The others all laughed at Chen Cang being pitifully tricked by his own culinary disaster.
"How could this happen?"
After rinsing his mouth, Chen Cang returned to his spot and cautiously tasted the food in front of him again, only to find that the excessive seasoning had compounded the flavors, with predictable results.
"Finally, I can eat!"
Tang Ming couldn't be bothered with everyone else and wolfed down the food he had grilled.
"Let me try!"
Xia Wei'er, sitting beside Tang Ming, picked up a mushroom and took a bite.
"Wow, this is so delicious, how did you grill this?"
"Really? For real?"
Li Xiaoli asked dubiously, "You aren't just saying that because you like Tang Ming and are trying to flatter him, are you?"
"I... I don't like him at all, it's genuinely tasty..."
Xia Wei'er explained with some blushing.
"I want to try too!"
