Chapter 126 Dessert

Chef Xiao Bing went to see the koi in the pond in his spare time. Feng Yi was no longer squatting by the pond.

Observing the state of the koi, Xiao Bing felt that there was no problem.

"They are quite energetic."

There is nothing to worry about. It's just walking the fish. As long as the boss is happy, it's fine.

However, in the evening, Xiao Bing found the butler standing by the koi pond.

The butler looked at the koi swimming in the pond with emotion and a little helplessness.

"Is there anything wrong with these fish?" Xiao Bing asked uncertainly.

He didn't see the problem, but the butler would not show such a look for no reason.

"No...big problem. I just recalled some past events. Some things can't be avoided!" The old butler sighed.

Xiao Bing knew that there must be something strange about these fish that he couldn't understand.

"Then...should the feed of these koi be changed?" Xiao Bing asked.

"It has nothing to do with the feed. You can mix it as you want."

The housekeeper said, took out his mobile phone and took some photos and videos of the koi pond. He also took out a palm-sized fish-shaped stone from the rockery next to it and placed it next to it for reference.

If the housekeeper hadn't taken this out, no one would have noticed that there was such a stone there.

I just don't know what this stone is used for.

In the next two days, Feng Yi practiced precise control and energy closure every day, but in the eyes of others, Feng Yi was just addicted to walking the fish and was happy to walk the fish every day.

However, Xiao Bing kept an eye on the koi and found that the appetite of these koi had increased!

He didn't dare to feed more, and only increased the amount a little. Too much feed can easily cause problems.

On the other side.

The two Mr. Bai who returned with the snake bone chain and the "password" closed the door first to crack the secret inside.

The rearranged jade chain and the corresponding print on the snake bone chain are a password.

Before his death, Bai Youwei's father, Mr. Bai, left him a difficult problem. If he could solve it, he could get the recipes and formulas left by the old man. If he couldn't solve it, there was nothing he could do.

In Yangcheng, the Bai family was a new noble. In terms of historical heritage, they were not as good as those old brands, but in terms of assets, they were far ahead.

In the market reshuffle brought about by the abnormal climate period, Bai Youwei seized the opportunity and made a fortune.

When Bai Youwei was young, his family opened a small restaurant, and Mr. Bai was the chef.

Bai Youwei's cooking skills were average, but he had a good business sense. But Mr. Bai had different ideas from him. The old man thought that it would be fine to develop a small restaurant, but Bai Youwei wanted to make money by taking advantage of the market reshuffle. The opportunity was rare.

After the collision of different concepts, the two finally made a bet -

Develop separately, the old man will run his own restaurant, and Bai Youwei will take part of the start-up funds to realize his dream.

Mr. Bai, who runs his own restaurant, relies almost entirely on old customers. However, as the years go by, there are more and more new things on the market, and the number of old customers gradually decreases. Those who remain can't support this restaurant, let alone expansion.

On the other hand, Bai Youwei's business is getting bigger and bigger, he has found more and more talents, and his stalls are spreading wider and wider.

When young people have choices, they prefer those more refined and special food. If there is any Internet celebrity food, you have to queue for hours to try it!

Mr. Bai can't keep up with the fast fashion of young people, nor can he stop the changes in the market.

Bai Youwei said to him: "You only live in your own rhythm, but the times are constantly changing. If you can't keep up, you will be eliminated."

Mr. Bai was not convinced, so he closed the restaurant and went on a long trip from time to time, or lived in a small restaurant and didn't open it for business. I don't know what he was researching inside. He said it was a new taste, new dishes, new recipes, and top-secret recipes, but no one else had seen it.

It was not until his death that Mr. Bai told Bai Youwei and Bai Jing about this. The password on the snake bone bracelet was set by an expert in this field that Mr. Bai specially found. Only after the password is cracked can the top-secret recipe be opened. If the password combination is wrong, the old man's words "Don't force things that are not meant to be" will pop up.

Don't force it!

I just can't afford to lose!

Bai Youwei has tried many times. If he makes a mistake once, he has to wait half a year before trying again. I don't know how many times his blood pressure has soared.

He doesn't know if there is any top-secret recipe of the old man in these, but it is like an obsession. Even if there is no so-called top-secret recipe, he has to open it to see what is hidden inside.

Bai Youwei opened the password page and entered the corresponding password after Feng Yi combined the snake bones.

Ding——

The page changed, showing that the password was correct.

Bai Youwei breathed rapidly, his eyes fixed on the screen.

A video popped up.

It was recorded by the old man before his death:

"I made the password so complicated because I don't want you to see it too early. I hope that you will see it 20 years later. Let's try and see if my works can still satisfy people's tastes 20 years later!"

In the last few years of his life, the old man traveled to many places and tasted delicacies from all over the world, some well-known to the public, and some unknown to the people in remote places.

He not only ate, but also took videos to complain about the shortcomings of the ingredients, heat, and ingredients after eating, but also talked about the advantages of each dish.

When he didn't go far away, he would study the recipes in a small restaurant. In the edited video, each short segment is the preparation method of a dish, and Mr. Bai would also remind the attention points of each dish.

Bai Youwei looked at these, and he knew that the old man had been holding his breath,

He said that the old man was too old to innovate, and he didn’t dare to look up and look forward. He was always unwilling to change the little thing he was guarding.

And the old man’s video, which lasted dozens of hours, was to tell him-

I changed it but you didn’t see it! I don’t want you to see it either!

I’ll slap you in the face in 20 years!

After the videos about recipes and formulas, at the end of the video, Mr. Bai sat relaxedly on an old bamboo chair, fanning himself:

“What did you tell me back then? ‘You don’t count, I don’t count, the market has the final say’, then let the market verify it!

