Remember [34 Chinese Network .] in one second, wonderful free reading without pop-ups!

The system's prompt made Ash stop for a long time, her heart beat faster, and she had a little more confidence in the task of [fighting tongue cancer].

"What's wrong, Hei-hee?" Lian Yuyan saw that her daughter suddenly stopped, and her face was not good, so she hurriedly asked, "Is there something uncomfortable?" ”

Seeing the worried expressions of his mother and Fang Jinchao, Ash came back to his senses and shook his head, "It's okay, it's just that the long-haul flight is a little tired, let's go." ”

She casually made an excuse, although she was now eager to enter the system to see how much the so-called "space restrictions have been lifted", but the airport was obviously not a good location.

It's already in France, and there's no hurry.

Although less than a year has passed, the streets of France are still so familiar, and Ash's heart sank.

Rao is Ash is very familiar with France, and she has no objections to Fang Jinchao's arrangement, even if there will be a detour and traffic jams, she will remain silent.

Ash behaved like a first-time visitor to France, her eyes kept falling on the European-style buildings outside, but the expression on her face didn't change.

Lian Yuyan saw that her daughter's eyes kept falling on the car window, and said with a smile: "The scenery in Paris is not bad, Xixi, I said that if you really get here, maybe you won't want to go back to China." ”

Ash's face paused slightly, and she glanced sideways at her mother, she smiled so gently, the gentlest in her two lives.

She smiled back and replied: "The scenery is good, but where can I compare to my Greater China, just the food is enough to let me go back!" ”

At this time, her daughter still thinks about food, and even Yuyan really agrees that she is indeed seriously practicing her dream.

She hugged her daughter and said, "Xixi, you will be fine, and your mother will not stop you anymore." But you must never give up, okay? ”

Even Yuyan thought of Ash a few days ago, she was still very afraid, people are always like this, they can only see through the moment of life and death, and some things don't have to be so persistent.

She really doesn't have to let her daughter be the head chef, after the reform of Shiheng Restaurant, she has been paying attention, and Ash is really doing a good job.

Several people didn't say anything all the way, and an hour later they arrived at the hospital where the doctor Wells was, Fang Jinchao had already contacted him in advance, and Ash had been examined after he had passed.

Her luck was very bad, and the result of her diagnosis in this hospital was even worse than in China - stage 4 tongue cancer.

Wells told her that even if three-quarters of her tongue were cut out, there would still be more than 50 percent mortality.

And, after hearing about her previous work schedule, Wells did not tell her not to give up, as other doctors do, but criticized her harshly. He thinks that Ash deserves to consume his body unscrupulously because he is young, and finally drags himself down.

Ash's face turned pale, but it was not because of the doctor's harsh criticism, but even if she went abroad, it was still a dead end.

But she knew that no matter what, it was her fate after all.

So, Ash just said to Wells: "Since cutting your tongue is also death, it's better not to cut it, conservative chemotherapy, you have to give it a fight, right?" ”

Her reaction made Wells look at her differently, because such a little girl, after being terminally ill, was scolded by herself, and it was good to cry her nose. Unexpectedly, she accepted the consequences calmly, and chose conservative treatment calmly.

Wells smiled at Fang Jinchao and said, "This friend is indeed very special, I have a plan here that is more effective than ordinary chemotherapy, which was proposed by the Cartesian University School of Medicine, do you want to try it?" ”

Ash's eyes lit up and he replied without thinking, "Of course you have to try!" ”

Wells raised an eyebrow, "Don't you ask about any side effects?" ”

Ash: "Are the side effects more important than death?" ”

Hearing this, Wells began to explain the plan, "This is a new method for tongue cancer at the University of Paris V, and no one has really tried it yet, and you may be the first case." All chemotherapy has side effects, and this one is no exception, but because no one has tried it, its side effects are – unknown. ”

In other words, Ash is the "guinea pig" of this solution, and the unknown side effects are that all side effects are possible.

However, now that she has lost her sense of taste, and the most important thing is gone, what is there to be afraid of?!

In the end, Ash signed the plan and went through the admission procedures at the hospital.

Of course, she did not give up her intention to return to China, and when she negotiated with Wells about the number of chemotherapy treatments a week and arranged a time to return to China to be the head chef, Wells did not reserve any reservations and called her crazy. But in the end, she came up with a reasonable amount of time, 4 days in the hospital, 1 day to fly, and 2 days for the restaurant to be open. This is repeated until the cancer cells are eradicated.

That night, when Ash's mother had fallen asleep in the middle of the night and Fang Jinchao had also left, he closed his eyes and meditated into the system space.

After a week, she was finally able to re-enter this mysterious space, and the ink color inside was gone, replaced by a very light blue.

The front panel shows a "! Ash opened it, and it was a hint of the completion of [Task 1].

Because of the delay, the reward is very small, but when she sees the reward content, she can't help but feel excited:

"The host delays the completion of the task, and the following rewards are hereby given: 1. The entry restriction of the space will be lifted, and 2. When accepting and performing task 2, the host's sense of taste will be restored within a limited time. Please check.'

