"Change them all?!" This time, it was Mrs. Yao's turn to be surprised.
She was just asking for some benefits for her servants, but had never thought about starting a major construction project. She became anxious and said, "I'm afraid it won't work if we all change it, right? Old lady, this new style hut covers a large area, so we need to change it."
That will take up a lot of land.”
Gu Qingling smiled and said, "It depends on how you look at it. The type of hut currently being built in the academy is a 'public hut', which is the type that several servants can use together. The one our master uses, naturally cannot be built that big."
…”
She moved a modern bathroom with a bathroom and told Mrs. Yao that they could build it.
Anyway, they now have a room specially used for bathing in each yard, so they can just use that room to modify it.
Gu Qingling took the pen and ink and started drawing it in front of Mrs. Yao, telling her what it should look like.
"This place is a squatting pit. If you feel too tired from squatting, you can change it to a toilet, which is the kind where you can sit."
"But I think we should not use sitting ones now. The technology is not up to par. It will be cleaner to use squatting ones. When the technology of toilets matures, we will change to toilets."
"This is the shower, and this is the tub. If you like to be showered, you can take a shower. If you like to take a bath, you can take a bath. It's right next to the squatting pit, so the water can flow directly into the squatting pit, which is equivalent to
Clean the hut."
"The terrain here is lower. Make a row... This will prevent the water from flowing out during bathing and separate the dry and wet areas. Outside, make some cabinets to put some things you want, such as perfume, scented pills, and soap.
, towel, blanket..."
"By the way, if you want to arrange a massage maid, you can also install a small bed here and close the screen or curtain, so you don't have to worry about being exposed."
…
Under Gu Qingling's arrangement, a small room was arranged neatly, without any extra space.
When taking a shower, you need to estimate the amount of water you will use in advance to avoid getting into trouble when half of the water is gone.
Hearing Gu Qingling say that the water was gone halfway through the wash, and she was covered in foam and looking for someone to heat the water. Mrs. Yao imagined the scene and almost laughed.
Gu Qingling tapped her nose in the air and said with a smile: "So, it is better to have more water than less water. It is best to set up the place for adding water outside. Send someone to guard it when bathing, so it can be done
Avoid this problem."
In addition to this, Gu Qingling even mentioned a "home-style hot spring".
The kind of hot spring she was talking about was not the kind of hot spring you go outside to soak in. Instead, you built a house where you could take a hot bath. There was a "big pot" for bathing on the top, and a place where you could add firewood below.
It doesn't matter how long you want to soak, as long as someone outside adds firewood in time.
"Of course, the cost is a bit high. Except when you want to take a hot bath, you can't use it at ordinary times, so it's best to only build one or two and share them with the whole family..."
"Make a timetable. If there is hot water available for bathing at any time, whoever wants to go can inform the hot spring room to prepare it and go there then. If someone else wants to go, they can register at this time and they can bathe."
"You can also separate men and women just like the public latrines, so that men can have sex with men, and women can have sex with women. As long as there is nothing wrong with your health, it doesn't matter even if several people have sex together."
…
Mrs. Yao immediately imagined the scene where she and her baby daughter Yao Anxin were bathing in a hot spring together, and her face was ashamed and red.
When she was a child, she would give her daughter a bath with her own hands, but as her daughter grew up, Mrs. Yao had not seen her daughter without clothes for a long time.
Forget it, if we want to take a hot spring bath together, doesn't it mean that mother and daughter have to "be honest with each other"?
"What? Are you thinking of the boss?" When Gu Qingling saw her like this, the smile on his face became more playful and said, "It's not impossible, but you have to stagger people and don't conflict with them."
"Old lady..." Mrs. Yao was so embarrassed that her face turned even redder. She quickly shouted in embarrassment and explained, "I didn't think about it, I just missed Sister Xin."
"Really? It's Sister Xin? I thought she was the boss..." Gu Qingling didn't believe it, and said with a smile, "If you like it, you can just change your bathroom to this one. In your own room
Here, it would be more convenient for you and your wife to have some fun..."
"Old lady..." Mrs. Yao became anxious and quickly interrupted Gu Qingling, saying that they could forget about the big house. They didn't need to build this kind of "home trial hot spring", just the one in front.
Gu Qingling was really afraid that if she continued to joke around, someone would fall out with her, so she could only stop as soon as it was good and helped Mrs. Yao estimate the cost.
As for the cost, it was not as high as Mrs. Yao thought. After all, Gu Qingling had already found a way to break through one of the key technologies, which was "cement".
As long as there is "cement", not only can the latrine be built very solidly, but it is also very convenient to use. Especially when tiling the latrine, it is like applying paste, pouring in cement, and it can be made.
A good squat mold was put in.
"The most important thing about the squatting pit is that the pit must be made of ceramic tiles. Anything else will not work, not even cement... and it must be white. You can see clearly at a glance whether it is clean or not. If you change it to something else, it will be very difficult.
It’s difficult to check the hygiene conditions.”
Mrs. Yao nodded, indicating that she understood, but Dao Zi did not expect that the old lady actually wanted to give her the "cement technology"?!
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Yao became anxious and quickly refused: "How can this be done? Old lady, this is your formula, I...I can't take it."
"Is there anything I can do? Didn't the second daughter-in-law also take one? It's only fair that you take one too, just one for each of us." Gu Qingling forcefully handed the cement formula to Mrs. Yao and reminded her that this
Things are no better than others, so don’t keep them in your own hands.
Under appropriate circumstances, her natal family can be dedicated to the present day.
Mrs. Yao's eyes widened instantly: "Let my mother-in-law donate it?! This... I can't accept this anymore. Old lady, you can give it to the uncle or the second master and let them donate it."
She immediately thought of the smallpox incident. She didn't dare to take such a big credit alone.
Moreover, Mrs. Yao was not sure whether the old lady said this just to "test" her.
"The Yao family doesn't have any foundation, so if you want to offer any recipe, it's a big deal. Your natal family has always been a scholarly family. It's completely said that the recipe was passed down from your natal family's ancestors, but everyone didn't expect that it was hidden in the book.
"It happened that the book was a dowry given to you by your mother's family. You accidentally dug it out and found that it was of great use. You didn't dare to take the credit alone..." Gu Qingling told Mrs. Yao that some things were too much, especially Yao's.
The family has been in the limelight now.
If the foundation of the Yao family is still there, with the backing of the Marquis and the Earl, then it doesn't matter. If you offer more recipes, you can offer more, and no one will be able to keep an eye on their family.
But things are different now. Now the Yao family is said to be "moving back to their ancestral home". In fact, anyone with a discerning eye knows that the Yao family is in decline and has to return to its ancestral home to "take refuge".
Under such circumstances, the Yao family really doesn't get much limelight.
