Chapter 142 The Revival of Taste

As the passenger window slowly rolled down, Xue Xiaoqin finally saw the signboard of Xiaobai Restaurant.

Such a remote store doesn't look like much.

However, Xue Xiaoqin will not judge a store by its appearance, after all, her original car wash shop was only a remote shop in the beginning, and she knows that it is not easy to do business.

Xue Xiaoqin and Chen Wenhai got off the car together and walked into the store.

It was already past the meal time, Han Wei also left, and the store was relatively quiet, with only three or four customers.

Bai Xiaobai originally planned to wait for these customers to leave, then close the shop and go shopping.

It's just that I didn't expect another customer to come to the door, and it was an old customer who brought a new customer.

"Welcome, what's for dinner today?" Bai Xiaobai's impression of Chen Wenhai was so deep, the scene where he tore up the notice at the door last night is still vivid in his mind.

"Boss Bai, I want a bowl of fresh meat wontons." After Chen Wenhai ordered the food proficiently, he turned to Xue Xiaoqin and asked, "Honey, what do you eat? I'll order it for you, or you can order it yourself."

Xue Xiaoqin chose a seat near the back, sat down and said calmly, "I'll order it myself."

However, after she blurted out these words, she soon realized that something was wrong. There were no food promotion posters in this store, and there was not even a menu.

"Boss, do you have a menu in your store?" Xue Xiaoqin asked, looking at the empty dining table.

"There is no menu, only instructions for customers, posted on the glass." Bai Xiaobai said frankly.

"There is no menu. Customer notice?" Xue Xiaoqin, like most people visiting for the first time, thinks this store is very strange, why does it not even have a menu.

Because the system does not provide a menu, Bai Xiaobai has to write a customer notice every time he launches a new product.

Xue Xiaoqin got up and looked at the customer notices on the glass surface of the glass kitchen.

Each notice has the price of the food introduced.

There is no such thing as less than 50 yuan. The cheapest cup of Kunlun Snow Mountain ice-free spring water and supreme tea eggs are both priced at 50 yuan.

The price of the small fresh meat wontons ordered by my husband is even more exaggerated, 300 yuan/15 pieces, an average of 20 yuan a piece, which is nearly 40 times more expensive than the flat meat of S county snacks.

However, Xue Xiaoqin has also seen the market, and she can still accept this price, but she feels that this kind of location and the decoration environment of this store do not match the price.

Xue Xiaoqin only hesitated for a moment, and ordered simply, "Boss, then I also want a small fresh meat wonton."

"Okay, wait a minute." Bai Xiaobai said, and went back to the glass kitchen to prepare food.

In fact, Xue Xiaoqin not only has no interest in cooking, but also has no interest in food, which stems from a special experience she had when she was a child.

When Xue Xiaoqin was seven years old, she went to play at her grandmother's house in the countryside.

Her grandmother raised several boxes of bees in the vegetable garden to produce honey.

Xue Xiaoqin was too young and ignorant at that time, so she thought it was fun, so she stuck out her tongue against the crack of the yard door and made a little face at the beehive.

In the end, if she didn't die, she wouldn't die. Two bees stung her tongue hard.

The situation was very serious, and the tongue swelled immediately. Although after treatment, the swelling subsided and nothing serious happened, but after Xue Xiaoqin's young tongue was damaged, her sense of taste became dull.

The sense of taste is not completely lost, but the sensitivity to sour, sweet, bitter, spicy and salty is much reduced, and it is difficult to feel the original taste of food.

Because the situation was complicated, the doctor was helpless, and only said a word of comfort: Her condition may be due to damage to the taste nerve, which is a bit like temporary amnesia. No accidents, temporary dull taste, and one day she will completely recover.

Because the doctor really had nothing to do, Xue Xiaoqin's family also had nothing to do.Anyway, the sense of taste has not been completely lost, so the matter will be over.

After becoming an adult, especially after earning a lot of money in the car wash shop, Xue Xiaoqin went to a well-known specialized hospital in the Imperial City for an examination. The chief physician and expert still replied with the same comfort: Your physiological indicators are normal. It stands to reason that after so many years, The effect of the bee venom should be completely gone, and the sense of taste should be completely restored. I have never encountered this situation with you, or if you supplement nutrition and do more tongue rhythm, it may suddenly be fine one day.

The doctor said that one day she would suddenly get better, but the miracle never happened to Xue Xiaoqin.

With a slow sense of taste, she can't enjoy the joy of cooking at all, let alone the real taste of food.

So every time she cooks food, she is just perfunctory, plus she has a slow sense of taste and is not good at seasoning, so the food she cooks is extremely unpalatable.

