Speaking of which, the old dough was actually a small piece of dough first taken from the kneaded dough and then kept well to be reused in the future. Next time, when another dough was fermented with the preserved dough, people would take another piece down from it and continued keeping it.
The process would repeat again and again. After that, the yeast in this dough would become more and more mature. Furthermore, they were all quite natural. The dough that was fermented with them would naturally be light and fluffy, tasting extraordinary.
And the Thousand Thread Mantou was a dish that needed that kind of mouthfeel. That was the reason why Yuan Zhou would choose the old dough. Meanwhile, the system had given him a surprise. It was, surprisingly, a piece of old dough left over by the several former hosts.
That surprised Yuan Zhou more. Perhaps, he realized something about the several former hosts from this old dough.
