Huang Fei didn't waste any time and drove straight to the bathhouse in the county town.
Seeing that everyone wanted to go, and that five yuan wasn't much, Zheng Ping decided to join them.
Upon arriving at the bathhouse, a receptionist approached and asked what services they needed.
"Just wash it normally," Zheng Ping said.
"What other services do you offer?" Chen Feng asked.
"A package ticket costs ten yuan, including a body scrub. There are also options for twenty-eight, thirty-eight, fifty-eight, and one hundred and eight yuan."
"We offer cupping and massage," the receptionist explained.
"One hundred and eight? How am I supposed to wash that?" Zheng Ping gasped quietly upon hearing the price.
He simply couldn't understand the concept of spending over a hundred yuan to take a bath; perhaps this was the life of the wealthy.
"People in their 108s can go upstairs, what do you know?" Huang Fei nudged Zheng Ping with his shoulder and chuckled.
Even if Zheng Ping had never been there, he had heard of it. Upon hearing this, he couldn't help but shake his head. He was a gentleman, why would he go upstairs for no reason?
"Can we go upstairs with 108?" Zheng Ping asked Huang Fei in a low voice.
"It's definitely possible to go, but some services will probably cost extra." Huang Fei had never been here before, but he had heard about it from the villagers.
"It's already 108 yuan, and you still want to pay more?" Zheng Ping was a little confused. Was it really that expensive?
"You'd have to ask them to find out what's going on. What, you want one?" Huang Fei's eyes were filled with ill intent.
"No way, I was just asking, I'm not coming." Zheng Ping shook his head like a rattle-drum.
Huang Fei knew that Zheng Ping wouldn't go upstairs no matter who went; how could an honest man like him do such a thing?
After a few seconds, Zheng Ping asked Huang Fei in a low voice, "How much more money do we need to add?"
Upon hearing this, Huang Fei turned his head instantly, his eyes filled with disbelief.
"???"
Well, buddy, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, you seem to have a secretly passionate side.
Seeing Huang Fei's meaningful smile, Zheng Ping quickly added, "I'm not going, I'm just asking."
"Give me a ten-yuan one," Chen Feng said as he stepped forward.
"Okay, here's your card." The receptionist made a few moves on the computer and handed Chen Feng his card.
Apart from Chen Feng, everyone else had ordered the five-yuan treatment. Huang Fei thought for a moment and then added to the receptionist, "Give me cupping."
"Hey, I'll have one too."
Seeing that someone was taking the lead, Yin Xing was eager to try it out.
I've made some money, so it's time for a little relaxation.
"Why don't you get cupping done?" Huang Fei urged Zheng Ping.
“No, it’s five yuan,” Zheng Ping said, shaking his head.
After changing their shoes, the group went to the changing room, took off their clothes, and entered the bathhouse.
There weren't many people in the bathhouse at that time, just one person scrubbing people, and a large pool in the middle.
As soon as you enter, you can feel the humid heat hitting your face.
The group approached the showerhead, and Chen Feng turned it on. Hot water gushed out, and he almost cried out in pleasure.
Who can understand the comfort of touching hot water after not washing your face for a week?
The group was all extremely comfortable at this moment. Huang Fei rubbed his hair and said, "Damn it, I just don't have any money. If I did, I would definitely go and see what's going on with that 108 yuan."
Yin Xing laughed upon hearing this, "Didn't you just earn so much? One hundred and eight is nothing to you."
"That won't do. It's still too little money. If I were like Fengzi, earning several thousand at a time, I'd be willing to spend that money," Huang Fei said, rubbing his face.
"Next time we find a big gold nugget, let's all experience what it's like to have a 108-yuan nugget," Yin Xing said expectantly.
After rinsing for a while, Huang Fei went to buy a bath towel from the bathhouse attendant for two yuan, and they started scrubbing each other.
Chen Feng, whose package included a bath, went up to the bath attendant and showed him his card.
The masseur had Chen Feng lie down on the bathing platform, poured two basins of water on him, and started scrubbing him with a bath towel.
Chen Feng didn't know why, but every time he got a scrub in the bath, he felt like he had turned into a pig.
Every year during the Lunar New Year, the pig is slaughtered in the same way: the pig is placed on a cutting board, some boiling water is poured on it, and a scraper is used to scrape off the hair.
The moment the masseur started scrubbing, he rubbed the bath towel and was immediately astonished.
Goodness, I haven't gotten such a big job in ages.
Dude, is taking a shower illegal where you guys live?
It took the bathhouse attendant almost twice as long to finish scrubbing Chen Feng, and they splashed out an unknown amount of water.
All he could say was that the few dollars he earned were hard-earned money.
But I have to say, it's been a long time since I've had a match with someone like Chen Feng. I don't know why, but it felt kind of satisfying and really de-stressing.
"Thank you, Master." Chen Feng sat up and took a comfortable deep breath.
Scrubbing your body is the soul of bathing; if you don't scrub your body while bathing, what's the difference between you and someone who hasn't bathed at all?
After Chen Feng finished rubbing himself, he noticed that the others were still rubbing each other, so he went into the large pool and soaked comfortably.
After Zheng Ping and the others finished rubbing each other, they went to the large pool and immediately cried out in pleasure upon entering.
"Oh ho~"
"Awesome!"
Huang Fei looked at Zheng Ping, who was comfortably closing his eyes, and chuckled as he teased him.
"So, was it worth the five yuan?"
"Worth it." Zheng Ping nodded comfortably as he soaked in the hot water.
He hadn't been to the bathhouse in years.
"One hundred and eight is even more worthwhile," Huang Fei laughed.
"What, is pool number 108 bigger?" Chen Feng asked with a smile, pretending not to know anything.
Everyone laughed upon hearing this.
Because you have to wear a bathrobe when you go out for cupping, after everyone had soaked for a while, they stood up and went to the changing room to change into their bathrobes and go to another room.
Not long after they left, the bathhouse cleaner returned from an errand. He picked up a brush and prepared to clean the floor.
In his imagination, he had only been gone for less than an hour, and there were hardly any people around at that time, so it shouldn't be too dirty.
When he got to the bathhouse and saw the mess on the floor, he was completely stunned.
"No, were there forty people taking a bath here just now?" he asked the bathhouse attendant in surprise.
"Six or seven, I guess," the bathhouse attendant replied, sitting on a small stool.
"Six or seven people? You think six or seven people could rub this down? Are they all scum? It crumbles like dust with just one rub?"
The bathhouse attendant was scrubbing the floor with a brush, speaking in an extremely incredulous tone.
I've been cleaning public bathhouses for years and I've never encountered anything like this before.
On the other side, Zheng Ping and his group had arrived at the cupping room. Huang Fei and Yin Xing took off their shirts and lay on the bed. The technician picked up his tools and began to cup them.
The remaining people watched from the side, while Huang Fei lay on the bed looking at them and said.
"Cupping feels good, you guys should try one too, it's only five yuan."
Hearing this, the group hesitated. They wanted to pull it out, but they couldn't bear to spend five yuan.
"After a shower, get some cupping to remove the dampness, and you can have one done." One of the technicians, seeing their hesitation, couldn't help but use the classic sales pitch.
"Okay, give me one."
"Then I'll pull it out too."
These people couldn't resist the temptation and ended up spending the five dollars.
"Okay, please wait a moment, I'll do the extraction for you after I finish his." The technician nodded with a smile.