Chen Wenhai was naturally accommodating and rarely complained.But the son is different, to tell the truth: Bah!Mom, the dishes you cook are really unpalatable!I don't eat, I'm going to eat out.

Xue Xiaoqin was shocked by her son's words. In a moment of despair, she even turned to a fortune-telling booth on the street to tell her when she would be able to get rid of the curse of dull taste.

The old fortune-teller said it very mysteriously: In your previous life, you were a fairy in the sky, but because of greed, you ate the peaches in the peach garden, and were demoted to the lower realm by the queen mother.The reason why your tongue is stung by bees and your sense of taste becomes poor is the retribution of this life.However, it is not impossible to completely restore the sense of taste, unless you can taste the best food in the world.

Xue Xiaoqin is a high-level intellectual, and the reason why divination is purely for psychological comfort, but the fortune-telling old man's words are so outrageous that even fairies move out.

Hehe, Xue Xiaoqin left without giving the old man a dime.

In retrospect, although the fortune-teller's words were false, the last sentence may not be true. If you can taste very delicious food, it may stimulate your taste buds.Before, a doctor advised her to eat more nutritious food and move her tongue more, which might help her recover.

This is actually one of the reasons why Gao Xiaoqin and Chen Wenhai came to visit Xiaobai Restaurant.

After all, Chen Wenhai has always said that the food in this restaurant is delicious, and it will be unforgettable after eating it once. Xue Xiaoqin hopes that the top-notch food in this restaurant can help her strange disease to some extent.

"I've been waiting for a long time, take it easy." Bai Xiaobai's magnetic voice brought Xue Xiaoqin back to reality from the memory.

Small wontons with fresh meat are served in a sea bowl with red double dragons playing with pearls and cloud patterns in the glaze.

The thin-skinned and full-fleshed wontons are half floating in the clear soup, dotted with bright purple seaweed, exuding an incomparable aroma.

Just looking at it makes people salivate.

Chen Wenhai had already picked up the spoon, eating wontons one by one, enjoying himself.

Xue Xiaoqin picked up the spoon and took a sip of the soup first.

Sure enough, what my husband thinks is delicious, but to me, it is still weak, and I can't feel the delicious taste.It can only be felt through the nose. This broth is indeed very mellow, and it is not greasy at all. It washes between the lips and teeth in the throat, and it is particularly refreshing.

Xue Xiaoqin continued to eat a mouthful of fresh meat wontons.

The small wonton skin is thin and smooth, and the meat inside is very tender and chewy quite well, but the saltiness of the meat filling is still not enough.

To put it bluntly, in fact, the sense of taste is as dull as ever and has not fully recovered.

Sure enough, the idea of ​​eating top-level delicacies to restore the sense of taste was shattered.

After regaining her composure, Xue Xiaoqin absent-mindedly bit another small wonton.

hiss--

Because she ate too fast, Xue Xiaoqin's tongue was burned by the soup. She opened her mouth and took a breath of cool air, then continued to chew the small wontons.

But at this moment, a miracle happened.

But because of the heat, she suddenly found that the fresh meat wontons on her tongue became extremely delicious.

As the doctor said, the temporary blunt sense of taste, nothing unexpected, when the time comes, it will get better one day.

It's just that the timing came so suddenly that Xue Xiaoqin was caught off guard.

One moment, the taste of wontons and broth was mediocre, even tasteless, but the next moment, the delicacy swept across her mouth like a storm from the sky, and the taste bud cells on her tongue were about to jump for joy.

In order to prove that it was not her own illusion, Xue Xiaoqin tasted several small wontons.

Yes, that's how it feels!
The delicious broth, the smooth and tough seaweed are stirring between the lips and teeth, and every bite of the wonton, the just right salty fragrance and delicious taste permeate the tip of the tongue bit by bit, and I really want to swallow my tongue with every bite.

Really delicious!

The insensitivity of taste that has been entangled with me for more than 20 years has finally disappeared without a trace.

Xue Xiaoqin had waited too long for this moment, she almost gave up.

Ever since her tongue was stung by a bee, Xue Xiaoqin's grandmother in the countryside blamed herself very much. She wanted to raise some bees to get some honey for her granddaughter, but instead she hurt her own granddaughter.Even when she was dying, she kept talking about it.

Thinking of my grandma's unsatisfactory death, thinking that the sense of taste is finally no longer dull, thinking that I can finally taste the real taste of food again.

Xue Xiaoqin was really mixed at the moment, emotions welled up in her heart, and two lines of hot tears couldn't help falling down in a straight line. She shook Chen Wenhai beside her vigorously, and said excitedly, "Husband, my sense of taste has finally fully recovered."
