There's only one problem right now: Deng Yin doesn't know how to bake a cake.

He Sixing has a tradition of eating cake on his birthday, but Deng Yin has never bought one.

Birthday cakes are usually bought by family or friends, and since Deng Yin is all alone, no one would buy one for her. Besides, Deng Yin herself doesn't value such things. The only time she had one was when she went to repair an appliance, and it happened to be the customer's daughter's birthday, so she was given a slice.

Hexixing's technology has long been advanced enough to control electrical appliances remotely. The reason for coming to her home was because the item she was asked to repair was old and could not be interacted with remotely.

This family certainly doesn't have much money, but they're still willing to buy their daughter a cake for her birthday.

The cream on top of the cake was cheap and smelled of artificial flavoring. There were a few pieces of fruit scattered around as decoration; the piece of cake the little girl gave Deng Yin happened to have a small piece of strawberry on it.

Deng Yin took a small bite of the cream; it was a bit cloying, and the saccharin flavor melted in her mouth. The cream probably had strawberry flavoring added; it was slightly sour, which blended well with the saccharin taste.

Deng Yin had to rush to another client's house, so she quickly finished the cake on her plate in two bites.

Deng Yin didn't eat the strawberries; she said she didn't like them. Before eating them, she put the strawberries on the little girl's plate.

The cake page on the supermarket's tablet has a complete production process. The merchants are not worried that people will make it themselves after knowing the process, because most people only buy a cake to celebrate their birthday. If they buy the raw materials, the amount is enough to make ten or so cakes.

On the contrary, only by knowing how expensive and varied the raw materials they use will they attract more people to buy cakes.

Deng Yin definitely can't use the production process from Heze Star now, as she doesn't have most of the materials and can only find substitutes.

The key to whether a cake is delicious or not is whether the cream is too rich or greasy.

In Deng Yin's memory, cream required saccharin, flavor enhancer, whey powder, egg whites, shortening, and milk. Now, Deng Yin only has egg whites.

The cow I bought a while ago was a draft cow and doesn't produce milk. If I want milk, it has to be a dairy cow.

I don't know if there are any elsewhere, but there are no dairy cows in West City.

Other steps might be replaced by something else, but this step cannot.

Deng Yin asked Wang Moyu, "Aunt Wang, do you know where I buy dairy cows? You mean the kind that produce milk?"

Wang Moyu has traveled to many places across the country, but she has never heard of a dairy cow that produces milk. "I don't know. Do you know what it looks like? I might have seen one, but I wouldn't know it was a dairy cow."

"It's the kind of cow that's black and white in patches." Species evolve over time, and Deng Yin didn't know if the cows of this era were the same as those of her time.

Wang Moyu wanted to eat fried shredded vegetables, and Li Pingle had just finished frying them when she came in and overheard their conversation.

He put down the plate in his hand and said, "Is it the kind of cow that can't plow the land but can produce milk?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Deng Yin said excitedly, "Uncle, have you seen it before?"

"I've seen them before." Li Pingyue handed the chopsticks to Wang Moyu, sat down in the chair and said, "There are people in Baihua City who raise these kinds of cattle, they say they are called chess cattle. The emperor ordered that the cattle used for plowing be banned from being eaten, but the hooves of chess cattle are relatively soft and cannot be used for plowing, so some people raise these cattle specifically to eat them."

After hearing this, Deng Yin didn't even bother to eat a couple of bites before leaving. She didn't know how far it was from Baihua City; she only said she was going away for a few days.

The decision was made too hastily, and Li Pingyue didn't have time to make anything for her to take with her, so Wang Moyu asked her to bring the plate of fried three kinds of vegetables.

Every time Deng Yin left, Li Pingle would make her some food to take with her.

A mother worries when her son travels a thousand miles; the same applies if the genders are reversed.

The current Deng Yin is very different from the Deng Yin of the past, but neither Li Pingle nor Wang Moyu ever suspected that something evil had possessed her.

A person's personality may change, but their fundamental nature will not.

Whether it was the Deng Yin of the past or the Deng Yin of the present, her way of dealing with people is the same as before. It's just that she used to hide her emotions, but now she shows them outwardly.

No child who has been abandoned by their parents would dare to express themselves bravely.

Moreover, she was only seven years old when she was abandoned.

What Deng Yin didn't know was that, just like the original owner when her parents were still alive, she would save her favorite food for last, never hide what she wanted to say, and would strive to get what she liked.

......

Warmth can maintain body temperature, but even if it's not hot, the sun will still feel hot on your body.

Deng Yin built a canopy for the electric vehicle, with a small opening in it, just big enough for a pair of eyes to peek out.

Although electric vehicles have automatic navigation functions and do not require looking at the road, Deng Yin's trip was not solely for buying dairy cows.

If she has the chance, she plans to go mining again.

This time, instead of mining for gold, she plans to mine for something that can be used to make something.

Earning points is difficult, but spending them is easy. If he had the materials, Deng Yin could make those things himself.

On Heze Star, science and technology are taught from elementary school. Before the third grade, students learn theory, and then they start to do hands-on work when they enter the third grade.

Deng Yin is talented and hardworking enough. He can remember anything he has seen once and can also do it.

She skipped a grade and went straight to eighth grade when she was in fifth grade.

Deng Yin first went to buy chess cattle, because the sooner he bought them, the sooner they would produce milk. He would consider mining when he returned.

Perhaps the city of flowers was named so because it was famous for its flowers, but now the only thing related to flowers in the city is the plaque at the city gate.

Deng Yin had never been to Baihua City and didn't know what it used to be like, but it looked even more dilapidated than Xiye City now.

Beggars were everywhere on the streets, and two of them were even fighting over a dark, unappetizing cornbread. Deng Yin didn't intend to reveal his identity, so he changed into coarse cloth clothes before entering the city.

She originally wore this to fit in, but now she seems even more out of place.

With such high temperatures, very few people wear a complete set of clothes. They either wear just pants or roll up their sleeves and pant legs.

It's very rare to see someone dressed as completely covered up as Deng Yin.

Moreover, although Deng Yin was wearing coarse cloth clothes, they looked very new, completely different from the clothes that those people had worn for a long time with patches here and there.

The two beggars were fighting fiercely, and there was already blood on the ground, but no one stepped forward to help. They'd been fighting for so long, and not a single constable had come out to stop them.

This city seems to have been abandoned...
