Aunt Zhou's face showed an extremely excited expression.

One hundred and fifty taels of silver is not a small sum of money.

You just need to prepare various vegetables, fruits and melons every day, and then deliver them to the back door of the palace at a fixed time and place. You don’t need to worry about no one buying the vegetables!

The benefit of this is not only that it reduces everyone’s daily burden, it even makes life much more relaxed!

Although there might be a month when vegetables could be sold for more than 150 silver coins, the hard work would be unimaginable.

The more vegetables they sell, the more tired everyone will be.

Therefore, in response to Qian Ruoyu's suggestion, almost everyone nodded.

Their appearance even made Qian Ruoyu wonder if she had given too much money.

But Qian Ruoyu was thinking about something else.

It costs twenty or thirty taels of silver to buy food for the palace every day, which means at least six hundred taels of silver a month! At most, it costs nearly a thousand taels of silver!

By cooperating with vegetable farmers, I only need one hundred and fifty taels of silver a month, so I can save the rest of the money.

But apart from this, Qian Ruoyu had another idea, which was to improve the food in the palace.

Then you have to buy meat.

How much does it cost to buy meat per month?

Qian Ruoyu pondered in his mind, and then looked at Aunt Zhou in front of him. Isn’t this the best person to ask?

So Qian Ruoyu asked.

"Auntie Zhou, besides buying some vegetables and fruits, do you know anyone who can sell meat?"

"After all, I bought all the vegetables and fruits from you, so all I have to do is buy more meat."

After hearing Qian Ruoyu say this, Aunt Zhou nodded quickly.

"Ah, yes, yes, yes, yes!"

"I know a butcher who sells some meat, and I know him well. Madam, is there anything I can help you with?"

Although Aunt Zhou asked this, she already knew Qian Ruoyu's thoughts and was a little excited inside.

Qian Ruoyu nodded immediately after hearing this.

"That's right, I need a place to buy meat for the palace. If you know anyone, please recommend one to me."

When Aunt Zhou heard this, she nodded immediately, then took Qian Ruoyu out of the alley again and came to a main street of the market.

The market was bustling with people everywhere.

But almost all of them were wearing coarse linen clothes, in gray, brown, and black, except Qian Ruoyu's brightly colored clothes, which were completely out of place.

The clothes worn by dignitaries are all colorful, so ordinary people can only wear simple clothes such as gray and brown.

Therefore, when Qian Ruoyu followed Aunt Zhou, the people on the roadside immediately stepped back a few steps when they saw Qian Ruoyu, for fear of bumping into Qian Ruoyu.

Although I don’t know Qian Ruoyu’s identity, I know that Qian Ruoyu is not an ordinary person.

Not long after, Aunt Zhou brought Qian Ruoyu to a meat stall.

Just after Aunt Zhou arrived, the butcher at the meat stall was swinging his boning knife.

Seeing Aunt Zhou coming over, he hurriedly said.

"Oh, Aunt Zhou, it seems like you're doing good business today. You sold out so many vegetables so quickly. Otherwise, why would you come to my place?"

Aunt Zhou smiled, then made way for Qian Ruoyu to appear behind her.

When he saw Qian Ruoyu, the butcher's eyes widened, but he quickly retracted his gaze, fearing that he would offend Qian Ruoyu.

"This... May I ask which young lady this is?"

The butcher would not speculate whether Qian Ruoyu was Aunt Zhou's daughter. With Aunt Zhou's status, it was impossible for her to afford to let her children wear such colorful clothes.

Aunt Zhou smiled.

"This person's identity..."

Then Aunt Zhou glanced at Qian Ruoyu, as if she wanted to know whether she could reveal Qian Ruoyu's identity.

Qian Ruoyu nodded slightly, and Aunt Zhou immediately spoke excitedly.

"Master Wang, let me tell you, this person is the princess of the Night Prince's Mansion!"

When he heard these words suddenly, Wang the Butcher did not move at the first moment, but instead raised the knife in his hand in the air.

He blinked and asked in disbelief.

“Really…really?”

Aunt Zhou nodded without hesitation.

"When has my Aunt Zhou ever lied to you? This one is the princess! Look at her clothes, is it something that ordinary people can wear?"

Butcher Wang hesitated for a moment, then immediately dropped the knife in his hand, and then tried to salute Qian Ruoyu tremblingly!

Qian Ruoyu said with a smile.

"You don't have to be so polite. If people see you like this, they'll think I have some ulterior motive."

After all, seeing Wang the Butcher like this, people around him all looked over at him.

Qian Ruoyu's clothes were already somewhat eye-catching, and with something like this happening, it would be strange if people didn't come over.

Qian Ruoyu just wanted to discuss the price of meat in secret. This would not only improve the food in the palace, but would also save Prince Chu Mobai some money!

At this time, Wang the Butcher quickly stood up.

"Yes, yes, yes."

Wang the butcher had not expected that Qian Ruoyu, the lady from the palace, would be so beautiful and speak so kindly.

He quickly wiped his eyes and said.

"This... Please forgive me, Princess, for my poor eyesight. My look just now was offensive. Please forgive me, Princess!"

Qian Ruoyu smiled and shook her head, then asked inside.

"I came here to discuss a deal with you today. What's wrong with Aunt Zhou telling you? Don't you even have room to entertain guests?"

When Wang the Butcher heard this, his face looked even more surprised.

"Ah! I am so grateful to have such a generous guest like the princess... I will clear a seat for you right away!"

Butcher Wang immediately dropped the knife in his hand and walked inside. There was a small courtyard with a stone table in the middle and stone benches on both sides of the table.

Although it is a butcher's house, it is neatly decorated and looks clean.

After following Aunt Zhou in, Aunt Zhou specially used her own clothes to wipe the tables, chairs and benches for Qian Ruoyu.

"Master Wang, you are so lucky this time!"

"The princess came here specially to discuss business with you! The princess just negotiated a big deal with me. We won't have to worry about food and clothing in the future. Although you are a butcher, this business will definitely not work."

Butcher Wang nodded quickly, and at the same time brought tea and called his children over.

"You kids, hurry up and cut some melons for the princess, go quickly!"
