Chapter 358 Lost Taste
"Qinglin, you're on the night shift today, why are you back at this time?" Song Chen asked in surprise.
Ji Qinglin sighed and said helplessly: "Chef Song, such a big thing happened to you, how can I not come back?"
Song Chen was slightly startled, then thought of today's challenge, and instantly understood why Ji Qinglin rushed back, "Director Yang told you, right? Oh, really, it's just losing a challenge, what a big deal."
Ji Qinglin frowned and said worriedly, "Chef Song, this is no small matter. You are recognized as the ceiling of the culinary world, and now you have lost to Xiao Yu. What do you think the outside world will think?"
"What the outside world thinks is not important. What matters is, what do you think?"
"What do I think?" Ji Qinglin was stunned for a moment, then said angrily: "I definitely don't believe you will lose. There is something fishy here."
Song Chen smiled. Seeing Ji Qinglin's concern and trust in him, he was relieved. "Come in and talk."
Ji Qinglin followed Song Chen into the office and said, "Chef Song, I don't believe Xiaoyu's cooking skills are better than yours. There must be other reasons why you lost, right?"
Song Chen didn't answer in a hurry, but poured two cups of tea, "Drink some tea first. You rushed here in such a hurry that your lips are dry." He handed Ji Qinglin a cup of tea.
Ji Qinglin took the teacup, said thank you, and looked at Song Chen impatiently, waiting for his explanation.
Song Chen drank a sip of tea, thought for a moment, and then said, "Do you know why I value you so much and train you with all my strength?"
"why?"
"Because you are different to me." Song Chen's words made Ji Qinglin slightly stunned. Why did it sound a bit ambiguous?
"Don't get me wrong. What I mean is that I can only taste the delicious food you cook."
"You can only taste the food I cook...?!" Ji Qinglin repeated this sentence. When he said the last sentence, he was shocked. "Chef Song, what do you mean by this?"
Song Chen smiled slightly and said easily: "Literally."
"..." Ji Qinglin looked at Song Chen with a complicated expression. Only the food she cooked could be tasted. Doesn't that mean that Song Chen couldn't taste the food cooked by others?
Song Chen didn't say anything, giving Ji Qinglin time to recover.
"Chef Song, why is this happening?" After a long while, Ji Qinglin came back to his senses and asked worriedly, "Can it be cured?"
"Actually, I suddenly lost my sense of taste three years ago. I've been looking for a cure for this disease, but I couldn't find a treatment."
Song Chen said bitterly, "For the past three years, I've relied on my years of experience to keep the kitchen running. If people knew I couldn't taste the food, I'm afraid the reputation I've built up over the years would collapse."
"However, in the past three years, I have also found a doctor who can help me regain some of my sense of taste." At this point, he glanced at Ji Qinglin. "Don't I travel frequently? Actually, I went to see this doctor for treatment."
Ji Qinglin suddenly realized.
At first, she was curious why Song Chen went on business trips so often?
After all, as a chef, traveling on business seems unnecessary.
But now she understood that Song Chen was treating her sense of taste.
