Inside Carefree Hut, Wonton studied the recipe with great care, while Tortoise Jelly, busy as can be, turned and shouted for some help.
Wonton: Um—take a quantity of pork belly, a quantity of green onion, garlic, and ginger… Tortoise Jelly, how much is a quantity? Is this enough?
Tortoise Jelly: Take half of what’s in your hand and give it to me. And help me add some salt. This pot’s too big, I don’t have a free hand.
Wonton: Ah, okay… like this?
Tortoise Jelly: No, stop! Not so much! …This is sugar! The one next to it is salt.
Wonton: They look about the same. Both are white. It’s okay, no one will be able to tell.
Tortoise Jelly: (Taking a breath) Stay calm, don’t let him get to you… help me pour in a little light soy sauce.
Wonton: Uh, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce…
Tortoise Jelly: The one on your left is light soy sauce. The right is dark. Take the left one and just pour a bit in.
Wonton: Tortoise Jelly, what’s the difference really between light and dark soy sauce?
Tortoise Jelly: … Just pour first! Everything’s gonna be burnt in a minute!
Wonton: Okay, go on. Go on.
Tortoise Jelly: This is dark soy sauce!
Wonton: That’s okay. Anyway, it’s all soy sauce. No one will be able to tell. How about you give me the pot and let me try?
Tortoise Jelly: … Alright, but you be careful. Don’t let it burn.
Wonton: This pot has a scorched smell… the foods burning! Tortoise Jelly, help!
Tortoise Jelly: Wwwooo—ooonnn—toonnn!
Wonton: Oh, I just remembered Cloud Tea said she’s got some tea to give me. I better get going!
Tortoise Jelly: If that’s the case, then don’t come back! There will be no food for you tonight anyway!!!
