Chapter 40: It's actually a toilet chip
Just now, thousands of people gathered in the front yard of the huge street, and there were still people in the crowd. Just because of what Wang Hao said, it immediately became silent. Two people who were close to each other could easily hear each other's heartbeat.
After seeing everyone in shock and silence, Wang Hao was immediately panicked. Before he could think too much, he pulled Zhang Sanmu who was standing beside him and walked into the open space about ten feet away, trying to find out the reason for this situation from Zhang Sanmu.
"Brother Sanmu, I just finished speaking, and everyone was silent. What was going on?" Wang Hao, who was confused, couldn't wait to ask.
Facing Wang Hao's inquiry, Zhang Sanmu, who was pulled a little beyond, asked back: "Brother Hao, don't you know why what you said just now?"
Wang Hao answered without hesitation without thinking about Zhang Sanmu's replies: "Yes, brother Sanmu, of course I don't know why. If I know, I still have to pull you to speak alone."
Seeing Wang Hao's confused expression, Zhang Sanmu didn't want to point it out, afraid that once it was pointed out, it would both of them fall into an embarrassing situation.
After contemplating his thoughts, Zhang Sanmu whispered indirectly: "Brother Hao, you didn't say that you put it in a few large bamboo baskets in front of a dozen thatched cottages in our backyard, and put tens of thousands of bamboo slices into bamboo sticks. The bamboo slices are then used to make them into pieces of meat and put them on the fire to barbecue. Those bamboo slices cannot be split into bamboo sticks for meat."
Regarding Zhang Sanmu's tactful reminder, Wang Hao obviously failed to understand, and defended himself unyieldingly: "Will those bamboo slices be placed in the bamboo basket and not use them idle, isn't it a waste? I asked you to lead someone to split these bamboo slices into strips of bamboo sticks, use them to wear small pieces of meat, and put them on the fire to barbecue meat. What's wrong with this?
"In my opinion, this is clearly a waste use. Why are you surprised by this? I even saw some people covering their mouths and noses with their palms. Why is that? I really understand this at all. Don't be sloppy like a girl, it's okay to just say something."
Seeing that Wang Hao said everything to this, Zhang Sanmu felt that it was useless to induce him by his own temptation, so he had to tell the truth: "Brother Hao, do you know that the bamboo slices in the bamboo basket are not useless where the prophets are. On the contrary, these bamboo slices are very useful. They are all toiletries. We usually use these bamboo slices to wipe our butts when we go to the cottage to shit."
Having said this, Zhang Sanmu felt that it should be stopped and there was no need to continue talking. However, he thought of another thing, changed the subject and asked curiously: "Brother Hao, you go to the cottage to shit on weekdays. Isn't it the bamboo piece that wipes your butt?"
It is no exaggeration to say that when Wang Hao learned from Zhang Sanmu that the bamboo pieces placed in the bamboo baskets outside more than a dozen thatched cottages were actually used to wipe their butts, for him, a modern man, it was a thunder sound on the ground, which made him feel like five thunders thunders thunders.
At this time, Wang Hao was stunned for a few moments when facing Zhang Sanmu's soul-searching, and then he became wise and replied in a silence: "Brother Sanmu, I tell you that after I go to the cottage to shit, I always use my fingers to wipe my butt, and then rinse my hands with water. Don't say it out."
When Wang Hao heard Wang Hao say that he would wipe his butt with his fingers when he was in the cottage and almost made Zhang Sanmu faint on the spot. Fortunately, he had not had dinner yet, otherwise he would have vomited immediately.
Because on weekdays, Wang Hao and Zhang Sanmu are almost inseparable. In addition to the two of them being responsible for patrolling Wengwazi North Street together and having dinner together, Wang Hao doesn't know how many times he used the hand that he had wiped his butt, and occasionally helped him brush bowls several times.
The reality is that since the first day of his journey, Wang Hao has never used bamboo pieces to wipe his butt, and he is not so stupid as to wipe his butt with his fingers. Instead, he steals some jute paper from the office to wipe his butt when people are not paying attention.
Although the ancient jute paper was a bit rough and it felt so uncomfortable when used to wipe the butt, it was incomparable to modern toilet paper, in Wang Hao's opinion at that time, it was no honor to be able to use paper to wipe the butt in ancient times.
It was not until later that Wang Hao learned that toilet chips, also known as toilet simplicity, toilet rut, toilet crochet, shit stir stick and dry shit, refer to wooden or bamboo strips used to wipe off the filth after defecation. This toilet chip was used in some areas of China and Japan in the 20th century, and has corresponding records in "Southern Tang Book", "Zizhi Tongjian" and "Fayuan Zhulin".
If Wang Hao did not know what bamboo slices were toilet chips from Zhang Sanmu, but really split the bamboo slices into bamboo sticks, then put them into meat skewers, and grilled them on the fire to eat meat skewers, it would be a heavy taste.
After thinking for a while, Wang Hao asked Zhang Sanmu to go to the account room to withdraw twenty taels of silver, and went to the grocery store not far from the street yamen to buy thousands of clean, unused bamboo sticks, and hundreds of charcoal. Then he bought some pepper, chili powder and other seasonings for later use.
Afterwards, Wang Hao instructed several servants from the street officials to quickly peel off the 20 pigs and 20 sheep sent from Kaifeng Mansion to peel off the wool, cut them into pieces of meat the size of fingernails, and send them to the backyard for barbecue.
As the saying goes, there are many people and great power. In almost two minutes, you can get all the meat, seasonings, charcoal and other essential for barbecue. The barbecue begins.
Because it was the first time these ancients had eaten such barbecue, they were all very surprised and thought it tasted very delicious, and they all praised this form of barbecue.
However, according to the relevant regulations of the street department, at least 200 officials among them must patrol the streets at night until the end of the hour of Hai.
In order not to allow the street officials who patroll the street at night to attend barbecue dinners every time, Wang Hao decided to turn off the lights in the front yard and lock the doors of the office room. However, the doors of the street officials closed the front yard, but did not bolt them, leaving a door for them.
But who knew that Wang Hao, the originally excellent starting point, had just passed Xu, and did not wait for the two hundred street officials who patrolled the streets at night, but instead waited for the four of the four of the Song Renzong Zhao Zhen, Empress Cao, Concubine Miao and Princess Fukang Zhao Huiruo.
More than a hundred soldiers from the wings squatted two meters away from the backyard of the street, gathered together, eating barbecue, drinking wine, talking and laughing, and playing.
After suddenly seeing someone breaking in, they immediately stood up and surrounded the uninvited guests who broke in. After blinking a few eyelids, the four members of Song Renzong Zhao Zhen, the family of four, Zhang Maoze, the deputy chief of the eunuch guards, and the twenty great guards were all surrounded.
The backyard of the street, which was originally full of laughter, suddenly became tense and frightened. Wang Hao and Bao Zheng, who were more than ten feet away from the gate of the backyard, learned that someone had entered, fearing that they would hurt the intruder by accident, so they hurried over and hurried over to find out.
