Every day is one step closer to reality

Chef Xiao Bing went to see the koi in the pond during his free time. By that time, Feng Yi was no longer squatting by the pond.

Observing the status of the koi group, Xiao Bing thinks there is no problem.

"Quite energetic."

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

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

The housekeeper looked at the group of koi carps swimming in the pond with emotion and a little helplessness in his eyes.

"What's wrong with these fish?" Xiao Bing asked uncertainly.

He didn't see the problem, but the housekeeper wouldn't show such a look for no reason.

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

Xiao Bing knew as soon as he heard that there must be something strange about these fish that he could not understand.

"Then...does the feed of these koi carps need to be changed?" Xiao Bing asked.

"It has nothing to do with the feed, just mix it how you want."

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

Unless the housekeeper took out this, no one 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 sealing every day. However, in the eyes of others, Feng Yi was just addicted to walking fish and enjoyed walking fish every day.

However, Xiao Bing has been paying attention to the koi carp, and found that the appetite of these koi carps has increased!

He didn't dare to feed more, so the amount only increased a little. Spreading too much feed can cause problems.

the other side.

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

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

Bai Youwei's father, Mr. Bai, left him a difficult problem before his death. If you solve it, you can get the recipes and formulas left by the old man. If it can't be broken, there's nothing we can do.

In Yangcheng, the Bai family belongs to the new rich. In terms of historical background, they are not as good as those old brands, but in terms of assets, they are far ahead.

During the market reshuffle caused 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 cook.

Bai Youwei's cooking skills are average, but he has a great business acumen. It's just that Mr. Bai has different ideas from him. Mr. Bai thinks it's good to develop small restaurants, but Bai Youwei wants to make money by shuffling the market. It's a rare opportunity.

After the two people's different concepts collided, they finally made a bet——

They developed separately, and the old man opened his own restaurant. Bai Youwei took part of the entrepreneurial capital to realize his dream.

Mr. Bai, who maintains his own restaurant, relies almost entirely on the support of old customers. However, as each year passes, more and more new things are on the market, and the number of old customers gradually decreases. The remaining ones cannot support this restaurant. Not to mention expansion.

On the other hand, Bai Youwei's business is getting bigger and bigger, he has recruited more and more talents, and his stall is getting wider and wider.

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

Mr. Bai cannot 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 traveled far away from time to time. Or he stayed in a small restaurant and did not open it for business. He did not know what he was researching in there. He said it was new flavors, new dishes, new recipes, and top secret recipes, but there was no one else. Saw it.

It wasn't 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 by cracking the password can you open the top-secret recipe. If the password combination is wrong, the old man's sentence "Don't force things you don't have a chance to do" will pop up.

Don't force it!

I just can’t afford to lose!

Bai Youwei has tried it many times. If he makes a mistake once, he has to wait half a year before trying again. He is so angry that his blood pressure soars countless times.

He didn't know if there were any of the old man's top-secret recipes in them, but it was like an obsession. Even if there were no so-called top-secret recipes, he would still open them to see what was hidden inside.

Bai Youwei opened the password page and entered the corresponding password after combining Feng Yi with the snake bone.

Thumb——

The page changes and shows that the password is correct.

Bai Youwei breathed rapidly and stared at the screen.

A video pops up.

It was recorded by the old man before his death:

"I made the password so complicated just because I don't want you to see this too soon. I hope that when you see this, it will be 20 years later. Let's try to see if these works of mine will still be available in 20 years. Satisfy people’s tastes!”

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

Not only did he eat, but after he finished eating, he made a video in private complaining about the shortcomings of the ingredients, heat, ingredients, etc., but he also talked about the advantages of each dish.

When not traveling far away, I study recipes by myself in small restaurants. In the edited video, each short segment is a recipe for making a dish, and Mr. Bai will also remind you of the points to pay attention to for each dish.

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

He said that the old man didn't dare to innovate because he was old, he didn't dare to look up and look forward, and he was always guarding the little things he didn't want to change.

And the old man’s dozens of hours of video was just to tell him——

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

I'll slap you in the face again in 20 years!

After the videos about recipes and formulas, at the end of the video, Mr. Bai was sitting relaxedly on an old-fashioned bamboo chair, shaking his fan:

“What did you tell me back then? ‘What you said doesn’t count, what I say doesn’t count, the market has the final say.’ Then let the market verify it!

"If, I mean if, in case, you don't survive until 20 years later, then let Xiao Jing and Xiao Lu come to see if I have been eliminated!"

