Daddy! Come Home for Dinner!-Chapter 408: Absolute Taste Perception

Ye Fei nodded, "I haven’t tried the ’Absolute Taste’ stuffed yellow croaker yet. The day after tomorrow is Mid-Autumn Festival, and we’re supposed to go to the old house. We can’t eat it that day. How about tomorrow, we go to ’Absolute Taste’ and try it?"

"Sure." Zhao Gushen readily agreed.

"But, can you really taste it?" Zhao Gushen could only discern the subtle differences.

But as for what exactly was different, what Gu Changfeng had added, he could not taste it.

"Actually..." Ye Fei smiled sheepishly, "I haven’t told you this, not because I wanted to keep it from you or anything, it’s just that it never came to mind."

"What is it?" Zhao Gushen was curious.

"I have absolute taste." Ye Fei said, "It’s just so natural for me, like something I was born with. So since you didn’t specifically ask, it just didn’t come to mind."

"Absolute taste?" Zhao Gushen was surprised, "Such a talent actually exists. But how did you know you have absolute taste?"

"At home in Ye City, since I was little enough to help in the kitchen, I followed my dad in the back kitchen. As I grew older, I started learning to cook. I accidentally discovered that in tasting dishes, I could discern even the smallest details of the seasoning."

"The ratios of seasonings might be surprising, but I could taste everything that was added. Although I can’t taste the precise ratios, I can tell which flavor was added more and which less. Based on what I tasted, I slowly explored and attempted, and eventually could replicate those seasoning ratios myself."

"At first, I didn’t think much of it, just assumed it was quite normal. Later, my dad started teaching me cooking, and one part was having me taste a dish to tell everything that was added. In the end, I could say everything without missing a single thing."

"My dad was surprised but didn’t think much at first, just thought maybe my taste was particularly sensitive. Yet, it’s not coincidence if it happens every time, and when it happened repeatedly, my dad realized I was born with absolute taste."

"Therefore, he planned to pass on the recipes to me, hoping that I could take over the family restaurant someday. With my skills and talent, I would be able to make the family restaurant flourish. Even if it couldn’t become a big restaurant, it could still gain a certain reputation." 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

"So, my dad always kept me company. But he never told anyone about the absolute taste, nor did he let me tell. Even my mom and sister don’t know," Ye Fei said.

"My dad knows their temperaments and worries that if they knew, they’d cause some trouble trying to exploit me for some purpose," Ye Fei said, "So, the first people he kept it from were them."

"My dad is quite conservative and cautious. He always believed that if a person possesses a too outstanding, especially unique, talent, one must carefully keep it a secret and not let others know easily," Ye Fei stated, "Otherwise, you never know what might come."

"And we’re just ordinary folks, without background or connections, if really bullied, we can only bear it," Ye Fei said, "Also, it’s not possible to only keep it from my mom and Ye Ning. If others find out, they would know too. So simply, we didn’t tell anyone, only my dad and I know."
