Chapter 112 The cart is ready and pushed back, and the cake is also ready.



Chapter 112 The cart is ready and pushed back, and the cake is also ready.

Yuyu straightened up and gently wiped the beads of sweat from her forehead. There was a little flour on the front of her pink skirt, but she didn't care. She said crisply, "Okay, I'll go see if the cart is ready. The cake is almost done, and it can't be without a suitable 'vehicle' to carry it."

After saying that, he walked quickly towards the door, his steps brisk and a little anxious.

Xiaoyu quickly said, "Be careful, don't walk too fast."

Yu Yu turned around and replied, "I know, Mom. I will be careful." Then she continued to walk briskly towards the carpenter who Cheng Chumo had mentioned making the cart.

When she arrived at the carpenter's shop, Yu Yu stopped, tidied her messy hair, and gently brushed off the dust on her body.

She walked briskly into the carpenter's shop, her pink skirt swaying gently as she walked, and the hair accessories on her head also swaying slightly.

As soon as I entered, I saw the carpenter wiping some tools. Yuyu had a smile on his face and said crisply, "Hello, Master. I'm here to pick up the cart that Brother Cheng asked you to make."

The carpenter looked up at the sound and saw it was Yuyu. He quickly put down his work and replied with a smile, "Oh, you're here, girl. It's not hard at all. The cart has been made a long time ago, just waiting for you to take it. I made it according to your requirements, so it's solid."

Yuyu nodded repeatedly, walked closer to the cart and looked at it carefully, his eyes full of satisfaction: "Master, your craftsmanship is really amazing. This cart looks particularly good, just what we want. Then we will take it away now. If we need it again in the future, we will trouble you again."

The carpenter waved his hand and said with a generous smile, "What are you talking about, young lady? Just come and help me if you can help me. I hope your birthday gift will satisfy the Emperor."

After thanking the master, Yu Yu installed the four wheels herself and carefully pulled the cart back. The cart left two shallow ruts on the ground behind her.

Not long after, Yu Yu came back with a smile on her face, pulling the brand new cart in her hands. The cart looked very sturdy, with a body polished very smoothly. The four iron wheels shone lightly in the sun, and it was very stable.

Yuyu pulled the cart into the door and shouted, "Okay, it's back. This cart is really well made. It can fit our cake perfectly on it."

Li Hao hurried over, took a look at the cart, patted the body, and praised: "The carpenter's craftsmanship is good. Look at this cart, it's sturdy and beautiful. It will definitely complement our nine-layer birthday peach cake."

Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaidao also came over. Cheng Chumo smiled and said, "Haha, no worries now. Once we put the cake on this cart and push it to the birthday party tomorrow, it will surely amaze everyone."

Qin Huaidao nodded slightly, stroking his chin with his hand, and echoed: "Indeed, I hope everything goes well tomorrow."

Xiaoyu stood aside with her hands folded in front of her. She was wearing a light blue long dress, the hem of which fluttered gently in the wind, and the simple bun on her head made her look particularly gentle.

She warned seriously, "Yuyu, be careful when packing the cake and the birthday peaches we made. This cake, and especially the birthday peaches, took a lot of effort to make."

"You have to put it on layer by layer slowly. Don't mess up the shape, otherwise all our efforts will be wasted."

Yuyu nodded in response, her bright eyes filled with caution. "Don't worry, Mom. I will be careful and do as you say, loading the cake and peaches securely and layer by layer. I'll make sure they're loaded onto the cart intact."

As she spoke, Yu Yu carefully approached the chopping board where the cake was placed, gently picked up the bottom layer of cake, and slowly walked towards the cart.

She took every step very cautiously, as if she was not stepping on the ground but on fragile thin ice.

Xiaoyu looked at Yuyu's cautious appearance and felt a little worried. She took two steps forward, gently tugged at the hem of her light blue dress, frowned slightly and said, "Let me do it. This cake is too important. If something goes wrong, it will be terrible. It will be safer for me to do it."

After hearing this, Yuyu nodded obediently and responded crisply, "Okay, Mom."

As she said that, she took a step back and stood aside, staring at Xiaoyu's movements without blinking.

Yu Yu unconsciously tugged at the hem of her pink skirt with both hands, and she looked extremely nervous. She was silently hoping that Xiao Yu could load the cake and longevity peaches onto the cart smoothly and intactly.

Xiaoyu took a deep breath and washed her hands carefully before she started. She moved gently and slowly, first gently picking up the cake on the bottom layer and placing it steadily in the center of the cart.

Then she picked up the small birthday peaches she had made and carefully placed them one by one on the edge of the cake, making sure the positions and spacing were just right.

She looked so focused, as if nothing else in the world could distract her. She slowly placed the entire nine-layer birthday peach cake on the cart, layer by layer.

Xiaoyu straightened up, patted the hem of her skirt gently, and said with a look of relief on her face, "Okay, okay, now everything is done. We'll just have to wait and send it to the palace tomorrow to celebrate the emperor's birthday."

Cheng Chumo scratched his head, looking at the exquisite nine-layer birthday peach cake on the cart, and asked worriedly, "Will this cake melt if left here today? I remember popsicles melted before. Although the weather isn't that hot, it would be disastrous if something went wrong."

Li Hao smiled and waved his hands, confidently responding, "No, when we made this cake, the ingredients we used were carefully considered, and the cream is also specially made, so it doesn't melt that easily."

"Besides, we'll just put it in this room. It's very cool and there won't be any problems. Just put your mind at ease."

Qin Huaidao also nodded slightly in agreement. He stroked his chin with his hand and said calmly, "Well, Li Hao is right. As long as this room remains cool and shady, the cake will be safe and sound until it arrives at the palace tomorrow. We can also take this opportunity to prepare other matters for tomorrow's visit."

After hearing this, Yuyu's eyes sparkled. She looked at the cake and said happily, "That's good. I hope the Emperor will like this thoughtful birthday gift from us."

At this time, cats and dogs came over. Yuyu saw this and widened his eyes anxiously. He ran over and drove them away: "You little guys, don't make trouble. Go away, go away!
