Food bloggers made fortunes in ancient times

The next morning, just as the sky was getting light, Song Yan got out of bed quietly.

This time we might have to go into the mountains for a day or two, so we don’t have to set off at 3 a.m. like last time.

Song Yan thought that he still had to prepare some food, so he went to the kitchen, rolled up his sleeves and started to get busy.

There was a light morning mist in the kitchen, and hot water was boiling in the pot, bubbling.

Song Yan took out a bag of glutinous rice, poured it into a basin and added water to soak it.

Then, he took out some dried fruits such as red dates, peanuts and raisins, washed them one by one and prepared them, ready to make some glutinous rice balls.

After soaking the glutinous rice, drain the water and set it aside. Then, he took a piece of clean gauze, spread it on the steamer, and evenly spread the glutinous rice on the gauze, and steamed it over high heat.

While the glutinous rice was steaming, Song Yan removed the core of the red dates and cut them into small pieces, and also chopped the peanuts and raisins slightly.

When the glutinous rice is steamed, pour it into a large bowl while it is still hot, add two spoons of white sugar and chopped dried fruits, and stir quickly to mix evenly.

Then, Song Yan washed her hands, grabbed a handful of warm glutinous rice dumpling filling, and rolled it into round dumplings.

After a while, the plate was filled with small and cute glutinous rice balls.

He found a clean bamboo basket, spread a layer of fresh bamboo leaves on the bottom, and then put the glutinous rice balls into the basket.

After filling up the water bag, taking a fire starter, and some simple medicine for wounds, Song Yan felt that she was almost ready.

At this time, Shu Changyu came in, his eyes half open and half closed, with a lazy look as if he had not yet woken up.

His voice was slightly hoarse, and the ending tone was lazily dragged: "You are so tired even though you are already busy like this."

Song Yan grabbed the spatula and knocked on the table: "Then don't eat what I cook."

Shu Changyu raised his eyelids and said deliberately: "Oh? I want to eat it."

After saying that, he walked to the table, reached out and picked up a glutinous rice dumpling, and under Song Yan's angry gaze, he slowly took a bite.

"It tastes good." Chang Yu narrowed his eyes and took another bite.

Song Yan was both angry and amused by his behavior, and reached out to grab the dumpling from his hand: "Don't you think I'm making a fuss? And you're still eating it."

Shu Changyu dodged to the side and stuffed the half-eaten dumpling into Song Yan's mouth.

"Give you a taste, too."

Song Yan chewed a few times subconsciously, then reacted, puffed out her cheeks, and glared at Shu Changyu.

Shu Changyu reached out and pinched Song Yan's puffy cheeks again: "You look so cute like this."

Song Yan angrily slapped his hand away, turned around and continued to check the prepared items.

Shu Changyu leaned against the cabinet nearby, eating glutinous rice balls while watching Song Yan busying herself.

Song Yan covered the bamboo basket, put the water bag and medicine into the backpack, turned to look at Shu Changyu and said, "Let's go quickly. Don't dawdle any longer."

Shu Changyu followed behind slowly, chewing glutinous rice balls in his mouth.

After they left the house, Song Yan told An Qi: "Don't tell Erya that we went into the mountains, okay?"

An Qi made a zipper motion at his mouth, which he learned from Song Yan.

"Don't worry, Brother Song. I'm very tight-lipped and won't tell anyone."

Song Yan nodded with satisfaction and headed towards the forest with Shu Changyu.

This time they went into the mountains through the path leading to Zhangjia Village.

When they reached the foot of the mountain, Song Yan ran into Li Li who was herding sheep.

"Brother Li!" Song Yan waved and shouted.

When Li Li saw Song Yan's expression, he asked loudly, "Xiao Song, are you going into the mountains?"

"Shh." Song Yan quickly made a gesture to silence the crowd and said in a low voice: "Brother Li, keep your voice down and don't tell others that we are going into the mountains. We have something to do in the mountains this time and don't want too many people to know."

Li Li nodded in understanding and lowered his voice, "Okay, I understand. But there are many wild animals in this mountain, so you have to be careful."

Song Yan smiled and said, "Don't worry, Brother Li, we are prepared."

"Let's go." Song Yan waved his hand, and he and Shu Changyu continued to move towards the depths of the forest.

Li Li's eyes fell on Shu Changyu. He knew that the Song family had guests these days, so he had not gone to disturb them.

But two days, when he was herding the sheep out, he happened to run into Shu Changyu going out.

Shu Changyu, who is nearly a young man, has an upright figure and a cool temperament. His appearance made Li Li sigh inwardly.

During those two meetings, Shu Changyu just nodded slightly and didn't say much.

Although Li Li was curious, he didn't dare to ask rashly.

Watching Song Yan and Shu Changyu walking away, Li Li drove the sheep up the familiar hillside.

Compared with the flat mountain path in Xiaoli Village, the road leading deep into the mountains seems particularly rugged.

Song Yan leaned on a wooden stick and took every step very carefully. The fallen leaves covered the ground, making a rustling sound when she stepped on them.

Shu Changyu looked relaxed, as if this forest was as familiar to him as his own backyard.

"Are you walking so slowly because you're afraid that a monster will jump out from under the leaves and eat you?" Shu Changyu had a smile on his lips and his tone was full of sarcasm.

"I'm just being cautious. Who knows what's hidden under the fallen leaves? What if there's a pit or a snake or something?" Song Yanzheng said.

Suddenly, a bird flew over his head and made a sharp cry, which scared Song Yan so much that he almost jumped up.

Shu Changyu sneered.

Song Yan was furious. She looked up at the direction where the bird flew away and muttered, "This broken bird is just good at scaring people."

Shu Changyu looked at Song Yan with a half-smile, "What? You're scared like this by a bird, and you still dare to go in?"

Song Yan straightened his chest and said, "What's there to be afraid of? I have even fought tigers, so why should I be afraid of a bird!" After that, he strode forward.

The two continued to move forward. A thin layer of mist gradually filled the forest. The sunlight shone through the gaps between the leaves, forming golden beams of light.

An Shi followed silently behind, as if blending into the shadows of the mountains and forests.

If Song Yan didn't look back, she would hardly feel the presence of An Shi.

After walking for a while, Song Yan felt a little tired, so he found a big rock to sit down and rest.

He took out a water bag from his backpack, drank a few sips of water, and then handed it to Shu Changyu.

"Drink some water, the mountain road is still long."

Shu Changyu took the water bag, took a sip, but his eyes fell on the depths of the forest.

"By the way, I haven't asked you yet, what are you doing in the mountains this time?" Song Yan asked him.

Shu Changyu said confidently, "I want to eat fish."

Song Yan was speechless.

"Let's go." He jumped down from the rock, picked up the backpack, and continued walking deeper into the forest.

The fog in the mountains and forests became thicker and thicker, and the vision became blurred.

Song Yan followed Shu Changyu closely, fearing that she would get lost.

He looked back from time to time to make sure that An Shi was still following him.

As they went deeper into the forest, the silence around them became increasingly unsettling.

Song Yan swallowed and whispered, "The fog is so thick that we can hardly see the road. Will we get lost?"

Shu Changyu looked calm: "Follow me, nothing will happen."

Suddenly, a slight sound came from the bushes nearby.

Song Yan suddenly became nervous and tightly gripped the wooden stick in his hand.

Shu Changyu stopped and listened attentively.

After a moment, a figure emerged from the bushes.

Song Yan looked carefully and found that it was Brother Hei whom she hadn't seen for a long time!
