Shiji Starts from the Beginning of the Month

But why is this, it shouldn't be.

Unless, Jiang Xia thought of a possibility, but how to verify it?

By the way, there is also the bottle of Oi Chuan's old man. Jiang Xia thought of this hot sauce jar, and he still remembered the taste of this jar of hot sauce before.

Jiang Xia then took out the hot sauce that the old man Ji Chuan had served a long time ago, and tasted it again, but this time, the taste didn't seem so strong.

In other words, the taste that he thought was very spicy at first was only slightly spicy this time.

This is impossible. Theoretically, the longer the old man Jichuan's ingredients are kept, the stronger the taste will be. It makes no sense that the taste I tasted this time is not as strong as the last time.

Jiang Xia's complexion was a bit ugly, something seemed to be a little off.

Because of his sense of taste, the results told to him seem to be different from the reality.

Is it because of the bottle of hot sauce?

No, it shouldn't be. Alice also ate Oi Chuan's hot sauce, but the latter obviously didn't have this special experience of his own.

That's right, Jiang Xia probably guessed it, the world of taste in his mouth has been downplayed.

"Jiang Xia, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing Jiang Xia's sudden series of strange actions, Erina asked worriedly.

"It's nothing, remove this plate, let's continue."

Jiang Xia smiled and said.

Spicy is obviously not a good option. The three tried quite a few varieties, but they couldn't find a moderate variety that was mild and brought warmth.The biggest problem is that the spiciness is often enough to produce a burning sensation, which will have a certain paralyzing effect on the tongue, which will affect the taste of the dish itself.

"It's okay, this is the first day, and it's expected that there will be no results. It's getting late, so let's go here first."

Jiang Xia checked the time, and then sent the two little girls out of the institute.

Before leaving, Erina obviously still had some worries in his eyes, after all, Jiang Xia's behavior after that plate of peppers was really abnormal.

But Erina couldn't say what was abnormal. On the surface, what Jiang Xia did was still the same as before, and there was no difference.

"You really have nothing to do?"

Erina asked one last question.

"Of course not. If there is anything, I will tell you."

Jiang Xia patted Erina's head and said with a smile.

When the two of them were sent away, Jiang Xia's expression became ugly.

It's not that he has nothing to do, on the contrary, things are very serious!

For a chef, there are two most important things, one is the hands, and the other is the tongue.

If you lose your hand, the chef will be crippled directly.

And if a chef loses his sense of taste, maybe he can still cook reasonably well with intuition and instinct.

However, this means that he will permanently lose his creativity.

The biggest reliance for chefs to improve their own cooking is to taste their own cooking with their tongues. Only the feelings they get are the most intuitive, and the narration of others cannot bring the same effect.

Now, what Jiang Xia discovered was that there might be a problem with his sense of taste.

Jiang Xia sneaked into the kitchen after seeing the figures of Alice and Erina completely disappeared.

Taking out the seasonings that were often used before, Jiang Xia tasted them one by one. The more he tasted, the more serious his face became.

Although the gap is not as exaggerated as when it was hot pepper, it is obvious that the flavors of condiments that Jiang Xia often buys are slightly lighter than those in the middle of memory, and ordinary people may not be aware of this change and difference.

But as a chef, Jiang Xia would be very sensitive to even the slightest changes.

What he can confirm now is that his sense of taste does have some problems, but the good news is that this problem is not that serious, not to the extent of completely losing the sense of taste.

Among them, only the difference in spiciness is more obvious, and Jiang Xia can't explain it for the time being.

"System, did you tamper with me?" Jiang Xia asked directly in her heart, but she didn't get a response.

"If something goes wrong with me, you will be at the bottom of the assessment at the end of the year!" Seeing the system pretending to be dead, Jiang Xia added directly.

Threatened by Jiang Xia, the system that was about to pretend to be dead finally gave a response.

[The changes in the host's body are not caused by the system, but by mutations in the blood. 】

After only giving such a reminder, the system was completely calm again. No matter how much Jiang Xia shouted, he could only open various interfaces and could no longer communicate. It seemed that he could not shout out for the time being.

Jiang Xia silently pondered the prompt given by the system.

Bloodline? It's a metaphysical explanation, but it's very possible, because there are also families with various abnormal attributes in the first batch of China. This seems to be a tradition in China, and big families are more or less problematic.

His Jiang Xia's bloodline is the Jiang family in Huaxia, and in this world, the only people from the Jiang family who can still be contacted are Jiang Nannan. It seems that he has to go back again.

When Jiang Xia lowered her head to think, two small heads poked out from the big window in front of the kitchen, one with white hair and one with golden hair, they were Erina and Alice.

For the convenience of usual research, Jiang Xia installed the kitchen on the first floor. The window is located in the crop planting area of ​​the backyard, which can be entered through the door of the backyard.

And just because he was flustered, he forgot that Erina also had the keys to all the doors of his building.

