Food bloggers made fortunes in ancient times

On the way from the town to the village, the air was filled with the smell of freshly turned earth. The snow on the roadside gradually melted under the warm sun, revealing the slightly green grass underneath.

The mountains in the distance also lost their winter white, revealing a faint green.

After leaving the city, Ah Niu was still wondering, "Brother Song, why did Manager Feng give in so easily?"

He thought that Manager Feng would make things difficult for him, after all, he was a notorious miser.

Song Yan smiled and said, "Manager Feng is a smart man. He knows that I have a clear understanding of the situation of this land and his attitude is firm. If he doesn't give in, this land may never be sold."

"Besides, he's also afraid that I'll really go find someone knowledgeable to judge the case, and then he'll be in trouble."

"Why?" Aniu still looked confused.

Song Yan patiently explained, "Aniu, think about it. He knows the actual situation of this land. If he finds someone who knows the business, the price will definitely be lower, and he will get less benefit."

"Also, guess why this land has not been sold?" Song Yan said.

Li Li seemed to have thought of something and his expression became strange.

Ah Niu was bewildered and said, "There is nothing wrong with the land. Why can't it be sold? Brother Li, do you know?"

Li Li looked at Song Yan and said slowly, "Something strange happened at Mr. Huang's farm. Some people said that they could hear strange noises at night, so no one dared to buy."

Hearing this, Ah Niu was startled: "When did this happen?"

Song Yan said vaguely: "It happened last year. I don't know the details."

"But these are just rumors, don't take them seriously."

Li Li also said: "I have lived in Zhuangzi for more than a month and have not encountered any strange things."

Aniu suddenly fell silent and stopped talking. He was probably thinking about Zhang Yue'er again.

As we go further, Zhuangzi's outline becomes clearer.

Song Yan looked at the vast field and felt a surge of ambition in his heart.

Such a large piece of land is mine, mine!

He drove the ox cart to the edge of the field, jumped off, looked at the vibrant land in front of him, and the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously.

At this time, Aniu also got out of the car. He walked to the field, squatted down, and grabbed a handful of soil with his hands. The soil was moist and soft, and there was still some snow that had not melted yet.

Ah Niu showed an honest smile on his face and said, "This land is really good land!"

Song Yan also walked over, squatted down, and pinched the soil with his fingers, but with his eyesight, he really couldn't see what was good about this land.

But since Ah Niu has said it’s good, then it must be correct.

Song Yan patted the dirt on his hands and said, "Let's go and take a look at the front."

"Brother Li is gone."

Li Li was feeding the cow with a handful of hay. When he heard this, he responded, "Coming, coming!" He threw the remaining hay to the side of the road, brushed off the grass debris on his body, and quickly followed, leading the cow.

The four of them walked along the ridge of the field, the sun shining on their bodies, making them feel warm.

There was a patch of sand in front of them. Ah Niu asked, "Brother Song, you bought so much sand. Are you going to plant peanuts?"

Song Yan shook her head: "I plan to grow winter melons."

"Winter melon?" Li Li asked doubtfully. He had never seen a winter melon, let alone even heard of it. What was it?

Aniu knew about this winter melon. Last Mid-Autumn Festival, Song Yan gave one to their family.

He said dryly, "The melon is sweet and delicious."

Li Li smacked his lips when he heard this: "So good?"

"When this year's winter melons are grown, I guarantee you'll have enough to eat." Song Yan said with a smile.

Li Li grinned and laughed heartily: "Then I'll be waiting for it, haha!"

As they were chatting and laughing, suddenly, a hare jumped out from the grass nearby.

Song Yan said in surprise: "It's a hare!"

Li Li grabbed a stone and threw it at the hare, but unfortunately he missed.

The hare was frightened and ran faster.

For some reason, Song Yan suddenly remembered the time when he and Shu Changyu went into the mountains. At that time, Shu Changyu also used stones to hunt prey, and he always hit the target accurately.

It turns out that not everyone can be as accurate as Shu Changyu.

I don't know how long he practiced to master this skill.

"Let's go, walk a little further forward." Song Yan said after coming back to his senses.

Going further, in the irrigation canals beside the fields, the icy water mixed with the gurgling water, making a crisp sound.

