After devouring the meal, everyone looked like a starving ghost reincarnated.
Liu Mingqi looked at Yang Dalang, Yang Ergou and the others and smiled. He recalled in his mind two years ago, when he was similar to them. At that time, hunger was a common thing. He was busy until the end of the year and worked hard.
Farming is hard, but even a full meal is a luxury.
Thinking about it, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Life has changed so fast. In the blink of an eye, it has only been two years, and the once delicious food feels extremely ordinary when it comes to his mouth.
"All this is thanks to Mr. Liu. Without Mr. Liu, there would be no happy life today."
Liu Mingqi thought from the bottom of his heart, his name was Liu Erdan two years ago, and now he is called Liu Mingqi. Just from the change in his name, he knew that he had already undergone earth-shaking changes.
"Are you all full?"
Liu Mingqi didn't eat much, and he ate very slowly. After Liu Mingqi finished eating the food on his plate, he looked at Yang Dalang, Yang Ergou, Deng Miao, Wang Laosan and others, and saw that all of them had oily mouths and were eating.
His belly was so round that he couldn't eat any more, but when he saw the meat in the bowl, he continued to roll his eyes and hold on.
"I'm full~"
Yang Dalang put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hands, feeling completely satisfied. This meal was very satisfying. It was filling, with fish and meat, and the taste was quite good. It was much better than the banquets he had eaten before.
"I'm full too~"
"Uh~"
Yang Ergou reluctantly put down the bowl and chopsticks. He felt that he could still eat a few more pieces of fat meat. Just after he finished speaking, he couldn't help but burp. He was really full.
"I'm done eating~"
Wang Laosan, Deng Miao and others also put down their bowls and chopsticks, nodded and said.
"When you've finished eating, come with me with your bowls and chopsticks~"
Liu Mingqi nodded, picked up his bowls and chopsticks and walked to the bowl and chopsticks collection point, followed by others.
"We will have to queue up to eat in the future. After finishing our meal, these bowls and chopsticks also need to be placed at the bowl and chopstick collection point, so that the bowls and chopsticks can be cleaned and disinfected in the canteen."
Liu Mingqi put his plate into an iron bucket and his chopsticks into another iron bucket. Others listened and followed Lu and put their plates and chopsticks away one after another.
"After dinner, let's take a walk together. I'll take you to familiarize yourself with the environment here."
When Liu Mingqi saw that everyone in his team had put away their dishes and chopsticks, he also started walking around here with his team.
The first place we came to was naturally a living place, a tent that could just accommodate eight people.
"This is where the eight of us will live in the future. In the short term, we all need to live in this tent. Only after the house is built can we move into the house."
"So you all have to remember this tent, remember the numbers on it, and remember the location of the tent, so you don't find your place to live."
"Everyone, come inside the tent. There are eight beds in the tent, one for each person. Remember to take down the mosquito net when you sleep at night, otherwise the mosquitoes will bite you to death."
"In addition, if you see these things on the bed, there are two sets of clothes for everyone to change. Everyone will wear the same clothes when working in the future. You can try it out first. If the size is not suitable, you can recruit others.
Slow down."
"The same goes for shoes. If they don't fit, hire someone to change them."
"In addition, this thing is called soap. It is for you to take a bath. When you take a bath, run the water through it first, and then use this soap to apply it all over your body. It can remove the odor and greasiness."
Liu Mingqi picked up a piece of soap from a bed and said to everyone very seriously: "Remember, you must take a shower every night, and you can only go to bed after taking a shower."
Yang Dalang, Yang Ergou, Wang Laosan and others nodded, firmly remembering this.
"This is a towel, this is a toothbrush, and this jar contains toothpaste powder. Remember, you need to brush your teeth every morning. Brush your teeth with a toothbrush dipped in some toothpaste powder."
Then Liu Mingqi pointed to some other things on the bed and said.
Toothpaste powder was also invented by Liu Jin. Nowadays, conditions are limited and it is impossible to produce the kind of toothpaste of later generations, but there is still no problem in making early toothpaste powder. Early toothpaste powder mainly used chalk soil, animal bone meal, and
Made with some salt.
It can be said to be quite simple. Except for the relatively expensive salt, other things are very cheap. After our own Changlu Salt Farm starts producing salt, this toothpaste powder can also be produced on a large scale.
As for toothbrushes, they are relatively easy to make. They mainly use pig bristles to make toothbrushes. There are no people using pig bristles at all. You can buy a lot of them with just a little money, and they are very simple to make.
"toothbrush?"
