about his diet. He may have been lacking in vitamin C and has some corresponding symptoms.

Da Vinci dubiously asked some other details, but Heidi blocked them all.

She has worked as a screenwriter, as a director, and acted in dozens of scripts, and she is quite familiar with these.

After a simple dinner, the two went to their own affairs.

Heidi borrowed the Bible in the living room, and began to make up all kinds of knowledge she had forgotten for many years.

She sat not too far from Da Vinci, and observed what he was doing for a while when she was tired.

Although the young man was a well-known painter in history, but for now, it seems that his mind is not on painting.

He is drawing general blueprints of aircraft, and he can also calculate various trajectories and figures, and then write long analysis.

On Da Vinci's right hand side, there is also a stack of drawings, which are also various engineering-related and medical-related manuscripts.

It appears to be a medical student studying engineering in a painting workshop.

Heidi read through the Bible as quickly as possible while it was still dark, and then went to make lemon juice and noodles for him.

A little bit of honey, mixed with lemon and water, put it in a pottery bottle, covered with several layers of cloth and tied with a rope, it should be sealed.

As for the noodles...

She is not very good at making Italian-style butterfly noodles, and she used to have a machine with a handle when making it at home.

The wheat here is quite tough. If you really use flour to make bread, you may not be able to chew it.

Heidi pondered for a while, still referring to the shape she saw during the day, and also learned to knead the dough before cutting and rolling it flat.

Until she finished washing and was about to go back to rest, the lights in the workroom were always on.

Da Vinci was concentrating on designing the kinetic energy device of the aircraft, and a bottle of sweet-scented potion was placed beside him.

"Try this." Heidi raised her eyebrows and smiled, "The alchemist's secret formula."

He turned his head sideways and saw that her two thin eyebrows were like crescent moons.

The light blue eyes like oriental glass are smiling, and the long hair that falls down is also elegant and chic.

Da Vinci instinctively observed her near-perfect proportions of facial features, and it took a while before he responded.

After Heidi left with a candle, he suddenly remembered something, turned out the drawing paper, and began to draw a draft for practice hastily.

In the days that followed, things began to gradually enter the right track.

Although Heidi was a guest from a foreign land, she was quite adaptable. Within a few days, she got to know each other well with the aunts around her, and even helped them dry their noodles.

The craftsmen on the nearby street also knew each other, and some good-tempered uncles would even take the initiative to praise her for being beautiful.

But occasionally when looking at the reflection in the water, looking at the long-lost young face, Heidi was still a little dazed.

I have grown older for decades, and now I am still not used to suddenly changing from an old lady back to a little girl.

My current self is Heidi Keithler.

Live in another time and space, bid farewell to almost all memories.

Nothing to do with MGM, nothing to do with Hollywood, no more endless harassment from the paparazzi.

She bought some tomatoes and olives, and on her way home she ran into the fat aunt who lived across the street.

"Speaking of which—why did you choose to help that person's house?" The older woman showed a fussy look, and deliberately lowered her voice, "Don't you know who he is?"

He is... a great artist?

The girl looked at her blankly, in the eyes of Aunt Sophia, she was like a lamb deceived by the devil.

"Kiesler, that painter, he is—he was reported and detained!"

Sophia emphasized her tone, leaned close to her ear and said seriously: "The anonymous letter said that he is a sodomite!"

If it weren't for his acquaintance with the in-laws of the Medici family, how could he be released on bail!

It's creepy just to think about it!

Heidi held back her smile, and nodded quite seriously: "I really don't know anything about it, thank you for reminding me."

"The Pope has said that sodomy is a deal with the devil!" Sophia took a step back and looked at her sympathetically: "You'd better change your job, so that you won't be able to go to heaven after you die."

"Maybe there is some misunderstanding?" Heidi calmed down patiently: "Thank you, I will pay attention."

No wonder he was eager to hire a maid to go back, it was also to avoid suspicion.

She looked back at the dome of the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, and walked back with a smile on her skirt.

No kidding, there are not enough gays in Florence.

The city's name is in her native language, 'Florenzer' is a slang term for homosexuality, a crime many celebrities have been accused of from ancient Greece to the Renaissance.

Who knows how many of these anonymous people's words are true or false?

If the accusation is true, it doesn't bother her much.

At least your own safety is indeed guaranteed a lot.

Heidi went back to the small yard with the sundries in her arms, and suddenly remembered the words she said the day she met Da Vinci.

"I'm not interested in women, I won't hurt you. 』

...Perhaps, he was really caught by the night watchman for some reason?

Da Vinci's life was poor and simple.

There was no meat or fish on their table, and brown bread with some vegetables was the norm.

Heidi worked hard to improve the lives of the two, and occasionally observed the gentleman's work.

Strictly speaking...basically doesn't work.

Although many women and nobles came to ask him for portraits, he usually didn't take much work, and the painting was extremely slow when he did.

Sometimes I have a hard time drawing up a draft, and I put things aside after a short time to study the structure of gears and firearms.

So it makes sense to be poor...

Living in this era, the only advantage is probably that you will not be discriminated against when taking a shower.

When she directed the filming of "The Love of Three Queens", the historical consultant also mentioned the worrying hygiene situation during the Napoleon period.

The French regard bathing as one of the causes of illness. The number of times they have bathed in a lifetime may be counted on one hand. In the end, they rely on perfume to cover up body odor.

But in the Renaissance period, at least taking a bath was not something to be ashamed of, and people would not be regarded as crazy if they found out.

It's just... Mr. Da Vinci doesn't seem to take a bath very often.

Heidi kept an eye out, but she didn't realize that he would do things like boil water and draw water at night.

Curiosity urged her again and again, but she still couldn't hold back, and found a time to ask about it.

"I forgot to tell you—" Da Vinci finally remembered something, and said seriously: "The public bathhouse is very close to here, and it takes only 10 minutes to walk there. Shall we go together tomorrow?"

Wait - public baths?

Heidi suddenly remembered that she was thinking of ways to make a fire and boil water every day, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

"Do you prefer a bathtub or a steam room?" Da Vinci put away the manuscripts on the table, and said casually, "After this painting is finished, we can go to a more advanced bathroom, where there are musicians playing the lyre."

Heidi breathed a long sigh of relief, and gratefully agreed.

However, it wasn't until she went out the next day that everything was completely exposed to her.

It is true that there are many people.

It is true that the sanitary conditions are good, and there is hot water for bathing.

"So...is it a shared bath for men and women?" She said with difficulty: "Does everyone not wear clothes inside?"

Da Vinci stepped in with half of his body, and was quite puzzled to see that she was still hiding outside.

"Any questions?"

The author has something to say: Heidi: Yes!ask!question! !I don't want to take a bath with you, okay! ! ! !

"Pleasure, Nudity, and Taboo: The Disappearance of Public Baths in the Renaissance"

Author: Wang Xiaomo, Academy of Fine Arts, Tsinghua University

Source: "Decoration" Magazine, Issue 2013, 11

From the Middle Ages to the end of the 15th century, although the ancient Roman-style large-scale public bath buildings had been dilapidated, people’s living habits of going to public baths had not changed, and they did not have much concern about nudity, and there was no taboo for men and women to bathe together.

In well-to-do families, it is not uncommon for the master to take a shower while the servants are on hand; it is not uncommon for men and women who are almost naked to be invited to take a bath together in the public bath. [3] In Figure 1, in addition to the architectural appearance of the public bathroom, the way it supplies steam and hot water, we can also see the mixed bathing men and women from the window, and the naked body wearing a white sheet at the bathroom door female.
