Food bloggers made fortunes in ancient times

That day, Song Yan got up a little later than usual. After a quick breakfast, he went to the river to fetch water.

I happened to run into Goudan and a few other little kids playing in the river.

Song Yan was so scared that she trembled with fear, especially because there was a very deep section in the river. It was said that a child had drowned there before.

"Why are you here to play by the river again?" Song Yan asked calmly with a smile on her face.

"We are catching small fish," answered an older child.

Song Yan did not reprimand them, nor did he order them to go home immediately. He knew that children of this age were the most rebellious, and blindly prohibiting them would only backfire.

Song Yan suddenly had an idea and changed her tone and said, "Let me see how much you got?"

Seeing that the children's winnowing baskets were filled with small fish and shrimps, he couldn't help but exclaimed: "Wow, so many! It's amazing!"

The fur kids looked proud and said, "Of course we fished for the whole morning."

"You guys can't finish eating so much." Song Yan asked.

"It's used to feed the chickens." The little boy answered truthfully.

Song Yan suddenly had an idea: "It's a waste to feed the chickens. How about this, you give me the fish and shrimp, and I'll make you a delicious meal."

"Really?" The little kids' eyes lit up.

They had all tasted the pork jerky made by Song Yan before, and the delicious aroma of the meat was still unforgettable to them.

When they told the adults about it after returning home, they didn't believe them and said they were lying.

Humph, they won’t lie.

"All for you." The little kids handed a basket of small fish and shrimp to Song Yan without hesitation.

Song Yan accepted it with a smile: "Then I'll take it back. Remember to come over for lunch at noon."

"I know~" the little kids answered in unison.

Song Yan persuaded all the children to go back home, then she carried a winnowing basket full of fish and shrimps, carried a bucket, and staggered back home.

When he got home, Erlin saw Song Yan coming back with a basket of fish and shrimps, and asked curiously, "Brother, did you go fishing in the river?"

"It was given to me by the children in the village." Song Yan explained, "I thought it was too dangerous for them to play in the river, so I coaxed them to come ashore."

"But we can't take their fish and shrimp for nothing. I promised to treat them to lunch at noon."

After hearing this, Erlin couldn't help but pursed his lips and smiled.

Take out half of the fresh river shrimps, wash them with water, marinate them with salt and Huadiao wine to remove the fishy smell, then cut some ginger, garlic and green onions.

Then they started to process the small fish. They removed the internal organs of all the fish and left a small half, which they put in a dustpan and placed in the yard to dry.

Add salt, ginger, garlic and pepper to the rest, then pour in Huadiao wine, marinate it, coat it with flour and fry it in a pan. It is another delicious dish to go with rice.

When Song Yan was busy in the kitchen, he suddenly heard a cat's meow, and then his dog Sheng also started barking.

Song Yan quickly washed his hands and walked quickly outside, only to see a tabby cat squatting at his door, and Gou Sheng barking at it non-stop.

"Gousheng, don't be so rude." Song Yan walked over and gently kicked Gousheng, then said to the tabby cat in a pinch, "Maomao, why are you here again?"

Gousheng didn't expect that his master had two faces and treated him differently. He let out a "woop" in grievance.

Song Yan ignored the angry dog ​​and invited the tabby cat into the yard.

He took out an old bowl with a hole in it, grabbed a handful of fresh river shrimps and small fish, fried them in a pan, and made a bowl of fragrant rice for the tabby cat.

Song Yan put the bowl on the ground and said to the tabby cat, "Eat it."

The tabby cat first came over to sniff it, and then began to eat gracefully.

When Gousheng saw this scene, he became even more angry and made a warning sound at the tabby cat.

The tabby cat glanced at it coldly and noblely, and suddenly raised its paw. Gousheng was startled and his big, silly eyes widened.

Song Yan couldn't bear to watch it anymore, this stupid dog.

After scaring Gousheng, the tabby cat continued to eat slowly and leisurely.

After finishing a bowl of rice, the tabby cat licked its paws, meowed twice to Song Yan to express its gratitude, and then left gracefully.

Looking at the back of the tabby cat as it left, Song Yan realized belatedly that he seemed to have been taken advantage of for free.

A bowl of rice was given for free, but I didn't even touch a hair.

Alas! I miscalculated.

You should touch it first.

However, Song Yan had a hunch that the cat would come to his house again to ask for food next time.

