"Ah? Can't eat it?" The Immortal Official seemed disappointed. Seeing Sun Wukong's face darken, he quickly added, "It's fine not to eat, to be able to see your cooking skills at work even just with our eyes is also quite a treat."
The other Immortal Officials quickly echoed him, "Right, right, right, even if we can't taste it, it's nice to just watch the method and perhaps learn something, isn't that right, God of Cookery?"
The God of Cookery was planning to study the dish's method when Sun Wukong demonstrated his culinary skills. He thought that even if he couldn't replicate the exact flavor, it would be quite good to make something similar. After all, although he wasn't as skilled as Chef Wukong, without him around to compare to, his own cooking was still decent.
"Exactly," they agreed, "it would be great to have a firsthand look at the process. If we can't feast our mouths, at least we can feast our eyes, right?"
