"Hey, what is this?"

Bai Ye didn't look at Bai Xue's stick like others. After all, he grew up in Bai's family and was tired of seeing all kinds of sticks. Almost every pastry chef has one, so every time When the Bai family met the Jie family, the scene where everyone had a stick in their hands made it like a group fight scene. Even before, the predecessor had such a stick for a while, but it was a pity that he threw it away after he was not used to it.

Therefore, Bai Ye turned his attention to another thing in Bai Xue's box. You are a mass of unidentified objects carefully wrapped in cloth, but Bai Ye's sense of smell from the chef and Chinese still asked something special from it. The taste, that is the taste of the flour after fermentation, smells a little sour.

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

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

If it is ordinary dough, it is naturally not worth keeping it so carefully. It is good to make it as long as it is needed. Anyway, it will not waste too much time. The dough in the snow box that is so carefully preserved is naturally not ordinary. If the white family's unusual dough seems to be the only one.

"Xiaoxue, is this the legendary old face of the previous year?"

Bai Ye pointed at the package and asked his doubts.

"Forehead......"

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

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

She didn't want to keep anything secret, and Bai Xue admitted it generously. In her opinion, there was nothing to hide from her cousin.

"......"

Bai Ye was silent, and he stared at the small package with gleaming eyes, his eyes were so eager to see through.

For a chef, the appeal of an excellent ingredient may be greater than the appeal of a beautiful woman. Bai Ye is like this now. His eyes are much more focused on the thousand-year-old face than on beautiful women. No wonder he reacted like this, it is true that the thousand-year-old noodles are too precious, and their value is definitely not much worse than the dragon meat that Bai Ye collected in the gourd.

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

It’s a pity that although the method of making old noodles is simple, due to the relatively short storage time, even if it is refrigerated, it can only be stored for two or three days, and the only way to keep the old noodles forever is to reset the shelf life, that is to say The old noodles are used, but the old noodles are fermented for new noodles, and then a lump is cut from the fermented noodles as new old noodles and saved for next use.

This is the only way to preserve the old noodles, although it sounds very simple, isn't it just kneading the noodles every two days, what's so difficult about it? But ah, today's pasta is worthless. In ancient times, few ordinary people could eat it every three days. Therefore, except for the noodle shops specializing in the pastry business, there are few old noodles that can be preserved for a long time. . And the old noodle has the characteristic that the older the better, even those noodle shops are not willing to deal with noodle in every generation. The old face that came down will be useless.

Therefore, although the old noodles are everywhere, the real high-quality old noodles are very rare. The common old noodles on the market will last for more than ten years. Decades are already high-quality goods, and the kind that are more than a hundred years old are enough. Let those high-star restaurants be regarded as the treasures of the town, as for the old noodles that are more than a thousand years old? Hehe, wash and sleep, the masters who are knowledgeable will tell you not to think about it, it doesn't exist. That thing is just like the dragon's liver and phoenix gallbladder, it's just a legend.

However, as far as Bai Ye knows, the Bai family still preserves the legendary thousand-year-old noodles. The ancestors of the Bai family, the so-called Bai Luo family, were the military cooks who followed Zhuge Liang during the Three Kingdoms period. The ancestors of the Luo family also participated in it. This is the origin of the soul-suppressing steamed buns, and the Bailuo family has been specializing in pastry since that generation, and it has been passed down from generation to generation. Although the main thread on the bright side is the The line of pastry king Logan has been cut off with the disappearance of Logan, but the Bai family where Bai Ye is located has continued to this day as a hidden line of inheritance. Years of history, a veritable thousand-year-old noodles.

The value of old noodles that have been passed down for nearly two thousand years is difficult to measure. Antiques that have been around for thousands of years are already very valuable. In this food world, the value of old noodles that have been passed down for thousands of years is far superior to antiques. It can almost be called real value. Liancheng. As long as you are willing to sell it, maybe someone is willing to exchange a city for it.

