That evening, Xiao Yi delivered another package containing twenty taels of silver and a lump of iron the size of a goose egg!
"This is a piece of iron left over from forging short swords and spears. It's a bit small, but take it and see if you can forge the scalpel you mentioned. Also, take some silver with you.
