"That's right, don't you really know? This time we're working together, and I don't believe we can't punish them."
"Yes, that's how it should be. I've been irritated with them for a long time, but every time we argue, I can't win an argument with them. They're old and use all sorts of dirty words, and there are some things we can't say. So every time we argue, I always have the upper hand and can't win over them."
"That seems to be the case. Why should we pay attention to them and let them say whatever they want? With the way they are, they will get their comeuppance sooner or later."
Fang Zhiyi listened to them talking one after another, and seemed to finally understand. The corners of his mouth rose slightly and he smiled.
They should have thought that there would be an unexpected surprise this time. No matter whether they were just talking nonsense or not, they said it anyway, and looking at the way they looked, it didn't seem like they were just talking nonsense.
After all, who wouldn't hate someone like Old Lady Liu? There were plenty of people in the compound who hated him, and he'd be able to accomplish a lot of things later.
Although Fang Zhiyi didn't care about what he said before, she was still in a bad mood after hearing it. Now that everyone said this, Fang Zhiyi would of course see what kind of ending she would have.
"Okay, ladies, that's the oven I use to make that thing. You can take a look at it. I'll draw you a blueprint when the time comes, if you want to make it."
"It's just that my skills are limited, so I can only change it to that shape. If you have any questions, please ask me."
"If it weren't for the fact that buying and selling is prohibited in this era, I would have made it and sold it to you."
"It saves you from having to figure it out on your own, but there's really no other way. I don't dare make this thing right. I'll just sell it to you knowing you can go home and make it yourself."
"It's actually quite simple. As long as you adjust the flavor, put it in, and pay attention to the time and temperature, the food you make will generally not be too bad."
"And this can be used to make a lot of things. It can be used to make cakes and dishes. For example, you can put a chicken in it and make roast chicken, or you can roast sweet potatoes."
"I baked a bunch of mooncakes yesterday and thought of sending some to my uncle. Isn't Mid-Autumn Festival coming soon? He's working hard in the army, so I want him to have a taste of what I make."
"I just happened to have saved up a few months' worth of meat coupons, and I also bought some meat from my uncle. I also grilled some meat snacks for Zhilin to nourish him, and sent some to my uncle as well."
"The child is very hungry now. Normally, he always cries for food before mealtime. Now, with this thing, I can make whatever he wants to eat."
"There are a lot of snacks at the supply and marketing cooperative. You can bake them yourself with this stuff. It's just a matter of studying the method. If you really figure it out, you should be able to save some money."
"But this is something that you have to do on your own. There's really no way I can teach you. I still don't understand it myself and am still trying to figure it out."
As Fang Zhiyi was talking, he went to the kitchen and took out the first batch of mooncakes he had baked for everyone to taste.
After bringing the mooncakes to everyone, he looked at those who were looking at the oven with some embarrassment and said:
"This is the first batch, and it's a little burnt. I originally wanted to keep it for myself, so you can try the others first. I didn't bake much, and I have some to give away, so I won't let you try it yet."
"But it's just that I didn't control the temperature right, it's not too serious, and the taste isn't affected too much. You can try it, and if you think it tastes good, you can go home and make it yourself."
When the aunts around heard her words, they took their eyes off the oven and put them on the plate in her hand. They looked at the mooncakes she placed on the plate and waved their hands. Someone said embarrassedly:
"No need, let's see how it's made and then we can just make one ourselves when we get home. Not to mention the time it takes to bake this, the ingredients are expensive, so we won't try it."
"No, it seems like they are all good things. You should keep them for yourselves. Zhilin is so young, so leave them for him. We won't eat them."
"It's about mooncakes. We've eaten them before, but we're not greedy. We're just curious about how you make them. Now that we see this, let's go home and try it."
"Keep it for yourself and don't worry about us. Why did we come to see you? It's already bad enough that we didn't bring you a gift, and now we're eating your food. How can this be allowed?"
Listening to their words, Fang Zhiyi smiled, took out a mooncake from the plate, and handed it to the person in front of him, saying:
"It's okay, auntie, just eat it quickly. This stuff won't keep for long. I saved it for Zhilin, so don't worry about it running out. No one will be short of it."
"Just think of this as giving me some feedback. Let me know where I'm not doing well and I'll improve on it."
"After all, I'm sending it to my uncle, so it won't do if it doesn't taste good. So, why don't you try it and see if the mooncakes made in this oven are successful?"
"Besides, I can still afford these few mooncakes. I have a job now. You guys sent us gifts before. When did you care about these things?"
"Isn't that how it is between neighbors? Today I bring you pickles, tomorrow you bring me meat, and he still acts like this. What's there to be embarrassed about?"
The man felt a little embarrassed when he heard what he said. He took the mooncake, broke off a few pieces, smiled and said:
"Okay, since you said so, let's try it. It doesn't need to be too much. We can each take a bite. We'll know whether it tastes good or not after just one bite."
"But the filling inside is really generous. It looks delicious at first glance. With so many ingredients, it can't be that bad. Don't worry, we will send it to you after we bake it."
After tasting the mooncakes, the people around said they were delicious and thought the oven was quite useful, so they got the drawings from the dish and also got the method of making mooncakes.
After they left, Fang Zhiyi entered the room and saw that Fang Zhilin had woken up early, dressed himself, and was already sitting on the sofa.
Fang Zhiyi was a little tired after dealing with so many people early in the morning, so he also collapsed on the sofa and didn't want to say anything.
