There was no toilet in Guangzhou before, let alone taking a toilet. They are all "shit towers" (toilets), and rich people buy lacquered wooden toilets. It's all because of convenience (defecation). At that time, before dawn, farmers pulled dung boats into the city to "topple towers" (dig excrement) and cleaned "toilets" for others from door to door.
Because there was no chemical fertilizer at that time, the chemical fertilizer used for farming relied entirely on going to the city to pull people's feces. In order to thank the city people for their support to agriculture, the shitboat always brings some sweet potatoes to the city people every year.
So some people are familiar with it. "Fat water does not flow out of the field." They always know farmers who often come to their homes, and even children pee in recognized shit buckets.
In historical materials, there are two allusions, one is the story of Su Dongpo, and the other is a very famous eunuch in the late Qing Dynasty.
Li has lived a hard life since he was a child. His father sent him to the palace as a eunuch. If he wants to get ahead among so many people, he must bribe the eunuch. This big eunuch said this sentence, that is, rich water does not flow out of outsiders.
Lee had a hard life since he was a child, so he had to find a way to get money, otherwise it would be a waste. One of his fellow villagers is the general manager, so when the fellow villagers were on duty, Li went there to report and deliberately spoke his hometown dialect, and the fellow villagers noticed him at once.
Later, Li was arranged in the comb room of Cixi and became a little eunuch. Because of her good comb, she soon won the favor of Cixi.