The little girl was obviously worried about Jiang Xia, so she didn't leave, but after walking around for a while, she came back from the back door, just in time to see Jiang Xia's actions in the kitchen through the window.

A normal person would never hide in the kitchen and eat condiments. Combined with the matter of the peppers earlier, Erina also vaguely guessed the truth.

Papapapa, Erina patted the window vigorously, and signaled Jiang Xia to open the window, to see the posture and aura, what Jiang Xia could do, of course he obeyed the order.

Then, the little girl climbed in directly through the window.

Alice hesitated for a moment, and followed Erina to crawl in. This feeling was quite exciting.

"You still said you wouldn't lie to me, so what are you doing? You clearly have something to hide from me." Erina shouted angrily to Jiang Xia as soon as she landed before she could stand still.

Jiang Xia wanted to reach out to help her, but the latter directly slapped her back.

"Don't touch me!" The little girl frowned, turned her head away, it was obvious that Jiang Xia didn't give an explanation, and she didn't talk to Jiang Xia.

Looking at Erina like this, Jiang Xia felt even cuter.

There are still idiots who don't like Erina in this world, it's outrageous, he will never understand, the happiness of being a tsundere, no, he doesn't have a girlfriend at all.

"I wasn't sure just now, so I want to tell you after I'm sure."

Jiang Xia stared at Erina's bright eyes and said.

Looking at Jiang Xia's eyes, the little girl's face turned red obviously, and she was a little shy to be stared at so scorchingly.

However, Jiang Xia's eyes were indeed very sincere, and Erina could sense that Jiang Xia didn't want her worries, which made her feel a little softer.

"Do you have a problem with your sense of taste?"

The little girl got back to the topic, and asked very worriedly, she couldn't think of any other explanation for Jiang Xia's abnormal behavior except for the problem of taste.

Erina, who is the tongue of God, of course knows the importance of the tongue to a chef, and there can be no slightest problem. No matter how outstanding a genius is, it is very likely that he will perish because of this problem.

In other words, for geniuses, this influence is even greater.

"Could it be because of helping me with the experiment." Alice said with a trace of regret when she heard the words.

Jiang Xia had problems after eating that plate of peppers, so Alice felt that if she didn't get into the trouble of Nakamura Ji, Jiang Xia would have no problems, which made her regret those reckless actions before .

"Of course not. What are you thinking? Besides, I didn't do this research just to help you. It also greatly improved my own cooking."

Jiang Xia interrupted Alice without hesitation.

These little girls are good at everything, they just like to think about things, but perhaps it is precisely because of this character that they become cute.

"Indeed, there is something wrong with my sense of taste."

Seeing that it seemed that he couldn't hide it, Jiang Xia simply admitted it directly. Seeing that Erina and Alice became more worried, he quickly added: "However, it's not a big problem."

"It's not that I've completely lost my sense of taste, it's just that it has faded a little bit, and it doesn't have much impact. Moreover, I have a little clue, and it should be resolved."

Since the system said it was a mutation in the blood, it should not be a physical or medical disease. As long as the origin and background of Jiang's family are clarified, this problem should be solved easily.

After all, this halberd-eating world is a fantasy world!

"Then you have a taste of what this is."

Erina reached out her hand and put it in Jiang Xia's eyes. In the middle of her palm was a small ball of white powder. It seemed that it was the seasoning she had secretly picked up from the kitchen table.

Jiang Xia stuck out his tongue and licked it with lightning speed, it was salty.

"It's salt." Jiang Xia replied calmly.

"You you you! You rascal!" Erina obviously did not expect Jiang Xia's actions.

"I just asked you to take it with your hands, how could you just..."

Feeling the remaining warmth from the center of the palm, Erina felt that the entire palm was still in a tingling sensation.

"Uh, then you didn't tell me."

Now that they are all called hooligans, it shouldn't matter if they are a little more rogue, anyway, the sweetness has already been tasted, and Jiang Xia's current behavior is quite a bit like a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water.

"never mind."

Seeing Jiang Xia's appearance, Erina knew that this scoundrel was just getting cheap and pretending to be good. However, Jiang Xia was able to taste the taste, which proved that what he said was not a lie. He didn't lose his sense of taste, it should just become weaker.

It was much better than the picture in her mind.

This eased Erina's worries a little.

"However, even if it fades, it should have an impact on your cooking level."

Erina thought for a while and asked seriously.

"Hey, you underestimate me too much. I am a chef with a precision field. Even if I don't use my tongue, I can already feel the taste of the ingredients and cooking intuitively. The cooking skills will not be affected. affected."

Jiang Xia said differently.

"Then how are you going to find a solution next?"

Erina ignored Jiang Xia's obvious bragging and nonsense, but asked about his future plans.

"I should go back to the restaurant and ask Jiang Nannan if she knows about this matter. If she knows, she should be able to find a solution."

Jiang Xia thought for a while and said, he didn't tell Erina that if Jiang Nannan had no choice, he could only wait and see what happened, because as a human being, he could do too little for such a reasonable thing .

"Then I'll go with you!"
