When Master Wu heard his son’s words, his eyes lit up.

The weather was hot then.

Even in the capital, there weren’t many families that could afford to use an ice basin.

If he could get the recipe for making ice and use it for others to do him a favour in the capital, there would definitely be endless benefits.

He could also make ice and sell it at a high price to those who were rich but lacked ice.

Master Wu thought for a moment and said, “Get that Fourth Son Shi to talk to that wretched girl and see if she can sell this technique.”

In his opinion, she was a wild girl who did not have much experience.

That was why she would sell them the little black balls with 600 taels of silver the previous time.

Eldest Young Master Wu nodded. “Alright, I’ll go and look for Fourth Son Shi now.”

Just as he was about to leave, Master Wu asked, “How’s the progress of those little black balls?”

Speaking of this, his son said a little helplessly, “Those people are still trying to find out what those powder in the little black balls were made of. There isn’t much progress yet.”

He didn’t know when they would be able to make it.

He said, “Father, do you think that wretched girl will have a formula for making the little black balls?”

Master Wu thought for a moment and said, “That’s hard to say. You can ask Fourth Son Shi to test it out. If there is, we can pay a high price to buy it.”

Hiring people to analyze it required more time and money.

As long as they could get their hands on it, that wretched girl’s days would come to an end.

He added, “If Fourth Son Shi doesn’t succeed, you can personally go to Xiaxi village to talk to that wretched girl in the next two days.”

Eldest Young Master Wu had similar thoughts. “Alright.”

He had heard that Bai Hoseok had followed Xiao Jungkook back to the village today.

It seemed that he had already seen the ice.

They could not let the Bai family gain the upper hand.

Recently, the Bai family produced a type of white sugar.

Be it in terms of its colour or texture, it was much better than the sugar available on the market. 

They had even sold it at a high price in the capital.

They suspected that this might be related to that wretched girl.

This also gave them a sense of crisis.

They could not let the Bai family get past them.

In another village.

Bai Hoseok also wanted to buy the formula.

He pestered Shi Hoseok and asked, “We can be considered friends. How about you name a price for this formula and sell it to me?”

Shi Lisa shook her head. “I’m not selling it.”

She had prepared saltpeter to make ice mainly for her family to cool down.

She also wanted to see if she could scam others with evil intentions.

She really didn’t plan to use it to earn money.

Bai Hoseok Thought for a moment and asked, “Do you want to make ice and sell it? Or is this method very troublesome?”
