Their mouths started watering despite themselves as they watched Carl put the shiitake into his mouth.
His eyes widened after he bit into it and the tasty soup seeped out.
The taste of the soup and the shiitake melded together, stimulating his taste buds.
The shiitakes have been dried, but they taste tender and soft, Carl thought to himself. They have made the soup even better! Shiitakes and chicken are a perfect match! He savored the bite, and then swallowed.
"The shiitakes I ate before can't compete with this," said Carl. "Mag is a genius. His shiitakes are definitely of high quality, and he knows the best way to cook them. If he had launched this dish sooner, I wouldn't have had to go to great lengths to look for shiitakes." He put another piece of shiitake into his mouth, took a bite of rice, and chewed slowly with a blissful smile.
Now the sound of swallowing saliva could be heard in the room.
