Chapter 87
"Li Yannian!?"
When Li Yannian brought people to Zhangli and knocked on the door of Zhang Ran's house, Zhang Ran was shocked and surprised when he saw the other party after opening the door.
Looking at Li Yannian, who was standing in front of him, wearing armor, holding the hilt of the sword, and following several burly men, Zhang Ran frowned and said, "What are you here to do?"
Li Yannian clasped his fists and said, "According to the order of my husband, I will come to visit Xiaolang!"
"visit?"
When Zhang Ran heard that it was Liu Ling's order again, he was so angry that he couldn't help but look dark and said sarcastically: "What? Your master has changed his mind again, so he sent you to arrest me again?"
Li Yannian shook his head and said, "Xiao Lang misunderstood. This time my husband's boss has no intention of making things difficult for Xiao Lang."
"Don't make things difficult for me? Don't make things difficult for me, then you are both a sword and a sword. Why do you do such a big battle?"
Zhang Ran didn't believe Li Yannian's words.
Even if Zhang Ran was stupid, he could see the other party's fully armed appearance and knew that the other party was not kind.
However, today is different from the past. Now Zhang Ran is no longer the ignorant young man at the beginning of time travel.
During this period, after Zhang Ran's conscious and painstaking efforts, he had already gained a lot of reputation in Zhang Li and gathered some of his own teams.
What's more, this is Zhang Li, Zhang Ran's own territory, not Chang'an City. With hundreds of tribesmen behind Zhang Li, Zhang Ran is not worried that Li Yannian and others would shout and kill or do other "irrational" actions.
In general, Zhang Ran is no longer the soft persimmon that can be kneaded by others.
Therefore, even though he knew that the other party was not good, Zhang Ran did not look too afraid.
Seeing that the other party didn't say anything for a long time, Zhang Ran couldn't help but curl his lips and said, "Since you are not here to catch me, then please invite me back! I'm very busy and don't have time to entertain you!"
As he said that, Zhang Ran opened the door and turned him away.
"Let's wait!"
Li Yannian quickly took two steps forward, rushed to Zhang Ran before Zhang Ran closed, stared at Zhang Ran face to face, and bowed: "Xiao Lang, my husband's house recently heard that he had made two new delicacies, so he copied someone to buy some and sent them to the mansion. After tasting it, he felt that the taste was very beautiful and he loved it very much.
So I sent me to ask Xiaolang if your recipe is still sold?"
After hearing Li Yannian's answer, Zhang Ran couldn't help but sneer: "Ha, it turns out that he is interested in my prescription! I said that the weasel wishes the chicken a New Year - it turns out that he is not at ease!"
Zhang Ran didn't expect that Liu Ling's news was so well-versed. He had just started selling flour a few days ago. Liu Ling received the news and sent someone to come to him!
What's even more annoying is that the other party actually entered their gathering in a swagger, and Zhang Li's inner sect prison did not respond much, and he didn't even have a warning!
"Damn Zhang Li, I know that nepotism can benefit his family. What kind of smelly sweet potatoes and rotten bird eggs are all chosen? Is it useless?"
Zhang Ran cursed in his heart, and at the same time he hated the clan leader Jianli Zheng's family who controls Zhangli's affairs.
If it weren't for Zhang Li's Limen's jail, and he would only eat but not work, it would not have played the role it should have. How could Li Yannian and his party break in so easily? I'm afraid he would have been stopped by someone outside the house!
If you have a family like this, you will only benefit. The patriarch who is indifferent to personnel, the Zhang clan in Shangyuli is really in trouble.
Now that Li Yannian has brought people to come, Zhang Ran has no choice but to deal with this path head-on.
"Do you want to call people and drive these guys out?"
Zhang Ran stared at Li Yannian's calm face and thought inwardly.
"No, no, too risky"
Seeing Li Yannian having six guards, Zhang Ran knew that just by the boys in the backyard, he was afraid that he would not be his opponent at all.
What's more, the other party said that there was no malice. Whether it was true or false, Zhang Ran was unwilling to let these teenagers take the risk to fight against Li Yannian's sword before his life was threatened.
"Let's hear what they want to do!"
Although I was very dissatisfied with Li Yannian's behavior of forcing him to come to the door without notice, the situation was stronger than others. If Zhang Ran didn't want to turn against him on the spot, he could only endure the resentment in his heart and said to Li Yannian and others: "The person who came is a guest, please come in and talk!"
"Thank you!"
Li Yannian hugged his fists, hesitated for a moment, then turned to his followers beside him and said, "Li Da, come in with me, and the rest are left to stand by!"
"Here!"
The six guards answered in unison.
...
After invited Li Yannian and the others into the yard and sat down, Zhang Ran asked him: "Your master sent you here this time just to buy my secret recipe?"
"Not bad!" Li Yannian replied lightly: "My husband said that Xiaolang is willing to sell the money for the loss, so my husband is willing to buy it with a lot of money!"
"What if I don't want to sell it?" Zhang Ran asked with his eyes clear.
