"Hey, what is this?"

Bai Ye didn't look at Bai Xue's stick like everyone else, after all, he grew up in the Bai family, he was tired of all kinds of sticks, and almost everyone had one pastry chef for this thing, so every time the Bai family met the Xie family, the scene of each person holding a stick was like a group scene. Even the predecessor had such a stick for a while, but unfortunately he lost it later because he was not used to it.

So, Bai Ye set his eyes on another thing in the white snow box, you are a ball of tightly unidentified objects carefully wrapped in cloth, but the smell of the chef of Bai Ye still asked for a special taste, it is the smell of fermented flour, it smells a little sour.

"Fermented flour?Why did Xiaoxue bring this thing here, and keep it so carefully?Hey, is it .......?"

Bai Ye thought for a while with some doubts, and then a conjecture came to mind.

If it's an ordinary dough, it's naturally not worth keeping it so carefully, as long as it's done when you need it, it won't waste too much time anyway, and the dough in the white snow box that is so carefully preserved will naturally not be ordinary, and the Bai family's unusual dough seems to be the only one.

"Xiaoxue, is this the legendary old man?"

Bai Ye pointed to the package and asked the doubts in his heart.

"Forehead ......"

Bai Xue was stunned for a moment, and following Bai Ye's fingers, she looked at the package in her box, and then nodded.

"Well, it's a thousand-year-old noodle, I brought it here just in case. ”

didn't want to hide anything secretly, Bai Xue generously admitted that in her opinion, there was nothing to hide from her cousin.

“.......”

Bai Ye was silent, his eyes were shining and staring at the small package, and that look was like a look.

For a chef, the attraction of an excellent ingredient may be greater than the attraction of a beautiful woman, Bai Ye is like this now, his eyes are much more focused on looking at the thousand-year-old noodles than looking at the beauties, but it is not to blame him for reacting like this, it is really that the thousand-year-old noodles are too precious, and its value will definitely not be much worse than the dragon meat that Bai Ye collects in the gourd.

The so-called old noodles are actually the extra dough that is often made when making steamed buns, and because there are a lot of yeasts in it, it is used as a fungus the next time the noodles are made. If you use old noodles instead of yeast for fermentation, the fermentation speed will be much slower, but the final texture of the noodles will be delicate and mellow, which is better than ordinary fermented products.

It's a pity that although the production method of old noodles is simple, because the storage time is relatively short, even if it is refrigerated, it can only be stored for two or three days, and the only way to keep the old noodles is to reset the shelf life, that is to say, the old noodles are used, the old noodles are fermented with new noodles, and then a lump of fermented noodles is cut off as a new old noodles and stored for next time.

This is the only way to preserve old noodles, although it sounds quite simple, isn't it just to knead the noodles every two days, what's so difficult about this? But ah, the current pasta is not valuable, in ancient times, there were few ordinary people who could eat it for three days, so except for the noodle shops that specialize in the pastry business, the average person rarely has the kind of old noodles that have been preserved for a long time. And the old noodles have the characteristics of getting older, even those noodle shops are not willing to deal with noodles in every generation, in case they meet an unfilial descendant, the ancestral craftsmanship is lost, then the old noodles they passed down will naturally be wasted.

Therefore, although the old noodles are everywhere, but the real high-quality old noodles are very rare, the common old noodles on the market will last for more than ten years, and the decades are already high-quality, the kind of more than 100 years is enough to make those high-star restaurants as the treasure of the town, as for the old noodles that are more than 1,000 years old? That thing is just like dragon liver and phoenix gall, just a legend.

However, as far as Bai Ye knows, the Bai family still preserves the legendary thousand-year-old noodles, the ancestor of the Bai family, the so-called Bai Luo family, but the Three Kingdoms followed Zhuge Liang's military cook, and when Zhuge Liang invented the steamed bun, the ancestors of the Bai Luo family also participated in it, this is the origin of the soul bun or the soul of the town steamed bun, and the Bai Luo family has specialized in pastries since that generation, and has been passed down from generation to generationThe old noodles handed down by the ancestors are almost 2,000 years old today, and they are veritable thousand-year-old noodles.

Inherited nearly 2,000 years of old noodles, its value is simply difficult to measure, thousands of years of antiques are already very valuable, in this food world, the value of thousands of years of old noodles is far better than antiques, almost can be called true. As long as you are willing to sell, there are still people who are willing to trade a city for it.

