Food bloggers made fortunes in ancient times

The setting sun melts gold, the evening clouds merge into one, and the evening breeze blows gently.

Aunt Niu's loud voice came from far away, but I couldn't hear what she was saying because it was too far away.

Not long after, Erlin came back carrying Yaya, followed by a tall, dark and strong young man.

The young man was Aunt Niu’s youngest son, Aniu. It was he who had gone to the county town alone and called the original owner back home.

Aniu was holding a bowl in his hand. There was something black in the bowl and he couldn't tell what was inside.

"Big Tree Brother."

As soon as Ah Niu opened his mouth, he was interrupted by Song Yan: "Wait, I changed my name to Song Yan now, from now on you can call me Brother Song or Brother Yan."

Ah Niu was confused. He just changed his name like that. But he was not a talkative person. He just did whatever Song Yan said.

So he said innocently: "Then I will call you Brother Song."

"This is the soybean paste my mother made. I'll give it to you to mix with your rice."

Song Yan did not refuse and took the bowl. The rich aroma of soybean paste wafted into her nose. She knew as soon as she smelled it that the rice must be delicious.

"Remember to thank your mother for me when you get back."

"Brother Song, you're welcome." Ah Niu scratched his head, embarrassed, "Erlin just sent us braised pork and lard, it's really a waste."

There was nothing to give in return at home, so in the end his mother scraped out a bowl of soybean paste from the bottom of the pickled vegetable jar.

My mother felt it was too embarrassing to present it, so she asked him to send it over.

"I've been away these days, and it's all up to Aunt Niu to take care of my children. If she doesn't accept a bowl of braised pork, who will?"

Song Yan said with a smile: "I took so many dishes from your family for free. If I don't give you something in return, Aunt Niu will probably complain about me being 'heartless' every day at home."

Ah Niu didn't know how to respond immediately, because his mother did curse a few words every day, such as "The debt collector from the Song family is here to ask for food again."

When Ah Niu saw Erya holding the bowl and looking at them several times, he knew that he had disturbed their meal. He smiled innocently and said, "Then I'll go back, Brother Song."

"Okay, goodbye." Song Yan waved her hand.

Ah Niu walked back home and thought to himself, Brother Song has changed so much. He now looks gentle and polite, as if he has become a completely different person.

Song Yan brought the soybean paste into the kitchen, turned around and saw the little cub in Erlin's arms. He couldn't help but raise his voice: "Yaya, do you miss your brother?"

"Ah~" Yaya pouted her pink little mouth and spit bubbles of saliva at him.

You toothless villain, you actually spit at me.

If I don’t teach you a lesson today, you won’t know who is in charge of this family.

Song Yan rolled up his sleeves, held her little face with both hands, and rubbed it gently: "See if you dare to spit at me again."

“Ahhh~Ahhh~”

Erlin was helpless. He didn't expect that his elder brother would have such a childish side.

"Brother, stop making trouble and eat first."

Song Yan held Yaya in her arms and said to him, "Give Yaya to me, you guys eat first."

Erya quickly picked up the braised pork and took a bite while it was still hot.

The braised pork was sweet and soft. The meat melted in the mouth with just a sip. Erya squinted her eyes like a cat, her little face full of satisfaction.

Mix the lard into the rice, take a bite of braised pork and a bite of lard rice, Erya's cheeks are puffed up with her mouth.

Even Erlin, who was not a greedy person, couldn't help but have a big appetite and ate three bowls of rice in a row.

Fortunately, I cooked a lot of food tonight, otherwise there wouldn’t be enough to eat.

There were no tables or chairs at home, and it was very inconvenient for the twins to eat while standing.

Song Yan said, "Let Uncle Niu help make a set of tables, chairs and benches tomorrow, and build a few cabinets."

Aunt Niu's husband was a carpenter with decent skills. Whenever a family in the village needed to buy new furniture or a daughter was getting married and needed to make a cabinet or dowry, they would ask him for help.

Seeing the worried look on Erlin's face, Song Yan smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will pay you. I made some money on this trip to the county town."

