Food bloggers made fortunes in ancient times

After cleaning the yard, Song Yan hurried to feed the cattle and sheep at home.

Soak the wheat straw in hot water to soften it, then mix it with some bean cake residue and coarse salt. This is usually a good thing for cattle and sheep to eat in winter.

Song Yan carried the heavy bucket and walked to the cowshed. The cow smelled the food and started mooing.

Pour the hay into the trough and the cow can't wait to eat it, chewing it in her mouth.

The two lambs were jostling for the few fresh grasses available.

Seeing the animals eating with relish, Song Yan felt more at ease.

After all, these cattle and sheep are important assets of the family, and the farmland and milk production in the spring depend on them.

Although the New Year has passed, the weather is still very cold, with the wind blowing hard. Even though I am wearing a thick sheepskin coat, I can still feel a slight chill.

After feeding the cattle and sheep, Song Yan went to add some food to the donkeys in the donkey pen.

Then Song Yan took a broom and cleaned the goose nest, clearing away the goose droppings, and then the sheep pen.

After finishing all this, beads of sweat had already appeared on Song Yan's forehead. He raised his hand to wipe it off, thinking that there was too much housework to do.

He thought that he needed to find someone to help him.

Otherwise, I would be busy with these trivial and heavy tasks all day long and would never have a moment to relax.

But being busy has its advantages. At least you don’t have to think about those bad things.

As soon as he thought of this, Shitou came to his door and asked him when the pond in the backyard would be dug. After spring, everyone had to work in the fields and there was no time to work.

Song Yan became very angry when he looked at the backyard that he had spent nearly two hundred taels of silver to build.

Shu Changyu is a liar!

Shitou saw Song Yan gritting her teeth and scratched his head: "Is there a problem?"

Song Yan squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth: "Let's not dig the pond for now, we'll talk about it later."

Who knows if there will be a future after this.

At noon, the sky gradually became gloomy, and by evening, snowflakes began to fall.

When I woke up the next day, I found that the world outside the window was covered in silver.

Song Yan pushed open the window, and a biting cold wind mixed with snowflakes blew in his face, and he couldn't help but shiver.

He quickly dressed and walked out of the room.

The snow in the yard was already above his ankles. He walked towards the woodshed, one step deep and one step shallow, ready to pick up the tools to clear the snow.

He brought out a ladder, climbed up the steps to the roof, and began to clear the thick snow.

Song Wanzhou looked at the swaying figure on the roof, his heart in his throat, and shouted anxiously: "Brother, slow down, don't fall!"

Song Yan replied, "I know, don't worry about it!"

After finally clearing the snow off the roof, Song Yan slowly climbed down the ladder. His hands and feet were numb from the cold, and he stomped on the ground before he finally regained some feeling.

For breakfast, she cooked the leftover dumplings from last night and was too lazy to make lunch. After sweeping the snow all morning, Song Yan felt sore all over.

He cut half a piece of sausage and ate it directly with rice. It was simple and delicious.

After a while, the rice was ready.

Song Yan opened the lid of the pot and saw that the rice grains were full and the fat from the sausage evenly wrapped around each grain of rice, with an attractive color.

He didn't care about the burn and took a quick bite.

At that moment, the softness of the rice and the salty fragrance of the sausage blended in his mouth. The chewiness of the sausage and its unique flavor mixed with the sweetness of the rice made Song Yan sigh with satisfaction, and he felt that most of the fatigue in his body had dissipated.

He ate with big mouthfuls, and soon, the bowl of rice was empty. But the taste was still lingering on the tip of his tongue, making him unable to resist filling another bowl.

At this time, the snow outside began to fall again. Song Yan looked out the door, thinking that after this snow, spring should not be far away.

Not long after finishing the meal, there was a knock on the door.

"Xiao Song, are you home?"

Whose voice is that?

"Here they are." Song Yan hurried to open the door, and saw He Fang and Li Li standing at the door, with a lot of snowflakes falling on their bodies.

"Come in quickly, it's so cold." Song Yan let them into the house, unloaded the donkey cart first, and pulled the donkey to the next door to keep his donkey company.

Passing by the sheepfold, He Fang saw two lambs inside and raised his eyebrows: "Wow, these lambs are quite strong."

Song Yan smiled and said, "Of course not. I take good care of her every day."

But this was still Ah Qi's credit, and Song Yan didn't feel any pain at all when giving Ah Qi 10 taels of silver as wages.

The three of them walked into the house and shook off the snow on their bodies. Song Yan quickly poured them some hot water to warm them up.

Then we sat around the brazier, the hot air hitting our faces immediately dispelled the coldness in our bodies.

Song Yan stretched out his hands to warm himself by the fire and said, "I have asked a friend to go to Nanyang Prefecture to buy mountain sheep. I will expand the sheep pen next month."

"Brother Li, you have also seen the livestock shed. There are cows, sheep, and donkeys. I really can't handle it all by myself. I need help. If you have made up your mind, come and help me take care of it first."

Li Li nodded: "Okay, I'll pack up and come over tomorrow."

When Song Yan heard this, a happy smile immediately appeared on her face: "Brother Li, that's great. I feel much more relieved to have your help."

"As for wages, it's two coins a month for now. If I can sell wool yarn after shearing the sheep, I'll give you the processing fee."

Li Li smiled heartily, showing his big white teeth, and said, "Okay, I'll follow you to get rich."

After finishing the business, Song Yan wanted to invite the two of them to have dinner.

He Fang waved his hand: "No, my wife is still waiting for me at home, let's talk about it next time when we have the chance."

Li Li also said, "I have to go back and pack my luggage and come here early tomorrow morning."

While the snow stopped, the two hurried away.

The next day, just as the sun rose, Li Li appeared at the door of the Song family with his luggage.

"Brother Li, come in!" Song Yan greeted warmly.

Li Li put down his luggage and started working with Song Yan, feeding the livestock, giving them water, and cleaning the sheds, without stopping for a moment.

It took half an hour to finish all the work.

"Brother, have you had breakfast?" Song Yan asked.

Li Li touched his stomach and said, "I didn't have time to eat. I rushed here so early in the morning."

"Then come in and eat something. I made breakfast."

The two men walked into the house. There was porridge simmering in the pot. Song Yan quickly served him a bowl of rice.

Li Li didn't hesitate and sat down and started eating.

At this time, Song Wanzhou also got up and skipped into the kitchen. Seeing a stranger coming into the house, she quickly stopped and showed a little surprise on her face.

Song Yan introduced with a smile: "This is my second sister Song Wanzhou, and this is Brother Li Li, who is here to help us take care of the livestock."

Song Wanzhou smiled and called out, "Brother Li."

Li Li also replied: "Hello, sister Wanzhou."

After he was full, he put down his bowl and chopsticks, wiped his mouth and asked, "Xiao Song, where do I live?"

Song Yan wanted Li Li to live in the right wing, as the left side was occupied by Song Wanzhou and her sister, so it would be inappropriate for Li Li, a grown man, to live there.

As for the backyard...

Song Yan felt a headache whenever she thought of Shu Changyu.

Then only the right wing can be lived in.

Li Li shook his head: "I am a temporary worker for your family, how can I live in the main house?"

"You have two huts over there, so I'll live there."
