Qian Ruoyu felt calmer. All the people in the old lady's circle were good people.
Maybe we can consider a long-term order with them.
"I am just here to buy your vegetables this time. Now that your vegetables and fruits are so fresh, I am quite satisfied."
After being praised by Qian Ruoyu, everyone had smiles on their faces.
But obviously because of Qian Ruoyu's identity, everyone did not dare to say anything. Instead, they all became a little timid.
After all, Qian Ruoyu is the highest-status person that everyone has ever seen. For a moment, he didn't know how to face Qian Ruoyu.
The old lady smiled.
"They are all orphans I found in several nearby villages. They all have no father or mother."
"They were all pitiful. I saw how pitiful they were, so I took them in and gave them food, drink, and shelter. They only had to help me with such small things every month, and I gave them two ounces of money per person."
Two coins is equivalent to two thousand coins, which is no longer a small amount of money.
Moreover, these people obviously have not married or started a business, so they are even more able to save money, not to mention they can work and eat and drink with the grandmother.
Qian Ruoyu admired the old lady even more. If such a person were placed in modern times, he would definitely be called a great person by others.
Raising orphans and making money with them is already kind enough.
Qian Ruoyu then said.
"Okay, okay, I'm just here to see your vegetables and fruits. You don't have to be so nervous. Just go back and do your own things."
Only then did everyone return to their places. Some were taking care of the vegetables, and some were removing the leaves from the seedlings. They looked very orderly.
The old lady on the side immediately said to Qian Ruoyu.
"How is the princess? Are you satisfied?"
Qian Ruoyu nodded slowly and said to the old lady again.
"Auntie, what do you call me?"
The old woman introduced herself: "My surname is Zhou, and I was originally the wife of the Minister of Civil Affairs of the former dynasty. But because of some trivial matters, my whole house was confiscated, and my husband... couldn't bear the pressure, so he left."
"Then I packed up my belongings, dismissed all the servants, and reluctantly gave them all the remaining belongings. Then I left myself dozens of taels of silver and started a small business."
After hearing these words, Qian Ruoyu was even more shocked.
Qian Ruoyu never thought that Aunt Zhou's experience would be so bumpy, and her life would go through such ups and downs in just a few decades.
And the most important thing is that Aunt Zhou didn't feel any sadness at this time, and she also supported so many people through such a small business.
There are a total of ten people in the yard, and these ten people almost all seem to be very shrewd, obviously because of Aunt Zhou.
After thinking of this, Qian Ruoyu admired Aunt Zhou even more.
"Aunt Zhou, I wonder if you are interested in negotiating a long-term order with me... No, a long-term transaction!"
If we talk about orders these days, I'm afraid no one will understand.
Hearing what Qian Ruoyu said, Aunt Zhou's face immediately turned red and she looked at Qian Ruoyu in shock.
"This... Madam, if you have any orders, just tell me..."
Qian Ruoyu said calmly.
"Seeing that your fruits and vegetables are so good, and you don't look like a bad person, I think I can try it with you and buy all your vegetables and fruits. I wonder if you are interested?"
When she suddenly heard this, Aunt Zhou's heart trembled and she quickly covered her chest. Qian Ruoyu also quickly supported her.
"Auntie, what's wrong with you? Are you so excited?"
Aunt Zhou said with a smile.
"You don't know. Selling these fruits and vegetables every day is actually not a simple job... Sometimes if the business is not good, there will be hundreds of kilograms left, and we can only digest it ourselves..."
"Now that I hear you say this, it means that our daily fruits and vegetables are all available!"
"This... Madam, are you kidding me?"
Qian Ruoyu smiled and shook her head.
"I never joke with you. Let's calculate the price next. Let's have a good talk about the price. From now on, we will get vegetables from you every day, and we don't have to communicate with anyone anymore."
Aunt Zhou nodded quickly and then introduced.
"In this yard are the vegetables we need to sell every day. In that corner are some rotten vegetables and fruits that we picked out. Except for the vegetables and fruits in that place, we can sell them in other places.
."
Qian Ruoyu glanced at the corner of the yard, and there was indeed a large vat stacked in the corner. What was inside the vat were some tattered vegetables.
After seeing this, Qian Ruoyu felt even more relieved.
"We have about a few hundred kilograms of vegetables every day. The quantities vary, but I think we should be able to supply the entire palace with vegetables..."
Seeing that Aunt Zhou was a little confused, Qian Ruoyu asked directly.
"Auntie, our business is actually very simple. We don't need to worry so much. Let's just leave it like this. You prepare at least three hundred kilograms of vegetables for me every day!"
"I don't care how much these vegetables and fruits are, as long as they are of good quality, I will give you five taels of silver every day. What do you think? If you think they are missing, we can add more."
But after hearing what Qian Ruoyu said, Aunt Zhou was stunned.
Five taels of silver a day means a full 150 taels of silver a month. After deducting the cost of the stall and the cost of the small warehouse, the aunt can still get more than a hundred taels of silver.
When she thought of this, Aunt Zhou couldn't help but pinch her face.
"I...I'm not dreaming, my dear, are you sure you're not joking with me? If that's the case..."
Aunt Zhou was already a little unable to speak anymore, after all, she was too excited at this time.
Qian Ruoyu still said calmly.
"Aunt Zhou, please slow down. Even so, although I will give you one hundred and fifty silver dollars every month, you must control the quality of the vegetables!"
"If there is no problem with the quality of the vegetables, it will be no problem to give you one hundred and fifty taels of silver every month. But if there is any negligence, I will be the only one to ask questions!"
Aunt Zhou nodded quickly.
"Yes, yes, princess, please feel free to rest assured!"
"Being recognized by the palace like this makes me feel very satisfied. I still have one hundred and fifty silver dollars every month. How could I dare not to take it seriously?"
After finishing speaking, Aunt Zhou looked at other people.
"Did you all hear this? We don't have to worry about it in the future, no one will buy our vegetables!"
