Chapter 189

Song Shiyun and Miss Yu San looked at each other, and then she nodded to the waiter, "Okay, you can lead the way."

The waiter was very happy when he heard this and quickly invited the two of them to the second floor.

When he saw the two men's clothing and temperament, it was obvious that they would make a lot of money today!
When he thought about this, he smiled from ear to ear, and enthusiastically brought Song Shiyun and Miss Yu San into the compartment on the second floor.

The partitions on the second floor are individual small private rooms.

There are soft couches, tables and chairs inside, and there is an inner room inside, which is separated by layers of curtains.

Inside is the place to change clothes.

The waiter brought them into the box, asked them to sit down, and said with a smile: "You two, please wait a moment. Someone will bring refreshments later. I will go and get the clothing materials first."

Song Shiyun nodded, "Thank you."

"You're welcome." The waiter smiled cringily, gave them both a thousand dollars, and ran out as if he was afraid that Song Shiyun and Miss Yu San wouldn't buy it.

Song Shiyun glanced at his back and felt a little strange, "A shop as big as Qianjin Pavilion receives all the women of wealthy families. Shouldn't he have seen a lot of people like you and me? Why are he still so excited?" "

Miss Yu San understood this well and explained: "Shi Yun, you just returned to Beijing and you still don't know. You don't know that although Qianjin Pavilion's business is big, there are very few noble family members who actually come to the store to buy. You Didn’t you see that the clothes of those people outside are not considered classy?”

When Song Shiyun thought about it, it seemed to be true.

Miss Yu San continued, "The more aristocratic the family, the more rules they have for their women. Women are generally not allowed to come out and show off at will, especially for things like tailoring. Most people let the masters of Qianjin Pavilion They took their apprentices to their homes to have their clothes made, and rarely came to the shop. For example, the waiter just now looked like he was not the apprentice of the masters. If he did not go to the shop and buy materials from them, they would have no choice but to Earn some dead wages, but I heard that Qianjin Pavilion stipulates that as long as the materials are bought from the shop or second-hand, the waiter can be given [-]% of the wages. They count on this money to live. .”

There is no hard work in a place like Qianjin Pavilion, and generally speaking, the wages are not too high.

If you want to live a good life with the wages here, you have to count on customers to come to the shop to buy fabrics.

But the status of the female family members received by Qianjin Pavilion means that those women will not come here easily. Those waiters are equivalent to losing an income.

There are usually a lot of people in Qianjin Pavilion, but most of them only buy materials with medium to low prices.

The price at which the materials are sold is lower, and the extra wages the waiter gets are also lower.

Song Shiyun raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect that the market outside would be so fun now.

Just as Song Shiyun was thinking, a little girl walked in from outside.

The little girl was only about thirteen or fourteen years old. She was small and it was a bit difficult to carry a piece of tea.

Still a little timid, he walked in quickly with his head lowered, not daring to say anything, put down the tea and left.

Seeing her going out like that, Miss Yu San was a little surprised, "There is such a shy little girl in Qianjin Pavilion. I thought the waiters in Qianjin Pavilion were all very eloquent."

Song Shiyun smiled lightly, "Sister-in-law, would you like some tea?"

"I'm really a little thirsty." After running for so long, Miss Yu San had already felt tired.

A cup of tea now would be just the solution for her urgent need.

Picking up the tea cup, Miss Yu San used the tea lid to brush the tea leaves on it, and then took a sip. She was a little surprised, "It turned out to be the best snow mountain white lotus."

Song Shiyun knew something about this.

Snow Mountain White Lotus does not refer to real white lotus, but white tea from the snow mountains. It tastes extremely refreshing and sweet, just like fruit.

But it's a little less sweet than fruit.

Very popular among the female relatives of aristocratic families.

However, the annual output of Snow Mountain White Lotus is very small.

The number of babies born each year is no more than two kilograms, and almost all of them are sent to the palace.

If you want to get some snow mountain white lotus outside, you have to pay a sky-high price.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a thousand gold tea.

Qianjin Pavilion was holding such precious tea to entertain guests.

Sure enough, he is really rich.

