However, Master Zhao was clearly not satisfied with this. He not only wanted to recover his losses, but also wanted to make a big profit!
Otherwise, wouldn't all his efforts these past few days have been in vain?
"Didn't you say that saltpeter is now in high demand but hard to find? One hundred coins a pound is too little. In my opinion, one hundred and fifty coins a pound is more appropriate!"
Butler Zhao was somewhat taken aback: "Isn't this a bit too much?"
"A lot? Not at all! This saltpeter can be used to make ice, and even though it's a bit more expensive, it can be used repeatedly. In the end, they're making a huge profit!"
Master Zhao was somewhat unwilling at this point, precisely because he knew that saltpeter could be reused repeatedly, and even if there was only a little loss, the profit from selling saltpeter would only be high during this wave. After the hype died down, the price of saltpeter would return to its previous level.
Therefore, he is even more determined to seize this opportunity and earn more money at once!
Having served him for many years, how could Butler Zhao not know what Master Zhao was thinking?
Although he felt the price was a bit inappropriate, he thought again that other pharmacies had already raised the price of saltpeter by almost double and nothing had happened.
So what if they raise their prices a little? They're the only ones with stock right now!
With that thought in mind, Steward Zhao felt relieved and turned to attend to the matter.
The master instructed that this matter must be handled as soon as possible, and that the sale of saltpeter must begin before tomorrow!
With one mouth above and legs running around below, he had to coordinate the buying and selling, and also arrange for people to spread the news that the Zhao family would soon have saltpeter for sale.
Zhao's ruthless methods stunned Zhao Juan and also shocked Chen Danian.
The former was happy, glad that he had made the right decision. Sure enough, if he wanted to live a life of wealth and honor in the future, he would still have to rely on his cheap father, Master Zhao.
No, as long as she can wear gold and silver and have servants at her beck and call, Master Zhao will be her biological father from now on!
As for the Gan family... since they don't recognize her anymore, she won't treat them as family anymore either!
As for Chen Danian, he was thinking sullenly, "This old man really does have some tricks up his sleeve. Luckily, he didn't rush to run away when the Zhao family was in dire straits!"
At this moment, Gan Li heard the news that saltpeter was in short supply in the town. After pondering for a moment, she asked Gan Mingyi to drive the cart to Baifulai.
