Illuminated by the feeble green flame placed right underneath the small golden cauldron, the old man focused on controlling its intensity. Inside the cauldron, various ingredients floated on the surface of the brownish liquid, while being slowly boiled.
Exactly five minutes later, the old man grabbed a simple wooden bowl, and used it to scoop a good amount of the finished product, filling the bowl almost completely. He then moved the bowl closed to his nose, and after inhaling the thick aroma emanated by its content.. He made a metallic spoon appear in his hand, and started to eat it one spoon at a time.
No long after, the bowl was completely empty.. "It needs a little more salt.." muttered the old man with dissatisfaction.
