Ding Jun smiled. She picked up the knife and divided the remaining cake into five equal portions for Zhimin and Zhijun’s children. “Next time, if you want to eat it, you can come and get it. Don’t be afraid.”

The children took the cake as if it was a treasure. They looked at Ding Jun and smiled like stars. They thanked her one after another. “Thank you, aunt!”

The eldest son of the second Chen sibling glanced at Ding Jun and took the first bite. He looked like he was enjoying it. After tasting it carefully, his face was full of surprise. “This is delicious!”

When the other children heard this, they started to taste it, then, they started to worship Ding Jun.

“Why doesn’t my mother know how to make this kind of thing?”

“The six brothers are too lucky! Getting a stepmother is even better than our own mother.”

The six children heard the noise and walked out of the house. When they heard this, they stood behind Ding Jun, and their faces were full of pride and arrogance.

The five children took the cake and ran out to play. They then gave the cake to the children who played well. They showed off the cake, and in an instant, the children in the village were all convinced by this kind of cake.

When they returned home, they threw tantrums at the parents and said that they wanted to eat the cake. The adults did not understand. They gathered together and finally figured out the whole story. They all walked toward Chen Zhiguo.

Ding Jun was preparing dinner for the evening at home when she accidentally saw four or five pairs of children’s parents standing guard at her door. They even poked their heads in from time to time. A hint of suspicion flashed across her eyes. Ding jun smiled and quickly called them in. The six children were originally playing, but when they saw so many people suddenly come into the house, they also gathered over and wanted to watch the show.

When the adults saw Ding Jun’s appearance, a flash of surprise flashed across their eyes. A parent hugged his child and said, “Zhiguo’s wife, I heard my child say that he ate some cake at your place. He kept saying that he still wanted to eat it. I wonder what it is and where he wants to buy it?”

“That’s right. Our family is relatively rich. We have bought all kinds of cakes for our children in town, but he said that there is no cake in town. He said that you are the only one who knows how to make that cake. I want to ask what’s going on.”

Ding Jun smiled in relief when she heard everyone’s explanation. Cakes were rare in this era, so it was normal for them not to have eaten them.

Ding Jun took out the last small piece of cake left by the six children from the house, she showed it to the parents. “Actually, it’s nothing. It’s just that today is our sixth son’s birthday. I made him a snack last night called cake. I didn’t expect it to be so popular.”

As she spoke, Ding Jun took out a small spoon and wanted to give the parents a taste. “You can try it. Don’t worry, the children won’t get sick from this.”

The adults looked at each other and were very curious, so they could not help but take a bite. Unexpectedly, everyone was stunned for a moment after eating it. Then, they were shocked and praised, “This is too sweet! It’s soft and melts in the mouth!”

“Zhiguo’s wife, your skills are great! No wonder my child has been raving about your cake!”

“This thing is delicious, but it’s rare. How is it made?” A parent rolled his eyes and asked tentatively.

Seeing that everyone was praising Ding Jun, the six children also felt proud.

Hearing this, Third Brother immediately went up snatched the spotlight. “The recipe is not too difficult, but it’s not available today. Tomorrow my mother will sell it to the public. If you want to eat it, you can come and buy it.”

When the children heard that there would be cake tomorrow, they instantly cried and shouted at the adults to buy it. The adults were so annoyed that they looked helpless.

Seeing this, Ding Jun was stunned for a moment. Then, she quickly calculated the cost of the cake in her heart. She smiled and said to the parents, “Yes, it will be sold tomorrow. The price is not expensive. It’s fifty cents a piece..”
