Chapter 153: Tut-tut-tut

After speaking, he put down the knife and used a small brush to meticulously clean the broken hair stubs on Li Xuewu's neck.

After cleaning, Master Zeng asked softly: "Comrade Li, do you want a shave?"

Li Xuewu nodded: "Shave."

I don't know which switch was moved, but the back of the chair opened backward. Master Zeng used his right hand to support Li Xuewu's head and lie back, a support extended from his legs, and Li Xuewu straightened his legs just enough to put his calves on it.

Master Zeng used hot water to scald a hot towel and applied it to Li Xuewu's face, while he went to stir the soap box with a brush until foam was stirred out.

Here, the hot towel on Li Xuewu's face lost some temperature. Master Zeng took off the towel and put it in the basin, took hot water from the hot water bucket that had been heated by the fire stove, soaked it, turned around, brushed the soap foam, and applied it to Li Xuewu's chin and temples in a swirling motion, and gently applied a layer to the mustache on the upper lip.

Put down the soap box, scalded the towel again and applied it to Li Xuewu's face, waited for two minutes, the towel dissipated the heat, took it off and put it in the hot water basin, and applied the soap foam again, then applied the hot towel to his face again.

Repeated the action of applying soap, then picked up the scraper, sharpened it seven times on the razor cloth, and started scraping from the neck of the chin, scraping to one place and lifting a corner of the hot towel, and after scraping, applying the hot towel back.

Li Xuewu now had foam on his mouth and couldn't speak, so he could only listen to Master Zeng nagging about stories from the early days, some bizarre, some famous. This city of 49 had too many stories and legendary figures.

Just during the warlord melee, this city of 49 was like singing a big opera, entering today, going out tomorrow, like playing with monkeys. Some governors went in and out several times. These old things couldn't be finished in three days and three nights.

Neck, chin, temples, upper jaw, lower jaw, cheeks, face, eyelids, eyebrows, forehead, earlobes, ear canals, nostrils, every place on the head where hair grew was repaired.

Feeling the scraper wandering on the skin, every place was a vital point of a person, both nervous and comfortable. This was truly a world of ice and fire.

When scraping that scar, Master Zeng was extra careful, it could be said that he scraped off a layer of dead skin little by little.

"Comrade Li, if you care about this scar, you can find a way to eliminate it. The old soil methods are not reliable, but the hospital now can do it. Master Ding also had a scar cut on his face in the early years, and later he also found a hospital to do it. Look at his face now, the scar mark is much lighter."

Li Xuewu didn't care much about this scar, he was a bit used to it, but if it could be repaired, it would be best. He had to find a time to ask someone who knew.

After scraping his face, he pressed the acupoints on the top of his head and the acupoints on his neck along the scalp, and then pressed and kneaded the acupoints on Li Xuewu's shoulders. This technique was really in place, neither painful nor itchy, extremely comfortable. This was what Master Ding just said about "releasing sleep." If you don't pay attention, you can really fall asleep comfortably.

Master Zeng used a hot towel to help Li Xuewu wipe his face, helped him sit up, removed the cloth, and held a mirror in front of Li Xuewu.

"Comrade Li, look at how it is?"

Heh! The hair on the temples had been scraped short, and the bird's nest hair had been cut into a three-seven-part lightning hairstyle. Master Zeng didn't know when he had applied styling hair wax.

Looking at this long face again, it was like being polished, white and red, especially after the eyebrows were slightly trimmed, it was even more star-eyed and sword-browed, handsome and extraordinary, and even that scar had faded a lot.

"Master Zeng, thank you very much. How much money do I need to pay?"

Master Zeng smiled and put the mirror under the seat, saying: "Just give 1 dime 5."

Li Xuewu disagreed and said: "That's the price of a haircut in a barbershop. This is shaving and pressing acupoints, and you also applied hair wax for me. Like this, give you 5 dimes. A female comrade's haircut is 3 dimes 5."

As he spoke, he took out 5 dimes and handed them to Master Zeng.

"You are righteous, thank you for the reward." Master Zeng still had some old traditional politeness.

This old craftsman didn't live on a fixed fee, but mostly on the rewards from regular customers. For example, Mr. Mei sang and sold tickets for hundreds of people in the theater, and he might have thousands or tens of thousands of ocean dollars, but the rewards were thousands.

Li Xuewu saw that Master Zeng's craftsmanship was really good, so he asked: "Can I invite you to provide door-to-door service? There are many people in the family."

Master Zeng nodded: "I know the courtyard you just mentioned. Which day do you want me to serve at your mansion?"

Listening to this half-new, half-old polite words, Li Xuewu couldn't laugh or cry: "Don't take up your precious time. Every Saturday afternoon, you go home to the side room of the outer courtyard. I leave this matter to you." ===== CHAPTER 154 =====