It's a pity that the thousand-year-old face of the Bai family is the treasure of the family. Only the patriarch has the right to preserve it from generation to generation. Don't even think about it. The patriarch of this generation of Bai family is Bai Ye's uncle, and the heir of the next generation is nothing. Doubt, that 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 that the Bai family would be so bold, and that such an important thing would be allowed to bring out Bai Xue at will. What should I do if I lose it or get robbed.

Bai Ye looked at the small package that was quietly placed in the box, his eyes seemed to be looking at a golden mountain, he almost couldn't restrain his inner greed and reached out his hand, but fortunately he restrained himself in time The *, this is his cousin's thing. Bai Xue trusted him and didn't hide it from him. He couldn't live up to his cousin's trust.

In fact, not to mention that Bai Ye is about to lose control of his greed, so is Liu Shiyu who is on the side. She holds her right hand tightly with her left hand, and seems to be trying her best to restrain herself from taking action. The thousand-year-old face is really attractive to chefs. It's too deadly, even her Liu family doesn't have it. Although the Liu family is now a leader in the Chinese culinary world, the Liu family is a young family that has only risen in modern times. The family history is only more than a hundred years old. It can be said that it is a wealthy family like a nouveau riche. In terms of background, it really cannot be compared with a big family with a history of thousands of years like the Bai family.

"Xiaoxue, put this thing away soon, don't take it out casually, um, there is a safe in my room, quickly lock it for me."

Bai Ye almost trembled and said this sentence, there is no way, this small package is worth more than his small shop. Bai Xue is so carefree here, he is really flustered, if something goes wrong, he can't explain it.

"Hehe, cousin, calm down, don't be so exaggerated. Besides, if you think about it in the lock safe, you're not afraid of being stuffy."

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

"This old noodle is not the same as those antiques. It doesn't disappear after use. The old noodle can be calculated as much as you want. The clan's father still keeps it. I just kneaded it before going out. I have reserved one more for my use this time."

Snow White said indifferently.

"Don't make a fool of yourself, it's because the old noodles can be kneaded a lot with just a little bit, so you should pay more attention. This is the foundation of the current status of the Bai family, and there must be no rumors about it."

Bai Ye sternly reprimanded that the Bai family can now defeat the Xie family and sit firmly at the top of the Chinese cuisine interface. This thousand-year-old noodle is one of the major reasons. Once the old noodle is leaked, it will have a great impact on the Bai family. Yes, although Bai Ye doesn't really have much sense of belonging to the Bai family now, but after all, the predecessor grew up in the Bai family, so he still has some feelings, and Bai Ye has no effect. The cousin in front of me, if Bai Xue caused the leak of the thousand-year-old face, then even if she is the next patriarch, it is impossible to escape the family law.

"Okay, okay, you know."

Seeing Bai Ye's serious look, Bai Xue couldn't help shrinking her neck in fear. She is a lawless little princess in the Bai family, and no one can do anything to her. Even the patriarch's father is not very afraid, but if her cousin is angry She was still a little scared, blah blah blah, what is fear? It's just because she cares about her cousin that she will be obedient.

At the moment, Bai Xue closed the box again, not seeing the thousand-year-old face, Bai Ye and Liu Shiyu breathed a sigh of relief.

However, at this time, Bai Xue rolled his eyes, thinking from his heart.

"Hey, cousin, how about we have some luck in this competition?"

"What color head?"

Bai Ye, who was relieved, asked with a smile. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com

"Cousin, if you win, I will give you a small piece of thousand-year-old noodles. If I win, you have to play with me for a day."

Snow White blinked and said so.

"Nonsense... Do you know Millennium..."

Seeing Bai Xue, this girl turned out to be a colorful head with a thousand-year-old face, Bai Ye's face turned black, is this girl lacking in heart? In the end, she is not the people, and once there is a problem with the old face, she will take the responsibility of Daze.

He was just about to get angry and give this ignorant girl an ideological education class, but Bai Xue's next sentence made him swallow it again.

"Because it's my cousin, I gave you special treatment, but let's talk about it first, even if it's my cousin, you can't keep your old face privately. You can only use the old face I gave you once, and you can't leave a new one. old face."

Bai Xue said very seriously.

So, the night began to tangle...
