Chapter 52 The story of the dyer and the barber-9

Ai Pi Sui turned back to the hotel, thinking of Ai Pi Gou treating him so cruelly and mercilessly, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became.He hid in the store until he recovered from his injuries, and then went out to find a bathhouse on the street to take a bath.He asked people along the way: "Brother, where is there a bathhouse for taking a bath?" "What is a bathhouse?" People asked him back without knowing what to say. "It's a house specially built for bathing. People go inside to wash off the dirt on their bodies and make their bodies clean and hygienic."

"Then you should go wash in the sea." "No! I'm going to the bathhouse." "We don't know any bathhouses. We have always bathed in the sea, even the king. He also has to bathe in the sea." Seeing that the locals didn't know what the bathhouse was, Aipi Sui thought about it, so he went to the palace to ask the king.He knelt before the king, kissed the ground, saluted the king, and said: "Your Majesty, I used to be a foreigner who worked in the bathhouse. I came here to take a bath, but there is not even a bathhouse in the city. How can there be no bathhouse in such a beautiful city?

Your Majesty, you must know that taking a bath is the most comfortable enjoyment in life! " "What the hell is a bathhouse?" the king asked him. After explaining it to the king, he added: "The city would not be complete without a bathhouse." "Listen to you!" The king agreed with Api Sui, and rewarded him with a gorgeous palace dress, a horse and two slaves, and provided him with a comfortable residence with four maidservants. , Two servants.The king respected him more than Epi Goo.He still called the architects and ordered them: "Go and see the place with him! Whatever place he likes, build him a bathhouse there."

Epi Sui and the architect inspected the city and selected a suitable place.According to his instructions, the architect quickly built a magnificent bathhouse, and according to his wishes, decorated the bathhouse with splendor and splendor.After the bathhouse was completed, he had an audience with the king, reported the situation, and said: "Everything is ready, but some equipment is missing." The king gave him ten thousand gold coins, and he bought what he needed, and arranged the bathhouse magnificently.Rows of crisp white bath towels hang on strings, waiting to be opened.At that time, all the people who passed by the bathhouse were surprised to praise the furnishings and colored paintings here.So it was passed on to ten or ten to a hundred, and people flocked to visit novel things they had never seen before.

Everyone asked him, "What is this?" "This is a bathhouse." Api Sui answered them, and put hot water in the bath, making people even more curious.The king sent him ten smart and capable young men. He taught them to rub their backs and massage, and told them: "From now on, we will massage our customers like this." When everything was ready, Aipi Sui lit the fire and sent people to the streets and alleys to advertise: "The Wang's bathhouse is open today, please come and take a bath!" People began to flock to the bathhouses, enjoying their backs and washing off in the hot tubs, before being massaged by servants.The bathhouse entertains everyone for free for the first three days.Customers come in and out, the traffic is busy, and the alley is empty.