Li Yanyan glanced at Zhang Ran, and then replied very seriously: "The master may be very unhappy!"
"Is she happy or not?" The mocking words blurted out, but just halfway through, Zhang Ran suddenly saw Li Yannian's cold expression, and his hand suddenly pressed on the hilt of the sword. He couldn't help but feel a sudden burst in his heart, and the second half of the words were swallowed into his stomach.
After a long time of grunting, I put in a sentence: "How much is your master willing to pay?"
"Ten Gold!" Li Yannian slowly moved his hand away from the hilt of the sword, slowly reached to Zhang Ran's eyes, opened his big hand, and gestured, "When he came, the master asked me to bring a full ten gold. If the little man was willing to give Fangzi, then the ten gold was delivered on the spot."
"It's another ten gold? Is your husband really generous?"
While speaking, Zhang Ran's mind changed rapidly and quickly thought about the purpose behind Liu Ling's actions.
Logically speaking, the recipe for steamed buns and noodles can indeed make a lot of money, but it is not worth buying Liu Ling with ten gold medals!
What's more, with Liu Ling's wealth and status, do you still need to make money by selling steamed buns?
Since it is not used to make money, why did Liu Ling send Li Yannian to bring this huge sum of money to buy his prescription?
"The world is bustling, all for profit; the world is bustling, all for profit. With Liu Ling's status, what she wants is nothing more than fame and fortune. Since she is not for profit, it must be for fame!"
Isn't this guy seeing that steamed buns and noodles are made of wheat flour, and I think it's an opportunity, so I want to use the same trick again and buy it for an invitation to buy fame?
The longer he grew, the more he felt it was possible. Zhang Ran couldn't help but curse in his heart: "Liu Ling is really bullying people too much. He can use the labor and capital sheep to pick up the wool. He is not afraid of getting the labor and capital to get angry. Is it biting her? Isn't it so soulless?"
"Don't let me catch the opportunity, otherwise I must let the girl know why the flowers are so red!" Zhang Ran thought gritted his teeth.
However, no matter how much you scold, you still have to face the problems you should face. Although you have already cursed in your heart, Zhang Ran still smiled at Li Yannian on the surface and said, "Brother Li, you came from afar. If I don't give you a satisfactory explanation, I'm afraid you won't give up.
So, let’s just open the skylight and say something bright! With the dignity of your husband, I guess he doesn’t like the hard money you get from selling steamed buns.
Life is nothing more than fame and fortune. Since your master is not for profit, it must be for fame!"
When Li Yannian heard this, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and warned softly: "Don't say anything wrong, why is my husband?..."
"Don't rush to deny it first!" Zhang Ran waved his hand, interrupted Li Yannian directly, and asked back, "Did you forget? The person who gave advice to your master last time was me! Is there anyone in the world who knows the purpose better than me, the one who gave advice?
Whether it is the so-called milk or steamed bun, after all, the ultimate goal is that they can make your husband’s master famous?”
"..." This question is difficult to answer, so Li Yannian chose to remain silent.
Looking at Li Yannian's silent appearance, Zhang Ran knew that this time he probably guessed it.
So he continued, "Speaking of this, fame is really useless to a small person like me. You cannot eat when you are hungry and cannot wear when you are cold. It is not as good as a bowl of corn rice.
If we could use it for some money, it would be a good thing for us!”
After a pause, Zhang Ran sighed: "It's just that Brother Li came too late. Unlike the last time when tofu, this time, whether it was steamed buns or noodles, it had spread throughout Xinfeng and even the surrounding county towns. It would be too late to stop it! Even if I am willing to sell the prescription to you, I'm afraid you won't be able to use it!"
When Li Yannian heard Zhang Ran's words, he felt a little sank. Before coming, he went to Xinfeng County and saw the crowds of Zhang Ji restaurants with his own eyes. He also bought a steamed bun and noodles to taste them. So it was clear that what Zhang Ran said was not a refusal, but the truth was really.
However, due to the facts, Li Yannian must complete the tasks assigned by Liu Ling.
So, Li Yannian sank his face and said, "So, Xiaolang doesn't want to sell it?"
Seeing this, Zhang Ran couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "It's not that I don't want to sell it, but that I can't help myself! Brother Li, I'm not hiding it! Although the wheat flour used to make steamed buns looks quite similar to ordinary wheat flour, the two are actually very different.
If you want to make wheat flour that can steam buns, you must carefully grind it with my newly improved stone mill, and then screen it multiple times to remove impurities, so that you can get pure wheat flour. I call this pure wheat flour flour flour. This process is extremely cumbersome and requires a large number of people to work together. It is impossible for me alone to do it.
Therefore, in order to ensure sufficient flour, I taught the new stone mill production method to some relatives and friends, and asked them to help produce flour together. Therefore, I cannot guarantee whether the stone mill production method has been spread!
In this case, if I sell the prescription to the owner at a high price, wouldn’t I betray the owner? No matter how brave I am, I have a few more brains, enough for the owner to cut it off?"
