Chu Xi no longer wanted to waste time and quickly returned to the vicinity of the train station. In a good mood, he took his letter of introduction and found a guesthouse that looked high-end.
She actually wanted to leave some traces here.
Of course, she could spend a night comfortably in the space, but she didn't want that. She didn't want to rely on the space for everything.
This space had come and gone inexplicably, so would it also disappear inexplicably? If it suddenly disappeared one day, would she become a useless creature unable to survive?
I don't think so, but it will definitely be painful and uncomfortable for a long time.
Moreover, she quite likes the feeling now, reliving the 1970s and her life again in an immersive and sober way.
She always feels unreal when staying in the space. In the past six months, she has consciously reduced the use of the space many times. When it was too cold in winter, she would take her children into the space to rest, but after spring, she started sleeping in the house.
During this period, she would only go in to check on Little Stone when she needed to, and occasionally she would take Little Stone out for a walk when she had the chance. Although the space was very nice and comfortable, there were indeed no humans there. Being isolated from the crowd, it was easy for the child to develop an autistic personality.
The guesthouses in Kyoto are quite upscale, with a clean environment, perfect room layout, and attentive service. You won't see the bossy attitude of the salespeople in small department stores or supply and marketing cooperatives, which makes people feel extremely comfortable.
White curtains, yellow-shaded table lamps, wooden floors...
It creates a feeling of home for people. It is impeccable from the big picture to the details. It is also very comfortable to live in. It is good.
There is actually a separate bathroom, which is a high-end configuration.
Adding to that the pure white ceramic toilet, Chu Xi didn’t know how long it had been since he had used this thing.
This thing solves people's problem of grain recycling. Although it is inconspicuous, it is very useful in daily life.
The history of toilets can be traced back to the Han Dynasty. The toilets at that time were called tiger toilets and were used exclusively by the emperor. Legend has it that they were made of jade.
It was held by the eunuchs who served the emperor so that he could use it at any time.
Later in the Tang Dynasty, because there was a person named Li Hu in the emperor's family, in order to avoid taboos, the name Hu Zi was changed to Shou Zi or Ma Zi.
Later, as the word spread, it evolved into the name of the toilet.
"Xijing Miscellaneous Records" says that the Han Dynasty court made "tiger pots" out of jade, which were held by the emperor's attendants so that the emperor could use them at any time.
This "tiger pot" is a special utensil that later generations called a chamber pot or chamber pot, and it is also the predecessor of the toilet.
The toilet used by the people in ancient China was a round wooden barrel with a lid, painted with tung oil or fine waterproof vermilion lacquer.
Flush toilets only became popular in Europe and the United States in the 1960s, and later spread to Asian countries such as Japan and Korea.
I didn't expect to see it in Kyoto now. It's quite rare. You know, this thing is very common in public toilets in later generations.
He leisurely packed himself up and took out the various snacks he had bought on the street in the afternoon. These things are plentiful in later generations, but the taste of those from this era is more satisfying.
Bagao is a small steamed cake made of buckwheat flour, soaked in cold water, and then cut into small pieces with a knife and placed in a bowl when sold. It is then mixed with soy sauce, vinegar, sesame paste, cucumber shreds, pickled carrot shreds, mustard, mashed garlic, etc.
Jelly is made by making starch from mung beans, adding water and alum and cooking it into a paste. The paste is then dried into soft crystals and cut into tofu-sized pieces. The pieces are placed in a basin of cold water and then chopped into small pieces before being sold. The seasonings used are the same as for pancakes.
Nowadays, steamed cakes, jelly, etc. are mostly sold together, and vendors sell them on their shoulders or in carts on the streets.
Chu Xi was also in high spirits. Seeing that the old man was still secretly selling snacks on the streets despite his age, he bought all the snacks for him and took away a series of thanks from the old man.
After bringing Little Stone out, Chu Xi saw that he was no longer as reserved and afraid of people as before in the unfamiliar environment, and then saw his excited expression as he ate a bunch of snacks. She felt like her son had grown up, and her heart was filled with comfort and happiness.
Maybe it was because he had vented a lot of violence at that time, or maybe it was because he was thinking about seeing Shi Peng soon, Chu Xi was a little excited.
I watched Little Stone play in the room for quite a while, played games with him, told him stories, and before I knew it, it was quite late. I didn't know when I fell asleep holding Little Stone in this future internationally renowned metropolis...