He then asked Erlin: "Do you remember which families lent us rice before? I will go with you to pay the money back tomorrow."

Erlin hesitated for a moment before saying, "I've written them all down."

Song Yan nodded: "That's fine."

After dinner, he ordered Erlin to wash the dishes. In his opinion, it was impossible for a gentleman to stay away from the kitchen. If you wanted to eat the food he fed you, you had to work hard.

He held Yaya in his arms and walked in the yard to help digest the food.

The yard is only a few square meters in size, and you only need to walk a few steps to reach the end. The place is still too small, and it will be difficult to move around if there are more people.

He was thinking about expanding the yard in a few days, and then growing some vegetables, a few fruit trees, or some grapes.

When summer comes, you can sit in the yard, enjoy the cool air, eat watermelon and drink wine.

It’s beautiful just thinking about it.

He looked up and looked at the roof. The house also needed some repairs. There was a lot of rain in the spring and the roof was always leaking. The bed was wet and he couldn't sleep at night.

A shed should also be built behind the house to raise chickens, ducks and sheep.

With this calculation, there will be a lot of work ahead.

"Little guy needs to drink milk to grow up white and plump, don't you think?" Song Yan teased Yaya.

"Awoo awoo~" Yaya waved her little fists, as if agreeing with his words.

After dark, close the door and prepare for bed.

This was the case in ancient times. There were no entertainment activities at night, and people went to bed early as soon as it got dark.

The room was pitch dark. Erlin's muffled voice rang out, "Brother, if the money is not enough, you can return it to them later."

"Don't worry about the money. Big brother still has some silver." Song Yan said with a yawn.

"Children who think too much will not grow tall."

"I'm not a child anymore." Erlin retorted subconsciously.

Song Yan replied: "When you grow as tall as me, you will be qualified to say this."

Once the business of the Thanos Gang stabilizes, I estimate that I will be able to get a lot of money, and then I can send Erlin to study.

Then he can buy a few acres of good farmland. He may not work in the fields, but he must have the land.

In feudal society, land is the root of the people.

With a few acres of land, at least I won’t starve to death.

In the past, when Song's father had some savings, he also thought about buying land.

However, Song's mother was in poor health and could not do physical work, and Song's father had to go up the mountain to hunt and had no time to take care of the fields. In addition, there was a flood at the time and the fields were almost barren, so they did not buy the house.

Later, Erlin showed a talent for studying, so Song's father used all his savings to send him to school.

The plan to buy land has been put on hold.

"After a while, I will ask the village chief to buy a few acres of land." Song Yan said, "If you want to study, I will send you to school. If you don't want to study, you can come back and help me farm."

Erlin remained silent.

Song Yan guessed that he definitely wanted to continue studying.

If you really don't want to study anymore, why would you secretly memorize the lessons at night?

Song Yan closed her eyes and thought that there were still many things to buy for the house.

For example, buy an oil lamp and a small red clay stove and put it in the house. When Yaya is hungry, you can light a fire and boil water to make rice porridge for her to drink.

Song Yan turned over, and the bed board beneath her creaked.

Oh, and this bed needs to be changed too.

I don’t know if there is enough money.

Song Yan was thinking in a daze. She was very busy all day and was really sleepy. She fell asleep quickly.

That morning, Song Yan was still woken up by the crowing of chickens next door.

When he woke up, Erlin also woke up: "Brother, I will go to the mountain with you."

"Okay, then get up quickly."

Song Yan took out the bristle toothbrush and tooth powder she bought at the market yesterday and gave one to Erlin: "Come and brush your teeth."

I gave Erya her toothbrush last night and told her to brush her teeth every morning and evening. I don’t know if there is a dentist at this time, so it is very important to protect her teeth.

The two brothers brushed their teeth and washed their faces in front of the door.

Song Yan gave Erlin two steamed buns to eat, then picked up the backpack and prepared to go up the mountain.

As soon as I walked out of the door, I saw Aunt Niu and her son Aniu coming out of the house opposite.
