As soon as the eleventh princess entered the door, the nobles of all the families in the Qing Pavilion stepped forward, knelt on the ground, and saluted her respectfully.

A shallow smile appeared on Jia Luoyin's delicate little face, and after she motioned for everyone to get up, she walked towards Sang Shu.

Walking in front of Sang Shu, Jia Luoyin subconsciously wanted to hold Sang Shu's arm, but was gently avoided by Sang Shu.

The little expression on Jia Luoyin's face suddenly froze, and her innocent and pitiful gaze fell on Sang Shu, like a little milk cat, feeling that she had been abandoned.

Sang Shu crashed into her eyes, and her heart melted.

But he couldn't bear not to hold hands with her, but brushed over her ear and explained in a low voice, "There is no guarantee that there are people close to Concubine Li, if we are too intimate now, it will attract their attention, and if we investigate deeply, they will treat us as a group and frame me to dig a pit for you and Rong Yan." ”

was reminded by Sang Shu like this, and Jia Luoyin suddenly calmed down.

She hurriedly stretched her little face, raised her chin slightly, and straightened her back according to what Rong Ember taught her, with nothing in her eyes.

Led by Sang Shu, Jia Luoyin went to the private room upstairs.

The viewing position on the second floor is the best.

When the people were filled one after another, Sang Shu pushed out all the prepared poems.

She stood on the stage, "Thank you for your face appreciation to participate in this poetry meeting, I know that the ladies of all families in Yanshan City are both talented and talented, and they have their own opinions on poetry. ”

Everyone raised their eyes and thoroughly examined the decoration and style in this Qing Ya Ge, and finally, someone in the crowd asked in a coquettish voice, "What are you going to do in the future?" What is the point of bringing us together here other than to appreciate poetry? ”

Sang Shu blinked, "This young lady really got to the point, that's what I'm going to say next." ”

Sang Shu took a sip of tea, cleared her throat, and said, "In the impression of the young ladies, is it that since childhood, brothers and fathers will go out to participate in various banquets, and even go in and out of some Fengyue places, but my mother can only stay at home, even if her heart is full of sorrow, there is nowhere to vent. ”

Sang Shu's question was too straightforward, and no one present should talk to her.

But Sang Shu didn't care, she continued to raise her lips.

"Qing Ya Ge is a place exclusive to women to express their emotions and cultivate their sentiments, we Qing Ya Ge has a fixed performance talent of women, they are either painting, or playing the piano, or singing, as long as you want to see, Qing Ya Ge can perform, precious pastries and wine will not break, as long as you come to Qing Ya Ge, you can abandon all the world's restrictions on your framework, do what you want to do, completely release your soul."

"Isn't this place no different from the green building?" Someone in the audience immediately asked rhetorically.

Sang Shu hurriedly raised a finger and shook it lightly twice.

"In a sense, it's going to be a little bit like they're all enjoying life, but on a bigger level, they're very different."

"Except for Qing Ya Pavilion, which Fengyue place allows women to enter? Secondly, most of the women in Qinglou are down-and-out orphans, they have no choice but to sell their bodies or show their arts, and even have to condescend to men, such occasions are too dirty and dirty. ”

Sang Shu said, her voice suddenly raised, "What Qing Ya Ge wants to create is a place where there is no filth and stench, and it belongs to women to enjoy life, express their emotions, and cultivate their sentiments. No! ”

When Sang Shu's words fell, the ladies all covered their lips and chuckled.

"Of course, I said here a thousand times, it's better for you to experience it to your heart's content, today is mainly a poetry meeting, appreciate poetry together, don't collect cash, everyone has fun, enjoy yourself."

After Sang Shu finished speaking, the sound of the guzheng slowly flowed out like flowing water.

The girls in the audience couldn't help but be attracted.

They looked up at the women performing on the stage, and their expressions were not half seductive and seductive, only the satisfaction and pleasure of wholehearted intoxication.

And while they were immersed in the music, the maidservants came in with wine.

A small glass of wine was placed in front of everyone, and Jiang Jiang stood in front of the crowd.

She opened her lips, "Our wine is all from the frontier, called Yubing wine, there is not much inventory, so it is set as the color of today's Yahui, in the next poetry competition, the lady who wins the top spot in each round can come with us to receive a small pot to take away." ”

All the people present are the daughters of the family, who has not tasted food and wine, how can this jade ice wine of Qing Yage be different from other places?

