The small courtyard was about 100 square meters, surrounded by walls made of mud. In this era, only rich families could afford to use bricks. Red bricks did not exist in this era, only green bricks. Ordinary people could not afford to use them.
Peng Yu walked into the kitchen and saw Li Cuihua busy in the kitchen.
" Mother, are you making breakfast?" Peng Yu asked curiously.
"What's breakfast? "Mom is busy with lunch. There is still some mutton left from yesterday. I'll make some soup and steam the pancake. If you're hungry, take a steamed pancake first." Li Cuihua looked at him with heartache.
" Ah, no breakfast. Mother, you have to eat breakfast. As the saying goes, the day's plan is in the morning. Only when you eat in the morning will you have the strength to move," Peng Yu said hurriedly.
At this moment, he remembered that the people of the Tang Dynasty did not have the habit of eating breakfast at all. They only ate two meals a day.
" Mom, you woke up early. I'll make breakfast for you. Steaming a pot of steamed buns and making a pot of millet porridge will do." Peng Yu took out the soda noodles.
There was already a ball of dough on the chopping board in the kitchen. Peng Yu estimated the weight of the dough and made a plan in her heart. Then, she poured some soda noodles from the bag into a bowl and poured some water into it.
As he kneaded the dough, he kept pouring the melted soda flour into the dough. After a while, the soda flour was evenly mixed into the dough.
After kneading the dough, he raised his head and realized that his sisters, Peng Xiaoshan and Li Cuihua, were staring at the dough with their eyes wide open, as if there was something different about the dough.
" Mother, the noodles are done. You guys can do the rest." Peng Yu clapped her hands and handed the rest of the work to Li Cuihua and Peng Xiaoshan.
"Little Yu, is the steamed pancake made by this edible?”Li Cuihua still didn't quite believe it. After all, this method of making steamed pancakes had been passed down for thousands of years. No one could accept a sudden change.
" Don't worry. It's just a pot of steamed buns. At most, we can just throw it away," Peng Yu said nonchalantly.
" Hmph, you brat, you don't know what your past days were like when you were rich." Li Cuihua glared at Peng Yu.
Peng Yu chuckled and didn't say anything. He didn't lack money now. As long as he followed his plan, wealth would come rolling in.
When they walked out of the house, the sun was already high in the sky. From time to time, there were pedestrians walking around. Some women who could not stay idle were already sitting at the door of their houses. They were doing manual work while chatting about their daily lives. From time to time, there were people who secretly looked at the Peng family.
Peng Yu had seen all of this. After all the commotion yesterday, it was impossible not to make people jealous. Not everyone was kind. There were more people who saw jokes.
As expected, before they entered the house, a sharp woman's voice was heard.
"Peng family's third son, are you waiting for that Hongbin restaurant's shopkeeper to come and pick you up?"
Peng Yu looked in the direction of the voice. It was her neighbor, Aunt Yang. She was sitting and sewing while looking at him from the corner of her eyes with a teasing expression.
" That's right, San Lang, that Hongbin Restaurant is a famous restaurant in South City. My old man was only lucky enough to have a drink last year when he was helping the owner. You're not lying to our neighbors." Before Peng Yu could speak, a fat neighbor, Aunt Liu, fired at him.
Peng Yu smiled. She felt that it was impossible to explain things clearly to these people. Everyone was not on the same level at all now, so it was useless to say anything.
His silence immediately caused the other neighbors to whisper.
"I said it. See, he has nothing to say, right?"
"That's right. I wonder where he got the money from yesterday."
"The people living on our street are all miscellaneous households. They are not even as good as those good households. Although the shopkeeper of Hongbin Restaurant is a merchant, he works for an aristocratic family. How can we compare to him?”
Peng Yu's body was in excellent condition now, so all these whispers entered his ears without missing a beat.
He turned around and wanted to return to his own house, but he saw Li Daniu coming out from the courtyard next door. He greeted him,""San Lang, is Da Lang up yet? We still have to go to the dock today. If we're late, we'll be scolded."
Just as they were talking, Peng Yong walked out of the courtyard and greeted Li Daniu before turning around to leave.
Peng Yu hurriedly called out," Big Brother, Big Brother Bull, don't go. What's the point of earning a few copper coins a day? Why don't you stay and help me?"
The two of them froze and turned around with disbelief.
"Third Brother, if you don't work at the docks, how can you have money?" Peng Yong said after a long while.”
Peng Yu smiled and said," Big Brother, you're busy all year round. When you exhaust all your strength, you'll only get three or four strings of money. What's the point?" I have a business here that needs big brother and big brother Daniu."
Peng Yong and Li Daniu looked at each other and were a little hesitant. In the eyes of these people who worked hard at the dock to earn money all year round, Peng Yu could earn money, but she always gave people a feeling of unease.
" Hurry up and enter the courtyard. Mother has made breakfast. After eating, our whole family will go to Hongbin Restaurant to listen to my storytelling." Peng Yu hurriedly pulled the two of them into the courtyard.
"Is he crazy? Why would Hongbin Restaurant let his family go?"
"That's right. Who does he think he is? Old Master Zhao from the east of the city?"
"I say, he's just putting it on for us to see. This Peng family's third son can't study, he's afraid that we'll look down on him."
As soon as Peng Yu and the other two entered, waves of discussions rang out.
The three of them sat in the courtyard for a while. Peng Xiaolin had also gotten up, and the courtyard became lively.
Peng Yu asked Li Daniu to call Second Father Li over. Just as they sat down in the courtyard, they heard Li Cuihua and Peng Xiaoshan scream in the kitchen.
Everyone rushed to the kitchen and saw Li Cuihua and Peng Xiaoshan staring at a steamer full of steamed pancakes in a daze.
Other than Peng Yu, the others were also stunned when they saw the steamed pancake.
" Is this a steamed pancake?" The few of them muttered in their hearts.
The steamed pancake in front of them was round and white. It was much bigger than the steamed pancake they had eaten before, and it looked a lot fluffy.
" Yes, the noodles are a little yellow. There's still a little too much soda flour." Peng Yu didn't care about the looks of the crowd. She reached out and grabbed a steamed bun and took a bite.
When he turned around, he found that everyone's eyes were fixed on him, as if they wanted to know how it tasted. He was a little confused.
" Hurry up and eat it. Why are you looking at me?" Peng Yu took a steamed bun and handed it to Li Cuihua.
Li Cuihua took a bite and her eyes lit up.
"It's really not sour. It's very soft and delicious."
Hearing this, the people beside him immediately came to their senses and quickly took a steamed bun and bit into it.
Then, their expressions changed because this steamed pancake was incomparable to the sour and small steamed pancake they had eaten before.
" Everyone, hurry up and eat. Big Brother, Big Brother Bull, go buy 10 bushels of rice after you finish eating and make 200 steamed buns before noon. I want to give them out for free," Peng Yu said casually.
