After the kang was completed, the new house was completely completed. In addition, Sankui guarded the incubation room during the day, Zhang Ran felt much more relaxed.

Considering the recent construction of houses, Zhang Li's tribesmen have made a lot of efforts. Zhang Ran used his free time during the day to organize and prepare a housewarming banquet, intending to reward everyone and express his gratitude by the way.

That night, Zhang Ran invited all the villagers and elders who had come to help before to come to the banquet.

For this reason, not only did he kill all the fat sheep he bought from Xinfeng County in the past few days, but he also brought out all the wine jars at home for everyone to drink.

This housewarming banquet held by Zhang Ran is definitely a rare event for the little Zhang Li.

Therefore, basically every Zhang clan member who received the invitation came to the banquet happily.

In the evening, more than 200 people gathered in Zhang Ran's courtyard again, and the atmosphere was very lively for a while.

Against the backdrop of a blazing bonfire, large pieces of mutton, fragrant wine, delicious fish soup, fish, noodles, and big steamed buns... were all placed on the table.

Zhang Ran also told everyone loudly that this time, as usual, he would take care of his fullness and allow everyone to eat and drink to the fullest, so as to reward everyone for their help.

Before the banquet began, Zhang Ran asked Sankui to invite the old stonemason family in the name of "celebration", and said to the public that he was thanking the old stonemason family for their help. In fact, Zhang Ran's real purpose was to take this opportunity to ask Zhang Qi's situation.

Although he has been busy recently, Zhang Ran has not forgotten that guy Zhang Qi. However, in order to avoid Zhang Qi's suspicion, Zhang Ran has been holding back his failure to contact Zhang Dashi. This time he caught the opportunity and asked the old stonemason and the other two to find out.

After three rounds of dishes and five flavors, Zhang Ran came to the old stonemason under his toast name, raised the wine cup and drank it with him, lowered his head and whispered to him: "Second uncle, what's the situation now? Did that guy Zhang Qi continue to cause trouble for you?"

The old stonemason smacked his lips, put down the wine cup, and replied in a low voice: "Since you agreed to give Zhang Qixin's stone mill according to your wishes, he has not continued to threaten us. But he has not let us go. He basically sent someone to urge us every day, so that we can make the stone mill as soon as possible and send it to him."

He looked up and found that Zhang Ran's face did not show any unpleasant expression. The old stonemason plucked up his courage and said, "Brother Ran! Zhang Qi was very anxious. I tried to refuse, but I was afraid I couldn't last long! Brother Ran, you have always had many ideas, can you think of another way to help me?"

After hearing this, Zhang Ran silently held his mouth shut, picked up the wine cup and took a sip of wine. After a while, he replied lightly: "Since you can't take it off, then follow the normal procedure to make him a stone mill!"

"This...will this be too cheap?" the old stonemason said hesitantly.

"It's okay~" Zhang Ran waved his hand and suddenly sneered: "Since he is seeking death himself, I will help him early! Haha... I have already sold this secret recipe for pasta to the nobles in Chang'an City, and the things are already owned by others.

For the sake of my inventor, that nobleman made an exception to allow me to continue to run the pasta business, but no one else allowed to do it! Zhang Qi was greedy and hadn't found out about the future. He wanted to make a rash attempt to get profits. He asked the nobleman if he had?

Humph, you are not very good-looking and have a lot of courage. How dare you get involved in what other people's family, Chang'an Guiren? He is worthy of it?"

"This..." Hearing Zhang Ran say this, the old stonemason sweated coldly. He trembled and picked up the wine bowl, took a sip of the wine, and asked Zhang Ran carefully: "Brother Ran, listen to my son, the noble man you mentioned lives in Shangguanli, Chang'an City, I don't know where it comes from?"

"Um~" Zhang Ran put down the wine cup and shook his head and said, "Fourth uncle, I dare not disclose the specific identity of this nobleman. I can only tell you one thing, this nobleman is a relative of the Han Dynasty and his surname is Liu..."

"Ah? Han Dynasty sect..." The old stonemason exclaimed, and halfway through his words, he hurriedly covered his mouth, trembling all over, and said quietly: "Brother Ran, how could you get into such a big man? Can such a big man fall in love with a lowly thing made of wheat flour?"

"Fourth uncle, it's flour, not wheat flour!" Zhang Ran corrected the name of the old stonemason, and then said to him seriously: "You must have tasted noodles and steamed buns made of flour! Although it may not be as good as the delicacies, the taste is definitely much better than ordinary steamed cakes, right?

I can’t guarantee that people like this after tasting our noodles or steamed buns? Otherwise, why would they be willing to spend a full ten gold to buy my prescription?”

The old stonemason exclaimed: "Ten golds...will that be a hundred thousand yuan? My God~"

Zhang Ran laughed and smiled, "Fourth uncle, if that noble man had not bought my prescription for ten gold, how could I get the money to build so many new houses? He also invited everyone to eat meat and drink wine with big hands!"

"So that's it, so that's it..." The old stonemason looked down at the clear fresh and plum wine in the wine cup, and couldn't help but realize that some of the previous confusions were solved at once and all of them were figured out.

Zhang Ran patted the dust on his butt, stood up and smiled at the old stonemason, "So, No. 4, you don't have to worry about that guy Zhang Qi at all. If he urges him to hurry, just grind the new stone to him! At that time, I want to see how he touched his head and was bleeding!"

"Oh...what should I do this~" After Zhang Ran left, the old stonemason couldn't help but sigh, feeling a little confused, and didn't know if he should reveal the news he heard today to the clan leader Zhang Li's family...

......

"Oh~ Am I getting bad?" After leaving the old stonemason, Zhang Ran touched his chin and sighed thoughtfully.

To be honest, using words to threaten and intimidate an old man, especially an old man with a pretty good character, is really unauthorized.

But in order to get Zhang Qi into the trap, Zhang Ran had to do this bad decision.

Zhang Qi is obviously a candy. If he doesn't find something for him, Zhang Ran is also worried that he will destroy or disrupt his future plans.

After dealing with the matter of the old stonemason, Zhang Ran walked into the crowd with a wine cup, mingled with the male tribesmen in Zhangli to brag, drink wine, etc.

Zhang Ran would never let this opportunity to greatly enhance the relationship between Zhang Ran and the Zhang Li tribe, and his purpose of holding this housewarming banquet was officially the same.

The dinner lasted for nearly two hours while we were cheering and changing cups.
