After hearing this, Ao Chen said, "Xiao Tao...she probably won't be back for a while. I heard her say at noon that she was going to take a milk bath."
"What is that? Milk bath?" Fang Zhengyi looked surprised.
What happened in these few months when I was away?
Has Taoyuan County's consumption upgraded to this level?
Milk is not cheap at all, and I only drink it a few times a month in the county.
The main reason is that there are no dairy cows in Dajing, only milk from buffaloes and old oxen.
The milk production is extremely low. It is also sold in Beijing, but you’re not so extravagant as to take a bath in it, right?
Ao Chen explained: "Yes, the competition among businesses in the county is fierce, and everyone can only think of ways to make money."
"It's not cheap to wash this thing, twenty taels each time. I see Xiao Tao and Xiao Bai have been going there these days."
"Twenty taels..." Fang Zhengyi murmured.
"Twenty taels is too extravagant? Using human milk foam shouldn't be that expensive! This is too wasteful."
Ao Chen laughed and said, "Human milk is so disgusting!"
"Don't worry, sir. Nothing will be wasted."
"I heard that the remaining bath water was bought by the pig farm. The pig farm feeds the pigs with this water mixed with milk."
"Oh, the pig farm has even hired someone to play the erhu for the pigs. They've even put out ads saying that the pigs that grow up listening to music and drinking milk are called milk-flavored pigs. They'll be ready for slaughter next month."
"I also ordered one, it must be delicious!"
Fang Zhengyi's face was full of bitterness. Roll it up! Roll it up hard!
Being an official in Beijing is so fucking boring! It would be better to govern the people so that they can live a good life. What kind of life is this?
Fang Zhengyi sighed: "Go ahead, I'm tired, arrange everything."
"The prince is also in the county. Find someone to arrange food, clothing, housing and transportation for him."
"Come back Xiaotao, let her come see me."
After saying this, Fang Zheng walked towards the backyard, but turned around after taking only two steps.
"By the way, order me one of those milk pigs. Oh, never mind! No need to wait for it to be slaughtered, just roast one for me tonight! I want to have a taste too!"