It's a pity that the thousand-year-old face of the Bai family is the treasure of the Zhen family, and only the patriarch has the right to keep it from generation to generation, and no one else can even think about it, the patriarch of the Bai family of this generation is Bai Ye's uncle, and the heir of the next generation, there is no doubt that it is Bai Xue, as the future patriarch, Bai Xue has the right to touch this thousand-year-old face that is difficult for outsiders to see.

It's just that Bai Ye didn't expect the Bai family to be so bold, and such an important thing would allow Bai Xue, the girl, to be brought out at will, what if it was lost or robbed.

Bai Ye looked at the small package that was quietly placed in the box, his eyes were like looking at a mountain of gold, he almost couldn't suppress the greed in his heart, and reached out directly, but fortunately, he restrained his desire in time, this is his cousin's thing, Bai Xue trusted him so he didn't hide it, he couldn't live up to his cousin's trust.

In fact, not to mention that Bai Ye is about to lose control of her greed, the same is true of Liu Shiyu on the side, her left hand is tightly holding her right hand, as if she is trying her best to restrain her own shot, the thousand-year-old noodles are too attractive to chefs, even her Liu family does not have this thing, although the Liu family is now the leader of the Chinese culinary industry, but the Liu family is a young family that has only risen in modern times, and the family history is only more than 100 years, it can only be said that it is a nouveau riche general wealthy family, and it really can't be compared with the Bai family, a big family with a history of thousands of years。

"Xiaoxue, put this thing away quickly, don't take this thing out casually, well, I have a safe in my room, hurry up and lock it for me." ”

Bai Ye almost trembled and said this, no way, this little package is worth more than his small broken shop. Bai Xue was so arrogant to show it here, he was really flustered, if something went wrong with this thing, he couldn't explain it.

"Hehe, cousin, calm down, don't be so exaggerated, besides, if you want to come out of the lock safe, you're not afraid of getting stuffy." ”

Bai Xue was very calm about Bai Ye's fuss, and she comforted Bai Yedao.

"This old noodles are different from those antiques, and they are not used and gone, the old noodles can almost be regarded as how many or how much, and the clan dad still keeps it, I just went out before my dad kneaded the dough once and kept one more for me to use this time. ”

Bai Xue said nonchalantly.

"Don't mess around, it's because the old noodles can be kneaded a lot as long as there is a little bit of this thing, so we should pay more attention to it, this is the foundation of the Bai family's current status, and there must not be a little bit of rumor. ”

Bai Ye reprimanded very harshly, the Bai family can now defeat the Xie family and sit firmly in the first position of the interface point of Huaxia cuisine, this thousand-year-old noodle is one of the major reasons, once the old noodle is leaked, then the impact on the Bai family is very great, although Bai Ye does not have much sense of belonging to the Bai family now, but after all, the predecessor grew up in the Bai family, and there is still a little emotion, and Bai Ye has no effect, and even if he doesn't care about the Bai family, Bai Ye can't help but care about the cousin in front of him, if Bai Xue caused the thousand-year-old noodles to leak, then even if she is the next patriarch, it is impossible to escape the family law。

"Okay, okay, got it. ”

Bai Xue looked at Bai Ye's serious appearance, and couldn't help but shrink her neck in fright, she was a lawless little princess in the Bai family, and no one could help her, even if it was the patriarch's father, she was not very afraid, but if her cousin was angry, she was still a little scared, bah, what is scared, she would be obedient just because she cared about her cousin.

At that moment, Bai Xue closed the box again, and couldn't see the thousand-year-old face, Bai Ye and Liu Shiyu were relieved.

It's just that at this time, Bai Xue rolled her eyes and planned from her heart.

"Na, cousin, how about we have some lottery for this competition?"

"What lottery?"

Bai Ye, who breathed a sigh of relief, asked with a smile.

"Cousin, if you win, I'll give you a small piece of thousand-year-old noodles, and if I win, you'll have to go with me for a day. ”

Bai Xue blinked and said.

"Nonsense...... Do you know the millennium ........?"

Seeing that Bai Xue, this girl, turned out to be a thousand-year-old face as a colorful head, and her face was black in the night, is this girl lacking heart?

He just wanted to get angry and give this girl who didn't know the severity of an ideological education lesson, but Bai Xue's next sentence made him swallow the words again.

"Because it's my cousin, I gave you special treatment, but let's say it first, even if it's a cousin, you can't keep the old noodles privately, you can only use the old noodles I gave you once, and you can't leave new old noodles. ”

Bai Xue said very seriously.

So, Bai Ye began to struggle......
