Now, Zheng Guo was a little curious and didn't understand what Ran Fang had to do that he needed to do.

Just as he was thinking, a guard came in carrying two plates of dumplings they had just made, and placed them respectfully in front of him.

Just when the guard came in, a unique fragrance filled the room, making people unable to help but swallow their saliva.

Although Zheng Guo had never eaten anything called dumplings, when he smelled it, he guessed that it was indeed delicious.

He looked at Ran Fang, wanting to see how he ate this thing?

Ran Fang picked up the bowl with vinegar, dipped the dumplings in the bowl, put it in his mouth and ate it with satisfaction.

After eating one, he nodded with satisfaction, turned to look at Zheng Guo, and said with a smile: "Master Zheng, you can also try it."

"Bring this plate of dumplings to Mr. Zheng."

Zheng Guo stood up quickly and saluted Ran Fang, "Thank you, commander."

Immediately, he imitated Ran Fang's eating method and ate a dumpling.

In an instant, his eyes showed joy, and he looked at Ran Fang in disbelief, as if he did not expect that this thing was so delicious.

After swallowing the dumplings, he couldn't help but praise: "This... this is really... so delicious!"

"I've never had anything this delicious!"

"This flour is so delicate and has a light meaty aroma. It's really unforgettable..."

People nowadays have never even eaten steamed buns, so how can they taste dumplings with the aroma of meat?

For a while, Zheng Guo couldn't help but eat a few more dumplings.

Ran Fang was very satisfied with his performance, which showed that his dumpling was successful, and if the flour was made, he could also make steamed buns, steamed buns and other ordinary foods.

When the time comes, he will open a restaurant in the city, which will probably attract a lot of customers.

Seeing that Ran Fang kept looking at him, Zheng Guo put down his chopsticks in embarrassment, wiped the corners of his mouth, and sat there awkwardly and awkwardly.

"Commander, these dumplings are so delicious!"

"I couldn't hold it back and made the commander laugh."

"It's okay," Ran Fang waved his hands calmly, raised his head and looked at the guards beside him, and said, "You all stand down and share the remaining dumplings with everyone."

“If it’s not enough, you can also learn to pack some yourself.”

After hearing Ran Fang's instructions, the guard saluted happily to Ran Fang and left with a little anxious pace.

After everyone around him left, Zheng Guo knew that Ran Fang wanted to tell him something.

"Sir, what exactly do you want me to do?"

He stared at Ran Fang with burning eyes, waiting for Ran Fang's order so that he could ask Ran Fang about the stone mill and other things.

Ran Fang naturally knew what he was thinking, because the expression on his face was too obvious.

"It's actually a very simple thing."

"I heard that Lord Zheng has a high prestige among the people in Guizhou. There are some things that even the chief of the pavilion cannot do. The people in Guizhou will believe what Lord Zheng says."

"So, I hope Master Zheng can go to several villages outside the city and tell the people not to sell their food to anyone."

"No matter how much money you pay, you can't sell it, just one month."

Zheng Guo was a little surprised and didn't understand why Ran Fang said this.

In his opinion, each of the leaders of Guizhou had too much to take care of themselves, so how could there be any surplus grain to sell to others?

"I'm afraid you may be overthinking it. As far as I know, they don't even have enough food at home, so how can they sell the only food they have to others?"

"Besides, Daqin has a special place to buy grain. How can anyone do private transactions?"

Not many people knew about Xiang Yu, and Ran Fang had no intention of blaming him.

But Zheng Guo's words were a bit too light. If he hadn't been warned, he probably wouldn't have taken this matter to heart.

"What if someone gives them money to buy food in the city, and then gives them part of the money?"

“So, not only do you have to tell them they can’t sell their own food, but you can’t help others buy food.”

"If you are caught by my own people, you will be punished for treason."

"Moreover, if anyone among them can provide information about someone who has come to buy food, I will reward them."

"You must do this yourself. If no one really sells food within a month, I will tell you everything you want to know."

Seeing how serious Ran Fang said it, Zheng Guo also knew that it was true and put away the casual look on his face.

He nodded seriously and straightened his back.

"good!"

"I'll do it tomorrow, and I won't let anyone sell my family's food!"

"Don't worry, Commander, you won't be disappointed!"

After speaking, he looked at Ran Fang carefully and said somewhat flatteringly: "Commander, can I finish this dumpling?"

"I'll leave after eating."

Ran Fang couldn't hold it back anymore, he laughed out loud and waved his hand: "It doesn't matter, you can eat it all."

After Zheng Guo finished eating, he touched his round belly and left Ran Fang with satisfaction.

Seeing him leaving, Liu Bang, who had been standing outside the door, walked in, saluted Ran Fang respectfully: "See you, sir."

Ran Fang nodded, looked at him and said, "Yeah."

"You heard what I just said, what do you think?"

The expression on Liu Bang's face was one of great admiration. In the past few days, he had been searching for Xiang Yu's traces outside the city. The mountain didn't look high, but it was indeed quite large.

Even with the help of Ying Zheng, they still look so insignificant in front of the mountains.

He worried about this for several days, but he did not dare to come to Ran Fang for fear of being said to be incompetent.

Now that Ran Fang has a solution, how can he be unhappy?

"Sir, this method is very wonderful."

"During the previous investigation, I heard that people would go down the mountain from time to time to buy some things, and they were worried about attracting attention. The villagers didn't have many things at home, so they bought very little."

"The Xiang family has been in the mountains for a while, and there is a lot of food on the mountains, but my lord asked his subordinates to kill all the prey in the mountains."

"All that's left are trees and some grass. They must have run out of salt during this time."

"I think they won't be able to bear it in ten days. As long as they dare to show up, my subordinates will definitely let them go and never come back!"

Although Liu Bang sometimes liked to use some tricks, he was actually very capable in dealing with Xiang Yu, so Ran Fang didn't take it too seriously.

With Liu Bang guarding at the foot of the mountain, Xiang Yu will definitely not escape, and since they want revenge, they will naturally not leave here.

If he can achieve the greatest success with the least manpower and material resources, he will naturally not let people spend so much energy searching the mountains.

If Xiang Yu can really hold back, it won't be too late to search the mountain again.

"Well, now all we have to do is wait."

"Okay, let's go down and rest."

"Don't tell Zhang Liang about this."
