I was really surprised at how skillfully they were able to cook so much in such a short amount of time.
Not only did he take the food, but he was serious about how to taste it, and I thought that he was a true instructor when he asked the person who made the food and took notes.
"I wanted to make it with burdock in the field, but I didn't have time and didn't make it in time."
Many people grow vegetables in the fields, such as "The cucumbers keep coming in the fields and I can't eat them all."
