"Of course, we won't." Xue Sifu immediately laughed.
"That's good." As he spoke, Doctor Shen muttered to himself, "I'll help you get the saltpeter. It might take at least four or five days for me to get the supplies."
"We don't have that much money on us right now. We can give you the money tomorrow, alright?" Xue Sifu said with a smile.
Saltpeter was very expensive. It cost two pieces of silver per 50 grams. If it was 120 kilograms, it would cost them 400 silver.
Xue Sifu was confident about spending money like this because he trusted Xue Yan's words. It was also because of the successful rice noodles and liangpi business that he was not afraid of losing money in trying to make ice. At most, he could earn it back by selling rice noodles and liangpi in the future.
However, once he made ice, he would be able to earn back the four hundred silver very quickly. At the same time, he would be able to earn a lot more.
