After hearing these words, Qian Ruoyu naturally agreed in her heart.
In addition to leeks, the old lady’s stall also sold other vegetables, as well as some fruits and melons that Qian Ruoyu had never seen before.
But these fruits and vegetables are eaten in this era.
Two of the fruits and melons are very similar to loofahs and cucumbers, but Qian Ruoyu is not sure that these two fruits and melons are loofahs and cucumbers.
Qian Ruoyu also asked at this time.
"Madam, if it's one penny per pound, then these thirty or fifty pounds would only cost thirty or fifty pennies. I'm afraid you have to pay more than that to enter here, right?"
Qian Ruoyu wanted to find out how much silver these people selling vegetables, fruits and melons spent to be able to enter here to sell their products?
"Oh, what a sweet mouth!"
The old lady was extremely happy when Qian Ruoyu called her "Auntie".
"I don't just have these 30 or 50 kilograms. They are just on display in the market. Once they are sold out, they will be shipped here immediately. My family is not rich, we just run a small business."
"Princess, you may not know that we have already gone outside the city before daybreak to find nearby farmers to collect these vegetables. We have to be here before the morning hour to arrange them. Time is very tight."
"Of course, it's impossible to sell only 30 to 50 kilograms a day. As for what you want to ask, I'm afraid it should be the government. How much silver do we have to pay? To be honest, everyone who sells these things here has to pay five taels of silver every month."
When Qian Ruoyu heard this, he naturally knew that the old lady in front of him was not joking with him.
This means that the monthly profit must be more than five taels of silver, and just a few more taels of silver is not enough.
I'm afraid it's not just the old lady who has to get up early and go to bed late to buy all those vegetables.
There may be someone else behind the old lady. If she were alone, it would be impossible for her to accomplish all this.
After thinking about this, Qian Ruoyu was even more shocked by what she saw. There must be a considerable force behind such a simple old lady.
Otherwise, if you want to sell vegetables and fruits on this street, it is probably not something that ordinary small merchants can do.
For this reason, Qian Ruoyu decided that she could buy vegetables from the old lady in the future, perhaps she could get the lowest price.
And the most important thing is that maybe grandma has other more complete vegetables.
Qian Ruoyu asked.
"Auntie, I think you should have other vegetables, not just leeks and fruits, right?"
The old lady nodded quickly.
"Yes, yes, Princess, you are right."
"I do have more than just a few vegetables and fruits here. In addition, I also have some other dishes. It's just that these are not sold out, so I can't bring those over. After all, each person only has such a small stall."
Qian Ruoyu nodded slightly and then asked.
"In that case, take me there now and let me broaden my horizons."
The old lady was surprised.
She had never seen such a request.
It's okay for the servants of those dignitaries to speak harshly, after all, they are also making money from them.
But the servants of these dignitaries never thought of seeing their own small warehouse.
However, the princess in front of me is quite unique.
After taking a quick look, the old lady nodded immediately.
"Okay, I'll take you there right away, but my small stall..."
Qian Ruoyu gently touched Yan'er beside her.
"My maid is here, so you don't have to worry about who dares to touch your stall. I, the princess, will be the first one to not let him off!"
The old lady nodded quickly and made way for him.
"Princess, please!"
Qian Ruoyu naturally followed the old lady.
The old lady's pace was not slow, but rather fast, which made Qian Ruoyu even more surprised.
He can still walk so fast at such an old age, obviously he is not weak.
After walking out of the street, Qian Ruoyu followed the old lady into an alley.
"Thanks to your understanding of justice, if it were someone else, I'm afraid they wouldn't dare to come to this alley with me, for fear that they would encounter something bad."
Qian Ruoyu was also shocked when he suddenly heard the old lady say these words slowly!
Why didn't I think of this? There is a real possibility of encountering danger in here.
Qian Ruoyu immediately looked around worriedly, fearing that something unexpected might happen to her.
Then the old lady pushed open a wooden door in the alley. Behind the door was a small courtyard, which looked to be only about 30 square meters.
The old lady stood at the door and made a gesture to Qian Ruoyu to invite her in.
"Princess, this is a small warehouse that we are temporarily renting. We borrowed it from a mansion nearby. We need to pay ten taels of silver every month."
"Ten taels of silver!" Qian Ruoyu opened his mouth wide.
It was indeed unbelievable that such a small place cost ten taels of silver. This meant that the old lady's monthly profit had to be more than fifteen taels of silver, or even double that.
Because in this small yard, there were several women and men tending to vegetables.
There are more than a dozen kinds of fruits and vegetables placed in the yard. They look like they have just been harvested from the fields and are all very fresh.
After all, pesticides had not yet been invented in that era, and all the fertilizers used were purely natural, so these vegetables naturally grew beautiful and gorgeous.
After following the old lady in, everyone looked at Qian Ruoyu in surprise.
"Grandma, why did you bring outsiders here?"
"Grandma, who is this person? Is he our new member?"
Listening to what everyone said, Qian Ruoyu felt that these people did not look evil at all. Instead, they seemed somewhat friendly.
The old lady smiled and said.
"You guys... there's not enough money to share among all of us. How could I possibly ask one more person to come over?"
"This is the princess from the palace."
Just after the old lady finished speaking, everyone was surprised, and then they all stood up quickly, bowed their heads towards Qian Ruoyu, and prepared to kneel down!
After seeing their appearance, Qian Ruoyu hurriedly said.
"No, no, no need to be so polite!"
But several people had already knelt down, and after hearing what Qian Ruoyu said, they quickly got up.
Qian Ruoyu naturally did not expect that her status as a princess would be so beneficial here, and these people would be so polite and courteous.