Next to the canal, a few early-growing shepherd's purse sprouted out of the soil, their leaves lush and tender, revealing abundant vitality.

"When the time comes, we can repair this irrigation canal and then irrigating crops this year won't be a problem." Aniu said while looking at the canal.

Song Yan asked: "Why didn't the manager of the manor think of repairing it before? This is a matter of great importance to the harvest."

Ah Niu shook his head and said he didn't know, but Li Li knew something: "Mr. Huang doesn't care about the harvest of the farm at all, and the managers below just want to have an easy time, so they don't care."

"Then I'll find someone to fix it up later." Song Yan said, "It will be convenient for irrigation in the spring."

After walking around the fields and making sure there was no problem, he drove the ox cart back.

In the next few days, Song Yan took Aniu to measure the land. They went out early and came back late, and were very busy.

After several days of empty-handed searching, Dashan Niang simply squatted in front of the Song family's door and refused to leave.

In the end, she didn't see Song Yan, but only saw Song Wanzhou coming back. She cursed, "Er Ya, where have you been, you little bitch? Where's your big brother?"

Song Wanzhou glanced at her and said unhappily, "I don't know, don't ask me."

When Dashan's mother heard this, she became even more furious: "Girl, how can you talk to your elders like that?"

Song Wanzhou snorted: "What kind of elder are you? You block my house every day. What a disgrace."

Dashan Niang jumped up and was about to hit Song Wanzhou: "You uneducated thing, I will teach you a lesson today."

Song Wanzhou quickly hugged Yaya and dodged. She shouted, "Gou Sheng!"

A big gray dog ​​rushed out from the yard and barked at Dashan Niang.

Dashan Niang was so scared that she stepped back repeatedly and almost fell to the ground, but she was still cursing: "This is outrageous! How dare the little bitch let the dog out!"

"If you dare to do it again, try it." Song Wanzhou raised his hand and ordered, "Gousheng, hurry up and bite her!"

Gousheng was about to pounce on him. Dashan's mother was so frightened that her face turned pale and she sat down on the ground: "Oh my God, someone is going to die!"

At this time, Song Yan just came back and saw this scene. He quickly called out to Gousheng: "Gousheng, stop!"

Gousheng obediently retreated and squatted at Song Yan's feet.

Dashan Niang got up from the ground with lingering fear, pointed at Song Wanzhou and cursed: "You crazy girl, you are lawless!"

"Auntie!" Song Yan interrupted her, "What do you want to talk to me about?"

As he spoke, he quietly waved to Song Wanzhou and asked her to go into the house.

Song Wanzhou understood what he meant and quickly carried Yaya into the house, not forgetting to peek out through the crack in the door.

Hearing his words, Dashan Niang was stunned for a moment, then she remembered her purpose, and she quickly asked: "Xiao Song, didn't you say you wanted to buy land? My family has five acres of land, and it only costs ten taels of silver per acre, what do you think?"

"Sorry, auntie, I have already bought the land." Song Yan said.

The smile on Dashan Niang's face froze instantly, and her eyes widened: "What? Bought it? When did it happen?"

"Just a few days ago." Song Yan smiled, "Fifty acres of land cost less than two hundred taels of silver, it's cheap."

"How is this possible!" Dashan Niang's voice changed. "How can there be such a cheap piece of land? Don't lie to me!"

Song Yan still had a smile on her face: "Aunt, how could I deceive you? The seller was in a hurry to sell, and I just happened to catch up, so I negotiated this deal."

"It can't be that cheap." Dashan Niang's face was full of disbelief, but seeing that Song Yan didn't seem to be lying, she gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, even if what you said is true, then you can buy my land as well."

Song Yan's mouth twitched as she refused, "I have already bought enough land. I really don't have extra money to buy your land. If you are in a hurry to sell it, you can find someone else to sell it to."

"With ten taels of silver, you might find a cheater who will buy it in a fit of madness."

When Dashan Niang heard this, her face turned red and she said angrily: "What are you talking about? How can my land be considered a scam? Ten taels of silver is already a bargain for you!"

"Then please take your time selling them, I'll go back first." Song Yan said as he yawned. He was almost sleepy after being busy all day.

Dashan Niang glared at him fiercely: "Okay, if you don't buy it, you will regret it later!"

After saying that, Dashan Niang left angrily.
