I trade in both worlds

Xu Jizu wore this string of copper coins until he was thirteen or fourteen years old. One day, the red string broke, and he stopped wearing it. Instead, he strung the coins together again with a red string and put them in his purse, taking them out to play with them from time to time.

When he died, Xu Xu's mother planned to bury him with her, but she couldn't find his body after searching the whole house. They thought that Xu Jizu had fallen into the mountains when he had the accident.

It was not until the seventh day after his death that she found it in the chest of drawers at home. Since then, she has kept it together with his belongings. If Xu Jin hadn't mentioned it, she would have forgotten about this string of copper coins.

This was a relic left by her father. Xu Xu didn't want to move it unless it was absolutely necessary. She thought for a moment and said, "This is my father's relic. I want to keep it as a reminder. There should be some old copper coins. I'll go back and look for them, or ask someone else to exchange them."

Xu Ziqi nodded, handed the copper coin to Xu Xu, picked up the bowl and chopsticks and said, "Let's eat first. This matter is not urgent."

After lunch, Xu Xu returned to the utility room to make clothes for Xu Ziqi. It took less than three hours from cutting to finishing the clothes.

The first thing Xu Ziqi said after putting on the Hanfu was, "I finally understand why I need to order it custom-made. You can't buy ready-made clothes that fit me perfectly."

Xu Ziqi touched his shoulder, lifted his sleeves, and looked at the hem. Every part was perfect, completely tailored to his figure and size.

Xu Ziqing fully agrees with this: "So it's expensive for a reason."

"Indeed." Xu Ziqi handed the phone to Xu Ziqing and said, "Take a few photos for me. Make sure they look good."

After taking a few photos with his phone, Xu Ziqing sighed, "I finally understand what a gentleman is."

Xu Ziqi glared, took back his phone and said expressionlessly: "Aren't you also a human being?"

"Can you speak? I'm a dog, what are you?" Xu Ziqing waved his fists angrily.

Xu Xu was afraid that they would really fight, so he quickly pulled Xu Ziqing and said, "Okay, okay, stop talking. Are you hungry? Can you eat the cake you bought this morning?"

"Huh?" Xu Ziqing curled his lips, pulled Xu Xu and turned to walk out: "Let's go eat cake."

When we came to the living room, the three children were watching TV attentively. Xu Tiantian was running around the living room in her walker. She had tasted the flavor of freedom and no longer wanted to be confined in the cradle.

Xu Ziqing opened the shopping bag and saw that one bag was filled with various snacks, including cheese sticks, hawthorn sticks, jelly, snow cakes, teething sticks, seaweed, and small steamed buns...

Another shopping bag contained egg cakes, honey cake rolls, mochi, donuts, red bean paste bread and honey buns. Except for the egg cakes, which was just enough for one person, the others were one big one and up to three small ones.

Xu Ziqing looked at the bag of bread and was dumbfounded. How could he divide it like this?

When Xu Ziqi changed his clothes and came over, he saw her staring at the shopping bags stupidly. Needless to say, he knew what was in her mind.

He walked over and took the shopping and said, "Give each of you one egg cake, and cut up the rest and share them. With so many cakes, how long will it take to finish one for each person?"

Xu Xu agreed, "That's the best. I'll get a big plate and cut it all up so we can share it."

Xu Ziqi took an egg cake and called out to Xu Tiantian who was wandering around the room, "Tiantian, come here."

When Xu Tiantian heard someone calling her, she stopped and slightly turned to look at Xu Ziqi.

Seeing that she had looked at it, Xu Ziqi raised the cake in his hand. Xu Tiantian immediately let out an excited "wow", slipped her feet, and rushed out half a meter, came to his side, stretched out her hands, and shouted "ah ah", motioning Xu Ziqi to give him the cake.

Xu Xu came out with a fruit knife and a plate, and just saw this scene. He stopped her and said, "Brother Xu, don't give it to her yet. I'll put a bib on her and let her eat later." Then he put down the things in his hands and went to hug Xu Tiantian.

Xu Tiantian turned around and refused to be held. Xu Xu stood up, looked at her and said, "If you want to eat, come out and sit at the dining table. You can't eat if you want to sit in this walker."

Xu Tiantian pursed her lips, tears welled up in her eyes but seemed about to fall out, she looked extremely pitiful.

Xu Ziqi couldn't bear to watch and wanted to plead for mercy, but Xu Xu shook his head and said, "She will drop food everywhere when she eats. The crumbs will be crushed by the wheels and it will be difficult to maintain hygiene. Let her sit here and eat."

Seeing that Xu Ziqi couldn't handle her mother, Xu Tiantian turned to look at Xu Ziqing. Her cleverness almost made her laugh out loud.

Xu Ziqing spread his hands and looked at Xu Tiantian with grievance: "I have to listen to your mother too."

There was nothing I could do, so I turned around and looked at my uncle and brother who were watching TV in the living room. Unfortunately, the three of them were concentrating on the TV and were unaware of what was happening here.

Xu Xu followed her gaze and said, "Okay, turn off the TV and come over to eat cake."

Xu Jin and Xu Zhun immediately stood up and turned off the TV. Xu Qiwei actually wanted to watch more, but his uncle had already turned off the TV, so he could only obediently follow him to the restaurant and sit down.

The last hope was shattered. Helplessly, Xu Tiantian pouted and raised her hands towards Xu Xu, giving up the walker in compromise.

Xu Ziqing gave each of them an egg cake. Xu Xu looked at the cake in his hand. Although it was cold, he could still smell the burnt aroma, which stimulated his mouth to secrete saliva continuously.

Take the soft and fragrant egg cake and take a bite. The taste is not as soft as it looks. The outer skin is crispy, and the mouth is filled with the aroma of sesame and eggs. The inside is soft and chewy, sweet but not greasy, and very delicious.

Seeing her eating happily, Xu Ziqing asked, "How is it? Is it delicious?"

"It's delicious." Before Xu Xu could answer, Xu Qiwei answered first.

Xu Xu smiled and said, "Besides delicious, what else can you say?"

"It's just delicious." Xu Qiwei whispered, and then sought support: "Uncle, uncle, isn't it delicious?"

The twins nodded. It was not that they didn't want to talk, but the cake was a bit choking.

Xu Ziqi found it very funny and opened a small bottle of milk for each of them. He, Xu Ziqing and Xu Xu each had a bottle of Coke.

After tasting it carefully, Xu Xu said, "This cake has a crispy crust and is soft and fragrant inside. It is suitable for both the elderly and children. I just don't know how it is made."

"Here." Xu Ziqing had already downloaded the video on his tablet.

Xu Xu held the tablet and watched while trying other cakes and breads. After watching, he said, "We don't have that oven."

Xu Ziqing pointed at the tablet and said, "Watch the next video. It teaches you how to make an earthen oven. As long as you make this earthen oven, you can roast anything on the table, including roast duck, roast chicken, roast pig, roast lamb..."