When the time comes, I will hug the big cat and stroke its fur.

Song Yan returned to the kitchen to continue preparing lunch.

Put a few large spoons of lard in the pot, then drain the water from the marinated river shrimps, put them in the pot and fry them until the shell becomes golden and crispy, then take them out.

Then put the small fish coated with flour into the pan and fry them.

Suddenly, he felt something hooking his foot. Song Yan knew without looking that it was Gousheng causing trouble again.

Song Yan threatened: "If you keep making trouble, I won't give you any food later."

Gousheng immediately tucked his tail between his legs and ran away.

After the small fish is fried, drain the oil from the pan, leaving a little oil in the pan, put the chopped ginger and garlic into the pan, and when the aroma comes out, pour the fried river shrimp into the pan and stir-fry.

Finally, sprinkle with sesame seeds, coriander and chopped green onions and serve.

Finally, I smashed a few cucumbers and made a cold dish.

At lunchtime, several children came to the door with bowls containing rice and vegetables.

"Wow, it smells so good!"

As soon as we entered the yard, we smelled the delicious aroma wafting from the kitchen. The children were so greedy that their mouths were watering and they felt that the food in their bowls was tasteless.

Seeing that there was still rice in their bowls, Song Yan asked, "Why did you bring rice with you?"

Goudan pouted and said, "I said that the big brother who killed the tiger invited us to dinner, but my mother refused to believe me and told me to eat and then go out to play. I took the food and ran away."

The other kids also said, “Me too.”

"My mother told me to stop dreaming." A child stomped his feet in anger.

Song Yan didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he heard this. He said, "Okay, let's eat first."

Song Yan put a handful of fried fish and scared river shrimp into each of their bowls with chopsticks, and immediately added a few pieces of cold cucumber, filling their bowls to the brim.

The meat of river shrimp is plump and the shell is crispy. When you bite the shell of river shrimp lightly in your mouth, it makes a "crunch, crunch" sound.

The fried fish is coated with flour, which is fragrant and crispy, while the fish meat inside is firm and becomes more fragrant the more you chew it.

The small fish are fried in oil and the bones are fried crispy. Children can eat it without worrying about getting stuck by the fish bones.

The children were so busy eating that they had no time to talk.

After eating a big bowl of rice, the children's stomachs were bloated and they started burping.

With rice still hanging from the corners of his mouth, Goudan said to Song Yan, "Big brother, we'll go catch fish for you tomorrow."

"Don't do that." Song Yan didn't want to let them misunderstand after cooking a meal for them, so he said seriously, "If you still want to eat delicious food, you can't go down to the river again."

The little kids looked disappointed and asked in a long voice: "Ah~ Why?"

Song Yan opened his mouth and said, "Because all the small fish and shrimps in the river belong to me, and I am the only one who can go down to the river and catch them. Do you understand?"

"Ah~" Goudan said doubtfully, "But I saw Uncle Daqiao also went down to the river to catch fish."

Song Yan said nonsense again: "All the fish caught in the bridge are handed over to me. Okay, you are not allowed to go down to the river to steal my fish, otherwise you will never eat the food I cook."

The little kid actually believed the nonsense and nodded, promising, "We will never steal big brother's fish again."

Erlin and Erya, who were standing by, couldn't help but cover their mouths and laugh when they heard him fooling the children.

After sending the little kids away, Song Yan first supervised Erya to memorize the new characters, and then played with Yaya for a while.

The sun was scorching outside, and even sitting in the house made one sweat profusely. Song Yan was even more reluctant to go out at this time, so he took Yaya and lay on the cool mat to take a nap.

The daytime passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, night fell and the sky became pitch black.

The night wind brought a little chill, and Song Yan carried Yaya out for a walk and came back.

He closed the gate of the yard, picked up the oil lamp, walked into the kitchen, and rinsed himself with cold water.

If you don't take a shower in such hot weather, your body will smell of sweat, which is really unbearable.

After taking a bath, Song Yan returned to the room, climbed onto the bed, and was about to turn on "Revisiting the Imperial Examination Road" to continue killing time when he was interrupted by a sudden knock on the door.

Erlin was about to get up to open the door, but Song Yan gently stopped him, "I'll go."

Song Yan walked to the yard and raised her voice to ask, "Who is it so late at night?"

Then, a deliberately low voice came from outside: "Brother Song, it's me, Aniu!"