“If, I mean if, in case, you don’t make it to 20 years later, then let Xiaojing and Xiaolu come and see if I’m eliminated!”

At this point, Mr. Bai came to the camera, and his face, which was unusually old due to illness, smiled very happily: “I haven’t lost yet. "

After the video ended, there was a countdown screen.

Only after seeing this did Bai Youwei realize that even without Feng Yi's help to crack the password, the password lock of this video would be automatically unlocked after the 20-year countdown ended.

It has been almost 19 years since the old man passed away. If they wait for more than a year, this video will still appear in front of them.

But these are no longer important.

Bai Jing waited for a while, leaving time for his father to adjust his emotions.

About ten minutes later, Bai Youwei wiped his face casually and his breathing calmed down.

Bai Jing stepped forward and asked: "Grandpa left too many recipes and formulas. Let's pick one and try it first?"

Bai Youwei took the list handed over by Bai Jing, which listed all the dishes and formulas mentioned in the old man's video in categories.

Bai Youwei had an impression of those mentioned in the video. He just glanced at this list and then swiped his finger somewhere: "This is it. "

Bai Jing looked strange, opened his mouth, and was about to persuade his father to change another one, but changed his mind and thought that it was okay to try this one first. This was not mainstream back then, and it was hard to say whether it could be accepted by more people now.

In terms of cooking skills, Bai Youwei was not as good as Bai Jing, and they attached great importance to this matter, so Bai Jing made it himself.

…

Bai Lu didn't even bother to catch the koi he had set his eyes on, and chased his father and brother back, but he didn't see any of them.

Bai Lu was sad, he now knew that it was not his own business that had problems, it must be some other big secret! He felt that his father and his brother had abandoned him, and didn't tell him the secrets, excluding him.

He was emotional and wanted to run away from home, but was stopped and not allowed to go out, saying that there was an important task left for him, but he had to stay at home for two days first and couldn't go out to eat and drink.

Bai Lu was not convinced by this.

What What do you mean by eating and drinking indiscriminately! He won't even eat if the food doesn't taste good!

However, Bai Lu stayed at home for two days and didn't eat anything heavy.

Bai Lu has no business talent and can't get into the kitchen. He almost blew up the kitchen after trying a few times, but he is very sensitive to food. His tongue is no worse than that of a professional food critic. Many times, when their own restaurants launch new products, they will ask him to taste and evaluate them.

Bai Lu was quite happy to be assigned an important task.

Until two days later.

Bai Lu looked at the people sitting at the dining table.

In addition to his parents and sister-in-law, his aunt, who he hadn't seen for a long time, was also sitting here.

The atmosphere always felt a bit serious and heavy.

Bai Jing brought out a soup.

Bai Lu looked at the exquisite porcelain bowl placed in front of him.

The smell was not bad, but it didn't smell much better.

"Durian... kelp... mung bean soup? "

Bai Lu had drunk kelp and mung bean soup before, but it was salty, not amazing, and not impressive. The bowl of durian in front of him was obviously a dessert, different from the soup he had drunk before. As for what else was added to it, it was impossible to tell.

But Bai Lu never evaluated food with his eyes and nose, his nose was not that sharp. You have to taste it to know whether it is a delicacy.

First, carefully tasted half a spoonful.

His brows frowned and stretched, and he tasted another spoonful.

It smelled a bit heavy, but tasted pleasantly refreshing!

Very novel, finely made but It is also a bit rustic, without the gorgeous showmanship of the popular desserts on the market today, but each ingredient is matched just right, one more point is too greasy, one less point is too bland.

It is slightly chilled, but not too cold, and it is just right to drink at this temperature.

Now that the Mid-Autumn Festival has passed for several days, people in Yongcheng have already worn long-sleeved jackets, while people in Yangcheng are still wearing short sleeves. This kind of refreshing and cool dessert is also very popular now.

A bowl of dessert was finished unknowingly.

In the eyes of everyone, Bai Lu said frankly: "If I were a customer, I would not feel how amazing it is when I tasted it, but I would order it next time I come to the store! But people who don't eat durian will definitely not accept it. Brother, can you develop a version without durian? But the version without durian is definitely not as good as this one."

Bai Lu was still talking about his opinions, but others ignored him and filled a bowl to taste.

"My task is completed? Can I go out?" Bai Lu looked around and ran to the kitchen to find his brother, "You cooked so much? "

Thinking of the fish in Feng Yi's koi pond, Bai Lu sent a message to Feng Yi asking him if he would eat durian products, as his family was developing a new product.

Feng Yi said yes.

Bai Lu found a thermos can and filled a can for Feng Yi, and brought a fish tank with him.

He went to catch someone else's fish. He said it was a gift, but it was not good to catch it for nothing. Anyway, his brother had done so much, and it was a thoughtful thing to bring some food.

As I said, they could see these things early because of Feng Yi's magical identification ability.

Bai Youwei did not stop him. After confirming that the password was correct, the balance of the identification was transferred to Feng Yi. He also sent Feng Yi a red envelope to thank him.

Bai Lu arrived and handed the thermos to Feng Yi.

"It's a new product that will be launched soon. It has just been developed. Brother Yi, please try it."

"What new product? Durian?" Feng Yi could already smell it.

"Durian, kelp and mung bean soup."

"..."

It is indeed not a mainstream combination, but it is not that no one has done it. It is just mediocre in the market competition.

Since it was developed by the Bai family, you can give it a try.

Feng Yi took the can back to the house.

Bai Lu immediately rushed to the koi pond with the fish tank.

However, when he saw the fish in the pond, Bai Lu was stunned.

"Why do I feel like the fish in this pond have gotten fatter after not seeing them for two days?"

Have you ever tried durian, kelp and mung bean soup?