Song Shiyun picked up her tea cup and took a sip. The taste was the same as she remembered, and it was indeed delicious.

Miss Yu San was also a little hungry now. Seeing that there were pastries brought, she reached out and picked up a piece and looked at it.

Immediately, she exclaimed, "It looks like meat cakes."

Song Shiyun glanced at it.

The next second, her eyes darkened.

Why does she feel that this pastry tastes weird?

Song Shiyun reached out and pinched a piece, put it under his nose and smelled it.This taste...

She frowned suddenly!
This taste!

"It looks like the rice meat cake from Xicheng Book of Rites. Let me try it." Miss Yu San smelled the pastry and it was quite fragrant, so she put the pastry to her mouth and wanted to take a bite. .

However, a hand suddenly reached out from beside her and grabbed her arm.

Miss Yu San looked over blankly.

Then he met Song Shiyun's cold face.

Miss Yu San said in confusion: "What's wrong?"

Song Shiyun whispered: "I advise my sister-in-law not to eat this pastry."

Miss Yu San was puzzled, "Why?"

Song Shiyun pursed his lips, not wanting to tell Miss Yu San the truth.

But seeing Miss Yu San staring at her all the time, she couldn't make up a better reason for a while, so Song Shiyun had no choice but to tell the truth: "If sister-in-law knew that the meat used to make cakes is human flesh, would sister-in-law still be willing to eat it?"

"what?!"

Miss Yu San's pupils suddenly dilated and she couldn't help but scream.

Song Shiyun seemed to have felt it for a long time. The moment Miss Yu San opened her mouth, he raised his hand to cover Miss Yu San's mouth.

Miss Yu San stared at Song Shiyun in horror, and goosebumps appeared on her skin.

Song Shiyun stared into her eyes and whispered: "Keep your voice down, be careful that walls have ears."

Miss Yu San nodded quickly.

Seeing this, Song Shiyun slowly let go.

Miss Yu San got free, swallowed hard, and looked at Song Shiyun in disbelief, "Is this true? Shiyun, are you trying to scare me?"

Song Shiyun took the pastry out of her hand and said, "I never joke about this kind of thing."

Miss Yu San was stunned for a moment, but after thinking about it carefully, she seemed to be the same.

Song Shiyun never seemed to be the kind of person who liked to joke casually.

However, Miss Yu San couldn't accept it.

She stared at the plate of pastries in fear, and couldn't help but push the plate forward, "Why, how can there be human pastries here? No, it can't be..."

Song Shiyun didn't say anything. After breaking open the pastry in his hand, he carefully studied the meat inside.

There are a lot of spices added to it, and if you smell it, it's only a little bit popular.

In fact, normal people think that human flesh should have no special taste.

But for those who practice Taoism, all things have animism, whether they are humans or ghosts, they all have their own special flavor.

Human flesh and other things naturally taste different.

Song Shiyun struggled to distinguish a little bit of human flesh from inside. Immediately, she used her fingers to scrape off a little grease from the inside, put it on the tip of her tongue and tasted it gently.

The next second, Song Shiyun frowned, took out the handkerchief, covered his mouth, and spit.

Seeing this, Miss Yu San swallowed her saliva and asked anxiously: "Shi Yun, is this human flesh?"

Song Shiyun hummed lightly and put down his cake.

Miss Yu San almost fainted after receiving the confirmed answer.

Thinking that she had almost eaten the pastry just now, her stomach was churning even more. She covered her mouth and her voice was a little unclear: "This, isn't this the rice meat cake from Liji? I heard it is very famous. Why? , how could it be made of human flesh?”

Hearing this, Song Shiyun narrowed his eyes and asked confirmingly: "Sister-in-law, are you sure this is the rice meat cake from the Book of Rites?"

"Yes, I, I saw Rumeng eating it..."

Shen Rumeng loves to eat. Almost as soon as something delicious becomes famous in the capital, she will ask her servants to buy it.

This rice meatloaf is no exception.

I heard that this rice meat cake only became famous in the past two or three months.

But after Princess Shiyu's death, even if she became famous, not many people would spread the news by word of mouth, and no one would dare to discuss entertainment matters too much.
