The temperature gradually drops these days, because my children have to leave school early every morning, and I sometimes have to work until 11 p.m., which leads to getting up late in the morning, and there is not enough time to make breakfast for my children, and my children often do not eat properly in the morning.
I was very anxious considering that my child was at a stage of growth and development. So, I decided to get up at 5 a.m. every morning to make breakfast for my kids. However, due to the lack of adequate sleep, I was in a state of drowsiness during the day.
Kids love to eat cakes, and I bought them at the supermarket twice. However, my colleagues told me that the cakes sold in the supermarket might contain additives, so I didn't want to buy them anymore.
Last year, I also bought a small oven and plan to make some fresh cakes for my children. However, since I had never tried to make a cake before, the first two attempts ended in failure, and the cake became hard and not fluffy. Due to my busy schedule, I barely had time to try again, and the small oven was sitting idle in the corner.
The other day, I suddenly remembered that a few years ago in winter, there was a shop in my hometown that specialized in making cakes.
Every winter, the shop opens, and the villagers bring eggs, flour and sugar, and for a fee, the owner makes a sweet and delicious cake. Since the raw materials are all brought by themselves, these cakes are safe to eat.
So, I called my mother ** and learned that the sister-in-law who was in charge of processing cakes also started business this year. I was so excited that if I made a pot of cake myself and made breakfast for my child every day, she would be able to drink milk and eat cake to ensure nutrition.
So, on Saturday morning, I woke up early, went to the vegetable market to buy 100 yuan of eggs, and bought some sugar and flour, and then drove back to my hometown.
When I arrived at my hometown, I took my mother to the cake shop in town to make cakes.
The sister-in-law in the store was very enthusiastic when she saw me, usually a pot of cakes needs 4 pounds of eggs, but I brought a total of 18 pounds of eggs, so she promised to put more eggs, a pot of cakes used 6 pounds of eggs, a total of two pots of cakes for me. (I'm going to make a pot for my mother too, and let her enjoy the rest of the eggs at home.) ）
When the cake is ready, the whole room is filled with an enticing aroma.
Watching the cake steaming, I ate two pieces at once, and the cake was made from a large olive mold, which was very delicious and brought back memories of my childhood.
I drove back to the downstairs of the community, took the cake off the car, and was about to go upstairs, when I suddenly found several aunts sitting downstairs, basking in the sun. (These aunts are older, probably because it's been cold these days, and they're all sitting downstairs basking in the sun.) ）
When several aunts saw me, they smiled and said, "Xiaomei, did you go out to buy something?"Moved such a big cardboard box and carried a bag of cakes, how did you buy so many cakes?(Because the cardboard box was too small to fit a pot of cake, my mother took a white plastic bag and filled another bag of cakes.) ）
These aunts live on the same floor as me, they often chat downstairs, and when I saw that it was already noon, I guessed that they were hungry, so I took out a few cakes directly from the plastic bag, and each aunt shared one.
The aunts tasted the cake and kept praising the deliciousness. Among them, Aunt Zhang, who lives on the third floor, said while eating: "Xiaomei, the cake processed by yourself is delicious!."The cakes sold on the market now are particularly unpalatable, and I don't know how long they have been made, and they are not fresh at all. ”
Watching the aunts enjoy the delicious food, I was also in a very happy mood, and then carried the cake upstairs.
Just after lunch, I was washing the dishes when the doorbell rang suddenly.
When I opened the door, I saw Aunt Zhang, a neighbor who lived on the third floor, standing at the door with a cane.
Aunt Zhang is in her 70s and her body is still strong. Her daughter, who lives in the same building as me, is in her 30s, and we don't usually know each other, except for the occasional hello at work.
When I saw Aunt Zhang looking for me, I was a little surprised: we don't know each other, what is the matter with her looking for me?
Xiaomei, I want to ask you to do me a favor, I wonder if it's convenient?Today I saw you make so many cakes, and I tasted a piece that was so delicious, I haven't eaten such a delicious cake for a long time.