None of them believed in evil, and thought it was Qing Yage's exaggeration.

With a tentative mentality, everyone picked it up and took a shallow sip.

Who knows, just this sip, the taste of jade ice wine spread in their mouths, and everyone's eyes widened in shock, the taste of this wine was mellow and thick, wrapped in a faint sweetness, not as spicy as they usually drink.

Yuanningguo is good at producing spirits and rarely makes fruit wine.

After Sang Shu drank fruit wine in the frontier, she remembered it vividly, with a strong alcohol flavor and a sweet fruity aroma, such a fine wine is most suitable for women to taste.

Fang Cai still felt that Jiang Jiang was bragging about this jade ice wine, and everyone couldn't help but raise their heads and drink the whole glass of wine.

However, the small cup presented was too little, and after everyone tasted it, they were still unsatisfied.

Thinking that the leader of the poetry competition could get a small pot, they got up one after another and participated in the poetry competition.

Can't wait to win the top spot, take away the wine, and taste it again.

An hour later, the poetry and painting competition was completed in two rounds, and the two young ladies who won the two rounds were all given a bottle of jade ice wine.

After they got it, they tasted it with their friends beside them, and their eyes were full of smiles.

"I've never drunk this kind of wine in Yanshan City, it tastes so good!"

"Yes, the taste of this jade ice wine has subsided my aversion to wine."

The rest, who did not receive it, listened to the words of praise from their lips, and all looked at them with their eyes.

……

Suddenly.

Jiang Jiang led the girls and sent a small piece of delicate snacks one after another.

In the small tray, there is only one piece, and there is no more.

The pastry is in the shape of a hibiscus flower, delicate and beautiful, just like the ones sold in those pastry shops.

Jiang Jiang watched the pastries finish on the table of the young ladies, and opened his lips, "This pastry is specially hired by our Qing Yage Jiangnan master to make, this master has excellent skills, but his temperament and personality are quite unique, he has requirements, he only makes twenty boxes of pastries a day, more than twenty boxes, even if he is given ten thousand taels of gold, he will not make another piece." ”

Everyone felt more and more strange, no matter how unique his temper was, he was just a pastry master, could it be that they really wanted to buy it, could this master refuse?

Besides, this pastry looks like an ordinary lotus cake, nothing new.

This pastry chef is really proud of himself.

In the midst of those discussions, Jiang Jiang curled his lips, "Everyone, just taste, and then make up your mind after tasting." ”

Looking at Jiang Jiang's determined eyes, everyone half-convinced and pinched the lotus cake and handed it to their lips.

The skin is crispy on the outside, soft and glutinous on the inside, and there is a very light milky aroma.

The fragrance of lotus lingers on the outside, rich on the inside, and the taste is very layered.

After everyone tasted it, they were a little surprised, this lotus cake was different from any pastry they had eaten before!!

The pastries in this Yanshan City are all sweet and greasy, like this lotus cake, the sweetness is moderate, the fragrance and milk fragrance linger, the taste is rich, and the lotus cake that makes people unable to extricate themselves has never tasted it!

Everyone who thought Jiang Jiang was bragging just now was extremely surprised and looked at her in disbelief.

It's not that they haven't eaten lotus cake, in this Yanshan City, the lotus cake sold under the banner of Jiangnan pastry tastes far from this one!

After only tasting one piece, many ladies on the scene rushed to order lotus crisp.

The more domineering lady said on the spot that if you want to order fifty boxes, the pastry chef must make them!

Jiang Jiangguan'er, "I know that you really like our lotus cake, but as I said before, our pastry chef only makes twenty boxes a day, and there is a natural reason for this." ”

She put the lotus crisp in front of her, "The appearance of this lotus crisp, although it is no different from ordinary pastries, but the materials and processes used in it are extremely complicated, and every process is indispensable. ”

"For the pastry chef, every box of pastries is carefully made by him, poured all his feelings, and treated as a work of art, so it takes a long time, twenty boxes is already the limit, if we want to sell it as soon as possible to make money, then the taste of these pastries is bound to be affected, and the pastries that lose such a good taste are not what you want."

After listening to the final reason for the twenty boxes a day, everyone was not entangled in why so few were sold, but began to plan how to grab these twenty boxes.

