Chapter 160 Bathroom
After a long day of hard work, what everyone in Qiming loves to do most is to soak in the newly completed bathtub to wash away the stinky sweat and fatigue of the day.
This has been a favorite place since the bathhouse was built.
After nearly two months of being savages, everyone finally realized the freedom to take a bath.
There was plenty of rain in June, so the water storage tank was almost always full. At present, the entire water diversion device was running very smoothly. Chen Mu was even considering adding another water storage tank.
After all the two cartons were sorted out, the room seemed more open with plenty of space.
When he first did this project, his ability was not that strong. If it were now, a water storage tank of this size would probably only take a few minutes to complete.
However, it seems that there is no need to increase the capacity of the water tank in summer. Dong Junwei and others mean to wait until September.
Chen Mu soaked himself in the large bathtub. The cool water covered most of his body, leaving only his head resting on the edge of the metal bathtub.
The stainless steel bathtub is even colder to the touch. Fortunately, it is summer, and Chen Mu and Wei Dalei wish the water could be colder.
Dong Junwei and other girls are obviously more particular. Every time before taking a bath, the squad leader must personally heat the entire bathtub.
Because the shower option was abandoned, the metal coil that was previously considered was not installed for the time being. Instead, Dong Junwei directly heated the bathtub.
The stainless steel bathtub is heated to a suitable temperature for the human body, and after adding water, you can enjoy the beauty of a hot bath.
The bathroom is divided into two rooms, men's bath and women's bath.
10 bathtubs each were installed.
This ensures that everyone has their own dedicated bathtub, which is the same as the squatting position in the toilet.
The reason why it is so luxurious, apart from considering hygiene, is mainly because the construction of bathtubs is not difficult. Chen Mu accidentally built a few more, he is so willful.
Of course, hygiene is also a big factor.
Although it is called a bathtub, it is actually more like a water tank. The biggest drawback is that there is no drainage.
According to the current size of the bathtub, even if a drain outlet is designed, the water cannot drain naturally from such a small pipe.
The most important thing is that with such a small amount of water, if you take a bath for a long time, it will almost evaporate, and you have to keep replenishing it.
According to Tang Jing's design, a main water pipe with a diameter of 10mm was introduced into the bathroom, laid overhead on the ceiling, and then 20 branch pipes were hung down. These branch pipes were tapered, with a diameter of 2mm at the end, and screw caps were installed.
Chen Mu first tried to make valves, just like the principle of faucets, but eventually found that in addition to the high precision requirements, the control of faucets was even more difficult than directly installing a screw cap.
Such a water supply is still a bit primitive, but compared to before, it is the difference between savagery and civilization.
Of course, the feeling of taking a shower now is not the same as before.
When you put water in the bathtub, there is no water flow. What flows out from the small outlet is droplets larger than half of your body.
Just three or four drops can fill the entire bathtub, and some of it will be wasted outside.
There are also rules for taking a bath and you cannot go together.
According to the bathroom management regulations drawn up by Tang Jing, no more than one-third of the people can take a bath each time, that is, bathing in three batches, with a maximum of three boys and three girls each time.
The purpose of this is, of course, to prevent everyone from taking a shower and an emergency happening outside.
But the bathing time of girls is much longer than that of boys.
The third group of people on the boys side have already put on their clothes, but the first group of people like He Ying, Dong Junwei and others haven't finished washing yet.
...
After the bathing problem was basically solved, another big trouble became more and more obvious.
For two whole months, everyone was still wearing the same clothes.
Basically they are short-sleeved tops, some people wear long pants, and some wear shorts.
But no matter what he wore, it was already dirty before.
Fortunately, there is a bathroom, and after being able to take a shower, the problem of washing clothes is barely solved.
When taking a shower, rub your clothes and pants once, and then wring them dry. Because the volume is too small, the water evaporates quickly. After you take a shower, even if it is still a little wet, you can wear it and walk around for two times, and it will basically be fine. Just do it.
Because they all have accommodation experience, except for a few guys like Zhu Hao, who can save clothes for a week and take them home for his mother to wash, the others have no problem in this regard.
It's just that there is no washing powder, so I can't wash away greasy things. I can only rinse it with clean water every time. At least the sweat smell is much better than before.
Even so, things often go wrong.
For example, when Wei Dalei was wringing out his clothes, he accidentally used too much force and tore his T-shirt.
In the end, Dong Junwei asked Chen Mu to make an embroidery needle, and then pulled out the cotton silk from the cotton thread and mended it for him. However, the squad leader obviously had not done this kind of thing before, and the craftsmanship was a bit fashionable, and the mended clothes were left There was a huge scar, which seemed a bit unconventional at first glance.
Old Wei didn't care about this. He wanted to be shirtless in this weather.
However, Chen Mu and others still saw the problem.
Even if the cleaning problem is solved, the life of clothes is limited after all. Especially if you wear one piece every day, it will obviously wear out faster.
It is estimated that in a few months, everyone's clothes will become tatters and beggars will not be much better.
Because Chen Mu's ability still doesn't have much effect on fabrics, so he can only think about making clothes.
Of course, it's not completely hopeless.
In principle, it is not difficult to pull the cotton thread out of the towel and knit a piece of clothing like a sweater.
But the problem is that no one of the seventeen people present, including Tang Jing, knows how to knit with a needle stick. To be precise, Tang Xueba knows the steps of knitting sweaters and various stitches, but his hands-on ability is limited and he has never really knitted. But I couldn't get started at all.
And even if it can be knitted, the roughness is only as rough as a sweater. It is barely acceptable as clothes and trousers, but woolen underwear is a bit too exciting.
about this issue.
Dong Junwei suggested that Tang Jing could teach everyone how to knit sweaters. After a few months, they would be able to make a few pieces of clothing.
Although this matter is not urgent at the moment, it is obvious that when the weather gets colder, it will be too late to think about it again.
At present, it seems that this is the only way.
Therefore, several boys, including Chang Junyan, also raised their hands to express that they could study.
However, when everyone focused their attention on Tang Jing, the study committee member did not seem to agree with this plan.
Because she has her own ideas.
It has to be said that Tang Xueshen's way of thinking is completely different from that of normal people. His thoughts are not as wild as usual. He can calm everyone down with one sentence:
"I think it might be better to just build a loom."
