Garmandis tapped lightly on Nian Bing's head with his claw, snapping him back to reality, "Hey, hurry up and cook. Don't procrastinate, I'm already hungry."
Nian Bing returned to his senses, suppressing his excitement. He knew this was not the time to ask questions, and even if he did, Garmandis wouldn't tell him. Calming his mind, he rubbed his aching head and said, "Great Garmandis, you should know, this rib will be more tender after soaking in icy water. Good things come to those who wait, so please be patient."
Garmandis snorted, his dragon head leaning over the pot, his eyes full of desire, "No tofu is too hot for me to swallow, but, what is tofu?"
Nian Bing patiently explained, "Tofu is a type of food made from beans. It is highly nutritious and tasty. If you want to try it, I will make it for you when I have the chance."
"Great, great, great. I'm starting to believe that you are a chef," Garmandis said happily, sounding like a child.