I want to ask you to sell me some cakes, ** good to discuss, you can have as much as a pound. The main thing is that my grandson is growing up, and he eats a lot every day, and I am old, and he doesn't like to eat the food he cooks every day, so I want to make my own cake Don't worry, can you do me a favor?Sell me some cakes?Aunt Zhang asked respectfully.
After hearing these words, I suddenly became enlightened, because I am also a parent with children, and this time the cake was processed for children to taste. Since Aunt Zhang wants some, how can I accept her money?After all, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, and if you live together, you may have to help each other in the future.
Quickly let Aunt Zhang enter the door, told her to sit down on the sofa and wait, then took a plastic bag and filled her with a bag of cakes.
Due to the large size of the old-fashioned olive-shaped cake processed this time, there are about 12 in a bag, which I estimate is already more than a catty. (Since I processed 10 catties of cake this time, I generously gave Aunt Zhang a whole bag.) ）
Aunt Zhang kept asking about the ** of this bag of cakes, but I thought that Aunt Zhang was a neighbor, and it didn't hurt to give her a bag of cakes, so I didn't take her money.
Aunt Zhang thanked again and again and left with the cake.
I thought that this was the end of the matter, but I didn't expect that about half an hour later, the doorbell rang again.
I opened the door and found Aunt Zhang's daughter standing in the doorway with a blank look on her face.
Sister Xiaomei, did you just give my mother a bag of cakes?Mother said you made these cakes with your own eggsShe also said that the eggs you use to process the cakes are all bought at the vegetable marketAunt Zhang's daughter frowned and asked.
Hearing this, I felt a little dazed, because I did buy eggs at the vegetable market, and each egg was hand-picked by me to ensure freshness, is there anything wrong with that?
Sister Xiaomei, I just wanted to ask you, are those eggs you bought homegrown eggs?Most of the eggs on the market are artificially fed, and a lot of medicine has been taken. Our family never eats eggs bought in the market, but always asks acquaintances to buy local eggs from the countryside. If the bag of cakes was made with eggs, I'd take it. But if not, I'll give you back this bag of cakes. The cake that my colleague gave me was bought in the supermarket, and I didn't let the children eat it, so I kept it on the table. My mother couldn't eat a few pieces a day, and because of the heat, the cakes spoiled quickly and ended up throwing them away. Aunt Zhang's daughter said lightly.
Hearing this, I was stunned, I didn't expect Aunt Zhang's daughter to say this.
This bag of cakes is not made with native eggs, if you don't want it, I'll take it back. This bag of cakes is still mine. I said with a frown. After taking the cake, before Aunt Zhang's daughter could speak, I closed the door directly.
After closing the door, I felt very angry inside, because I didn't expect Aunt Zhang's daughter to be such a person. Maybe she's too rich, I've heard that she earns a good monthly salary, but I really didn't expect her to be so picky when it comes to eating.
In order to regulate my emotions, I started surfing the Internet. Unexpectedly, just after looking at the phone for a while, the doorbell rang again. I opened the door and found Aunt Zhang's daughter standing in the doorway, the difference was that this time she had a smile on her face.
I glanced at her, and was about to close the door, who knows, she smiled and said to me: "Sister Xiaomei, this time I am here to trouble you, just now my mother learned that I returned the cake to you, she was very angry, and kept complaining at home that I did not do it right, saying that I should not return the cake to you, because she likes to eat the cake you made very much." ”
I'm going to ask someone to buy some more eggs, and this Saturday, can you take me to the cake processing place?I also want to check out the shops that make cakes and ask them to make a pot of cakes for me too. After all, our whole family ......Aunt Zhang's daughter said with a grin.
When I heard this, the anger in my heart surged up. Before she could finish speaking, I responded directly: "I'm too busy this Saturday to go back to my hometown." If you want to eat cakes made with local eggs, you can find other places to process them. ”
Aunt Zhang's daughter was there for a while, and I quickly closed the door.
After this incident, I no longer want to deal with Aunt Zhang's daughter. Whether it is neighborhoods or closeness, if you get along for a long time, you must understand each other's personality. From the usual trivialities, we can get a glimpse of a person's character. For this kind of neighbor who only thinks about himself and does not take into account the feelings of others, I would rather stay away!
