In the rush of day after day, we always try to find our own little world, allowing us to plunge into it and temporarily withdraw from the trivialities of life. For Chen Duoduo, Chen Jing and Guo Yannan, residents of Hangmilling Community, this little world is baking. At first, they did baking only to eat hygienically and healthily. But gradually, in the process of shopping for ingredients, mixing flour, and waiting for the oven to come out, they gained some experiences of their own. Chen Duoduo said that in the small world of baking, her world has become very big. Chen Jing said that making desserts is a process of meditation. Guo Yannan said that learning to make fruit piping cakes can be regarded as a dream come true. What experience you will get may only be known if you try it yourself. Tutorials on baking can be found in reliable food books or websites. What I want to share with you is the encounter between three ordinary people and baking, and their feelings. I hope that those who are interested can finally make "Causeway Yaki" that expresses their own ideas, as the movie "Smell of Orange Sand" said. Chen Duoduo "In the small world of baking, my world has become very big." Three years ago, Chen Duoduo moved an oven to her house in a hurry and stepped into the baking world. Chen Duoduo likes to make toast bread most, although it takes four or five hours to make it once. The process of kneading, fermentation, shaping and baking is a long one, and requires a lot of waiting. But she enjoyed the slow process of waiting - in many cases, she even stood by the oven and watched the bread slowly bulge.

"The moment you turn on the oven, the whole room is filled with the aroma of wheat, and it's a great feeling." Freshly baked toast, she said, is crispy on the outside but soft on the inside. She described the softness of the bread as clouds in the sky.

Chen Duoduo has many innovations in how to eat toast: in addition to back-baking, bacon or butter, you can also cook vegetables, make toast pizza, and toast pudding. However, fresh toast hurts the stomach, and it is best to wait two hours to cool before eating. Now, Chen Duoduo has also started to learn to make various cakes. Unlike bread, making cakes is more like making a handicraft, which requires creativity to add points to styling and decorating. "I hope one day I can make cakes like works of art," she said. In the small world of baking, she found her world became very big. Chen Jing "Making desserts is a process of meditation." Chen Jing has always been a housewife who loves to make pastries. Four years ago, she spent two months preparing to make a mousse cake for her son. She still clearly remembers her son's excitement when he tasted the cake, and the comment "very beautiful and delicious" also gave her a lot of encouragement. Since then, Chen Jing has been exposed to baking, mainly making Western desserts. She said that although there are tutorials on the Internet, it may not be the same in practice, and desserts need to be integrated into her own thinking. "How to beat cheese, how to add milk, which step comes first... These are all things to try and explore by yourself." Take her best cheese pudding as an example. When beating cheese, milk and sugar cannot be put in at once, but are added slowly. This way, the taste of the pudding is more delicate. " The process of trying will definitely fail, but after failure, you have to think about how to adjust next time. "When making desserts, Chen Jing always spends her whole mind on it, as if she is detached from the real world. The advantage is that she can forget some troubles and gain more happiness and fulfillment." By baking, I can calm down and enjoy the process, and others can taste it, "she said.
