The night outside the window is hazy. Colorful neon lights contrast with the sparkling wet road. The floor-to-ceiling windows of the restaurant are isolated from rainy nights, which makes people feel warm and comfortable indoors.
Griffin is a frequent visitor here and a famous gourmet. As a young mathematician, his identity is almost forgotten by many people. He doesn't care about this.
He tasted delicious mandarin fish. He thinks this mandarin fish with tomato sauce is the most delicious seafood he has ever tasted! He has a good sense of smell. He imagined how the chef in the restaurant cooked such exquisite dishes so that he could cook one for his friends when he went back!
He is a famous amateur chef in Chicago. All the exquisite recipes he has tasted, he can rearrange the cooking with his amazing olfactory memory, and the taste is not bad!
He never drinks. However, it is a lifelong regret that you can taste the unparalleled delicacies in the world without drinking "nectar and jade".
He sipped his wine slowly. He didn't leave contentedly until the restaurant closed.
This is the most delicious mandarin fish he has ever eaten. He will never forget it.
It's drizzling in the street. As if plumes of smoke rose from the ground, hazy and looming.
Griffin is in a good mood. In such an atmosphere, we must slow down and recall something more attractive.
He walked alone, chewing the aftertaste left by that delicious food.
I don't know if it rained or if Griffin didn't pay attention. When he walked out of the restaurant into the street, a passing freight truck suddenly knocked him unconscious.
It was an accident on the night of1978+1October 17. Griffin said this when he recalled afterwards.
He was taken to the hospital for emergency treatment.
His head was injured, and there were no scratches or bruises elsewhere. Eight days later, he recovered and went home.
To celebrate the lucky man who escaped from death, friends came to Griffin's house for a party.
Griffin is more active and lively than ever. He will cook by himself and cook some delicious dishes for everyone.
There are many delicious dishes on the long table. Among them, Griffin is most proud of the mandarin fish in tomato sauce that he just learned to cook.
But the guests were disappointed after tasting it, frowning like biting bitter gourd.
"Why, isn't it delicious?" Griffin stared at the guests with amazing eyes. He tasted it himself.
His expression is as calm as before. The guests couldn't help looking at each other and wondering.
He burned a heavy mandarin fish. Why is it tasteless? !
At this moment, a friend who was late came in outside the door. He presented flowers to Griffin, hoping that his life would be as beautiful as flowers.
This bouquet of roses smells so good that the room is full of its fragrance.
Griffin doesn't know. He smelled it again and again, but his face did not have the usual pleasure and joy brought by the flowers.
The gas overflowed, almost suffocating, but Griffin couldn't smell it at all. Once, his neighbor's house next door caught fire, and smoke and burnt smell came to the nose. Griffin, as if nothing had happened, could not smell the strange smell in the air and almost lost his life.
Friends remembered these past events and concluded that Griffin had a problem with his nose, which was a great surprise.
They sent him to the hospital. Medical experts diagnosed that Griffin did suffer from a rare disease-olfactory loss. The car accident that happened that night damaged his olfactory nerve and interrupted the nerve connection between his brain and nose-a "short circuit" phenomenon appeared.
Medical experts have no good ideas about this. Soon, Griffin sued the court again and again, demanding compensation from the driver who was disabled by the car accident.
The lawsuit ended in Griffin's victory. He received considerable compensation. However, his original keen sense of smell could not be restored.
The fragrance of flowers, the earthy smell of fields and the rosin smell of mountains no longer belong to him.
Excellent cooking can only be a good memory for him. ...
