"How does it taste?" Xia Lu looked at Zhang Ma with anticipation. "Can you identify it?"
Zhang Ma tasted it carefully, frowned after a while, and said, "The taste is quite familiar, but I'm not sure what's in it right now. I can only try while making it, maybe I'll figure it out."
"That's fine, let's start now."
Having tasted Lin Xilin's homemade chestnut mousse cake earlier, Xia Lu found it quite delicious and wanted to try making it herself, but she couldn't figure out the secret recipe. She tried several local dessert shops, but none compared to the cake Lin Xilin had brought. She wasn't well-acquainted with Lin Xilin to bother her specifically for this, so she had to find a way herself.
Luckily, she had Zhang Ma.
"Zhang Ma, your taste has always been the most sensitive. You can tell what's in a dish with just one bite, why isn't it working this time?" Xia Lu couldn't help but ask as they prepared the ingredients together.
