　　“Man cannot live by bread alone,” said the proverb. But he needs bread in order to live. I am a baker, not because I can make a lot of money, nor because it is an easy life, but because I enjoy my work, and I can earn enough to live comfortably without too much worry. I make cakes; I am proud to say that they are quite famous in the neighborhood and my customers are always satisfied. Many housewives have to go out to work these days, and they are glad to come to our shop for cakes which look and taste just like those that their mothers used to make at home. I heard one man (his wife always buys my cakes) talking proudly about his wife's cooking. “We never eat cakes bought from a shop,” he said.

　　My father was a baker, too, and my grandfather before him. But they did all the hard work by hand, while we have machines which work more quickly and efficiently than men. In the bakery(面包房), we still prepare the dough(面团) for the bread at night, mixing the flour and the yeast(酵母) with water by machinery instead of by hand. We keep it at a fixed temperature. At five o'clock in the morning, the actual work begins. Two men watch as a machine cuts off pieces of the dough, and weighs them to the correct size for a loaf of bread. The men quickly shape these pieces by hand, and put them into tins which have already been prepared by another machine. A moving belt carries these along very slowly in the direction of the oven, so that even before the actual cooking begins, the dough has risen and the tins are half full. The oven is filled, the door is shut, and then the only thing left to do is to wait for the bread to cook. The finished loaves are larger still, of course, brown and crusty. They smell delicious and they taste even better.
