Emperor Xiaoyao of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 256 Long Hair, Lots of Bugs

In order to preserve food, Jin Yu tricked Li Er and his wife into launching a trend of raising cats; in order to kill flies and mosquitoes, Jin Yu built a biogas digester; now the rich families have used bamboo curtains and mosquito nets, but they still can’t resist the insects. Harassment, there is only a slight and serious difference, such as Jinyu and Yu Niang.

Mosquitoes still have a natural enemy. Dragonflies and bats take turns to be on duty. If you don’t sit on the wind, the small wings of mosquitoes will naturally stay away, but fleas and lice are not easy to deal with.

It hurts to see the way Wu Niang was bitten.It's not that the maids who monitored his residence were inattentive, and at least they were acting in the name of a county lord. They dared not neglect the three of them, but the problem ultimately lay with the woman.Nu Niang survived the massacre with a heavy psychological shadow. She developed a withdrawn personality since she was a child. She would hide from everyone, wishing she could hide in the house every day.

There are no synthetic pesticides these days, and there are only two ways to kill fleas and lice: bathing in summer and smoking in winter.The ancients, regardless of men, women, old or young, all had long hair (except for hair loss and monks), which just provided a good habitat and breeding place for the group of bugs.In a strictly hierarchical society, there are ranks and ranks, and everyone must abide by it, but lice and fleas don't care about it.Rats jump and jump on people, and then crawl on people, no matter how high or low they are, they eat when they are hungry, and lay eggs when they eat. Do you want to eradicate them?The difficulty is not so great, just because Confucius once said: the body is hair and skin, received by parents, dare not hurt, this is the beginning of filial piety.

If this sentence is indeed said by Confucius, then Confucius must be an idealist who lacks love and is extremely sloppy. Otherwise, who can bear a life covered in fleas?Of course, it is also possible that Master Kong has a thick skin and bites it without pain or itching.Normal people's hair falls out. I really want to know how Mr. Kong treats his hair loss. Could it be that he confessed his unfilial piety in front of his parents' plaque?Next time you dream of his old man, you should chat well.

When Mr. Kong was alive, he didn't make money to enjoy the blessings. When he was gone, his words became the golden rule.Perhaps the old man was not reconciled, so he crossed over to Dong Zhongshu and used his identity to establish his own ideological authority.

It's okay for the old man to lack love. When he thinks of his parents, he swears that it doesn't matter if he doesn't cut his hair, but the terrible thing is that future generations will take it seriously!This is really two thousand years!The sanitation conditions are backward, and no students say that they should be taught to brush their teeth after eating lice and fleas. Therefore, diseases and plagues are so fast that they basically don't run away, and every one dies, which is much worse than the atomic bomb. *** saw hope from this group of little bugs. The use of biochemical weapons is smooth, of course, this cannot be blamed on Mr. Kong.

Going back to the hair, until the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, the hair was kept but not the head, and the hair was cut first, and those who were not willing to part with the little hair had their heads moved.I don't know if I can fulfill my filial piety by keeping my hair or my head. I didn't even leave the incense sticks for my ancestors to burn paper on festivals.Those who didn't move their heads found that they were filial as well after shaving their heads, and the ancestors didn't ask dreams to blame, so they got used to it.Muhammad preached with a knife in one hand and the Koran in the other. The scale of Islamism today is not small. Why don't we say that "scholars can't rebel for ten years"?Makes sense.

I can't get a haircut, fleas and lice are still messing around, and my whole body is covered with red bumps one by one, what should I do?Some people also thought of a trick after seeing wild boars rubbing against trees and getting resin, and rolling in old bezoar mud ponds had an effect.Of course, it is impossible for people to rub the resin, the skin is too thin; it is also impossible to roll in the mud, that will be laughed at as a lunatic, so try taking a bath!Tried it, the effect is really good.Although there are no bugs on my body, there are still bugs on my clothes, but I have to wear clothes, right?So a smart woman followed suit, found a mallet, soaked her clothes in water, put them on the bluestone board and smashed them hard, muttering: "Let you bite my old lady and beat you to death!"The popularization time of this method appeared at least in the Spring and Autumn Period. Everyone is familiar with Xishi Huansha. In fact, she is not washing clothes, but smashing fleas and lice``````
The working people of the Tang Dynasty inherited the skills of their predecessors and carried them forward.Fleas and lice do not stay dormant in winter like mosquitoes, and the cold wind outside is biting. They continue to suck blood from people for pleasure.It is too expensive to heat hot water, and it is impossible for the common people to jump into the river with bare buttocks to take a bath for their own comfort. Everyone agrees that it is tantamount to courting death. It may be that winter swimming was not popular at that time, or the rivers and lakes were too frozen. not open``````
Since there is no way to kill fleas and lice by taking a bath in winter, the common people thought of another way - smoke!Smoking is actually not difficult. Light a brazier, throw some half-dry firewood into it, put on a clothesline when the smoke starts to rise, and then wrap the clothes around it, and then the whole family gathers around to catch insects for fun Too much, I dare not say too much, no matter how the family's clothes can be smoked.

Of course Yu Niang can't accept smoking, so can I still wear the clothes the next day?She always takes baths, but Yu Niang doesn't trust the maids who monitor her, she drives them out every time she takes a bath, and then enters the bath tub after closing the door, so that she can feel safe.

