Demi shook her head and replied, "No. We can search for recipes online later."
Maria appeared slightly shocked and laughed as she asked, "You don't? I thought you knew everything."
Demi explained, "I seldom eat seafood."
Lindton was situated inland, and she lived in the mountains when she went to the world of cultivation. Therefore, she rarely got to eat seafood.
However, in Maria's opinion, Demi meant something else. Maria thought that Demi rarely got to eat seafood because she came from a low-income family.
When the two of them were conversing, Wendy approached them slowly and asked with a smile, "Demi, do you know how to make seafood dishes?"
Without saying anything, Demi shook her head and added as an afterthought, "I will search for recipes online later."
Wendy agreed, "Sure, we can watch the tutorial videos together."
As the sun dipped below the horizon, everyone's bucket was also filled with their catch of the day. Wendy waved to the cast members and shouted, "Alright, it's time for us to return now!"
With that, everyone cleaned up and got on the bus home.
On the bus, Nigel started making plans and said, "Honey, how about we do it this way? Demi and you will go to the grocery store. You can decide what to make tonight and then buy what you need. You can bring another two people to help you carry the groceries.
"The other four of us will go back to prepare the seafood for cooking later."
"I will accompany Mrs. Yale and Ms. Moone to the grocery store," Chad and George volunteered in unison as soon as Nigel finished his sentence.
Ana's gaze flickered. According to Nigel, this meant that Wendy and Demi were in charge of making dinner tonight. She wanted to be part of the cooking team as well.
Ever since she lost to Demi in the last episode, she had put in a lot of effort in private to learn how to cook. She even learned how to identify which food sourced from nature was edible and which was not. She didn't want Demi to always be in the limelight, and she didn't want to always lose out to Demi.
Ana decided to speak up softly. "Uh, Mrs. Yale, I want to go to the grocery store with you as well. I learned how to make a few dishes at home and would like to make it for everyone tonight."
She looked a little bashful as she said that.
Everyone was speechless.
Maria immediately thought, "We dare not eat your dishes! We don't want to get food poisoning!"
It was safe to say that everyone echoed this sentiment.
