I trade in both worlds

They worked busy until the baking tray was put into the oven. Only then did they breathe a sigh of relief, move two bamboo couches to sit in the shade near the oven and wait.

Seeing that they had finished their work, Xu Youyin went to the vegetable garden and picked a few cucumbers. He gave each of them half a cucumber and squatted next to Xu Xu to eat them, staring at the oven with sparkling eyes.

While eating, he asked, "Are we going to start baking the cake?"

Xu Xu nodded, too tired to talk.

Before they had finished eating the cucumbers, a sweet and fragrant smell began to waft out of the oven, and several children who were playing with the four dogs in the front yard ran over following the smell.

Arriving at the backyard, Niuniu took a deep breath and said, "Ah, it smells so good."

Xu Qiwei also sniffed it hard: "I want to eat it."

The twins ran to Xu Xu and asked, "When can we eat the cake?"

"Wait a minute, go play in the front yard first, I'll call you when it's ready." Xu Xu said.

"No, I'll wait here." Xu Zhun squatted directly in front of the oven, and several children followed his example and squatted around the oven.

"Move away from here. The oven is very hot. You might get burned." Xu Xu scolded.

The children took a step back, and Xu Xu said helplessly: "If you want to wait, come over here and wait. Don't get too close to the oven."

Watching the children walking towards Xu Xu, looking back every few steps, Xu Youyin said with a smile, "I'm greedy. This fragrance is too overbearing."

"Indeed, I can't even sit still in the front yard, let alone a few children." Lin Erya walked over holding Niu Dan, followed by Chen Lihua.

After a stick of incense, Xu Youyin opened the oven, and the overbearing sweet smell came out all at once. Fortunately, there were not many people nearby, otherwise the gate would have been knocked down.

Looking at the cake in the oven, the surface was golden brown, and the two or three sesame seeds scattered on it caused his throat to tighten, and his mind was clamoring to eat, want to eat.

Aunt Xu rolled her eyes and pushed him away: "Wipe your saliva quickly. You are so old, and you are not ashamed."

She looked inside, and a mixture of hot steam and sweet smells hit her face. Second Aunt Xu also swallowed secretly, turned around and said, "Bring me the gloves I made last time."

Xu Xu said that when he was making the oven, he drew patterns on the gloves and asked them to make them by taking apart old cotton-padded jackets. Because they were afraid of getting burned, the gloves were made as thick as two layers of cotton-padded jackets.

Xu Youyin put on the gloves himself: "Go away, I'll do it."

Aunt Xu glanced at him and stepped aside to let him take out the baking tray.

"Is this egg cake?" Xu Jizong suddenly asked.

Everyone was staring at the cake in the baking pan and didn't notice that Xu Jizong and Xu Youliang were also attracted by the overbearing aroma.

Aunt Xu looked back at him in surprise and said, "It's egg cake. Xuxu brought the mold over and we tried to make some."

"It looks delicious." Xu Youliang said, "It seems that your trial was successful."

"You'll have to try it to know." Xu Xu replied.

Second Aunt Xu pushed Xu Youyin and said, "Hurry up and take it to the front yard."

Looking at the cake on the baking tray, Xu Xu suddenly said, "Second Aunt, don't use your hands to do business in the future. Let's make a clamp and use it to hold it."

"What kind of clamp?" asked Aunt Xu. Others also looked at her, wanting to know what kind of clamp she was going to make.

Xu Xu still found a two-finger-wide bamboo strip in the yard, cut it into arm-length with scissors, and then bent it into a clip.

After washing and drying them, Xu Xu used bamboo clips to take the cakes out of the baking tray one by one and placed them in a bamboo basket.

Xu Youyin took the bamboo clip and turned it 360 degrees to look at it: "This thing is so convenient, I will make , , , or of them later."

Xu Jizong took the bamboo clip and tried it, then nodded: "It can be used at home in daily life."

Seeing them looking at the bamboo stick, Niu Niu smelled the aroma of the cake while looking at the adults anxiously.

Finally, I couldn't help it anymore and shouted, "Grandpa, I want to eat cakes."

Xu Jizong looked down at her and used a bamboo clip to distribute the cake to the children, even Xu Tiantian got one.

Looking at the small cake in his hand, Xu Youyin put it directly into his mouth, squinting his eyes and enjoying the fragrance of the cake.

Xu Xu picked up the empty baking tray and took a look, and found that the places that were brushed with oil were basically not stained with cake, while the places that were not brushed or brushed unevenly were more or less stained with cake crumbs.

Aunt Xu also looked over and pointed at the mold: "These need to be soaked in water. Once they are softened, just use a loofah to brush them clean."

"I'll take it to soak." Xu Youyin walked out with a baking tray in one hand and three or four cakes in the other.

Aunt Xu said as she ate: "Next time you brush the mold, you should be more careful and brush it evenly so that it won't stick and it's easier to clean without wasting."

Xu Xu nodded, looked at Xu Jizong and asked, "Second Uncle, can we use that big oven tomorrow?"

"Sure." Xu Jizong said as he ate, "It's ready. Now we just have to wait for it to dry. It's so hot today. It should be completely dry if we light a fire tomorrow."

"Okay, let's try the big oven tomorrow. If there's no problem, I'll take the cake and oven recipe to find someone. After they sell it, you can start preparing to set up a stall to sell cakes."

After returning home in the afternoon, Xu Xu hurried to find Xu Ziqing to buy baking trays. Considering that they were going to do business, Xu Xu bought 20 of each type, large and small.

After buying the baking pan, Xu Ziqing pulled Xu Xu to watch the video she had edited.

Xu Xu's face was not shown in the video. The whole video mainly consisted of two parts: making clothes and making buttons.

Seeing her tilting her head to watch, Xu Ziqing simply taught her how to follow the video account: "Come on, Xuxu, I'll teach you how to watch videos."

Xu Xu handed her his mobile phone, watched her open the video app, and searched for "Xu's Clothing Customization".

"Here, this is the video of you making clothes." Xu Ziqing said as he watched, "Look, here is the follow button, here is the like button..."

After a while of speaking, without caring whether Xu Xu could understand or not, he returned the phone to her: "Okay, try it yourself first, and ask me if you have any questions."

Xu Xu nodded blankly, then held her phone and watched herself sitting in front of the sewing machine making clothes. A new internet-addicted girl was born.

"Sister Qing, you took such a great shot. I can't believe that's me in that video." Xu Xu said while watching the video.

Instantly, Xu Ziqing felt that the hard work she spent on editing for several days was worth it. She raised her chin and said proudly, "That's right, don't you see who shot it and who edited it?"

Xu Xu looked up at her with a smile and gave her a thumbs up: "Sister Qing, you are the best."

Xu Ziqing pointed at his phone with sparkling eyes: "Look at the small yellow car, I have already put the clothes in this video on the shelves, and four or five people came to ask about it today."

"Ah?" Xu Xu looked at her in surprise: "Is it sold?"