I have a sense of security, but taking a bath, even if the object of cleaning is only myself, it is quite difficult for a six or seven-year-old girl to cope with it.What's more, she has to come into contact with a sloppy old man every day-a sloppy old man who is proud of not taking a bath, takes pleasure in raising lice and fleas, and occasionally catches lice and fleas as snacks!No wonder you don't get bitten on your body!
Wanting to change this general environment is tantamount to dreaming, but Jin Yu can still change a few people and even the environment around him.It's not that he has much kindness, but that he really can't stand this extremely harsh environment!Who said that there are no lice and fleas in the landlord's house?nonsense!

To change, start with Miu Niang and Bai Ze. This is why Jin Yu ordered Mi Niang to find Yang Ying, and asked Yang Ying to give them a good bath.It is true that Fan Zhongju loves his daughter as a father, but he is not careful enough. He didn't know how to clean his daughter before, and he is still like that now. He only knows how to stuff delicious food.

While Yang Ying was bathing the two lolis, Jin Yu came up with Qingxiazi's idea.Medical skills have always had two sides. How can there be a doctor who can't dispense poison?The only difference is medical ethics.Jin Yu planned to find Qingxiazi's whole prescription to kill the insects, so he took the time to find him.After Qingxiazi came out of the palace, her reputation rose to prominence, and Jinyu was paid according to the treatment of a consecratory. Now he is either going to see a doctor for a young daughter-in-law, or going to a brothel to consecrate a woman who has lost her footsteps. He is very busy!
"The Taoist priest is so excited! Do you eat this tonic?" Qingxiazi lay lazily on the bamboo chair, groped on her body for a while, then put it in her mouth with a crisp sound of "cracking", and saved a bug` `````The bright moonlight shines on Qingxiazi's body, his every move is disgusting, doesn't he hate the smell of blood?It is said that vampires do not drink tea unless they have to, this long taste is a bit heavy``````
"Why don't you try it too?" Qingxiazi raised her eyelids and continued her great cause of salvation.

"The boy doesn't have the good teeth of the Taoist priest, but he can collect a bucket or two for the Taoist priest, which saves you the trouble of being caught." Jin Yu pushed Mazhazi away with his feet and sat down, it would be safer to stay away from Qingxiazi .Once it is stained with this bug, it will not be cleaned for three to five days.In summer, it’s okay to be able to jump into the pool for a good afternoon, but in winter, it’s a pain. It’s hard to straighten your legs with a one-meter-long wooden barrel. No matter how big the barrel is, it can’t stand the water pressure. After all, it’s made of wood. It's no wonder if you put a ton of water on it and it doesn't burst!By the way, it seems that there is no bathtub in these years?Jin Yu misses the bathhouse of later generations``````
"Stop talking nonsense! What's the point of looking for a poor Taoist?" Qingxiazi didn't even bother to lift her eyelids now, bickering seldom took advantage of Jinyu, but was ridiculed every time.If he hadn't had expectations for Jin Yu, he wouldn't have lived here permanently. It would be more in his mind to visit the great rivers and mountains, meet beauties from all over the world, and strengthen his own cultivation.

"Didn't I want to give you a chance and give you a prescription, so that you can make up for your mistakes? You are a good child, let's see what it looks like after being bitten by fleas? Let the royal family know, why don't you strip your body?" Jin Yu and Qingxiazi seldom have a serious appearance. The original intention was to let Qingxiazi mix some insecticides, but when they came out, it turned into selling Qingxiazi.

"Isn't your mother taking care of you? When did it become a matter of the poor? If it wasn't for the fact that you were moved to compassion, the poor would not bother to care about it." Qingxiazi refused to accept Jinyu's tricks and shirk Responsibility Road.

"Well, it's enough if you don't just say it directly, why make excuses?" Jin Yu shook his head regretfully, "It seems that it is more reliable to ask Daoist Sun for advice."

"Hey!" Although Qingxiazi was sloppy, she was quite conceited about her medical skills, and refused to accept it: "You boy, don't be a poor man! Others may not know the poor way's prescription, but well, this is a poor way The secret of not passing on the teacher's door, unless ``````"

"Apprenticeship? Don't talk about it!" Jin Yu thought that Qingxiazi was bringing up the old story again, so he directly refused. Without Zhang, the butcher can still eat hairy pigs?Qingxiazi didn't cooperate, he really didn't believe that other people had no way out, Sun Simiao didn't recruit, and Zhen Liyan, Zhen Liquan, Tang's genius doctor, Jin Yu was very familiar with it!
"Hey! Young people are impulsive, who said you were asked to be a teacher?" Qingxiazi ran away when he saw Jin Yu. He didn't understand why Jin Yu would run as far as he could every time it involved being a teacher.

"What's the condition?" Jin Yu stopped and turned to ask.

"Isn't it almost the Mid-Autumn Festival? Pindao heard that your kid makes mooncakes very well? Pindao is thinking about offering some offerings to the patriarch, as an apology for leaking the master's prescription." Qingxiazi expressed his conditions .

"Deal!" Isn't it just that you want to eat?Also in the name of the patriarch.Foodies never make excuses for their delicious food, Qingxiazi violates the principle of foodies, Jin Yu despises him very much!