"Toothpaste powder?"
"You have to brush your teeth every morning. There are so many rules here."
Yang Dalang couldn't help but think in his heart, there are really so many rules, such as what must be bathed every day, what soap must be used, and what kind of teeth must be brushed when getting up in the morning. In fact, gargling is enough.
But he still firmly remembered this.
"The tour of the dormitory is over~"
"You just saw the location of the canteen. I'll take you to the latrine to have a look."
After Liu Mingqi introduced the dormitory, he also led the members of his team towards the latrine.
"What's there to see in the latrine?"
When Yang Ergou heard this, he couldn't help but frown and asked.
"You'll find out later."
Liu Mingqi smiled and said.
The hut was not far from the tent where everyone lived, only a few dozen meters away. The hut was actually a house built of wood. Liu Mingqi led everyone into the hut.
As soon as they entered the latrine, Yang Dalang, Yang Ergou and others immediately widened their eyes. This is not a latrine. It is cleaner than their homes.
The ground is paved with cement, washed clean, there are squat pits, and troughs, all of which have no connection with the latrines in their memories.
"Is this a hut?"
Yang Dalang was really shocked. Such a place was cleaner and neater than their home. If it weren't for the smell, he would even doubt that this was a place where people lived.
"Everyone, remember, the tub is right here when you play the tuba, and the trough is where the trumpet is. After you play the tuba, there is a rope here. If you pull the rope gently, water will come out and wash it away."
"Be sure to stand in front of the trumpet and don't mess around."
Liu Mingqi pulled the rope and said to everyone.
Yang Dalang was very curious and pulled a rope, and suddenly water rushed down from a water tank above. There was also a large water tank in the tank on the other side, with water flowing in it. When the water came,
After a certain point, the water in the water tank immediately poured out.
This design is very simple, but in the eyes of Yang Dalang and others, it is very novel, and they want to study it carefully.
"Everyone remember that when you go to the bathtub, you must flush it clean and maintain a clean life. This is for everyone's good. Have you remembered it?"
Liu Mingqi asked loudly.
"Remember~"
Yang Dalang and others nodded and replied.
"Where did all the dirty stuff go?"
After leaving the latrine, Yang Ergou came to Yang Dalang's side and asked in a low voice.
"You ask me, who should I ask?"
Yang Dalang shook his head and said.
Soon, under the leadership of Liu Mingqi, everyone came to the bathhouse again. Like the hut, the bathhouse had also been built with wood. The bathroom was very large and could accommodate hundreds of people taking a bath at the same time.
"Look, everyone, this is where we wash our faces and brush our teeth in the morning, and where we take a shower at night."
"There is nothing more to say about washing your face and brushing your teeth. Everyone knows how to use this faucet. Now I will tell you about this shower nozzle."
"It's similar to a faucet. If you press it gently, water will flow from the top. Just stand under it when taking a shower."
Liu Mingqi led his team members to the bottom of a sprinkler head, turned on a switch, and water immediately poured down.
"You are so particular about bathing ~ Is this the life of gods?"
Yang Dalang couldn't help but sigh.
This kind of bathing method has never been heard of before, let alone seeing it. This time it is a real eye-opener.
"Do you think there are a lot of rules here?"
Liu Mingqi led everyone out of the bathhouse and asked everyone with a smile.
"It's true that I've heard a lot~"
Yang Dalang smiled and said.
"You have just come here, so you may not be used to many places yet, but after a while, you will slowly get used to it, and after you get used to it, you will also understand that these rules are actually for everyone's benefit."
"Ryukyu is different from the Central Plains. Miasma is everywhere here and mosquitoes are rampant. If you don't pay attention to your livelihood, you can easily get sick. Therefore, you need to pay special attention to your livelihood. Speaking of which, I have one more thing to explain.
Just remember it for a moment."
"After arriving here, you are not allowed to drink raw water, that is, you are not allowed to drink water from the river, and you are not allowed to drink water directly from the faucet. If you need to drink water, you can only drink cold water. This must be
must remember."
"Drinking too much boiled water will cause stomach upset in mild cases, extremely easy to get sick in severe cases, and may lead to tremors in serious cases. We will provide cold boiled water to everyone in the canteen. When you are working in the future, you can come and drink water when you are thirsty.
You can also work as a team and go to the canteen to get water and bring it to the work area to drink water."
When talking about hygiene, Liu Mingqi remembered one more thing and explained it very seriously again. This was also something Liu Jin emphasized when he came to Ryukyu. You can't drink raw water.
