418 Can’t Stop

“It’s business, so you definitely won’t give us the quilts for free,” Butler Zhao continued, “The quilt and wooden box are the final payment. It’s also written here that if you think there’s no problem, you can stamp your thumbprint. It doesn’t matter if you sign it or not. Many people who are illiterate can’t sign it, so they can only stamp their thumbprint. This doesn’t matter, as long as this document can be counted as proof.”

Jiang Yue and Xue Yan took the document and read through it. There was no problem with it. When they realized that Butler Zhao was going to give them 100 silver upfront, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan nodded to Sifu.

Only then did Xue Sifu dip his finger into the box of red ink that Butler Zhao had taken out from his chest, and then pressed his fingerprint.

It was one document per person.

After sending Butler Zhao away, Xue Wufu couldn’t control himself. He covered his mouth and jumped up and down in joy. “That’s so much money!”

Xue Erfu was also very happy. Xue Sanfu’s expression was as cold as ever.

Xue Sifu passed the documents and silver notes to Xue Erfu so that Liu Guixia could keep them later.

Xue Erfu had newfound energy. He was in a hurry to return home to tell his family the good news. He planned to drive the ox cart he had borrowed from Tian with Xue Sanfu and return with the large wooden box.

However, Xue Sifu told him not to rush back. “You need to buy some things first.”

“What is it?” Xue Erfu asked.

“We have to buy a few more big pots. It’s too slow to produce saltpeter in one big pot. We have to be faster.” Xue Sifu lowered his voice. “As you can see, we only started selling ice today, but we’ve already gotten two big deals. In the future, there will definitely be people who will buy more ice from us. Also, we have to use a special big pot for cooking the liquid for the sour plum juice and popsicles. We can’t mix it up with the big pot for boiling saltpeter. We’ll have to move the rice noodles to the workshop in the future. There’s too little space at home, so we can’t use it. It also saves Mother and the others from going to the workshop to grind the powder and then bring it back to make rice noodles. When the time comes, the rice noodles in the workshop will also need a big pot. Anyway, if we don’t need it now, we can find a use for it in the future.”

“Yes, yes, yes.” Xue Erfu immediately nodded in agreement.

“Also,” Xue Sifu continued, “We need to buy more quilts. Tian’s ox cart definitely can’t carry so many things. Hire another ox cart and send them to our house. We have to buy wooden boxes too. There’s definitely not enough at home. Although we still have a lot of paper bags at home, it’s best to be prepared in case we might need more in the future.”

“Okay!” Xue Erfu agreed again.

“The sweet red beans I bought yesterday are all gone. I’ll have to buy more of that too. The bucket of sour plum juice was definitely not enough. I plan to bring more sour plum juice to sell tomorrow and buy another bucket with a lid. That’s all.

“We should be running out of early rice to make rice noodles soon. You don’t have to worry about that. I’ll buy some when I pass by the shop. If you buy a lot of rice, they’ll send it over on an ox cart.

“I won’t buy too much either. Our early rice will be harvested at the end of this month. By then, we’ll have early rice at home too. We can also buy this year’s newly harvested early rice from the villagers.

“We can buy two ox carts of early rice from their shops for now. The rice noodles business can’t stop no matter what. Xue Yan, Jiang Yue, and I will wait here and see if anyone else comes to order ice.” Xue Sifu said.