"Today is the poetry meeting, we are here to talk about tasting poetry, all, you don't have to worry about not being able to buy, because today's pastries do not cost money, according to the regulations, the ladies who want to order pastries, according to the lotus poems, and finally select the best twenty talents, and send us a box of pastries prepared today."

In the crowd, those young ladies who had no talent for lyrics suddenly couldn't help it, "This is not fair!" If we can only write lyrics, we will definitely lose, and this is cutting off our way! ”

Jiang Jiang hurriedly calmed her emotions, "This young lady doesn't have to worry, our Qing Accord is not only open today, starting tomorrow, according to the order of everyone's arrival, fifty bottles of jade ice wine and twenty boxes of pastries will be sold every day, and the types of pastries can be specified." ”

Hearing this, those ladies who felt that they couldn't win the poetry competition were relieved.

hurriedly instructed the maidservant beside him, "You must come early tomorrow morning, and you will definitely grab these two things for me!" ”

The less things there are, the more precious they are, and the harder things are to get, the more people will rob them.

……

The Qing Pavilion was full of excitement, and Sang Shu and Jia Luoyin on the second floor looked at the busy scene under the stage.

Jia Luoyin was surprised, "Ah San, you are still amazing, I didn't expect you to be so talented in business, just with a glass of wine and a piece of Jiangnan pastry, you completely beat your fame." ”

Sang Shu curled her lips mysteriously, "It's not enough. ”

When the poetry meeting was basically over, Sang Shu went downstairs.

She slowly walked in front of everyone.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you must have felt the charm of Qing Ya Ge in today's experience, and what I want to tell you is that in addition to these pastries that you can't eat in Yanshan City at all, and the wine that you can't drink, we will also train court painters to draw unique beauty pictures for you; At the same time, musicians from the famous Yanshan City are regularly invited to play and train talented women of the family......"

"In short, only you can't think of it, you can't do it without Qing Ya Ge, Qing Ya Ge's purpose is to set off for women and fulfill all women's wishes."

After Sang Shu said this, some young ladies in the audience couldn't help asking, "You said so much, then how much does this Qing Ya Ge charge?" ”

Sang Shu bent her eyes, "Before answering this question, I want to apologize first, because not everyone can enter Qing Ya Pavilion." ”

"Qing Ya Ge has invested so much silver, it is impossible to collect nothing, everything we have is of the highest standard, all eating, drinking and having fun, almost no different from the princesses in the palace, so, the fee is not cheap, if you want to enter the box on the second floor of Qing Ya Pavilion, you need to verify your identity, if you want to enter the first floor of Qing Ya Pavilion, you need to provide proof of property, our consumption bottom line is here, so the requirements are relatively high."

"But girls whose families are not so wealthy can come to Qing Ya Ge for recruitment, work in Qing Ya Ge for more than a year, and can enter and leave the first floor of Qing Ya Ge permanently without restrictions."

Sang Shu's words made Miss Qianjin, who was already a noble lady in the crowd, subconsciously straighten her waist with a happy and confident smile on her face.

And those girls whose families are not so wealthy and wealthy are not very willing to clench their fists.

Qing Ya Ge did this, which is equivalent to telling the people in Yanshan City that the people who can enter Qing Ya Ge are either rich or expensive, which is a symbol of indirect proof of identity.

Even if they will be scolded by the poor, there will be people who will continue to squeeze their heads and want to enter.

……

The poetry meeting ended successfully.

The eldest brother and the second brother Jiang Jiang and Jia Luoyin all sat at the long table and had the first welcome discussion.

The second brother was puzzled, "I can make hundreds of boxes of pastries a day, Shu'er, why do you tell them that they can only make twenty boxes?" ”

Without waiting for Sang Shu to speak, Jia Luoyin took the lead and said, "I know! Because scarcity is expensive! ”

Sang Shu flicked her fingers, "That's right." ”

"Second brother, even if you can make thousands of boxes a day, we have to say that we can only make twenty boxes, the more precious, the more they want to get, the more itchy those who can't buy it, when the time comes, open a pastry shop, with low-priced pastries similar to Qing Ya Ge pastries, those who can't buy Qing Ya Ge pastries, all rush into the pastry shop, and the two businesses are all booming."

After hearing this, the eldest brother was shocked.

He had always believed that Sang Shu had business talents, but she didn't expect that she would be able to come up with so many methods.

"But what if someone compares and finds that the two pastries taste the same?"
