Food bloggers made fortunes in ancient times

On the third day of the Lunar New Year, the sky suddenly became clear, and the early winter sun poured down from the horizon, shining brightly and sweeping away the haze of the past few days.

Song Yan faced the rising sun and said with a smile: "Good luck is coming, today is a good day."

An Qi passed by holding a litter of kittens and glanced at the young man climbing the ladder: "Brother Song, how about I do it?"

Song Yan said: "I'll get it done quickly."

"Brother, where should I hang the plaque given by County Magistrate Lin?"

Song Yan quickly hung the red lantern in her hand on the eaves, turned her head and saw Song Zhengdu coming in carrying a plaque with the words "Tiger-Fighting Hero".

He was embarrassed and scratched his head: "Just hang it...hang it on the door."

After all, this was a plaque presented by County Magistrate Lin himself, and it could at least deter some villains.

"Give it to me." Song Yan reached out to take the plaque, called An Qi for help, and hung the plaque on the door of the main hall.

He came down from the ladder, stood in the courtyard, and looked up.

The sunlight just happened to shine on the plaque, and the powerful characters seemed to be covered by a layer of golden light under the sunlight, and the words were shining.

Song Yan nodded with satisfaction, and didn't seem so embarrassed anymore.

"Brother Song." Ah Niu came in carrying cabinets, "How should these cabinets be arranged?"

Song Yan lent a hand and said, "Put it next to the bed."

The doors and windows of the new house have all been installed, and there are only some furniture left to be put in.

It's a good opportunity for us to move into the new house together today.

Inside the house, Uncle Niu was installing a wooden bed.

There is a kang in each of the left and right wing rooms of the main house, and the other rooms are equipped with wooden beds. It is just right to sleep on the kang in winter and on the bed in summer.

Song Wanzhou carried the bedding and spread it on the kang bed.

She looked around the spacious and bright new house, and her joy finally came true. She couldn't help but pick up Yaya, and they both threw themselves on the bed, rolling happily in the bedding.

Yaya frowned and protested: "Ugh~"

Song Wanzhou then stopped and covered her mouth with her hands, laughing: "Yaya, I'm so happy!"

Song Yan heard Song Wanzhou's laughter from the next room through the wall and couldn't help but smile and shake her head.

He put all the cabinets in order and then went to take a look in the kitchen.

At this time, the kitchen was also busy. Aunt Niu led a few aunts to wash and cut vegetables to prepare for today's banquet.

The chef invited by Song Yan also arrived early.

Aunt Niu is okay at cooking ordinary home-cooked dishes, but she still lacks some skills when it comes to making the main dishes for banquets.

As the host, Song Yan had to entertain guests and had no time to stay in the kitchen to cook, so she had to ask someone for help.

This chef was introduced by someone. His surname is Chen. He is good at cooking local cuisine, especially his braised pork, which is praised by everyone who has tasted it.

Song Yan finally spent some time drawing up the menu for the banquet with Master Chen.

Apart from the main dishes such as chicken, duck, fish and meat, the rest are vegetarian dishes.

But the vegetarian dishes available in winter were limited, with only radishes and cabbages, so he asked Uncle Zhengming to order ten kilograms of tofu two days in advance and fried it into fried tofu.

The last time I went to Thanos, I brought back some bean curd sheets. I will make a dish of bean curd sheets and dried bamboo shoots, which will make a total of nine dishes.

He went to town yesterday and bought more than ten pounds of lamb spine, planning to use them to make soup today.

With this combination of meat and vegetables, and broth, the whole banquet looks more decent.

Song Yan came in, greeted Master Chen, and said to the aunts, "Thank you for your hard work today."

Aunt Niu said, "Xiao Song, go and do your own thing. You don't need to greet us. Guests will be here soon."

"Okay, aunties, please get busy first." Song Yan said and walked out.

As soon as Song Yan left, Aunt Sun said with a smile: "Little Song is becoming more and more capable now."

Aunt Wang, who was washing radishes nearby, suddenly said, "Such a big house must cost a hundred taels of silver."

Master Chen interrupted, "One hundred taels of silver? How can that be possible? It has to be at least this amount." He pointed up a few fingers.

The other aunts gasped and couldn't help but envy: "The girl who married Xiao Song is blessed."

Aunt Wang's eyes flickered a few times, she lowered her head and washed the radishes silently.

The aunts who came to help this time were all invited by Aunt Niu. Seeing that Aunt Wang was efficient, she asked her to help.

How could she know that Aunt Wang had planned to marry her daughter to Song Yan? After all, only Aunt Sun knew about this at the time.

Aunt Wang didn't want to come at first, but when she heard that those who came to help would be paid ten cents, she agreed to come.

"But it's not that much." Aunt Niu said quickly, "Xiao Song also borrowed a lot of money from others."

This was Shitou's explanation. When he was beating up those bald-eyed guys, he had already said that Song Yan didn't have much money left in his pocket.

But not long after, Song Yan built another big yard. So what he said before was false, right?

Shitou was so worried that his hair fell out. He could only make up a story that Song Yan had borrowed the money from someone.

No matter whether the bald-eyed people believe it or not, they will say so whenever someone asks.

Therefore, when Aunt Niu spoke, everyone was half-believing and half-doubting: "Why not just build a few main houses? Why bother borrowing money to build an extra yard?"

Aunt Niu simply made up a bunch of nonsense: "Xiao Song is planning to get married next year. The girl is very good-looking, like a lady from a wealthy family, so she must have a decent home."

When Aunt Wang heard this, she almost dropped the radish in her hand. She felt mixed emotions, envious and a little unwilling.

"Whose family is that girl from?" Aunt Li asked curiously, the kitchen knife in her hand dancing on the radish with swift and skillful movements.

Aunt Niu said vaguely, "From the Shu family." Then she praised Miss Shu again and again.

Aunt Wang's face became uglier and uglier, and the imbalance in her heart became stronger and stronger. Although her daughter had never been to school, she was also diligent and capable. How could she not be as good as others?

"Okay, okay, let's stop talking about this and get back to work." Aunt Sun saw that Aunt Wang was in a bad mood and quickly changed the subject, "Hurry up and cut all the radishes. We have to prepare a banquet for lunch."

Everyone responded and continued to work.

Today is both the day of raising the beam and the day of moving into a new house, so naturally it has to be done in a lively manner.

Song Yan specially invited familiar families in the village, including the Niu family, Uncle Dazhu's family, and Quanzi and his family.

Those who are close include Shu Changsheng, Dongsheng's family, and He Fang and his wife. Those who are far away include Brother Ying and his gang from Thanos, plus Lin Yifeng.

He came out and looked at the sky, estimating that it was almost 9:00 p.m. and it was about time to put up the beams.

At this time, guests also arrived one after another.

The first to arrive were Shu's father and mother and their family.
