Lu Qingyang waved his hands, looking mysterious:
"The secret cannot be revealed! It won't work if I tell it now!
In short, believe me, this hot spring is definitely not just for soaking your feet!
Let's follow the first step we just mentioned and build the pool so that we can enjoy it first!
When everyone has experienced the wonders of this hot spring water and has a good understanding of it, I will then reveal the "big chess piece" behind it, and I guarantee you will be shocked!"
His words made people even more itchy, but they knew that Lu Qingyang always did things in an orderly manner and was not the kind of person who spoke without thinking.
Wang Dagang suppressed his curiosity and said, "Okay! As long as the captain has a plan in mind, we'll do as he says! Let's take care of the present first!"
"Construction, building a pool, putting up a shed, you are an expert, you are fully responsible! What manpower and materials are needed, just tell me directly! We have plenty of stones in the back mountain, and there are still many rafters in the wood team's warehouse. If there are not enough, go and cut some more! Make sure to make it solid, clean and warm!"
"Okay! Get on me!" Zhou Jianshe rubbed his hands together, this was something he was good at.
"As for the materials, I can find a way." Lu Qingyang murmured to himself.
"Uncle Li!" Lu Qingyang looked at the custodian.
"Hey!" Uncle Li responded.
"Pick out a few sets of clean old bedding and mats from the warehouse for future use! When the bathers come out, there must be a way to dry them and change their clothes so they don't get cold! Beside the bathing pool, there must be a few clean wooden barrels and ladles!"
"No problem! It will be kept in safekeeping!" Uncle Li nodded.
Everything was arranged properly. Lu Qingyang thought for a while and added: "First, hygiene is the top priority! For bathing, you need to prepare several large buckets of clean cold water and mix it with hot spring water to avoid scalding people.
The pool should be scrubbed clean with a brush every day, and it is best to bring some fresh water in to change the water naturally.
Before entering the bath, people must wash their feet! This matter needs to be managed by a responsible person. I think Aunt Wang is suitable because she is very careful! "
"Yes! Hygiene is important!" Everyone nodded.
"Secondly," Lu Qingyang looked at Zhou Jianshe, "Jianshe, when you build the pool, you should be a little more thoughtful. For example, you can lay some smooth pebbles on the bottom of the pool so that you can massage the soles of your feet when you step on them while taking a bath.
Build some seating platforms of different heights by the pool to make it convenient for people of different heights to sit and soak. Once these little tricks are done, soaking in the pool will be really comfortable!"
"Hey! Qingyang is really smart!" Zhou Jianshe's eyes lit up, "Okay! I'll think about it and make sure it's done!"
"Okay! That's it! Let's get moving!" Lu Qingyang waved his hand, and everyone immediately took action separately, full of energy.
The ecstasy of digging lime and finding hot springs has now turned into a feverish enthusiasm for construction.
A few days later, the hot spring pool took shape.
Zhou Jianshe chose a location that was sheltered from the wind and faced the sun, neither too far nor too close to the spring.
Two oval pools of different sizes have been dug, the inner walls are carefully built with green stones of uniform size, and the gaps are smoothed with lime cement, making them smooth and waterproof.
As Lu Qingyang said, the bottom of the pond was paved with a layer of pebbles that were rounded by the brook water.
Large stones are used to build steps of varying heights around the pool.
A small square reservoir has been built at the spring with stones and cement, and a cover plate has been added to prevent pollution.
A thick pipe that penetrates the bamboo joints of the village brings hot spring water from the reservoir to the newly built pool, with just enough water to flow slowly and keep the water clear and fresh. Another pipe brings cool water from a nearby stream to adjust the water temperature.
A sturdy thatched shed was built above the pool.
The frame is made of wood as thick as a bowl, the roof is covered with thick and dense straw mats, and a layer of thick dark green tarpaulin is added on top, which has an excellent effect of preventing wind and snow.
The hut was tightly surrounded on three sides with newly woven reed mats, leaving only one side open, and a thick straw curtain was hung at the door to block the wind.
There was a simple changing room built of wood at the side of the shed, covered with a clean straw mat that Grandpa Li found, and hung with a few sets of old bedding as door curtains and cushions.
Although the entire hot spring spot is simple, it is clean, tidy, practical, and exudes a sense of simplicity and care.
The shed was filled with steam, and the temperature was obviously much warmer than outside.
There are also special areas for men and women so that people who take a hot spring bath will not be too embarrassed.
"Done!" Zhou Jianshe wiped his sweat and looked at his "work" with pride.
"It's great! It looks warm!" Wang Shun rubbed his hands.
"This pool is no worse than the bathhouse in the city!" Old Zhao praised.
Lu Qingyang carefully checked and expressed satisfaction with the water diversion, drainage and sanitary facilities: "Great! You all have worked hard! According to the rules set before, priority will be given to the elderly in the team and those with cold legs, back pain and leg pain! Aunt Wang, the sanitation and dispatch are left to you!"
Auntie Wang, who was named, smiled from ear to ear and patted her chest to assure, "Don't worry, Qingyang! I will make sure this place is clean and arranged properly! If anyone wants to leave without washing his feet, I will chase him away with a broom!"
Lu Qingyang was still worried, so he gave Aunt Wang a bottle of disinfectant.
"Everyone has to wash their feet here before entering."
This is the foot washing disinfectant he exchanged from the space.
"Ouch, this smells weird."
"This is for everyone's safety."
"Okay, okay, everything is up to you."
When the news spread, the whole production team was in an uproar.
Eligible elderly people and several men with chronic back and leg problems, supported by their families, happily carried clean towels and became the first batch of experiencers.
Lu Qingyang also specially prepared swimsuits and swimming trunks of appropriate sizes for them.
When the warm spring water flowed over the cold ankles and wrapped around the sore waist and legs, comfortable sighs rose and fell in the straw hut.
"Oh...comfortable! Really comfortable! The heat is penetrating right into the cracks in my bones!"
"My old cold legs haven't been this warm in years!"
"Qingyang, this kid...really did a great thing for us!"
Seeing the elderly come out of the bath with rosy faces and comfortable bodies, they kept praising it, and the onlookers were full of envy and expectation. This hot spring water is really effective! It's so comfortable!
Lu Qingyang stood in the straw hut with a meaningful smile on his face.
This is just the first step to make the benefits of hot springs more popular.
Once everyone has tasted the benefits, and the reputation of the hot springs has spread, his grand blueprint of a "sanatorium" and "resort" will finally be put into practice.
"You will know in the future..."
When Shen Mo heard that she could soak in hot springs, she couldn't help but envy: "If it weren't inconvenient for me, I would like to try it."
Lu Qingyang smiled and said, "What do you want to try? We have something ready."