Having said this, Mr. Bai leaned in front of the camera, his face that was extremely old due to illness smiled very happily: "I haven't lost yet."

After the video ends, there is a countdown screen.

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

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

But these are no longer important.

Bai Jing waited, leaving time for his father to adjust his mood.

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

Bai Jingcai stepped forward and asked: "Grandpa left too many recipes and formulas. Let's choose one to try first?"

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

Bai Youwei had an impression of everything mentioned in the video. He just glanced at the list, and then marked somewhere with his finger: "That's it."

Bai Jing looked strange and opened his mouth. He was about to persuade his father to change it to another one, but then he thought about it and tried this one first. This was not considered mainstream back then, and it is hard to say whether it will be accepted by more people now.

In terms of cooking skills, Bai Youwei is not as good as Bai Jing, and they attach great importance to this matter, so Bai Jing does the cooking himself.

…

On Bai Lu's side, he didn't even bother to fish for the koi he was interested in. He chased his father and his brother back, but didn't see any of them.

Bai Lu was devastated. He now knew that it wasn't his business that had a problem, it must be some other big secret! He felt that his father and brother had abandoned him, and would not tell him any secrets they had, thus excluding him.

He got emotional and wanted to leave home, but he was stopped and not allowed to go out. He was told that he had an important task left for him, but he had to stay at home for two days first and was not allowed to go out to eat or drink.

Bai Lu was not convinced.

What does eating and drinking mean? It tastes bad and he doesn't want to move his mouth!

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

Bai Lu has no business talent, and he can't get into the kitchen. He almost blew up the kitchen after trying it a few times, but he is very keen on food, and his tongue is no worse than a professional food critic. Many times, their own restaurants launch New products will be tasted and evaluated by him.

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 whom he hadn't seen for a long time was also sitting here.

I always feel that the atmosphere is a bit serious and heavy.

Bai Jing brought out a piece of soup.

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

The smell can't be said to be unpleasant, but it's not bad either.

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

Bai Lu had had kelp and mung bean soup before, but it was salty, not surprising, and not very impressive. The bowl of durian in front of him was obviously a dessert, and it was different from the soup he had had before. As for what else is added inside, it's hard to tell.

However, Bai Lu never relies on his eyes and nose to evaluate food. His nose is not that keen. You have to taste it to know whether it is delicious or not.

Carefully taste a small half spoonful first.

His brows furrowed and then relaxed, and he tasted another spoonful.

It smells a bit strong, but tastes pleasantly refreshing!

It's very novel, well-made but a little rustic. It doesn't have the flashy and showy feel of the popular desserts on the market today, but the combination of each ingredient is just right, with more being too greasy and less being too bland.

It's slightly chilled, but not too cold. It's just the right temperature to drink.

Now that the Mid-Autumn Festival has passed for several days, those in Rongcheng are already wearing long-sleeved coats, while those in Yangcheng are still wearing short-sleeved coats. This refreshing and refreshing dessert is also very popular nowadays.

The bowl of dessert was finished before I knew it.

Under the eyes of everyone, Bai Lu said frankly: "If I were a customer, I wouldn't feel how amazing it is when I taste it, but I will order it next time I come to the store! But people who don't eat durian will definitely not be able to accept it. Brother, please develop a Go to the durian version? But the durian version is definitely not as good as this version.”

Bai Lu was still voicing his opinions, but the others ignored him and all took a bowl and tasted it.

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

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

Feng Yi said to eat.

Bai Lu found a thermos and filled a jar to send to Feng Yi. When he went there, he also brought a fish tank.

He was going to catch someone else's fish. He said it was a gift, but it wasn't easy to catch it for free. Anyway, his brother had done so much, so it was only a wish to bring some food.

Didn't I say that they were able to see these things in advance because of Feng Yi's magical identification ability.

Bai Youwei didn't stop him. After confirming that the password was correct, the balance of the appraisal was transferred to Feng Yi, and he also sent Feng Yi a red envelope to thank him.

Bai Lu went to the ground and handed the thermos to Feng Yi.

"The new product that is about to be launched has just been developed. Brother Yi, please try it."

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

“Durian, kelp and mung bean soup.”

"..."

It is indeed not such 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 carried the can back to the house.

Bai Luze immediately rushed to the koi pond with the fish tank in his arms.

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

"Why do you feel that the fish in this pond has gained a lot of weight after not seeing it for two days?"

Have you tried durian, kelp and mung bean soup?