Really!

Her tongue cancer and taste failure are both systematic strokes, and after completing the task, they will slowly be lifted.

Without hesitation, Ash immediately went to check the new task:

[Mission 2: Enter a Michelin-starred restaurant as an assistant, limited to one month.]

Tip: The sense of taste will only be restored in the kitchen. 】

It turns out that the so-called time-limited recovery of the sense of taste is such a limitation.

I just don't know that the so-called "kitchen" refers to all the restaurants, or only the Michelin-starred kitchen where she works as an assistant.

Of course, this will soon be verified, and the first week of chemotherapy will be over. Ash was able to try it in the kitchen of Shiheng Restaurant, and if all the kitchens could restore her sense of taste, it would undoubtedly be another opportunity for her.

Although the reward for "taste recovery" has not yet been verified, Ash is still glad that she has at least half a month more, maybe a whole month!

There are so many things to do in a month, the Michelin Guide was released at the end of the year, and if she remembers correctly, the Chinese version of Michelin will come out in these two years.

Originally, the Michelin Guide may not have been released so early, but Ash had thought about it for a long time, and the emergence of this food system had changed too many things. It's like Oliver, who wasn't supposed to be in China, suddenly came and went to the same school as her.

Ash doesn't think it's a coincidence, she thinks it's a butterfly effect driven by the food system, so it's likely that Oliver was one of the connoisseurs who came to China to study food.

In addition to Chuancheng, there may also be a lot of foreign tourists and foreign students from other cities.

This has been a few years of rapid development in China, and it is not surprising that there has been an increase in tourists and international students. Even if it's a butterfly effect, Ash thinks the end result should be good.

Figuring out the rewards and new tasks, Ash quickly exited the system space, already thinking about what she was going to do with the month.

*

Ash, who had a buffer period for another month, had tongue cancer that did not go away, so she still had to undergo a new chemotherapy regimen.

Ash didn't want to waste any time, and while she was hospitalized for chemotherapy and observation, she had to have video calls with Su Yang every day.

After she decided to fly to France, Su Yang became her "doppelganger" at Shiheng Restaurant, managing the back kitchen of the restaurant for her, and the restaurant did not really close down because of this.

Through the video, Ash visually inspected the dosing and matching of those ingredients, but because he couldn't weigh them by himself, there would be some deviations after all.

However, in these extraordinary times, this can only be done temporarily.

During her five days at the French hospital, Ash was working on new dishes in addition to video calls, and innovation was essential for the restaurant to maintain its momentum.

Customers may not cancel their first order for the time being because of her tongue cancer, but they can't say for sure. She didn't know how good she was, and how much it would cost if she could. So now we can only race against time to do things to the fullest in the limited time.

Ash thought that if she really died, then it might not be bad for the chef of Shiheng Restaurant to hand it over to Su Yang.

But this is the worst-case scenario, of course, it is better for her to do it herself!

It's one thing to know that the side effects of chemotherapy can be significant, it's another to experience them firsthand, and Rao is that Ash has been mentally prepared, and when those side effects hit, she still couldn't bear the pain.

The chemotherapy destroyed not only the skin of her tongue, but also the area from the tip of her nose to her collarbone, not only did her sense of taste not improve at all, but at the same time, she felt that her sense of smell was slowly deteriorating.

The pain was tolerable, the radiation from chemotherapy was tolerable, but what Ash alone could not endure was the growing numbness of his tongue and his weakening sense of smell.

In the dead of night, Ash often huddles in bed alone, enduring the pain of tongue cancer. She gritted her teeth and did not dare to wake up her mother, who was accompanying her treatment.

She believes that this is already the final test, if she can really not die, she can really get rid of the manipulation of the gastronomic system. Then, even if the sense of taste is out of order and the sense of smell is degraded, there must be a way to make a delicious taste in the world.

There is no endless road, as long as you live, you must have a chance, and there must be a way to make a comeback.

Ash survived the first week of chemotherapy with this belief, and finally, it was time for her to return to the restaurant.

Thinking that she could go to the restaurant to test whether her sense of taste could be restored, and that she could go back to cooking the ingredients and making the food by herself, she felt that the physical pain was much reduced.

Another long-distance flight of more than ten hours, and considering her physical condition, they bought first class. Fang Jinchao has also been accompanying her, discussing her case with Wells, combined with her previous experience.

After sleeping all the way, finally the plane was descending rapidly, and they returned to the land of Sichuan City.

Ash's heart has a sense of solidity, perhaps, every time he comes back in the future, it may be goodbye.

As he exited the airport, Ash paused as he did at a French airport.

Ahead, her friends were waiting for her.

Ying Zheng, Fan Xiang, Su Yang, Gao Minzhen, Oliver, Haozi...... Also, Fang Yizhou.

He also knew, and he came back.
